Jungkook paced back and forth infront of the operating room. His hair was disheveled and a bit bloody due to the number of times he'd ran his fingers through it. His hands were painted red by Jimin's blood from when he'd held him briefly before the paramedics took him. He looked at his hands and they began shaking as it dawned on him that Jimin had taken a bullet for him. Tears filled his eyes.

The numbness and shock were slowly wearing off. Jungkook let out a guttural scream as he fell to his knees. He felt arms engulf him in an embrace. He looked up to see Seokjin hugging him and he turned and hid his face on Seokjin's chest. He gripped his hyungs sweater tightly while he cried. There was so much pain in his heart.

“H-hyung. Min- they- Minnie.”
“It's okay bun. Jiminie is going to be okay.” Jin whispered to him. Jungkook felt so useless. Jin soothed his back trying to calm him. Finally when Jungkook managed to pull himself together, Jin helped him sit on the waiting chairs along with Yoongi and Hoseok who looked at him with sadness in their eyes. They looked as if they'd been crying too.

Jungkook leaned back on the chair and grunted in pain. He had forgotten all about his pain. His hyungs turned to him concerned.

“I'll call the doctor to check you out.” Hobi said standing up.
“Not now hyung. Please, I want to wait for Jimin's operation to be over. I can bear it.” His physical pain was nothing compared to his emotional pain. They didn't say anything as Hobi sat back down. They got silent as they waited. How long ago had they taken his husband? It seemed like forever.

He heard footsteps approaching and Jungkook looked up to see their manager Sejin and their CEO Mr. Bang. His hyung stood up but Jungkook didn't feel like he had the energy.

“Are you okay Jungkook? Namjoon called us.” Mr. Bang asked.
“He's in pain but won't leave till Jimin's out of OR.” Yoongi told them. Jungkook was grateful to him.
“How did this happen? Your house is secure so how did they get in your house?” Sejin asked worrying his bottom lip. Jungkook looked at Sejin and he finally thought about it. How did Park Shin enter their home?

He had made sure the security of the mansion was top notch before they moved. Before anyone could enter their home they'd have to enter a code then go through a facial recognition scan. If the face was not recognized then an alert went direct to Jimin and Jungkook simultaneously  who authorized or declined the visitor. He didn't even have his phone to confirm if he got such an alert.

“For now just stay put. Somehow the media got wind of this and are flocking outside. We'll try to control the situation.” Sejin said.
“Did they get him?” Jungkook asked in a small voice.
“Who?”
“Park Shin, Jimin's father.” Silence followed Jungkook's statement. He looked up to find everyone looking shocked.
“That son of a bitch did this?” Yoongi roared. Jungkook had no idea who they thought attacked them. “I'll fucking hunt that man down myself.”
“Calm down Yoongi.” Mr. Bang said calmly. “There were only six men arrested and Park Shin was not among them.” Jungkook cursed that man in his mind.
“They hurt my dongsaengs uncle. You do everything in your power to get that man.” Jin said wiping his tears angrily.

“Stay here. Your bodyguards are coming up in a few. We'll brief the media and head to the police station. Keep us updated.” Mr. Bang and Sejin bowed slightly and left them.

Jungkook had no idea how much time had passed. He was rocking on his seat when he heard the doors to the operating room slide open. He stood up quickly as he saw two surgeons coming to them. His hyungs stood up also eager to hear the news.

“How is he?”
“Are you his family?” One doctor asked.

“He's my husband.” Jungkook didn't hesitate to reply. How cruel that the world had to find out about his husband in such a way. They had planned their coming out so perfectly.

“The bullet managed to pierce his right lung while one of the cracked ribs punctured the left one. So we have to keep draining fluids from the lungs around his heart. We've induced him in a coma and for now he'll have an endotracheol tube to help him breath as his lungs recover.”
“So how is he generally?” Jin asked desperately.
“Due to the blood loss, he also lost the baby. I'm so sor-”
“What?” Jungkook asked his head muddled. Did he say baby? “What baby?”
“Mr. Jimin appeared to be atleast four weeks pregnant.” The doctor dropped the bomb.
“P-pregnant? Baby? We were going to have another baby?” Jungkook asked the doctor.
“I'm so sorry for your loss Jungkook-ssi.” The doctor said and bowed. “Jimin will be transferred to the ICU shortly. You should wait for him on the third floor.” The doctor said and walked away.

Baby. Baby. That's what kept ringing in Jungkook's mind. Park Shin took away their chance to be parents again. Jungkook was overwhelmed and he felt his world close in on him and finally gave in to the darkness. He heard his hyung shout out his name from a distant. Merely few weeks ago he had promised Jimin he'd protect him. What a lie! He'd failed miserably.
