The hospital hallway echoed with Jungkook's hurried footsteps as he cradled Y/n in his arms, a mix of worry and urgency etched on his face. The weight of the moment, the impending birth, and the surge of resurfaced memories pressed upon him like a heavy burden.

"Doctor, she's in labor!" Jungkook called out, his voice carrying a sense of urgency. The medical staff swiftly took charge, guiding Y/n into a hospital room where the echoes of labor pains would soon be replaced by the cries of new life. Jungkook, momentarily frozen, watched the door close behind them, his emotions a tumultuous storm.

Tears welled in his eyes as the reality of his regained memories settled in. He turned away, the hospital's sterile scent mingling with the heaviness of the revelations. The world seemed to stand still, and Jungkook felt an overwhelming sense of numbness.

With hesitant steps, he made his way to the hospital's call area, fingers trembling as he dialed Taehyung's number. Each tone of the ringing phone echoed his own internal chaos. Taehyung's calm "Hello" cut through the air, a stark contrast to the whirlwind of emotions within Jungkook.

"Dr. Kim... Y/n... in labor... come to the hospital," Jungkook uttered, his voice subdued, each word weighed down by the gravity of the situation. The line went silent as the message sank in.

As Taehyung arrived at the hospital, the contrast of emotions played on his face. Happiness, for the imminent arrival of the baby, and concern, for the intense situation. He spotted Jungkook on a bench, his gaze fixed on the hospital room where Y/n was. Jungkook's face, now devoid of emotion, hinted at the internal struggle he grappled with.

"Jungkook," Taehyung called out, his tone a mix of understanding and readiness. Jungkook turned to face him, eyes conveying a complex blend of turmoil. Taehyung approached, sharing the weight of the moment with silent reassurance.

"Where is Y/n?" Taehyung inquired, his eyes darting towards the closed door of the hospital room. Jungkook's gaze followed, and as their eyes met, unspoken understanding passed between them.

The sterile hospital room seemed to glow with an ethereal light as the nurse carefully cradled the tiny bundle in her arms, a radiant smile playing on her lips. Taehyung, anticipation etched on his features, extended his arms eagerly to receive the precious cargo that would soon become the centerpiece of his world.

"Mr. Kim, your baby girl," the nurse announced with genuine warmth, carefully placing the newborn in Taehyung's awaiting arms. His eyes sparkled with joy and pride, emotions that danced across his face like sunlight on water. In that singular moment, he felt the weight of responsibility and the overwhelming love for the tiny life he now held.

Taehyung, with a radiant smile, turned to the nurse with a blend of concern and excitement. "How is my wife?" he inquired, his voice reflecting the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies the arrival of a new life.

The nurse, accustomed to navigating the delicate interplay of emotions in a hospital setting, offered a reassuring smile. "Mrs. Kim is doing well. The labor went smoothly, and she' is fine, You can meet her," she replied, the professional warmth in her tone designed to ease any apprehensions.

Relief washed over Taehyung's features as he absorbed the positive news. His attention shifted from the newborn to the nurse, gratitude evident in his eyes. "Thank you. We appreciate your care," he expressed sincerely, acknowledging the pivotal role the medical team played in ensuring a safe delivery.

As he cradled the newborn close to his chest, an aura of tenderness enveloped him. "Hello there, little one," Taehyung whispered, his voice a gentle melody, welcoming the newest member of their family. The baby, wrapped in a soft blanket, seemed to respond to the warmth of his voice with a delicate stirring.

In the background, Jungkook observed the scene, a silent observer to the joy that unfolded. His heart ached with an indescribable pain—a mixture of longing, regret, and an undeniable connection to the life that had just entered the world. His eyes, clouded with emotions, traced the outline of the tiny fingers that peeked out from the blanket.

Taehyung, immersed in the blissful moment, turned to Jungkook with an inviting smile. "Jungkook, come and meet her," he encouraged, extending an invitation for him to share in the joy of the newborn's arrival. Jungkook hesitated, his emotions a turbulent sea.

With a conflicted heart, he took a step forward, casting a glance at the baby in Taehyung's arms. The room seemed to hold its breath as he approached, a silent acknowledgment of the complexities that hung in the air. Taehyung, sensing Jungkook's internal struggle, maintained a compassionate gaze, understanding the unspoken words that lingered in the space between them.

As Jungkook stood beside Taehyung, he stole a fleeting glance at the newborn—the embodiment of a love he once shared. He felt a lump in his throat, a mixture of joy for the new life and a pang of sorrow for the one he might never fully reclaim. The duality of emotions played on his face, a silent narrative of the intricate threads that bound them all together.

"Isn't she beautiful?" Taehyung remarked, his voice filled with awe and paternal pride. Jungkook managed a nod, a strained smile masking the turbulence within. The baby, oblivious to the complexities of the world, stirred in Taehyung's arms, as if acknowledging the shared history of the individuals who gazed upon her with a spectrum of emotions.

"Mr. Kim, we'll need to complete some paperwork for the birth certificate and other formalities," the nurse explained, her voice a calming presence amid the whirlwind of emotions.

Taehyung nodded, his mind still tethered to the images of his wife and daughter. "Of course, whatever needs to be done."

Taehyung reluctantly handed over the precious bundle to the nurse, his eyes filled with both awe and a hint of reluctance. The baby girl, nestled in the nurse's capable hands, seemed to radiate a soft glow—a beacon of new life and endless possibilities.

The nurse led him to a small office, where a desk cluttered with paperwork awaited. It was a stark reminder of the administrative procedures that accompanied the joyous occasion of welcoming a new life.

Jungkook stood at the threshold of a moment that seemed to transcend the boundaries of time. The soft glow from the bedside lamp cast a warm hue, creating an intimate ambiance. Y/n lay on the bed, her eyes closed, the remnants of her labor etched in the lines of her serene face. The newborn, nestled in the crib, breathed softly in tandem with the rhythmic hum of the room.

As Jungkook approached, he felt a flood of emotions threatening to overwhelm him. He hesitated for a moment, glancing between Y/n and the precious bundle in the crib. The room echoed with the muffled sounds of the hospital—distant footsteps, the occasional beep of medical equipment—but within that cocoon, time seemed to stand still.

Gently, he lifted the baby into his arms, cradling her with a tenderness that belied the storm of emotions within him. Tears welled in his eyes, not of sadness but of joy, awe, and a profound sense of connection. His gaze lingered on the delicate features of the infant—the tiny fingers, the button nose, the peaceful slumber that defined the innocence of new life.

"I never imagined..." Jungkook whispered, his voice barely audible in the hushed room. "She's beautiful, just like her mother." He traced the contours of the baby's face with his finger, a delicate touch that carried the weight of a thousand unspoken words.

Y/n slowly blinked her lashes, emerging from a momentary slumber. Her eyes scanned the room, and a sudden realization struck her—Jungkook was cradling their daughter in his arms, his lips pressed softly against her tiny forehead. A blend of shock, worry, and protectiveness coursed through Y/n as she watched the scene unfold.

She sat up on the bed, the sheets rustling beneath her. Her eyes remained fixed on Jungkook, who turned his gaze toward her. The room seemed to hold its breath, suspended in the fragile balance between joy and uncertainty.

"Don't... Don't harm my daughter,"
