Junki (furious, shouting): "SHE IS NOT YOUR MOM! She's my wife!"

Jungkook's breath hitches, and he instinctively takes a step back, the force of Junki's words hitting him like a physical blow. 

As they stand locked in a silent battle of wills, Taehyung glances over at Jia, his protective instincts kicking in. He notices the change in her immediately—her eyes are wide with fear, her breathing becoming rapid and shallow. Panic starts to flicker across her face as her condition deteriorates.

Taehyung (urgently, shouting): "We need a doctor in here! Now!"

Within moments, nurses and a doctor rush into the room, their faces set in focused determination as they assess Jia's condition. The beeping of the heart monitor grows erratic, the sound filling the room with a sense of urgency.

Junki (coldly): "You're not taking her anywhere, Jungkook. She's staying with me. And unless you and that brat next to you sign those property papers, I'm not letting her go."

Taehyung (firm, protective): "Mr. Jeon, you're not in control here. She's your wife, not your property. We're not signing anything under your threats."

Junki (threatening): "You think you're so tough, don't you? With your money and your attitude. But here's the truth: you've got nothing without that signature. I'll make sure she never leaves this hospital unless I get what I want."

taehyung:(yelling, furious "You're a coward, sir! Using her condition to blackmail us? You're the lowest kind of person!" 

Junki (snarling): "You have 24 hours to make your decision. Sign those papers, or she stays here—and she'll be worse off for it."

Nurse (firmly, addressing everyone): "Sir, you all need to leave the room immediately. We need to stabilize her condition—please, get out of the way!"

Outside the Room

Namjoon: (concerned)"Taehyung, is she alright?"

Taehyung: "She was fine when we came to see her, but when Jungkook's dad showed up, her condition got worse."

Namjoon: (worried)"Where's Jungkook?"

Taehyung: "I don't know... He was with me in the room a little while ago."

Namjoon: (panicking)"You left him alone?! Are you out of your mind? We need to find him, now!"

Taehyung: (confused) "But what's going on? Why are you so worried?"

Namjoon: "Just do as I say! I'll search downstairs. You check upstairs, quickly!"

Namjoon and Taehyung frantically start searching for Jungkook, darting through the house. Eventually, Taehyung finds Jungkook on the terrace.

Taehyung: (panicked)"Oh God, Jungkook! Are you alright?

Jungkook sits on the terrace floor, his back against the wall, struggling to breathe. His chest heaves with rapid, shallow breaths, and his hands tremble uncontrollably. His eyes are wide, filled with fear, as he clutches at his chest, trying to calm his racing heart. Sweat beads on his pale face. he feels like suffocating. Each breath is a desperate gasp, as if he's drowning, with panic overwhelming him more by the second.

Taehyung rushes to Jungkook's side on the terrace, his hands trembling as he pulls out his phone and quickly dials Namjoon.

Taehyung:(voice shaky)"Namjoon, I found him... He's having a panic attack! I-I don't know what to do. He's really struggling to breathe."

Namjoon: "Taehyung, stay with him. Keep talking to him, softly. Help him focus on his breathing—slow and steady, in and out . I'm on my way up, okay? Just keep him grounded until I get there."

Taehyung:"Okay... okay, I'll try. Hurry, please."

He ends the call and kneels beside Jungkook,his own heart pounding  in his chest
