No one would know, but Jungkook cried as those large pieces of stone fell onto his body.

He screamed and clutched his hands tightly as tears ran down his face. Not just because the pain was unbearable, but because he thought about his family.

"Jimin, my love, I'm sorry. Prince, my dear son, forgive me." Jungkook sobbed as his nails drew blood from his palm.

He felt oxygen slowly leave him as his eyes rolled to the back of his head before everything went dark. One last breath left his mouth. That was when everyone found him.

He was cold, he was bloody, and he wasn't responding.

When Jennie touched him he felt like a corpse. All that went through her head was "What about Jimin? How would he and Prince cope? What were they going to do? Not even Jungkook was this young when his parents passed away."

After the paramedics took his lifeless body away the mafia went to Jungkook's home immediately to drop the news off to the waiting omega. The sounds of sobs were all that filled the house. Mounts of pheromones were released and it was overwhelming for the one pup in the house. The ride to the hospital was quiet but mournful.

Jimin held his son tightly, the pup having fallen asleep after crying enough tears to fill a milk jug.

Once the hospital came into view, Jimin clutched his son and pulled him closer to his chest before the car stopped and the door was opened. He stepped out, still holding his sleeping son. He walked in, the mafia behind him and a doctor approached him.

"You must be Park Jimin, Jungkook's omega." The doctor gave Jimin a somber smile.

"Is he alive?"

Everyone held their breath. Waiting for the doctor's response.

"His heart is beating and air is making its way through his lungs, but he's extremely unstable. We need you to sign these papers saying we have consent to begin surgery." She handed him a clipboard.

Liz took Prince from him. Rocking the babe when he mumbled and stirred.

He sat down and read over everything quickly before signing the papers. She bowed and rushed off. Liz sat next to his brother and rested his head on his shoulder, Jimin placing his head on top of his younger brother's.

"Do you want dad and papa here? I haven't called them yet." Liz whispers.

Jimin sighed as he tried to keep from crying.

"I would really love a hug from dad."

Liz nods before reaching in his pocket, avoiding waking his nephew. He called Halo's phone who picked immediately, which is why he called him.

Halo would let any other number ring but if he sees his sons or husband, he answers as fast as he can.

"Hi, baby. You okay?" His sweet voice rang as there was the slight sound of pans clinging against each other.

"Pa, can you and dad come to Petal Medical?"

"Huh? What? Why? Is something wrong with you? Your brother? Our grandson?!"

"No, pa. We're all... well not good but we aren't physically harmed. It's Jungkook."

"What about him?" Leo's voice boomed.

Liz sighed.

"Can I explain everything when you two get here?"

"Okay fine, we're on our way right now." Leo hummed.

Liz laid back down and Jimin returned his head to lay atop Liz's.

Everyone sat in silence as they awaited the results from the surgery. An hour in, Halo and Leo arrived.

Jimin immediately stood up and ran to Leo who hugged him and held him tightly. Jimin began sobbing.

"Daddy!" He sobbed as he clutched Leo's shirt whose face showed pure pain. He held his son tightly and rubbed Jimin's hair as he held his sobbing son.

Everyone's hearts tightened as they watched the sight. Halo was sitting next to his youngest son, cradling both him and the babe he was holding.

The seconds felt like minutes, the minutes hours, the hours an eternity. Considering by the time the clock hit the sixth hour, Jimin started to feel hopeless. Why was it taking so long? Shouldn't he be out by now? Everyone else was asleep except him.

After they realized they wouldn't hear news about whether Jungkook was alive or not for at least another two hours, they fell asleep. The crying took most of their energy. Jimin was sitting looking down at their son who, luckily, was still sleeping. But Jimin knew he'd wake up soon. He'd been asleep for far longer than he normally does unless it's time for bed.

And he was right. Prince began to stir and whine before opening his eyes.

"Where's daddy?" He whispered, his voice groggy.

"Where are we?"

Jimin took in a breath.

"We're at the hospital for your dad."

"Why? What's wrong?"

"He got hurt, Bear."

Prince sat up.

"What's wrong? Is he okay? Will Nini make it better like how you do when I get hurt?" His eyes got wider and Jimin felt like he could die, he looked exactly like Jungkook with that expression.

"He got hurt really badly so the doctors are trying to make him better. He's going to be perfectly fine."

Hopefully.

