Waiting for us (a Bang Chan x male reader story)

Ch 8

After getting my station set up I turn when I hear voices and laughter enter the room I immediately seeing Day6. Miyeon assigns me YoungK and I give him a polite smile he giving me one back. He takes a seat and I start focusing on his makeup and everything he making comments occasionally we getting to know each other. Just as I finish up his makeup though my phone starts going off I immediately confused because not many people call me. Giving him an apologetic smile I immediately frown when I check my phone seeing Kira's name pop up. Having a bad feeling I look at YoungK with an apologetic bow. "Sorry it's an emergency I have to take this." He nods in understanding and I leave the styling room answering the phone curiously. "Hello?" I immediately hear Kira's panicked voice on the other end. "Fenton it's Jared! He fell off the jungle gym and is at the hospital. I have Jason here with me in the waiting room." I immediately feel my stomach drop I saying in a reassuring voice. "I'll be there as soon as possible." She assures me she'll stay with the boys until I get there I quickly hanging up and rush back into the room starting to grab my things YoungK looking at me in confusion. "Are you okay?" Feeling my hands shake and fumbling with getting the cases closed I run a hand through my hair. "My sons in the hospital I need to leave." His expression turns to one of concern. "Do you need help getting to the lobby?" I hesitate before shaking my head instead asking pleadingly. "Can you please show me where the Stray kids practice room is? I need to get Chan." He looks confused but nods. "Yeah sure let's go." He gets up I immediately letting Miyeon know what's going on she telling me to come back to work when everything is settled I then quickly following YoungK to the elevators. We get in heading down a floor before we exit the elevator and YoungK leads me down the hall to a practice room the door closed and music playing. I thank him before entering the room without even knocking I seeing a bunch of the members stop and look at me in confusion but I ignore them and head straight for Chan who sees me in the mirror he immediately turning to me in confusion and asks for one of the members to turn the music off. Once the loud music is off Chan goes to open his mouth but I cut him off. "Jared's in the hospital. He fell off a jungle gym and got hurt pretty bad." I see his eyes widen a little before he rushes to grab his things he immediately calling out as he fumbles to put his things in a gym bag. "Minho you're in charge until I get back and please get the manager to take you home." I see the others give him confused looks as Chan rushes to my side I instinctively grabbing onto his hand and start leading him out the door. We start to pass by YoungK I stopping to give a quick bow. "Thank you for helping me." He reassures me it's fine I giving a little smile before dragging Chan to the elevators we getting in and he looks at me worriedly. "I hope he's okay." I nod in agreement fidgeting from anxiety as we rush to the car Chan drives we immediately hopping in and start driving to the hospital Kira told me. Once we arrive I jump out of the car and rush to the doors Chan quickly on my heels. I ask the receptionist about where Jared is she telling me which floor. I thank her before we rush to the elevators and I press the floor number shifting and fidgeting when Chan suddenly takes my hand and intertwines our fingers. I look up at him and he gives a small smile. "I'm sure he's fine." I go to say something when the elevator dings I snapping out of it and instead rush out of the elevator to a little waiting room where I see Kira. "Kira!" She turns and immediately looks relieved before looking at Chan in slight surprise. She then snaps out of it and looks back at me. "He's in surgery for his arm. I'm sorry Fenton I just turned my head for a second and then Jason screamed and next thing I know Jared's on the ground unconscious." I give her a little reassuring look. "It's okay Kira it was an accident." She nods then says softly. "I'm going to go but let me know how he is." I nod then turn my head to see Chan sitting with Jason who's hugging his knees to his chest. Frowning I make my way over feeling worried. "You okay bud?" He looks up at me pitifully before he bursts into tears. "I'm sorry daddy. I accidentally pushed Jared and made him fall. Now he's hurt and it's my fault." My expression softens and I kneel down in front of him. "Hey. It's okay sweetie. It was an accident I know you didn't mean to." Chan suddenly speaks up surprising me a little. "It's not your fault little man. We know that and I'm sure your brother knows that." Jason seems to relax a little at his words and suddenly I hear someone clear his throat I turning my head and immediately stand up when I see a doctor. "Are you Sam Jared's parents?" I nod at him. "Yes that's us." He nods before saying softly. "He made it out of surgery perfectly fine. We had to reset his arm and he'll have two casts put on. The first one will be up to his shoulder and after a few months the second will be around his wrist." I nod feeling a little relieved. "Can we see him?" He smiles and nods telling me a nurse will show us to his room in a moment. Sighing a little I look over at Chan. "Do you think management will be mad you upped and left?" He shakes his head. "No I'm sure it won't be a problem. But what was up with you and Brian?" I blink a little then shrug. "Kira called me to tell me Jared was in the hospital and I asked him to show me where you practiced." He nods in understanding before saying softly. "I appreciate you coming to get me." I shrug. "Yeah well I kinda feel guilty that you missed out on their lives for so long." He goes to say something but the nurse shows up I immediately going to follow her while Chan grabs Jason and follows me. We make it to a small room and I rush in heading to the side of the bed where a sleeping Jared is. Soon the little boy starts stirring I immediately giving him a little smile when his eyes open. "Hey sweetheart how are you feeling?" He blinks before saying softly. "I'm okay." He then looks over at Chan his little face lighting up. "Hi appa." Chan's expression softens. "Hey bud. I like your cast color. Did you pick it?" Jared immediately nods smiling. "The nurse asked me what color I wanted and I liked the pink color." I smile softly and suddenly Jason wriggles out of Chan's arms and walks over to Jared's bedside looking sad. "I'm sorry I got you hurt." I see Jared's expression soften. "It's okay Jay. You didn't mean to." I see Jason relax and Chan suddenly excuses himself pulling his phone out. I watch him leave the room then look at Jared with a smile. "So what do you wanna eat when you get to go home? Brave little boys get whatever they want." He immediately brightens up. "I want chicken!" I chuckle softly and nod. "Alright chicken it is." After sitting there for awhile we joking and playing around a little when Chan comes back into the room carrying two things I noticing it's stuffed animals. He immediately smiles and hands a small stuffed kangaroo to Jared and a small stuffed wolf to Jason. "Here I found these in the gift shop." Both boys perk up and say cheerfully. "Thank you appa!" He smiles softly and I carefully help Jason up on the large bed beside his brother they playing with the stuffed animals until they both fall asleep. Once I'm sure they're fast asleep I look over at Chan. "So who called?" He gives me a reassuring smile. "Just my members. I told them I wouldn't be home tonight due to an emergency." I give a little nod it quiet for a moment before he speaks up. "I think you all should meet my members. The boys will gain a bunch of uncles and everything." I immediately look at him with a frown. "And what exactly do we tell them Chan?" He gives me a reassuring look. "They're all really nice and supportive. I know they'll accept our situation no matter what." I give him a wary look before sighing at his pleading pout. "Fine. But so help me Chan if it turns out bad I'm slapping you." He smiles reassuringly his expression softening when I rub my eyes tiredly. "You should get some rest." I shake my head. "Im fine." He gives me a slight look as my eyes droop. "You can barely hold your head up." Suddenly I'm being scooped up and sat on his lap he gently pushing my head down on his shoulder. "Rest Fenton." I go to protest but can't hold my eyes open anymore I slowly dozing off in the feeling of Chan's strong arms.
