Jeongguk didn't know where he was going.

Everything around him was a blur; the crowds around him and the estranged looks he got as he rushed through the hospital corridors. His heart pounded in his chest like a drumbeat of fear. His entire body and soul were overwhelmed with anxiety and panic. Every step he took felt like an eternity, each passing moment filled with an overwhelming sense of dread. His mind raced with a million thoughts, each one more terrifying than the last.

At one point, out of his sane conscience, he grabbed onto a passer-by nurse and asked her where the emergency room was, after which he was guided to the said room. He didn't remember much of it. Everything was a blur and he didn't care. His head spun and his mouth was dry. There was only one goal in his head: finding Taehyung and confirming if he was alright.

He had received the call about Taehyung being rushed to the hospital when he was finishing up his training. He remembered his father's voice but only some keywords like "bleeding", "Passed out", "emergency room" and "unconscious" were registered in his mind. His mind had gone blank since the moment the call ended with a brutal beep and he couldn't recall how he got to the hospital. He probably took a taxi. He remembered handing out money to a driver.

The moment he pushed open the doors to the emergency room, doctors and nurses rushing around him, he looked around to spot a familiar face. When he couldn't, he rushed to the nearest nurse.

"Kim Taehung, a male omega who came here with bleeding? About one-and-half months pregnant" Jeongguk's voice carried desperation. "I'm his mate. Where is he?"

"Over there" Jeongguk followed the direction the nurse pointed, eyes scanning where he might be. Upon walking a few meters, he saw a curtain of a cubicle being opened by a doctor and red hair... Jeongguk gaped, feet working on their own accord as he ran to the cubicle.

He pulled the curtain, his heart in his throat as he took in the sight before him. Taehyung lay motionless on the hospital bed, his face pale and drawn, his chest rising and falling in shallow breaths.

A surge of raw emotion welled up inside Jeongguk, threatening to overwhelm him as he crossed over to Taehyung with a few quick strides. His hands shook as he reached out to touch Taehyung's face, his fingers brushing against the soft skin as tears pricked at the corners of his eyes. He could feel the coolness of Taehyung's skin beneath his fingertips, sending a shiver of dread down his spine.

"Taehyung" Jeongguk whispered, chest tightening with fear. He reached out to brush Taehyung's hair back from his forehead, his touch gentle yet urgent.

He looked around him to see his father standing on the other side of the bed, his expression one of worry and fear.

"Why isn't he awake?" Jeongguk whispered.
