Hoseok walked into his home to hear his baby crying. Maybe taking in a teenager fresh out of high school wasn't the best choice. His regrets slowly moved on when he saw Jungkook looking down on Areum. Jungkook looked ashamed. Taehyung had the baby in his arms in the living room singing low melodies to the infant. Jimin was panicking and when he saw his elder he started freaking out more.

Areum was passed out infront of Jungkook. Jungkook didn't look capable of doing anything, that's probably where his shame stemmed from. Hoseok went straight to Areum and checked for her pulse immediately. It was normal. She shook her and she stirred a little.

Her dark brown eyes blinked open and she stared at him. He could see the emotions swirling in her eyes. She turned her head.

"What happened?" She mumbled.

"You opened the door and passed out," Jungkook said.

"Can one of you take me to the hospital?" She asked. "I need to see my OB/GYN."

"Do you remember anything?" Hoseok whispered. He didn't like seeing the poor girl like this.

"Only opening the door, my memory is fine, but Thomas isn't," she said. She clutched her stomach and leaned on the frame of the door. "I need my surgery."

"Surgery?" Hoseok asked her.

"My body won't let go of Thomas, I don't think I can wait two more weeks though. I've already waited a month," she explained.

Hoseok stopped for a moment. She was still carrying her baby. The baby wasn't even alive, normally women would dispel of the fetus in case of a miscarriage.

"I'll take you, is it the one about two miles down the road?" Hoseok asked the girl, she was surprisingly calm, physically atleast.

"You need to stay here with Hobi, these rats clearly don't know how to take care of a child," she grumbled.

"We can take him with, these "rats" wouldn't know what to do at the hospital either," he smiled softly at her.

"Thanks," she lightly giggled, only to hiss in pain.

He helped her up and she gripped his bicep harshly. He held back a yelp, knowing she was probably in more pain than him. The maknaes, except Taehyung, held the door open and helped Areum. Taehyung held the baby and walked out behind them. Jimin walked to his car and started it. Jungkook got into the back while Taehyung assisted with helping the baby get into his carseat.

Once everything was settled the boys told him that they will go to the hospital with them, Taehyung offered to hold the baby while Hoseok and Jimin got Areum situated. Jungkook agreed to go back to the dance studio, since he didn't know what to do, this was as of Hoseok's request.

The drive to the hospital in Hoseok's vehicle was calm, the baby fell asleep and Areum. hummed to the radio. It was a short drive because of how close the hospital was, but with Seoul traffic, it took a bit longer. Thankfully the studio was on the way to the hospital, so the maknae mobile stopped there for Jungkook.

"Stay here with Hobi while I get someone to take you inside," Hoseok told Areum.

The girl nodded. Hoseok went inside and signed her in, he explained to the receptionist about the situation of her miscarriage and she needed her surgery immediately. The receptionist told him that a team will come get her right away.

When the "team" got there, Hoseok noticed Jaesun. Jaesun looked around and his eyes fell on Hoseok. Jaesun looked malicious every time Hoseok saw him. Hoseok gulped and led the nurses and doctor too Areum.

Hoseok saw Jaesun tense up when he saw Areum in his car. Areum looked up at the doctor as the nurses helped get her on the stretcher. They rushed her inside of the hospital and Hoseok took Hobi's carseat and went inside of the hospital. The male made sure he had a on his mask for identity purposes. He was wondering when the boys were going to be here.

After about five more minutes, Taehyung and Jimin entered the hospital. They spotted Hoseok and walked over to him. Hobi was asleep on Hoseok. Taehyung went over and offered to hold him, but Hoseok declined because the child was sleeping. Jimin took notice of the distraught look on Hoseok's face.

"What's happening?" Jimin asked in a hushed voice.

"I don't know. Jaesun is her doctor though and I think he blames me for what happened to Areum," Hoseok frowned.

"Why do you call her Areum?" Taehyung mumbled loud enough for then to hear.

"It suits her and that was her alias when we first met," Hoseok explained. "How is Kooks?"

"I think he's in shock, he's never been around women very much because of him starting idol training at such a young age," Jimin said.

"Maybe, he's so close to his mom though. I'm sure shes told him stuff about situations similar to this. He and Joy often talked too, she shared everything about her pregnancy, and more about everything else that happens to women in general," Hoseok chuckled quietly.

"True, but he's still only 20," Taehyung sighed.

"I think he knew, but didn't know how to handle the real life situation," Hoseok proposed.

"That could be," Jimin trailed off.

"For Ahn Katlyn," a nurse called.
