Taehyung, still in shock but glowing with happiness, looked like he was on top of the world. The words from Mr. Choi echoed in his ears as he stood there, trying to make sense of it all.
Ria is pregnant. The weight of those words still felt surreal.
But the joy in his chest outweighed everything. He could already picture their future, the little moments that would make up the big ones, the life they would build together.
"When can I see Ria and Anya, Mr. Choi?" Taehyung asked, his voice tinged with concern."You can see Ria," Mr. Choi said softly, his expression kind.
"She's just been shifted to room 1001. She needs to regain her consciousness, though. As for Anya, she's in room 1002. She needs a bit of rest, so you can visit her later."
As the words left Mr. Choi's mouth, both Jungkook and Jimin sprinted towards the rooms, Mrs. Choi's voice calling out to them to be careful.
Taehyung, still feeling the weight of the moment, followed behind, his footsteps slow, his heart heavy with the desire to be with Ria.
He reached the door to her room and paused, gathering himself before entering.
Inside, Ria lay on the hospital bed, sleeping peacefully, her breath steady, her face serene despite the turmoil she had been through.
Jungkook stood at her side, looking down at her with a mixture of relief and anguish. His hand hovered near hers, trembling slightly as he spoke, his voice barely above a whisper.
"Ria, you scared me," Jungkook said, his words thick with emotion.
"After everything that happened, I'm scared to lose you. What would I do if you're not with me? I wouldn't be alive without you. You're my only family, and I can't even tell you what we are to each other. Do you know how hard that is? I've been carrying this weight, and now it's even heavier, knowing what could've happened. But..." His voice faltered for a moment, and Jimin, standing quietly beside him, placed a hand on his shoulder in silent support.
Jungkook inhaled deeply, fighting to hold back the tears that threatened to spill. "But you know what? I'm happy. We're going to see Mom and Dad. You're pregnant, Ria."
Jimin, with a gentle smile, squeezed Ria's hand softly. "Ria, open your eyes quickly," he whispered, his voice full of warmth. "Your best friend is waiting for you."
Jimin stayed by her side, holding her hand as if willing her to wake, to come back to them. But as he was about to say more, the door to the room creaked open, and Taehyung stepped inside.
His eyes locked with theirs, and in that instant, everything seemed to pause. Jungkook and Jimin looked up at him.
Taehyung didn't say anything at first.
He simply walked to the other side of the bed, sitting down beside Ria, taking her hand in his.
The room seemed to quiet, the air thick with the weight of everything that had happened, everything that was still to come.
Taehyung's voice broke the silence, soft but full of emotion.
"Mrs. Kim..," Taehyung whispered, his voice almost a caress as he spoke to the still form on the bed. "We're going to be parents. We are going to start our beautiful family."
