We Never New Eachother

Part 26: The Confrontation Revisited

After the chaos settled and Naeun was moved to a recovery room, Jungkook finally stepped outside to find Lisa waiting for him, her expression a mix of concern and anger.“Are you okay?” she asked, her voice softer now.“I’m fine,” he said, though his voice lacked conviction. “Naeun is stable now, but it was close.”“I can’t believe you just… you were so close to losing her,” Lisa said, her heart breaking at the sight of Jungkook’s pain. “What will you do if something happens to her?”“I don’t know,” Jungkook replied, his eyes filled with fear. “I just know I have to be there for her. She’s going through a lot.”“Jungkook, you need to think about what this means for us,” Lisa said gently. “You can’t keep trying to carry her burdens. You’re not responsible for her or the baby.”“But I can’t just abandon her,” Jungkook insisted, his voice rising with frustration. “I made a promise to be there for her.”“Promises can’t come at the expense of our relationship,” Lisa said firmly, feeling tears prick at her eyes. “I want to support you, but I can’t keep feeling like I’m competing for your attention.”“I need time to think,” Jungkook replied, running a hand through his hair.

“I care about you, Lisa, but this situation is complicated.”“Complicated doesn’t begin to describe it,” Lisa retorted, her heart racing. “You’re torn between your past and what you want now. You need to figure out what that means for us.”As they stood there in silence, both of them lost in their thoughts, a nurse approached them. “Excuse me, are you two family members of Naeun Lee?”“Yes, we are,” Jungkook replied, his heart pounding. “Is she okay?”The nurse hesitated, glancing between the two of them. “I’m afraid we have some concerning news regarding her condition. It would be best if you both came with me.”Jungkook felt his stomach drop. “What’s going on?” He exchanged a worried glance with Lisa, who looked equally apprehensive.As they followed the nurse down the hallway, a feeling of dread washed over them. They were led to a private consultation room, and Jungkook felt a knot forming in his stomach.“Please, take a seat,” the nurse said gently. “The doctor will be with you shortly.”They sat in silence, the weight of the situation heavy in the air. Lisa squeezed Jungkook’s hand, and he felt a surge of gratitude for her support.Moments later, the doctor entered, looking serious. “Thank you for coming. I’m Dr. Park. I have some difficult news about Naeun’s condition.”“What is it?” Jungkook asked, barely able to contain his anxiety.“We’ve run several tests, and it seems that Naeun has developed a severe infection that could potentially jeopardize her pregnancy. We need to act quickly to prevent any further complications,” Dr. Park explained.Jungkook’s heart sank. “What does that mean for her and the baby?”“We’re going to start her on an aggressive treatment plan, but we need to monitor her closely,” the doctor replied. “This is a critical time.”“Can I see her?” Jungkook asked urgently.“Yes, but please remember that she’ll need rest, and the situation is delicate,” the doctor said before leaving the room.
