Our Own Love Story

Chapter 11

Jungkook took his head in his hands as he sat down on a bench in the hospital. He started shaking his legs as he looked at the operation room that the doctors had taken Taehyung in. He looked to the other side, where they had taken his son.
He took a deep breath, and blinked as his red, sore eyes started stinging again.

"Here,"

He looked up when he saw a tea cup in front of his gaze, and saw Taehyung's doctor standing there with a smile.

"Thanks," Jungkook mumbled, and accepted the tea.

Smiling softly, the doctor sat down beside Jungkook. "Your son will be fine," He said after a while. "Since he's premature, we need to keep him here for a while. He may have infections though… Can you tell me what happened?"

Jungkook took a shaky breath, and then started telling what happened.

"Oh, no, we're not leaving each other here," Jungkook said, and left his son gently on the ground.

He grabbed Taehyung's discarded obi, and tied it around Taehyung's stomach tightly. Leaning over, he put his ear over Taehyung's heart, and heard the deep but steady beating of it. Taking a shaky breath, Jungkook pushed Taehyung's hair out of his face with a bloody hand, and kissed his sweaty forehead.
Quickly, Jungkook took his own obi and taking his son in his arms, he wrapped the infant with it, and tied him to his chest tightly.

He kissed his son's teary face to soothe him. "Don't worry, your mother will be fine…"

Leaning over, Jungkook took Taehyung into a sitting position, and then turning around, he took Taehyung onto his back.

They still had a day's walk, but Jungkook had to make it shorten, he didn't care how. Focusing his energy on his legs, Jungkook started running faster than he had ever done. He never stopped, he never loosened his grip on Taehyung. His son's cries, and Taehyung's soft breaths against his neck giving him the strength he needed.

He arrived at the hospital before the dawn.

"Somebody!" He shouted, shifting Taehyung to hold him tighter.
Immediately, a few nurses and a doctor run to his side, pushing a stretcher along.

"Take him first," Jungkook said, and turned around, letting the nurses lie Taehyung down on the stretcher.

"My son," Jungkook untied the obi around his chest. "He's born a few hours ago. Please take care of them," Jungkook said in a pleading voice.

"Worry not," The doctor nodded, he took Taehyung to the emergency room, while the nurses took the baby to the newborn section.
Jungkook stood in the middle of the brightly lid corridor for a while, and then walked to the emergency room, only to see Taehyung getting carried to the operation room.
He put a hand over his strangely beating heart, and slumped on a bench that stood against a wall.

The doctor patted Jungkook's shoulder. "You are a fine man... Don't worry, your family will be fine."

"Thanks, doctor," Jungkook said softly. He couldn't wait to take his family, and leave here with them by his side.

The doctor smiled softly. "Wanna see your son while you wait?"

Jungkook looked up immediately. "Can I?"

"Of course," The doctor smiled, and stood up, Jungkook following after him immediately.