"I want to make him better but I can't, okay?" Jimin explains slowly.

Prince hums in acknowledgment.

Jimin brings his forehead to lay in his chest, rubbing his back as Prince plays with his necklace. They sat and waited.

They sat and waited for ten hours.

Jimin did eventually fall asleep during the midst of the ten hours. But it took him a while and it didn't last long. The doctor eventually approached them and sighed as she took off her gloves. She wore green scrubs and a green hair cap.

Jimin shot up, everyone following suit.

"So?" Jimin said enthusiastically.

"He's... alive. We did the best we could do but him surviving is up to him at this point. We can't do anything more. He's in a state of comatose, so whenever he wakes up is up to him." She whispered to him sadly.

Jimin covered his mouth as he fell down into a squat. Liz rushed to crouch next to him before whispering to him 'what's wrong?'.

"He's in room 504. You all may go in but only two can stay the night." She answers.

Everyone nodded to her before she left.

Slowly but surely even migrated to his hospital room. Jisoo opened the door and everyone that could see into the room gasped out before covering their mouths. This didn't make Jimin feel good at all.

They allowed him to go in and he stopped as soon as he walked in.

Jungkook laid there. An oxygen mask over his face and a tube in his mouth. The only sound was the peeping of the heart monitor. There were bandages around his arms and neck. Jimin assumed all over his body. There were bruises on his face and his body laid limp. Jimin's eyes drifted to the oxygen that was steady pumping. He had no idea if Jungkook was breathing on his own or if it was breathing for him. There was another tube, stuck into his hand.

His once tall-standing-smirk-wearing-shiny-eyed alpha, was clinging to his life in a hospital bed. He was so vulnerable, he'd never seen Jungkook like this before. All the tubes attached to his body made him breakdown. He held back his cries as he slowly approached his alpha. He softly touched his hand. He wasn't cold, but he wasn't warm. He rubbed his hand gently before slowly leaning forward, pecking Jungkook's forehead softly. Then he delicately kissed his closed eyes.

He rested his forehead against Jungkook's as he quietly cried.

Prince came into the room, walking past everyone as they parted a way for him like the red sea.

Prince looked up and was about to run and jump up onto Jungkook's chest but Taehyung ran and picked him up quickly. Prince struggled to get out of his grip as he whined.

"Bear, shh." Jimin said as he slowly pulled away from Jungkook, his hand gently grazing down his cheek.

Jimin walked around the bed and took Prince from Taehyung who was making grabby hands and was still trying to reach for Jungkook with a pout.

"Prince, honey, you can't be rough, okay? Daddy is sleeping and if you jump on him it will cause him a lot of pain."

"Tell him to wake up!" Prince pouts as he crosses his arms.

"He..." Jimin tried before stopping.

"He can't wake up. At least not right now. He'll be asleep for a while but we hope he'll wake up eventually." Jisoo answers as she walks over and looks down at Jungkook with eyes with unshed tears.

"He's a damn fool." Yoongi whispered.

"Why don't you listen to us?" Whee-in sighed.

"We should've gone in with him." Namjoon's voice cracked.

Everyone's quiet as Leo slowly approaches Jungkook. Jimin looked up as he sat down, holding his son. Leo held the railing of his hospital bed, he looked down at him. Watching as his chest slowly raised and fell, the only thing that shows the alpha is alive.

Foolish boy. You leave behind your omega and son, for a petty enemy who will rejoice in your death. Meanwhile, you leave behind those who will mourn your death yet rejoice in your life.

Leo gently brushed Jungkook's hair off his forehead as he looked down at him sadly.

"Papa." Jimin called, holding in his cries.

Halo walks over and sits down.

"Yes, baby?"

"How did you deal with it when dad was in the hospital?"

Halo sighed.

"I did cry a lot but I clung to the knowledge that he'd be okay."

"Didn't you doubt that he'd be okay?"

"Of course I did. But he's bounced back before so why wouldn't he then?"

Jimin goes quiet as he rests his head on Halo's shoulder before nodding.

Quietly agreeing with his father as he stared at Jungkook's rising chest then focused on his beeping machine as he closed his eyes.

He'd be fine.

He'd be okay.

He'd wake up.

Two months have gone by. It was April. Everyone began to lose hope as Jungkook wasn't waking up or looking any better. The group that was to sit and watch him went out to go eat, but they missed something incredible.

