THE SEVENTH || (Taekook/Vkook) ||

Chapter 4: Tabula Rasa

Two hours passed of me just sitting there.

Fortunately I wasn't completely alone because during that hour Manager hyung had arrived. But he was beyond busy having to make several phone calls and settle things concerning our promotions and tour. He didn't want to disturb me or any other patients with his phone calls so he moved to the hospital café about an hour ago.

I was itching to hear about Jungkook, how he was doing, if he was in pain, if he was out of surgery or even why he had to go into surgery. None of the nurses had answered any of my questions, saying they didn't have enough information and that it had to be Jungkook's doctor who would explain it all to me.

In the midst of thinking about Jungkook's condition, I realised that no one had informed his parents of their son being hospitalized. I believed that Manager hyung would do it, but he was so busy handling other things that I figured he had forgotten. Actually I was sure he had forgotten, because I would have known if they had called. Jungkook's mother would have called me right away if she knew. So, I took my phone out of my pocket and dialed her number.

"Taehyungie!" Her sweet voice answered

"Annyeonghaseyo, Mrs.Jeon," I breathed into the phone

"Is everything alright sweetheart? Shouldn't you be catching your flight right now to the US? Taehyungie, Jungkook told me about what he did to you and I am so sorr-,"

"Mrs.Jeon, Jungkook is in surgery right now. He lost control of his breathing and had chest pains on the plane. I'm in the waiting room, please come here. I need you here." I shut my eyes closed and let a fresh set of tears cascade down my face.

"Oh lord, Taehyungie! I'm on my way" I could tell that she was crying as well"Hang in there sweetheart, I'll be with you in a few minutes" and then she hung up.

Mrs.Jeon had always been like a second mother to me. She was there whenever I needed my own mother, but couldn't see her due to her living in Daegu and constantly having to work. My mother had always been my best friend and ever since I moved to Seoul I had a hard time adjusting to life without her much wanted presence. That was when Jungkook's mom stepped in. Even before Jungkook and I started dating she was always there for me when I needed a mother figure. Mr and Mrs Jeon moved to Seoul a few years ago to be close to their son, since then she listened to my worries and sometimes I even told her things I couldn't tell Jungkook. Mrs.Jeon loved and respected me as if I was a child of her own. When my loving mother couldn't be there, she was. And right now we both needed to be there for eachother.

About fifteen minutes later I saw Mrs.Jeon jogging down the hall towards me and almost crushed me in a tight hug. She was sobbing on my shoulder.

"Why did this happen to him Taehyung?" She asked me with red rimmed eyes.

I was about to answer when a doctor called out Jungkook's name.

"Family of Jeon Jungkook?"

Mrs.Jeon and I both stood up. "How is my son doctor? Please tell me he's okay" she cried out and walked up to him.

"Don't worry miss, he's alright. I came to tell you that he just came out of surgery and that everything went successfully. We had to open up his airways to even out his breathing, with that the chest pains that he felt also subsided. The cause of this abnormal reaction was a combination of sudden shock and an intense panic attack. That could have easily lead him into cardiac arrest if you hadn't called us as quickly as you did." The doctor told us. "Did he experience any kind of trauma which could have caused any of this?"
