Something cool touched his chest and spread a soothing sensation throughout his body. His muscles tried to absorb the sensation and relax, but his body was numb. What kept him afloat, however, was her melodious voice. Jungkook strained to catch the whisper in his ear, her scent, her touch, he wanted to touch her, hug her, tell her he loved her and wanted to marry her. But something prevented his eyes from opening, his lips from moving and the words from coming out.

"I'm here, my lady, I hear you and I'm sorry I can't answer you, I promise to make up for everything" he thought, trying to focus on her words. Mei-Lin carefully ran the wet towel over Jungkook's chest, it hurt her heart to see him like this. This was the man who had always been full of life and strength, always so energetic, in a hurry to get somewhere, so passionate in everything he did, and now he lay motionless, moaning in pain and powerless even to answer her. So she decided it was time to give him a reason to kick the drug.

"You have to fight, Jungkook" she put the towel aside and laid down next to him, using his arm as a pillow, then took his other arm and with a little effort managed to turn him to his side, placing his palm under hers on her stomach . "You have to fight, wake up and let me tell you that you are going to be a father, Jungkook" her eyes were swimming in tears like they had been for the past few days since she had returned. It didn't matter anymore that she felt betrayed, it didn't matter the fake wedding invitation, the only thing Mei-Lin knew was that she loved this man madly and that she would fight for him with all the strength she had.

"F-father?" his heart pounded and he tensed, but he couldn't open his eyes. "I hear you, baby, god, I hear you, my lady" he strained, he was so tired, but he had to find the strength. Father, his little star, the love of his life, his reason to fight, was pregnant. "I can't wait to tell you, Jungkook, it's still early and I can hardly see it, but I can feel it and it's wonderful" she continued, entwining her fingers with his.

"But it's okay, when you're ready, we'll be waiting for you, me and our baby" her voice broke and his chest was pierced by a sharp pain. She was crying because of him, it hurt her and he couldn't bear it, he couldn't accept that he was the reason for the tears in her beautiful eyes. "Don't cry my lady, you will make our baby sad" he wanted to tell her, he wanted to hug her as she hugged him, he wanted to kiss her tears away, but his body refused to obey.

"Mei-Lin, it's time for dinner" Jungkook felt a tightness in his throat, someone was trying to take her from him, to take her away. "I'm not hungry Yoongi" her voice was shaking but she didn't move. "Mei-Lin, you need to eat, Jungkook will kill us when he wakes up and finds out we failed to get his pregnant girlfriend to eat healthy" Mei-Lin sighed and her fingers left his hand, her warmth gone . "I'll be back in a bit, make sure you wake up by then,my love" because of that he was ready to let her go and she had called him "my love" that's cute, he should have asked her to call him that more often.

How long was she gone, minutes, hours? Mei-Lin was pregnant! She was carrying his child and he wasn't sure he could take such joy right now. "Come on Jungkook, put in some effort, you're going to be a father, fathers should be strong!" he tried to open his eyes again and his eyelashes twitched. "Because of Mei-Lin and the baby, come on you idiot, you've been through worse!" though he couldn't remember ever being in so much pain or so numb.

"Don't forget you have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, we have to make sure everything with the baby is okay" Jungkook tensed. It was Jin hyung's voice. "I won't go until Jungkook wakes up, he's the father, he should be with me" Mei-Lin sounded annoyed. "Mei-Lin, think logically, the doctor said he might not wake up soon, you can't keep putting off your examination!" now Jin sounded angry too, or rather instructive. "I don't care, except for the nausea, I'm fine, so is the baby, and I'm not leaving this apartment until Jungkook wakes up! And if you're so keen on someone going to the doctor, come and take advantage of my appointment!" his girl was definitely pissed off.

"Listen, little miss, these mood swings of yours are starting to annoy me and I advise you to save them for this jerk here! I said you're at the doctor's tomorrow and you're going to see to it!" Jungkook wanted to get up and hit him, how dare Jin talk to his lady like that. "Don't lecture me! I won't risk Jungkook's father catching me just to satisfy your curiosity" the bed next to him sank and her scent enveloped him. "My father? What does my father have to do with it?" Jungkook thought, feeling her body against his.

"We have enough security Mei-Lin, Namjoon and I will be with you, and some fresh air will do you good, you haven't been out in two weeks!" now Jin only got a growl in response. "Jungkook?" Jin and Mei-Lin looked at each other. "Jungkook, can you hear me?" Mei-Lin's worried voice irritated him. Had he growled? "Come on baby, do it again!" the bed sank again, this time on the other side. "Come on champion, open your eyes" this time the worry in Jin's voice was cause for a growl.

"Jin?" Mei-Lin looked at him, her eyes shining with hope. "I'll call the doctor, keep talking to him, give him a reason to wake up!" Jin jumped off the bed and ran to find his phone, and Mei-Lin sat on her feet and leaned over Jungkook, hands on either side of his face. "Jeon Jungkook, if you don't open your eyes, I will marry Taehyung and he will be the father of our child, he already asked me out!" Mei-Lin was talking nonsense, but Jungkook's strongest feelings had always been his possessiveness and jealousy, and she counted on the fact that if he heard her, he'd be angry enough to open his eyes, kind of like a kick in the ass. .

His chest heaved with another growl. "That's it, baby, you wouldn't let another man touch me, would you? Especially a number collector like Taehyung?" he felt her lips on his. "Wake up,Jungkook,please" something ran down my face and his eyelids twitched. "God, Jungkook, can you hear me! I love you, can you hear me, just open your eyes!" she sat on his lap and cupped his face, showering him with kisses. "For me, Jungkook, for us, please!" he tensed again.

"My lady?" his voice sounded dry and hoarse, as if from afar. "God, Jungkook!" he slowly opened his eyes and blinked. "Hey little star" his tongue seemed to be ten times bigger and his throat itched, but to see that smile, Jungkook was ready for anything. His gaze went down, Mei-Lin was wearing his t-shirt, he tensed and raised his hand, placing it on her stomach, she followed his movement and sobbed. "Did you hear me?" her words were more of a statement than a question. "Hi little baby, I'm your daddy" he whispered, looking up into her watery eyes.
