Chapter Twenty-Four

Needs | EDITING

Something was bothering Minho ever since the morning and it wasn't a good feeling. So after the last meeting, he ordered Mr. Kim to cancel all his appointment and meetings for the rest of the day as he rushed to get home 

 
He had a bad feeling that something bad happened to Sulli and the baby. All sorts of crazy thoughts ran through his head but Minho didn't want to listen or even think in full detail about it. All he could think of was to get home and find Sulli safe 
 
Arriving at the house, Minho immediately parked the car and ran as fast as he can inside. His heart was pounding crazy with his mind all scattered. As soon as he opened the door, Minho burst into tears as he laid his eyes upon Sulli who was laying down on the living room floor with blood all over her legs 
 
"Oh my god! Babe! Babe! Babe! Wake up! Oh good Lord, the baby! Hyun Joon-ah! Please stay with  Daddy and Mommy. Don't leave us, please. Daddy will help you, we're going to the hospital" Minho said as he was shaking Sulli with tears visibly running down his face. Moments after not receiving any sort of response, Minho picked up Sulli and carried her over to the car 
 
Securely placing Sulli in the car, Minho drove to the hospital as fast as possible to the hospital. He couldn't think straight but the only thing that's clearly straight in his mind is Sulli and Hyun Joon, he wants to keep them both safe and alive 
 
As soon as they arrived to the emergency, the doctors and nurses tended Sulli and brought her to the OR immediately 
 
"Please doctor, nurse. Save my wife and baby. Do all your best to save them, they're very important to me. Please, I don't want to loose them either one of them" Minho begged onto his knees, crying his heart out. The nurse felt sympathy, she helped Minho and assured him that they will do their best 
 
All Minho could do was wait. He wanted to call up his parents to inform them but he knew that he couldn't handle it, he'll just break down into tears. Minho doesn't want them to worry 
 
Nearly waiting for almost 30 minutes, one of the nurses came out. Minho got up from his chair and walked over to her with a heavy heart 
 
"The doctor went ahead and proceeded with an emergency C section, your wife was loosing to much blood and the only best thing to do at the moment is have the baby delivered. If we didn't proceed, there was a highly chance of miscarriage but fortunately, you brought her in time and the baby is a fighter. He wants to see the world sooner or later, both of them are fighting." The nurse informed, Minho let out a sigh relief. After thanking the nurse, Minho went back to his seat and waited once again 
 
The only thing Minho could really do was pray for his little family. He prayed that everything will be smooth and that everything will turn out fine eventually. Minho trusted the doctors, he knew that the doctors and nurses will all they can to help Sulli and Hyun Joon 
 
Nearly an hour later, the doctor came out. Minho prepared himself as he was about to hear the news 
 
"The emergency C section went successful. Mrs. Choi will be transferred to one of the rooms and as for the baby, he will be transferred to the ICU. I'm quite shocked at how immensely developed the baby is for a 7 month. He's a fighter alright. Now if you may excuse me" The doctor said with a small smile even patting Minho on the shoulder 
 
Minho's heart was starting to get filled with happiness and thanks. Everything went well, Sulli is safe as well as the baby. What else could go wrong?
 
============================
 
Minho waited for Sulli to wake up and tell her the news. His heart ached for Sulli, the pain she had to go through. Minho felt bad that he wasn't there to help her through the toughest times.  When he saw Sulli on the floor, almost lifeless and pale, he wanted to kill himself, what kind of husband was he to leave his own wife at a critical moment but he knew it's not his fault. Things like this were unexpected
 
"Babe" Sulli mumbles softly, almost into a whisper. Minho put his head up and found Sulli awake. He gently caressed her face, smiling weakly at her 
 
"Don't move too much, babe. Your cut is still fresh. Don't worry, Hyun Joon is safe." Minho said weakly as he saw that Sulli was trying to move but instead hurting herself more 
 
"He's a premature. Is my baby going to be fine? Where is my Hyun Joon? I want to see my baby." Sulli said, looking around the room. Minho took a hold of her right hand, holding it tight 
 
"Hyun Joon is in the ICU. Yes, he's a premature baby and he needs to stay there to get better but in the meantime, you also have to get better. Babe, you have to be strong. You know, the nurses and doctors have been telling me our little Hyun Joon is a fighter. I can see where he gets it from, babe. He got it from you." Minho informs, smiling faintly at Sulli 
 
The tears from Sulli's eyes started to form as they eventually fell down her face. Minho wiped them away as he got up from his seat and planted a kiss on her forehead, sending strength and love her way. Minho wants to let Sulli know that she's not alone, she has him to lean on. They have each other to fall on 
 
"I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me the most. I'm such a bad husband, I wasn't there when my wife  needed me. I'm so sorry, babe." Minho says as he starts to cry, Sulli weakly held his face, wiping his tears away 
 