Jungkook blinked a few times before sitting up. He looked around the empty hospital room then looked at the beeping monitor.

"What happened—" He began before a shock of memory attacked him.

Jesibelle. Their talk.The shooting. The yelling. The explosion. The pain. The regret.

He remembers everything as he begins to look around even more, confused as to why neither his mafia nor his small family was in the room.

The tube was already out of his mouth so he took off the mask and IV. He flipped his legs over to the side of the bed and continued to walk to the door. He slid the door open and saw different doctors and nurses rushing by. He tried to get someone's attention but failed. So, he walked around the hospital until he thought he saw someone he knew.

Brown curly hair.

He recognized this person, but who was it?

He approached them and touched their left shoulder.

"Excuse me?"

They turned around and smiled at him. The whole world stopped and every single doctor and nurse disappeared into thin air.

There, in front of him, stood the woman that gave birth to him.

"M-mommy? But how? Wait. But you're— Does that mean I'm—?" His eyes shook as they watered.

Hera touched his cheek.

"You grew into a handsome man. Like we knew you would." She smiled as she rubbed his cheek.

He was much taller than her so she pulled his head down to kiss his forehead.

"Ah, the little brat is all grown up now." Another voice chuckled.

He looked up and saw a gorgeous woman. Her long straight black hair resting on her shoulders. She smiled as she held his cheek and rubbed his cheek with her thumb.

Tears welled up in his eyes, before they spilled down his cheeks.

"Mama." He sobbed.

"Oh no! My baby is crying!" Hera frowned with a small chuckle before wiping his eyes.

"I've missed you both so much." Jungkook's watered down voice struggles.

Hera hugged her baby and kissed his cheek repeatedly. Enyo rubbed his hair as he cried on Hera's shoulder.

"Son, my lovely baby boy, why are you crying?"

"I was so lost when you two left."

"Koo, you look perfectly found to me." Hera chuckles.

"Our grandson." Enyo smiles.

"Our son-in-law." Hera adds.

"You have your own little family, son. You've got someone special." Enyo rubs his back.

"Someone extremely special. And a beautiful baby boy. You have to be there for him." She adds as her raven hair falls from her shoulder.

"He's so young, baby." Hera smiles sadly.

"Mama, mommy, am I dead? Am I going to be with you forever?"

They both shake their heads.

"You still have so much to do. Still have a son to raise and an omega to love." Hera squishes his cheeks.

"Not to mention an empire to rule." Enyo smirks cheekyly which causes Hera to smack her arm.

Jungkook chuckles as he wipes his eyes.

"Do you think they're still waiting for me?"

"They'll wait until you flatline." Enyo answers with a shrug.

"Enyo!" Hera punches Enyo's shoulder which causes her to yelp.

Jungkook laughs.

"Can't I stay here for just a little longer?" Jungkook looks between his mothers.

Hera looks back at Enyo who sighs.

"You promise to go back?"

"Of course." Jungkook smiles.

"Then, let's catch up." Hera smiles with a clap of her hands.

"Let's start with your childhood bitch. Jesibelle." Enyo smiles as she cracks her fingers.

"Jimin, please." Yong-sun begs.

Jimin shakes his head as he tries to keep from crying, looking down at his alpha.

"It's not safe."

"So you want me to leave him here?!"

"We'll watch him!" Namjoon confirms as he steps beside Yong-sun.

"You're stressing yourself. You're going to make yourself sick. It's been six months since the accident and we have no idea where she is!" Yoongi stresses.

Jimin sighed as he looked out the window, orange and red leaves began to fall.

Jungkook hadn't moved once in the past six months he's been laying in that hospital bed. He lost a lot of weight. He wasn't completely a stick man yet, but if he stayed like that he would turn into one.

"Fine." Jimin exhales as he takes the bag from Yong-sun, taking Prince's hand before walking to the car.

The mafia, Jimin's family, and friends suggested he get away for a little bit. Liz, Taehyung, Mani, Chung-ha, Hye-jin, Seokjin and Rosé all said they'd go with him to get his mind off everything.

He finally agreed but not before whispering to Jungkook and kissing his forehead, cheeks, and eyes.

"I love you. I'm always here. Even if you wake up without me here, I'll be right by your side soon."

With that Jimin left. Worrying what was to come of his comatose boyfriend.
