32. Hospital Beds and Boring Wallpaper

Jungkook's POV:

"Taehyung had a miscarriage." I couldn't get those four words out of my head and each time it repeated the pain in my chest worsened. The air in the small hospital room got colder and colder as more tears rolled down my cheeks. I tightly wrapped my arms around Taehyung and Dae. I had never thought about losing anyone until now and now I was terrified it would happen again. I mean what would happen if I lost Tae and Dae- no, I shouldn't think like that. That's just going to make everything worse.

I was about to stop Daehyun from attempting to eat his Tata plush but I was too tired to care and soon I fell into a deep sleep along with Taehyung.

Random POV

Seokjin grabbed Dae from the small bed and allowed the two teenagers to cuddle into one another. As soon as Tae was situated in a room, Jungkook called both his and Tae's parents so they didn't have to suffer more trying to tell them over the phone.

"They're so cute together," Jin commented, trying to get comfortable on an empty chair in the corner of the room.

"They really are," Hoseok replied.

"I feel really horrible. It's probably my fault that they're even here. I told them that it wasn't a good idea to have another baby and i'm sure Tae was already stressing about it and I mean, look what happened. I made it worse."

"Don't blame yourself. It could've been a lot of things. And you were just looking out for them like any good parent would. I mean I was worried about them too. Gguk tends to jump into things before he's even sure it's what he wants. I do think he's been thinking a lot more but I still worry," Jin nodded, staring at the room's patterned wallpaper. He found it to be quite ugly yet he couldn't pull his gaze away. He studied how each shape branched off, creating a new one, and how no shade of brown matched the one next to it. The more he stared, the more annoyed he seemed to get.

Why is it so... bland? I mean can't they use another color that's not brown. Any color would make me feel better- would make this better.

"Hoseok, if you want we can take Dae back home with us and leave these two alone or you're welcome to take him if you want," Namjoon said, snapping Seokjin out of his thoughts. "I just figured they'd need some time to... recover from this. It might be best for them to let us watch Daehyun for a day or two."

"You guys could take him if you don't mind. I actually have a date tomorrow."

"Ooh, who's the lucky person?" Namjoon questioned, wiggling his eyebrows slightly.

"Her name is Sachiko. I met her on an online dating service and she seems really nice."

"Where is she from?"

"She's from Japan and she moved here only a few years ago."

"Well good luck!"

Jungkook woke up feeling like shit. His eyes stung from crying and it didn't help that he hadn't eaten in hours.

"K-Kookie?" Taehyung whispered, carefully trying to sit up. "Yeah?"

"Where's Dae..?" Jungkook looked around the room noticing they were alone. He reached for his phone and unlocked it, opening his Kakaotalk.

"Your parents took him home with them," Jungkook shut off his phone and cuddled closer to Taehyung.

"Is it even worth it to try again?" Tae questioned.

"Why don't we just wait for a little while and then see how we feel. I don't want to rush back into it after this. I think we need time to rethink our decision and grieve."

"Do you still want another baby?"

"Yeah, I really do. Do you?"

"Yeah," The two sat in silence for a while before trying to get their minds off of the baby.

They really had a lot to think about.