"No one expected this. It's not your fault. It's no one's fault. Maybe fate is just playing with us. Don't be sorry, there's no need. You're an amazing husband. Remember your a husband that's one of a kind? I don't love you less because of what happened, I love you more each and everyday" Sulli said in a low tone, Minho breaks into a smile 
 
"I love you each and every day. Always and forever." Minho says with a smile, Sulli neared her face, initiating a kiss. With that simple kiss, it was if most of the pain wore off 
 
"You need to get better. When you're strong enough to get up, we'll visit little Hyun Joon together but for now, you need to rest and gain strength. Araseo? Mommy needs rest to see her precious baby" Minho says with a small smile, Sulli smiled faintly in return
 
============================
 
The following days after, Minho informed his parents of what happened. At first, the parents were deeply worried for Sulli and the baby but a few days after, they're worries lift up from their shoulders as Sulli was recovering as well as Hyun Joon
 
"Hyun Joon is stable now but we can never know what's going to happen next. Mrs. Choi however is recovering very quickly and can be discharged soon. We'll definitely keep an eye out on the changes of Hyun Joon" the doctor informed, shortly after left 
 
"Do you want visit Hyun Joon tomorrow? I asked the doctor if you can go out and he said yes, so do you want to see our little angel?" Minho said with a smile, Sulli smiled happily
 
"I've been dying to see my little angel. I can't wait to see him" Sulli says with a faint smile 
 
"I know babe, me too. We'll finally get to see him. If it's possible, I want to hold him in my arms and cradle him" Minho said with a small smile, Sulli laughs a little 
 
"Thank you for staying here. I would be a mess right now if you aren't here. How could I ever repay you for all the things you have done and gave to me?"Sulli said softly, Minho shook his head 
 
"We've been through this already, babe. I'm okay with you loving me. Your love repays everything I have done and given. Hyun Joon is part of it. You don't have to repay, I have you and Hyun Joon with me and I'm happily content with that" Minho says, caressing Sulli's face softly 
 
"I love you, Mr. Choi." Sulli says with a cheeky smile. Minho chuckles
 
"I do too, Mrs. Choi. A whole lot." Minho said, smiling. He held one of Sulli's hand, holding it tight 
 
============================
 
The first thing in the morning, Minho and Sulli went to go visit baby Hyun Joon in the ICU, both can't wait to finally get a glimpse, a hold of their angel that they've been wanting to see ever since they found out 
 
"Are you okay? Do you need a blanket? Are you okay sitting on the wheelchair? What about your cut, is alright? Do you need anything?" Minho kept on asking as they were about to leave the room and head on over to ICU 
 
"I'm fine, babe. Now, let's leave. Don't let me wait any longer, I've been waiting for this day to come already. Palli!" Sulli said with a slight laugh, Minho chuckles. Moments after, Minho the wheelchair, leaving the room 
 
As they were nearing the ICU, Sulli asked Minho if she can hold on of his hand, she wants something to hold on as they enter. When they arrived, the nurse who was watching over Hyun Joon gave them protective gear and told them a few things that aren't allowed and so on 
 
When the nurse opened the ICU door,  Sulli's tears begin to fall down her face as she laid her eyes upon the small baby incubator where Hyun Joon lies with all sorts of tubes attached to him. Sulli felt bad that her precious angel has to go all through of this. 
 
"Hyun Joon baby, Mommy is here. My angel, please stay strong. Continue fighting for us, I want to see you grow up healthy and happy. I don't want to see you here again baby" Sulli says in a cracked voice as she hovered over the incubator with unending tears falling down her face 
 
Minho's tears finally fell down his face as he witnessed Sulli. He wanted to go back in time and make sure that this won't happen. But it's impossible, it already happened, no turning back 
 
"Hey little buddy, Daddy is here. Your fighting right baby? Mommy and I have been dying to see you and now that we're seeing you, we couldn't feel any more happy. Gain strength, little buddy. I want to play with you already" Minho says, going to next to Sulli 
 
"Nurse, if it's okay can we hold him even if it's a brief moment?" Sulli asked, the nurse smiled a little as she nodded her head. The nurse helped Hyun Joon out the incubator and wrapped him securely in blankets before handing him over to Sulli 
 
"You're so tiny, Hyun Joon-ah." Sulli whispered as the tears continued to fall down. Hyun Joon was so fragile and little, Sulli felt bad for him. Holding him for another 5 minutes, Sulli carefully handed Hyun Joon over to Minho 
 
"Grow big and healthy, Hyun Joon-ah. I can't wait to see you fully recovered and healthy as ever. Mommy and I are happy to finally hold you in our arms, my angel. Even if you so fragile and tiny" Minho says with smile along with teary eyes 
 
The next 30 minutes, Sulli and Minho switched turns holding him and even shared stories, they were beyond happy to Hyun Joon interact a little, seeing a faint smile on his face brought warmth to Minsul's hearts, making it swell with joy 
 
