Minseokie Hyung
Jongin, are you still having lectures now?
Sehun fainted when he was working. Baekhyun had took him to the hospital near your campus.
—01.30 PM
Jongin's heart dropped when he received that message. He tried to calm himself down, and then walk hurriedly to his desk.
Fortunately, his lecture for today had finished. He doesn't have to worry about leaving his students alone and having them to learn by themselves today.
After tidying his textbooks and his teaching materials into a folder, he walked to the secluded room in the corner of this office, where the chief of this department reside in. He knocked on the door, and then stepped in when he got the permission.
"What is it, Jongin?" asked the man behind his spectacles, looking very decent.
"I would like to ask for your permission to leave early, Sir. They told me that my husband was fainted, and I need to go to the hospital right now."
The said man sighed. "Jongin, I'm tired of telling you this, but drop the formality. For God sake, I'm your brother."
"I'm a professional, and I believe that we're still in the professional environment," he replied shortly.
"Whatever. Anyway, you can leave. If any of your student are looking for you for a consultation, I'll tell them to come again next time."
Jongin bowed politely. "Yes, Sir. Thank you."
His brother rolled his eyes. Sometimes, Jongin called him like that to tease him up. It's so tiring.
"Please lemme know about Sehun condition later. I'll come over after work."
Jongin just nodded his head before turning his back and leaving the room.
"Thank you, Junmyeon Hyung."

After driving with his head that filled with some worriedful thoughts, he finally made it to the hospital. Baekhyun, Sehun's colleague had told him about which room he's treated in.
His husband worked at a cafe as a waiters since the first year of their marriage. He always tell him that he really like to work there, and he's not even feeling bored or extremely tired, even if they're in their busy hour.
Sehun really enjoy his time working at the cafe, and seldom did he to whine to him. And this news were really make him worried about his condition.
Baekhyun had told him earlier about which room where they were in, and he can't wait to see his husband there and make sure that he's not experiencing a serious disease.
Ward number nine, he told him.
Here he was, in front of a closed door with a huge number 9 written on the door. He huffed anxiously and push the door open.
"Oh, you're finally came."
Baekhyun is the first one to greet him after he stepped in the room. And there was his husband, lying unconsciously on the mattress. He looks very pale and it makes Jongin heart's heaves with worry.
"What happened?"
Baekhyun looked at him with a smile. "I don't know how to broke the news to you, but, actually, you don't have to worry too much."
Jongin frowned. "What do you mean?"
"You guys have been expecting for this. He have the bun in the oven."
What did he just heard?
What they've been expecting for...
Sehun fainted, and then looking pale...
He suddenly remembered that Sehun have been craving for some tangerines last week.
He has connected the dot now, and he can't believe it that he cannot give any reaction to Baekhyun's words.
"Oh—"
Baekhyun gasped loudly when Jongin crushed him in a tight hug while crying. He just shaking his head while suppressing his laugh and let the man sobbing on his shoulder.
"Baek— I .. I can't believe it..."
"Yeah, yeah, stop talking and calm down for a bit. You may cry as much as you want now."
By the time Jongin has calmed down, Sehun still hasn't awoken from his deep sleep. Jongin took a seat beside the bed bunk, and then grabbed his hand gently. Soft smile plastered on his face, and only became wider everytime he glancing at his husband flat belly and then proceeding to stare at his face.
"I still can't believe it's real. It's happening now... We're gonna be parents," he whispered while pressed a gentle kiss on Sehun's knuckles.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I've gotta go now. They need me."
Jongin turned to glance at Baekhyun. "Take care! Thanks for taking Sehun here."
Baekhyun smiled. "No problem."
With that being said, Baekhyun is leaving the room. Jongin's attention is back to his lovely husband whose still sleeping soundly. He must've been exhausted that he's fainted like this.
He never complained about anything. If he's tired, he'd just ask him for a massage nicely. Then, he's up to some cuddles. They would huddled up in their warm blanket, sharing each other heat that drive them off to sleep.
That side of Sehun what makes him lovable, but in certain condition, it makes him worried—just like what happened today.
Jongin startled when Sehun's finger brushed his own hands gently, waking him up from his deep thought. Not long after that, his husband opened his eyes slowly.
"Uh... Jongin?"
"Yes, babe. It's me. Do you need anything? Do you feel hurt somewhere?" he asked while caressing his hair softly.
"Nothing, I'm just feeling a lil dizzy. Am I burning?"
Jongin placed the back of his hand on Sehun's forehead, then moved onto his nape and his temperature feels normal in his skin.
"No, I don't think so. Unless, you got your temperature checked by the doctor. Anyway, you may not feel anything strange with your body. But, still, you need to get checked up by them. So, wait here, yeah? I'll be right back."
Sehun can't hold him back, so he just agreed and watched his husband leaving him alone for some times. He's tried to recall what was happened back then before he ended up in this bed.
The cafe was pretty crowded, the busy hour of their shop was coming. He's busy taking people's order, walking here and there when he felt a twisted feeling in his gut. His vision was slowly turned into somehow kinda blurry, and then he lost his consciousness.
The last thing he could reckon was Baekhyun that was screaming his name, along with some customers that were gasping audibly. He felt very fucked up, and he wanted to get out from this place quickly.
His thoughts were interrupted by a soft bang from the door who were in contact with the wall. A middle aged man with his white coat followed after the door opened, while his husband is walking behind of the doctor.
"How are you feeling now?" he asked while preparing his utensils to check his patient.
"A bit dizzy, and sometimes I feel nauseous."
"Alright. Lemme check your body temperature."
He let the doctor to check his body temperature, his blood pressure, and some other medical check-up.
"Your condition is good, Mr. Oh. You're just a bit exhausted, and you need to rest more. About your symptoms, I've prescribed some medicine to your husband. Also, the symptoms are common for someone who's carrying a baby, so, please take a good rest and don't put yourself too much."
Sehun just realized that Jongin hasn't been in his last position. He must've been went out to take the medicine in the pharmacy.
"So, it'll be fade away after I take a good rest and take medicines regularly?"
"Yup. And you have to maintenance your diet. You and your baby need more nutritious food."
"Wait, my what?" Sehun halted.
The doctor paused. "Your baby, Sir. You're carrying a baby. I'm not sure, maybe you're in the fifth week? You need to meet an obstetricians to be more accurate since I'm just a general practitioner. Wait, you seem shocked about it. Haven't you found out yet?"
Sehun shook his head, still with a shock in his face.
'There's a baby...in my belly?'
Not long after that, Jongin came with some medicines in his hands.
"Anyway, it's up to your decision if you want to be hospitalized until tomorrow. You could also decide to go back this afternoon. I've got to get going."
"Jongin, did you know about it?" He asked right after the doctor left them alone. Jongin stepped closer and sat on the blank space near Sehun's bed.
"About the baby?" a nod, "well, I've just found out about it minutes ago from Baekhyun."
"How are you feeling about it?"
"I'm thrilled. It's a shocking news— a good one, of course. We've been expecting for a baby, and now they're with us. We're going to be a parents, aren't we? Aren't you happy with me too?"
Sehun smiled. "I'm a bit emotional, actually."
"You have no idea, Sehun. I'm so happy for us, for our baby, for you."
He stopped to press a soft kiss on Sehun's forehead. Sehun feel very touched, and he leaned for a hug.
"I love you."
Jongin peppered some kisses on Sehun's head while stroking his back soothingly.
"I love you more."
