Our Long Ending Story

Chapter 22: The Memorable Sleepover

The living room was transformed into a cozy movie den, with blankets sprawled across the floor, a massive bowl of popcorn, and a spread of snacks that would make any late-night movie marathoner proud. Lisa, Jungkook, and their members were gathered for an impromptu sleepover. The night had been filled with laughter, inside jokes, and the latest movie marathon. The atmosphere was light and joyful, a welcome distraction for Lisa as she neared the end of her pregnancy.

Jungkook had insisted on making it a fun and relaxing evening. "We need to keep things light and stress-free," he said. "And what better way than with our friends and some great movies?"

Lisa, feeling a bit more comfortable despite her growing belly, had agreed. The sight of them in her living room, lounging around in pajamas, was something she never imagined would be part of her pre-baby experience.

Jisoo and Jennie were lounging on one end of the couch, chatting animatedly, while Rosé and Lisa were snuggled under a blanket, sharing funny stories. Jungkook was on the floor, using a pillow as a makeshift headrest, and V and RM were sprawled out on the other side, debating over which movie to start next.

Jungkook glanced over at Lisa, who was sipping a soda and trying to keep her discomfort at bay. "You good?" he asked.

Lisa gave him a thumbs up, though a subtle grimace betrayed her. "I'm fine. Just a little uncomfortable."

J-Hope, in his usual energetic fashion, suggested they watch a classic comedy. "Let's go with something light! How about a funny movie?"

"Sounds perfect," Lisa agreed, trying to focus on the positive.

The movie started, and everyone quickly became engrossed in the humor and antics on screen. The room was filled with laughter, particularly from Suga, who seemed to find everything particularly hilarious tonight.

"Did you see that?" Suga howled, nearly falling off the couch.

"Try to keep it down," RM said with a chuckle. "We don't want to wake up the baby before it's time."

Lisa shot Jungkook a playful look. "Well, you're certainly giving them a show with all this noise."

Jungkook grinned sheepishly. "We might be having too much fun."

Suddenly, Lisa shifted uneasily on the couch. She tried to ignore the growing discomfort, but it became harder to brush off as time passed.

"Jungkook," she whispered, "I think... something's happening."

Jungkook turned to her, his face instantly transforming from relaxed to alarmed. "What do you mean?"

Lisa bit her lip and took a deep breath. "I think... the baby is coming."

The room fell silent as Jungkook's eyes widened in shock. "You're kidding, right?"

"Nope," Lisa said, struggling to keep her composure.

Jungkook jumped up, knocking over a bowl of popcorn in the process. It rolled across the floor, scattering popcorn everywhere. "Oh my God, this is really happening!"

The commotion drew the attention of everyone in the room. Everyone exchanged confused glances as they registered the situation.

"Labor? Now?" Rosé asked, wide-eyed. "Are you serious?"

"Very serious," Lisa said, trying to smile through the pain.

Jin, ever the calm one, sprang into action. "Okay, we need to stay relaxed. Where's the hospital bag?"

Jungkook's face turned pale as he scrambled to find the bag, which was miraculously still sitting by the door. "Here! I've got it!"

Jisoo, trying to help, attempted to calm Lisa. "Just breathe, Lisa. Everything will be fine."

Lisa's breathing was becoming more erratic. "I'm breathing! I'm just not sure how much longer I can stay in one piece!"

J-Hope and Jimin, in their haste, bumped into each other while trying to get the car keys. "I think we left them in the kitchen!" J-Hope shouted.

"Seriously?" Suga retorted. "This is not the time for losing keys!"

The two of them ran to the kitchen, where they began a frantic search. Meanwhile, Lisa's contractions grew stronger, causing her to grip the couch cushions tightly.

Rosé tried to keep Lisa as comfortable as possible. "You're doing great," Rosé said, though her face showed concern.

Jungkook was racing between the kitchen and the living room, holding up keys and muttering, "I know we left them somewhere around here!" His face was a mix of panic and determination.

Finally, J-Hope and Jimin emerged from the kitchen, holding up the keys triumphantly. "Found them!" J-Hope said, grinning.

"Great!" Jungkook said, snatching the keys and rushing to the car. As he reached the door, he realized he had forgotten his phone. He turned back, only to slip on the scattered popcorn and crash into a stack of blankets, creating a makeshift pile of chaos.

"Jungkook!" Lisa shouted through her contractions, trying not to laugh. "If you can't get it together, I might just give birth right here!"

Jungkook scrambled to his feet, retrieving his phone and managing to get outside with a flurry of apologies and frantic gestures. He started the car, but then realized he'd forgotten to defrost the windows. He fumbled with the defroster as the rest of the crew gathered around Lisa inside the apartment, trying to keep her calm.

"I don't know how much longer I can do this!" Lisa cried, her face flushed with exertion.

Jung-Eun, the nurse who had given them her contact details for emergencies, was on the line. "Jungkook, you need to get Lisa to the hospital immediately. Is everything okay?"

"Everything is... sort of okay!" Jungkook said, his voice shaky. "I'm on my way."

As Lisa's contractions became more intense, everyone tried to keep her calm and comfortable. Jennie, trying to be helpful, accidentally knocked over a tray of snacks, adding to the mess. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to..."

"No worries," Lisa said, trying to smile through the pain. "It's a comedy of errors, really."

Jungkook returned to the living room, finally managing to get Lisa into the car with some assistance. "Okay, everyone. We're going to the hospital."

The drive was a blur of frenzied activity. Jungkook kept glancing nervously at Lisa, who was now gripping his hand with surprising strength. "We're almost there," he said, trying to sound reassuring.

Lisa looked at him, her pain softened slightly by the love and humor in the situation. "You know, this might be the most memorable sleepover ever."

Jungkook chuckled, though his face was still a mix of panic and excitement. "Yeah, definitely one for the books."

As they arrived at the hospital, the chaos continued. Everyone scrambled to help Lisa out of the car and into the emergency room. Blackpink and BTS, despite their usual glamorous personas, were now in full "support mode," offering moral support and a few tears of their own.

Inside the hospital, the frenzy continued with everyone trying to keep Lisa calm while also navigating the labyrinth of hospital hallways. Jungkook was at her side, holding her hand tightly as they navigated the maze.

The staff quickly took charge, guiding them to a delivery room. As Lisa settled into the bed, with everyone gathered around, doing their best to be supportive despite the frantic energy. Jungkook finally took a deep breath and looked around at their friends. "Thank you, everyone. This means more to us than you know."
