Chapter 106: At what cost?
“J-JIMIN! IT'S ALL MY FAULT!” Joo-Ho cried as he finally pushed himself forward; in which, it was a challenge to do so since his legs were still numb. “Jimin!” Joo-Ho worried as Jimin remained cupping the wound on the side of his chest with his uninjured arm. He wasn't expecting Kyunsji to hurt him, but as a man with dissociative identity disorder, he was able to switch his thoughts so easily. Just like the point where he pointed the nozzle of the loaded gun to Minho's chest.
“N-No… No time to panic… C-Call the police!”
“I'll call them along the way, you need help quick! Let's get to the car, now!”
“A-Ambulance….” whispered the wounded omega, but Joo-Ho knew Jimin wouldn't stay conscious for that long. The bodyguard knew he had to move now! Or else, the omega would be hurting his own pups, and turns out, he already was. “I'm s-strong enough to wait…” Jimin began to weep silently with the blood still staining the bed sheets. Just then, Joo-Ho quickly grabbed a nearby towel and wrapped it around the arm of the omega and another towel hugging along his wound on the side of his chest. This was a way so the blood wouldn't rush out quicker, but there was a possibility Jimin was going to lose conscious soon.
After a while, Joo-ho finally made it to the hospital where Jimin fainted along the car ride, Minho was still unconscious and it was up to the alpha to take the two into the building. Before he arrived there, he was sure to call the police and send them to the Jeon's house to get Kyunsji before he could get up and make his escape like always. But, Joo-Ho wouldn't be surprised if the mental alpha made it out easily once again. Through the alpha's mind, he knew Jimin shouldn't have risked his life and the life of his pups right there, but he had no other choice. He had no idea what Kyunsji could pull off with his twisted mind. If anything, he would have taken the two and killed Joo-Ho as they walked out of the big house. Let alone, kill Jungkook if he was to step in at any second.
As Joo-Ho waited for any news on Jimin, he made sure to contact Jungkook as soon as possible and was waiting for the alpha by the waiting room since he wasn't allowed in. But very soon, Jungkook rushed to the hospital and ran in with his heart almost jumping out of his chest. He dashed down the hall and reached the waiting room where he only exchanged stares with Joo-Ho for a solid second before racing to the front desk to get assistance and find where his husband and pup was placed. Luckily, Minho was set in the same room, but in the bed right next to the omega. Of course, Joo-Ho told the nurses to set them together like this just so Minho wouldn't be afraid in a room all alone once he gains conscious once again.
What no one told Jungkook was the fact that Kyunsji injected Minho and Joo-Ho with the tranquilizer. It was a tough one too, the bodyguard was able to fight against it, but Minho was just a little pup that fell victim to it at the very end. A whole three minutes after Jimin's wounds were treated, Jungkook was finally given the room number and he wasted no other second to rush down the rooms and into the right one. Once he opened the doors to the room, he laid his eyes on Jimin just gazing up in silence with a breathing mask over his mouth and nose while wires hooked him up to a heart monitor. Bandages were wrapped over Jimin's arm and leading to his chest while his belly bump was still there, yet he carried a dull and depressing look. Only a curtain separated him from Minho; so he didn't see where his pup was. In his mind, Minho was up and about. Not lying next to him beyond those curtains.
“Jimin… Minho…” Jungkook whispered and he had to walk over to Jimin first since Minho was still unconscious with a mask over his nose and mouth just like Jimin. “J-Jimin! Baby are you okay? I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry!” Jungkook panicked and made his way to his omega to hold his free hand and kiss it gently once his hands were locked with his. “Baby… S-Speak to me please…. Tell me what happened…”
“Kyunsji…h-he was there..” Jimin whispered and finally looked at Jungkook with a tear rolling down his eyes. “Why… Did you leave me…?”
“Babe… I-I didn't think-”
“You're not supposed to leave me! I had to see that maniac hold a gun to my chest if I attempted to escape him… But I had to fight him off and almost risked losing our pups… T-They're okay… But I can't imagine losing them! I almost lost Minho! That monster held the nozzle to his chest and held him in his arms like he made him!” Jimin bawled in tears as his heart rate went up again and the beeping on the monitor increased, but this made Jungkook swiftly lean in to hug his omega and caress the back of his head with his hand softly to hold Jimin in his arms. “J-Jungkookie… W-Where's my Minho…?”
“Shh…. He's…” Jungkook then grew silent for a second and looked at the curtains and kept the long hug with Jimin. “Getting better….”
“M-My Minho is here…” Jimin cried to himself and eyed the file just resting by the entry door. It was two separate file holders and one had Jeon Minho's name while the other one pointing to Jimin's side of the room, had the omega's name on it there. “D-Don't lie to me… Is he okay?” Jimin kept crying as Jungkook still focused on calming his omega down into the gentle hug. “A-Answer me… Answer me… don't lie...”
