The next day, Jungkook woke up early, as usual, and headed towards Evan's room. The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a soft glow through the curtains. He reached Evan's bedroom door and turned the handle, stepping inside with a warm smile.
"Good morning, baby" Jungkook said softly, his voice filled with affection. "Wakey wakey."
He approached Evan's bed and gently touched his son's shoulder, but something felt off. Evan's body was unusually warm. Jungkook's heart skipped a beat as he noticed how flushed Evan's face was, his cheeks a deep red.
"My Love?" Jungkook's voice took on a note of concern. He leaned closer, placing his hand on Evan's forehead. The heat was alarming. "Evan, wake up, bubu."
There was no response. Evan lay still, his breathing ragged, and he seemed to be hiccuping uncontrollably. Jungkook's panic rose as he realized Evan was not just sleeping-he was fainted.
"Shit, Evan!" Jungkook exclaimed, his voice trembling with fear. He quickly pulled out his phone and dialed the family doctor's number.
"Hello, this is Dr. Kim" came the calm voice on the other end.
"Doctor Kim, it's Jungkook. My son-Evan-he's burning up, and he's not waking up properly. His face is really red, and he's been hiccuping. I don't know what to do!" Jungkook's voice was urgent and desperate.
"Alright, Mr Jeon, stay calm" Dr. Kim said soothingly. "I'll come over right away. In the meantime, keep him cool and make sure he's lying flat."
Jungkook hung up and rushed to Evan's side. He gently moved Evan, placing him in his lap in a more comfortable position. He then grabbed a damp cloth and placed it on Evan's forehead to help cool him down. "Ohh God, my baby!" He whispered to himself.

Minutes felt like hours until the doorbell rang. Jungkook dashed to answer it, finding Dr. Kim standing there with his medical bag. Jungkook ushered him inside, leading him to Evan's room.
Dr. Kim quickly assessed the situation. He checked Evan's temperature with a thermometer and examined him carefully.
"His fever is quite high" Dr. Kim said after a few moments, his brow furrowed with concern. "He's likely suffering from a severe infection. It's good that you called me quickly."
Jungkook nodded, anxiety clear on his face. "What should I do, doctor? How can I help my son?"
Dr. Kim took a deep breath. "First, make sure he stays cool. We'll need to bring his fever down. I'll give him some medication to help with that. You should also make sure he's drinking fluids. It's important to keep him hydrated."
Jungkook nodded, trying to process everything. "Okay. I'll get him some water."
Dr. Kim turned to Jungkook with a reassuring smile. "Give him anything he's asking for, even if it's just small sips of water or juice. Let him rest as much as possible. If he starts complaining of headaches or becomes more irritable, let me know immediately."
