Jeongguk's leg followed a steady rhythm as he bounced it, waiting for news from a doctor or nurse on whether or not Miniko had lost the baby. Out of panic, he called Yoongi and told him that Emmeryn hit Miniko in the stomach. At first Yoongi didn't understand what Jeongguk was talking about but when Jeongguk explained it to Yoongi, he said okay before hanging up.

'How could Emmeryn just punch Miniko in the stomach? I get that it's weird that she found me kissing her stomach, but it couldn't of looked that bad? Miniko is like a sister to me, I would never have...do anything like that with her. Plus I value her relationship with Yoongi hyung too much to ever to anything like that. I wish Emmeryn would just get it through her thick head that I'm actually a good guy. She was my second girlfriend and I showed her my car fax.' Jeongguk giggled at the joke he made to himself that he got from the youtuber Swoozie.

Seokjin came rushing into the waiting room, still wearing his lab coat with green scrubs. "What happened to Miniko?" He asked, eyes widened in surprise. "I got paged to help out a doctor who needed cardio when I saw Miniko in the next room with a few doctors around her. I finished up and came to see if anyone was here in the waiting room, what happened?!"

Jeongguk's face grew stony as he thought back to what Emmeryn had done. He motioned to his hyung to sit down next to him as he told of what had happened. "So I was trying to make Miniko happy, because of what happened between Yoongi and her. I was nuzzling and kissing her stomach which made her giggle because she's ticklish and because she things it's adorable how silly I am. Emmeryn came in and saw us and almost immediately punched Miniko. She hit her stomach really hard and landed a few more punches before I stopped her and took Miniko to the hospital."

Seokjin's eyes widened even more, surprised by Emmeryn's alarming actions. "When I first met Emmeryn I thought she was the sweetest girl and I thought you're arguments were just a couple thing. But...they were that bad? Do you think...that...Emmeryn may've been abusive or has some kind of psychological problem? Not to be blunt, Jeongguk, but acting out like that warrants an evaluation at least."

Jeongguk ran a hand through his hair, sighing softly. "I mean, yeah our arguments were really bad. Our relationship started off so perfectly and I fell in love with her so quickly. I thought it was normal how we began arguing so much, I've only ever been in one relationship. But hyung, she would hate it when I'd go practice with Namjoon and Jimin hyung because we'd always stay up late practicing. She always thought I was cheating on her but it never really seemed like she was being abusive because we'd go back to being okay for awhile."

Seokjin sighed loudly and sat back in his chair, processing all of this information. Though as he was about to speak Yoongi ran into the waiting room, holding a tired looking SJ. Yoongi placed SJ in Seokjin's lap before running up to the nurses desk and asking if Miniko was okay. Seokjin gently placed SJ on Jeongguk's lap before walking off. SJ snuggled deeply into Jeongguk's chest, obviously having his nap time interrupted by coming to the hospital.

Yoongi came back and sat next to Jeongguk, looking absolutely exhausted. Dark bags hung under his eyes and his hair was a mess. He looked as though he were about to pass out any moment and looked more green than white. His hands were shaking as he sat in the chair, taking deep breathes to calm himself down.
