• Emergency [e-mer'jen-se]- an unlooked for or sudden occurrence, often dangerous, such as an accident or an urgent or pressing need •

It was a day like any other for Jimin. He woke up around 2:30AM, showered and quickly drove off to work at the hospital just a few blocks away.

Still rubbing sleepiness from his eyes he pushed open the glass doors of the hospital, running a hand through his thick black hair.

Jimin was immediately met with the hustle and bustle of the hospital. Loud crash carts being pushed down long hallways, the elevator beeping in preparedness, small children running around as they had escaped from their rooms to play tag with their friends. The hospital was always alive with activity, no matter how late.

Jimin quickly changed into his scrubs, getting ready to stroll down to the trauma center to see if any patients were being carted in on gurneys, likely with life-threatening wounds.

As he got into the crowded trauma center he caught his coworker and fellow fourth year resident, Kim Taehyung, by the arm.

"Hey what's going on down here? Anything new?" Jimin's eyes scanned the room, stopping on various bloody wounds and broken bones.

"Not much. There's a girl in bed 4 that you can check out, I'm trying to get in touch with her parents now," Taehyung scratched his head in annoyance, "Her babysitter let her get bit by some street dog, I think she needs stitches."

Taehyung quickly walks off in search of the girl's family records to contact the parents. Jimin walks over to the bed with the sobbing little girl.

"Hey there, how are you feeling?" Jimin flashes a toothy smile towards the girl.

"I-it hurts!" More tears streamed down the girl's face. Jimin wiped them gently and glanced over to the older girl sitting in a waiting chair, presumably the babysitter.

"Want to let me see it?" Jimin gently takes the girl's arm in his small hands and examines the wound.

"Ah stitches...yes." Jimin mutters to himself, immediately searching the room for the pediatric surgeon Dr.Kim. He's much better with kids.

Jimin tilts the girls chin up with his hand and says, "I'm going to get a very special doctor to help you feel better, okay?"

The girl nods her head up and down rapidly, wanting to get rid of her pain.

Jimin walks towards the center of the room and finally spots Dr.Kim.

"Dr.Kim! Could you come over here? There's a little girl who needs stitches and you're much better with kids..." Dr.Kim makes his way over to Jimin, quickly passing off a patient's clipboard to another doctor.

"Sure I'll take care of it. Where is she?"

"Bed 4."

Dr.Kim walks over to the bed and leans down to the girl's level. He shoots her a smile that reveals his deep dimples, which he invites the girl to poke to her content.

She giggles loud enough for Jimin to hear from across the room and he knows she's in good hands.

Jimin spies Taehyung with a distressed look on his face walking towards him.

"It's bad news Jimin. I can't get ahold of her parents. They haven't answered a single call!"

"I'm sure they'll call back eventually. She's getting stitches now so it's okay." Jimin smiles at Taehyung who only sighs in response.

"Hopefully they'll call back soon. Anyways, it's been a little slow tod-" As soon as Taehyung was about to finish his sentence a 911 call was placed and ringing on their pagers.

Jimin runs to the emergency room doors, anticipating the damage.

As the EMTs wheeled in the three patients they gave a report of the situation.

"Alright so we got one couple and one kid who was on a motorcycle. It was a nasty crash, I'm surprised motorcycle kid is still alive. The couple is Maria and James Fetterson-"

Taehyung suddenly gasped, "That's the girl's parents! I'll take them Jimin, you take the other guy!" Jimin nods and the couple is wheeled off to the emergency rooms, followed by a group of doctors.

"So you get stuck with motorcycle man. His name is Jeon Jeongguk, 21 years old. He's got a few broken ribs, likely a concussion from a contusion on the back of his skull from where his own bike handle slammed into his head and he had a slight murmur in his heart."

Jimin nodded and took the gurney calling for a few other residents to help him stabilize the patient.

"Get a crash cart now! Somebody call Dr.Kim we have to have a brain scan done! Okay let's see what we got."

Jimin examined Jeongguk's blooded and bruised body. His ribs were poking through his skin abnormally and his arms were covered in scrapes. The patient must have been in complete shock because the next words he could sputter out were-

"Wow, y-you're a really cute doctor...are you gonna save me?" Jeongguk coughed harshly, spraying blood into his hand.

"Stop talking, and yes we're going to do our best to save you." Jimin touched Jeongguk's exposed ribs causing the man to scream out in agony.

Suddenly, Jeongguk began to crash. His heartbeat was irregular and he was convulsing on the hospital bed.

"It looks like one of his ribs has puntured his heart, we have to move him NOW! Somebody page Dr.Min we have an emergency heart surgery to perform!" As he was yelling he began pushing Jeongguk towards the closest operating room.

Once in the surgical room, Jeongguk was put under anesthesia as Jimin scrubbed in.

Dr.Min Yoongi had arrived at the scene and Jimin explained the situation as they entered the operation room.

They opened Jeongguk up and brought his rib back in place to stop puncturing his heart. Dr.Min quickly went to work on fixing the wound in the heart as Jimin fixed up his mess of ribs.

Jimin put the ribs back in place and used a surgical adhesive to hold them in their rightful positions until they fully healed.

As Dr.Min was finishing up Jimin took the opportunity to examine the wound on the back of Jeongguk's head.

It was bleeding and could be some cause for concern so they would need to get a CT scan soon after his surgery. He would page Dr.Kim for a consult.

A loud beeping suddenly filled the room, signalling that Jeongguk was once again crashing.

Jimin ran over to assess the issue.

"His heart is still bleeding, we need to close up this rip and we have to do it fast!" He began helping Dr.Min with the stitches, performing a perfect horizontal mattress suture. This impressed Dr.Min as Jeongguk stabilized once again.

"Alright we're done here, let's close him up. Nice job Dr.Park."

They finished up the surgery and brought Jeongguk into a quiet room where he remained stable and asleep while they called his emergency contact, someone named Jung Hoseok.

Jimin watched as Jeongguk steadily breathed in and out, proud that he was able to save his life.