“Minho is still unconscious…” Jungkook whispered as the omega sputtered in his tears and with that alone, Jungkook found it hard not to hold back any tears. “Shh… He's okay.. You're okay…” Jungkook assured and with that, he felt a soft kick from Jimin's belly bump, and then another from a different side. This made the alpha scoff his tears into a smile as he looked down to gaze over the omega's hospital gown over the belly bump. “They're okay too!” Jungkook assured as Jimin looked down and then, his rapid heart rate dropped by the feeling of his pups kicking in different directions. This made Jimin lead Jungkook's hands over the bump and feel more of the kicks. “See…?”
“Y-Yes… T-They're kicking… Why is it everytime we go through a life or death situation… The pups always want to kick?” Jimin whispered as Jungkook sat on the side of the bed to smile and move his hand under the gown to feel the bare bump softly in his own hands. By there, he felt another kick.
“Because they want to protect their daddy...” Jungkook responded and sniffled after to cheer up. “E-Even Minho did it when you saved me from drowing… He wanted to protect us both.” Jungkook laughed as he finally got a giggle out of the omega. “Baby… I'm sorry… About what I did. I should have listened. Ah, this is just like before, when you didn't listen to me and caused Kyunsji to break in the first time I almost lost my life…” Jungkook whispered as Jimin locked glistening eyes with his alpha's. “But we turned out alright… did we?”
“I-I tasered him…he was left on the floor of our bedroom and I don't know if he was caught! With all the things he’s done to us, death is a fitting punishment for him…” Jimin whispered. Then, Jungkook only leaned in and removed the mask for a second and gave his omega a kiss on the lips before his phone chimed and interrupted their soft kiss. “Jungkook… Pull the curtains for Minho apart. I want to see him..” Jimin requested once again, placing his mask back on to breathe through it.
“Babe, you'll get emotional again… Then your heart rate-”
“If I'm strong enough to tase that fucker off… I'm strong enough to see my own son and keep an eye after him…” Jimin insisted and Jungkook knew he shouldn't make the omega upset again. Right there his phone chimed again and Jungkook chose to ignore it as he walked up to the curtains separating the two beds and drew it apart to show Minho on the other bed, laying with his eyes closed and wires holding him back like some puppet. The view to Jimin was heartbreaking and he alone didn't want to see this side of his pup. Sadly, there was no other way to view it and think he'll be okay. Jungkook grew silent and watched Jimin sit there with his thoughts rolling in and out of his mind consistently at the view of his pup and he tried not to get angry.
“He's only four…” Whispered Jimin. “Just turned four and he's knocked into a hospital bed with wires attached to him like he's some child caught up in a spider web… at what cost? That monster is still out there.” Jimin concluded and Jungkook's phone chimed again. By there, Jungkook growled and gawked at the lock screen he had of him and Jimin kissing to see that there was a message sent to him from an unknown number. The alpha unlocked his phone and read the messages in his head to see that it was Kyunsji again. Baiting him for a final battle once more.
Jungkook kept his stare at the screen for a while and looked up at Jimin to see that the omega was miserable from it all. He wanted a life where he could walk around freely and not grow scared of every little thing against him. Kyunsji almost claimed him that afternoon, Jimin just closed his eyes shut and tried to remain calm when he revisited those thoughts. “Oh Jungkook… Please stay here…” Jimin begged and the alpha looked down on the phone and back at Jimin. “Jungkook..? Please… Don't go… I don't want you to get hurt… Please!” Jimin said close to crying again as the omega sat up.
“J-Jimin lay down.. Okay? I won't go anywhere… I promise.” Jungkook lied. Of course he was going over to where Kyunsji was. He was more than ready to make the alpha pay for the trouble he inflicted after all these years. To Jungkook, watching the ones he loved lay on hospital beds came as a warning that their next bed would be caskets. Jungkook wasn't going to let this man get arrested, he wanted it all to end and to him, he would do it as defense because Kyunsji striked too many times and Jungkook dodged it all. It was in the alpha's nature to stand his ground for his family and this was it. This was the end. This was the curtain call and Jungkook was more than ready to run over to the movie set ‘Rujiko' was directed in to face this man for the finale.
The alpha sat next to Jimin and waited for the omega to rest. It was about ten minutes after, Jimin fell into slumber and Jungkook was there to hold his omega's free hand with his, he leaned in and gave his husband's knuckles a kiss and then moved up to kiss his soft, pink, and plump lips one last time. Savoring a long kiss that caused a smile to plaster over the omega’s face once Jungkook took the mask off of him for a quick second and placed it over him once again. Not really causing the older too much struggle to breathe since Jimin was doing it on his own perfectly. Jungkook then walked over to his younger alpha's bed and gave him a kiss on the forehead. Pacing back after and taking a good look at them both before running out for the final performance of the night. Determination filled them both, but at the final curtain call, who will win it all?
