I Need You (Kim Taehyung)

38

Hoseok ran. Sped through the roads and what would've been about 2 hours of driving only took an hour and 15 minutes. He had called the paramedics ahead of time and had received a call as they transported his sister to a hospital. They found her near death with purple lips and every limb in her body cold. She couldn't breathe correctly and due to her weak lung, it had collapsed. TaeLyn was immediately sent into surgery to insert a tube and remove the excess air. By the time Hobi had arrived at the hospital, they had begun to attempt to insert a tube in her lung. He sat waiting nervously, waiting for someone to call him back after he had dialed everyone he knew. Even his parents. The first one to return the call was Yoongi, as he stepped out of the tension filled room when he noticed Hoseok had called. "Hey, sorry about the late-"

"Where the hell is everyone?" Hobi spat with anger although his lungs shook from how scared he was. "I've been calling and calling and no one-" his voice croaked, and Hoseok choked on a sob, moving the phone from his hear to let out a sob. Yoongi heard the muffled sob and his face went from emotionless to concerned. Something began to tug at his heart and it wasn't a good feeling. "Hoseok, what's wrong?" the man on the phone sighed shakily.

"Taelyn's in the Hospital," Yoongi turned as he felt the large hand of Kim Taehyung on his shoulder. Taehyung had seen him stand up and got a bad feeling. The room wasn't quiet as Yoongi spoke. Everyone had settled down as Taehyung stood up and listened intently. Yoongi put the phone on speaker as his eyes moistened.

"Her lung collapsed and she's in surgery right now. They say she may have something else too, considering how cold she was. It's been an hour since I got here and two hours since she was brought in and they haven't said anything." The whole room was quiet and taehyung's voice shook. "My parents aren't answering and-"

"Which hospital?" Taehyung cut him off, his hand shaking as it still held onto Yoongi. "Hyung, which hospital?" Taehyung pleaded. "Hoseok sighed as he heard his voice."

"Seoul National University Hospital."

Taehyung had ran off, running to the hospital. His feet couldn't keep up anymore, but he couldn't stop. He was the first to arrive at the hospital, following with Yoongi and Jimin.

"And my parents?"

"We called Taehyung's grandmother to get a hold of them cause they wouldn't answer." Taehyung remained quiet, not saying a word. All that went through his mind was TaeLyn and how much he'd hope she'd be alright. Jimin called his name but he didn't answer, he just stared straight ahead. "Did they say anything else?" Yoongi's strained deep voice asked. "She called me from the cemetery where their parents are buried. When they found her, she was cold, her lips were purple and pale. She wasn't breathing at all and-" a long beep cut them off.

The sound of a heart monitor flatlining silenced the chatter and the thoughts running through everyone's mind.

Jungkook stepped out of the room, pulling out his vibrating phone to silence it and closing the door slowly as his son slept soundly. Son. Namjoon and Seokjin sat in the living room, silently conversing with each other and trying to find an explanation to the child in Jungkook's room. "His son? I don't understand how-"

"Jin, relax. Jungkook isn't stupid. He knows what he did, and he must have an explanation. Stop coming to conclusions and relax before you start shaking." Seokjin sighs and rest his head in his palms. Jungkook walks into the living room before his dads can start another conversation. "What more of an explanation do you want? He's my son, end of story." Seokjin's top blew. "No, it is not end of story." He stood up furiously. His neck was red along with his face and ears from all the frustration and confusion in him. "Who is his mother? Where did you get him? How on earth can you make a baby when you're not even 18 yet and why did you not tell us?" Two phones vibrated in the kitchen near the utensils and ingredients needed to make the already forgotten dinner.

"I don't want to talk about it right now." He still couldn't believe it. Jungkook's mind hadn't wrapped around the fact that he has a son and has had one for almost 2 years. Not when he walked home with YooJung, when he sang him to sleep or as he stood there with his parents. Seokjin took a deep breath and walked over to Gguk. Jin wrapped his arms around Jungkook's shoulders and rubbed his back. "Just tell me the truth. And take your time." Jungkook's head moved up and down, tears rolling down his cheeks.

They were surprised but not really. SeokJin, alike many people, did not like Ah Ro. And to hear the truth about their involvement and how YooJung came to be in this world and other harsh truths he discovered, broke his heart. Their son deceived and betrayed by his first love, a fake friend to their daughter and taken advantage of for caring. Jungkook sobbed out how scared he was, the hurt evident in his voice. He began to apologize for putting his sister down when Ah Ro had done far worse to him.

"I shouldn't have yelled at her the way did. I shouldn't've-"

"Where is your sister?" Namjoon asked. Gguk looked at his parents. "She's not home? I haven't seen her-"

"Let me call her-"

Knock, Knock.

"Get the door, I'll call her."

Seokjin stood up to grab his phone from the kitchen that began to vibrate as he neared.

Seoul National University Hospital

Namjoon opened the door and found Taehyung's grandmother in her robe and orthopedic shoes, a scarf around her head and her flowered skirt lightly trebling with the soft wind.

"Dr. Kim, your daughter is in surgery."

"할머니, what are you doing here this time of night?" She waddles in quickly, causing Namjoon to furrow his eyebrows. "Kids have been calling cause the phones aren't being answered. TaeLyn-ah is in the hospital; an emergency."

"What?!" Jin shouted from the kitchen. Jungkook pulled out his phone and looked at the screen as he became weary. Before Taehyung's grandmother could spill the news and Seokjin screamed at his fellow co-worker, Jungkook bolted to get his sleeping son from the room. By the time his parents recovered and Namjoon began to help Taehyung's grandmother into the vehicle while Jin woke up KangJoon, Jungkook was starting the truck and putting his son in the backseat, sitting beside him.
