New Horizons

part 42

Taehyung screams panicking when he gets no reply from his husband even after a couple of minutes. The man has his eyes closed completely and his breathing is uneven.

"MOTHER! MOTHER!" taehyung yells loudly while running outside. His mother in law rushes upstairs thinking maybe taehyung fell down.

"What happened? Are you okay?" she asks seeing taehyung crying.

"Jungkook Isn't waking up. He slept just a few moments ago but now I'm calling him but he Isn't responding. He wasn’t feeling okay too."

"What are you saying!" she panicks and runs inside Taehyung and jungkook's bedroom.

"Jungkook?" she shakes her son. "JUNGKOOK GET UP. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? JUNGKOOK?" She panicks when jungkook doesn’t reply.

She yells calling the maids. Soon the driver comes and they prepare for taking the man to the hospital. They can say jungkook is senseless. Taehyung splashes water on him but there is still no sign of him wake up.

Soon they admit him to the hospital. Taehyung keeps crying in fear sitting outside the cabin. What if something bad happens to him? He can't even imagine something bad happening to his husband when he is pregnant. He Looks at his right side. His mother in law is crying sitting beside him. What should he do? Trying to console her when he is in the same situation?

"Mother, Let's not break down like this." taehyung says nervously.

"I always had a bad feeling that he wasn’t okay. He would always seem tired and talk less. I haven’t seen him smiling too. One day he even came to me and said he wasn’t feeling good. Now this happened." jungkook's mother says while wiping her tears.

"He wasn’t looking okay too when he came back. He was sweating and his face Was red. He told me he wanted to rest and lied down. Then in a blink he passed out." taehyung says.

She doesn’t reply to taehyung. Taehyung also stays silent while praying for jungkook in mind. He can't understand what caused this situation. Was he getting pressured in the office too much?

2 hours passed like this. A nurse comes to them and asks them to visit the doctor in his own cabin. Both taehyung and his mother in law follow the nurse to the doctor's room.

"Please sit down." the doctor says and both of them take places in front of the desk.

"What's wrong with him doctor?" taehyung asks.

"Are you his wife?" doctor asks.

"Yes."

"Well, your husband had a heart attack. He Was in tension for some reason that his blood pressure rose too high which could lead to brain stroke too."

Both taehyung and his mother in law look at each other.

"How is he doctor?" jungkook's mother asks.

"Now he is okay. Sleeping. We Had to give him iv medication to control his blood pressure. He is lucky that he didn’t have stroke. Also it Didn't happen suddenly. I assume He Was stressed for a long time which led to this situation. For now Don't worry. Let him rest."

After coming out From the doctor's cabin taehyung was in distress. Was jungkook in stress because of the problem about the pregnancy and his children? But the man looked absolutely okay to him.

"Mother, do seo and minho know about his situation? Did you call them?" taehyung asks.

She shakes Her head as no.

"But they should come here to see their father. Jungkook is sick. They need to know it."

Jungkook's mother looks at taehyung. "Listen taehyung, seojin and minho left jungkook. It's almost like they cut ties with him."

Taehyung stares at her confusedly. "What are you Saying mother? Why would they do something like this? Jungkook never mentioned anything like this to me."

"Taehyung, you should have understood by now. This is the reason jungkook has been always in tension. Let me clear it. Jungkook decided to have the baby. And seo minho left him and now leaving with their mothet permanently. They Don't talk with jungkook or Don't meet with him too. Jungkook tried talking with them but they refused saying jungkook should Only worry about you and the children and forget about them. Lots of things happened and you Don't know anything." she says.

Taehyung can't believe his ears. All the things are happening behind his back but jungkook told him nothing. But now his mother in law tells him everything from the start. Hearing everything taehyung understands It's really not unusual for jungkook to Have a heart attack.

Tears threatens to fall from his eyes. He is feeling guilty that jungkook is facing this because of him only. His happy life with his children got ruined because of him. Still the man tried to make him happy and took all responsibilities properly. But taehyung failed to notice that his husband wasn’t okay.

"Mother please call them. They need to see their father right? Jungkook also wants to see them. He will be really happy if they come here." taehyung says. Now he understands why jungkook wanted to go to see them earlier. But taehyung stopped him.

Jungkook's mother dials minho's number. After 3-4 rings the call gets picked up.

"Hi grandma. How are you?"
Taehyung hears minho's voice through loud speaker.

"I'm good. How are you? And seojin?" she speaks.

"Yeah she is good too." minho answers shortly.

"I was saying that.. Umm... You know your father Isn't okay? He is admitted to the hospital."

"What happened to him? Is he okay now?" minho asks. Taehyung really doesn’t get any emotion in his voice. He notices minho still hasn’t said 'dad' to jungkook.

"He was stressed for a long time. Today he had heart attack."

"Isn't he living with his wife? Why would he be stressed then?"

Taehyung feels uneasy. They thought jungkook didn’t need them anymore because he had taehyung and their unborn child? This is ridiculous. Don’t they have slight braincells inside their heads?

"You two left him as if he was any trash. And you expect him to be okay? You two pretend like he doesn’t love you two anymore because he is having another child. You know what minho, my son really failed to raise you two. You Don't even have slight sympathy toward him. When you will be a father then you will understand how a father loves his children unconditionally. Seojin and you made my child's life hell in a few days. He keeps crying thinking about you two, he always goes there and begs you two holding your legs. He doesn’t get any slight respect from you two. Jungkook really failed you two. He is admitted in hopital because of you two and look at you - still holding onto your ego and stubbornness." jungkook's mother says angrily and hangs up the call.

Then she breaks down in crying. The ignorance in minho's voice even after listening that jungkook Isn't okay is making her angry and frustrated. What kind of children are they?

Taehyung stares at the floor. Tears are rolling down from his eyes silently and fall on the floor. He is having a strong urge to slap minho and drag him near jungkook's feet. What kind of children are they who Don't melt even when their father begged them holding their legs? Can't they have any respect for their own father? Can't they understand how much jungkook loves them? Are they stupid or blind? And here his husband is dying worrying about his children. Jungkook is too good to be father of the two spoiled brats.