"I'm sorry to cut it short but little Hyun Joon needs to go back inside the incubator." The nurse spoke up, Sulli and Minho nodded, but before handing Hyun Joon back to the nurse, Minsul planted a gentle kiss on his forehead 
 
"Bye baby boy. Tomorrow again, I love you so much my little Hyun Joon. Mommy and Daddy loves you so much, keep growing and growing, my baby." Sulli whispered before they left the ICU and headed back to the room 
 
============================
 
"Babe, it hurts. Ahh" Sulli grunts in pain, causing Minho to wake up from his nap 
 
"Where does it hurt babe? Hold on, I'll call in the nurse. Wait a little more babe" Minho said as he hurriedly went out and called over a nurse to help assist Sulli. Minutes after, a nurse came running in and checked Sulli 
 
"What's happening?" Minho asked in worry 
 
"Since Mrs. Choi's body is changing from the pregnancy, her body is producing so much milk but since she's not feeding at the moment, her s are starting to dry up and are becoming sore because of it" the nurse informed, Minho sighed in relief 
 
"So what's the best way to cure it?" Minho asked 
 
"We need to have her feed Hyun Joon. It's the only way to relive the pain she's feeling." The nurse responded 
 
"Is that safe for Hyun Joon? He's a premature, wouldn't he get an infection or something?" Sulli managed to ask 
 
"It is actually safe for the baby, a mother's milk has many benefits that a formula doesn't have. It's perfectly safe for the baby" The nurse clarified, Minho glanced at Sulli, he gave her a small smile, it was like saying 'it will be okay, let's proceed to it' 
 
"We'll go ahead and do it then. If it's safe and if it's the only way to reduce the pain, then I'm willing do it" Sulli says, the nurse nodded. The nurse got other nurses together, helping her. Momentarily, the nurses came back with Hyun Joon in the incubator 
 
One of the nurses assisted Sulli to sit up on the bed and get situated for the feeding. As the other nurse got Hyun Joon out of the incubator and into Sulli's arms, the nurse instructed Sulli what to do and how to do it 
 
At first Sulli almost yelled in pain as Hyun Joon was on the milk, but moments after Sulli got used to it and eventually enjoyed the feeling, it was a feeling that really hit Sulli that she was a mother already 
 
"My baby boy is hungry aren't you? Aigoo, look at you go" Sulli says with a slight laugh as she was looking down on Hyun Joon 
 
"It makes me jealous, I want to do that too" Minho whispered into Sulli's ears, making her blush
 
"You and your erted mind. Seriously babe? I hope Hyun Joon doesn't get that from you" Sulli says in a low tone, not wanting the nurses to hear her. Minho chuckles, he was so tempted but he had to hold it in 
 
Minho asked if it's alright if Hyun Joon can stay in the room for a couple of minutes before they take him back to the ICU, fortunately the nurses agreed. Even if it was only for 45 minutes that Hyun Joon stayed in the room, Minsul were content to have him close to them, they at least get to hold him and feel his presence in their arms 
 
============================
 
The pain of the incision was still lingering but it was bearable for Sulli, she could at least walk on her own now instead of being on the wheelchair and she can eat a few more solids than she did when the cut was fresh 
 
It was finally the day Sulli was discharged from the hospital but that doesn't mean everything was going well. Hyun Joon was still in the ICU, being taken care of but it will still be a while before Minho and Sulli could him home, although it hurts to leave Hyun Joon alone, it was for the best 
 
Minho told Sulli that he will briefly go home and freshen up as he will get a extra clothes for Sulli to change in, while Minho is at home, Sulli went over to the ICU and watched over Hyun Joon 
 
It was about an hour when Minho came back to the hospital, carrying a bag with clothes for Sulli. As he was going up to the ICU, he saw  that doctors and nurses were frantically running towards the same way he was going 
 
"What is happening? Why are the doctors are going that way, the same way to Hyun Joon's room?" Minho mumbled softly as his heart to race. He walked over quickly 
 
Sulli was crying her eyes out outside the ICU as one after the other of doctors came went into the room. Minho was confused, he didn't know what was happening, why is she acting that way? 
 
"Babe, what's happening? Why are you crying?" Minho asked, in the brink of crying. Sulli hugged him with all her might, sobbing onto his chest 
 
"Hyun Joon. His kidneys are starting to collapse as his heart beat is declining. I was just there watching him but next thing I knew, his vitals were starting to go down, I got scared, I panicked. I called over the doctors and nurses for help, and that's what they told me. Babe, I'm worried for Hyun Joon. What's going to happen to him?" Sulli said, sobbing in between each words
 
Minho didn't know what to feel, he felt numb hearing those words. His mind went blank as his eyes were starting to pour our tears. He didn't know what to think anymore, his child is in danger. Minho had thoughts of losing Hyun Joon but he didn't want to think bad things, all Minho wanted was Hyun Joon safe and alive.
