Use Me Like A Drug (omegaverse bl)-Chapter 228: I’m here

Yujun’s POV

I want it to end.

Right now, I want to let go and just let the darkness take me wherever, it’s getting too hard to stay here.

I have been floating around in an endless circle for a long time now.

In this place, there is no noise, no other living being, no time, no days...only space, space and more space. I don’t know how long I’ve been stuck here or if I will even be able to get out of here.

Do I even want to get out? What is left for me?

This place is not the blue waters that I have gotten familiar with, this place that I’m in is completely different. This place is deep, cold and black.

I blink slowly, getting exhausted from fighting against the deep sleep that has been trying to pull me under.

My eyes can’t stay open any longer in this place, it’s really hard to keep myself awake, I feel free here, but I also feel like there is more. This place feels like it’s just a waiting room, like a passage into something more peaceful.

I turn around instinctively and the scene has changed, behind me is black water and in front of me is the blue one I know, the one that I am used to.

I’m between the two places, maybe this is when I make my choice...isn’t it?

One of the jellyfish pair I used to see comes floating in front of my eyes and I smile at it, it’s the big one. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

I can’t move away from where I am but I observe it closely, it looks the same but when it comes closer, I squint at it and that’s when I notice that the jellyfish is almost completely out of light.

Its movements are weaker than I have seen other times, I know that the jellyfish is me and I can only interpret it as...I’m dying?

"How about the baby?" I ask quietly, but the jellyfish doesn’t give me an answer, it just continues to float.

"Hmm?" I ask as tears fill my eye.

What about the baby jellyfish? What about the patchouli I smelled? What about it?

I know that if I move forward, I would wake up but...I can’t wake up to a world where there is no Haeri or Jaehyun, I can’t handle it.

"Let me go" I say to no one and turn around to swim into the black waters, after all...death has been hanging around the corner and waiting for me all my life, the cursed omega male that ruined the Choi bloodline.

I move into it and arms suddenly wrap around me and force me around; the jellyfish I was looking for is right there in front of me next to the dying big one.

"Oh..." I say, the tightness in my chest loosens up as I look at the way the jellyfish’s light is bright and strong.

"You’re okay?" I ask and the jellyfish floats around, like it’s dancing for me, "that’s a relief" I whisper.

"Mom, hurry and come" the jellyfish seems to say, and a red glowing light swallows me up.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Jaehyun’s POV

We rush into the room where Yujun is laying almost lifeless on the small bed.

Fuck no, hell no!

One of the nurses has his hands on Jaehyun’s chest, pressing down to revive him, but the machine remains the same. Flatline. He flatlined. He can’t!

"Please, wake him up!" I yell, forgetting that I am holding the baby in my arms.

"Jaehyun! Get out of here" mom yells at me but I growl in rebellion, I don’t want to get out of here, not when my omega is slipping out of my hands this fast.

"Junnah, you need to wake up!" I shout without thinking, pushing past the nurses while cradling Haeri’s head to my chest, I keep holding her gently even when my movements are rough.

I put the baby on Yujun’s chest, holding her with one hand and shaking Yujun’s body with the other, I hear my mom telling the nurses to leave me alone.

Nothing else matters in this room other than seeing my mate open his eyes.

"Junnah, please, you have to wake up!" I say, almost sobbing now, I press my lips to his forehead, "please...you need to see how beautiful our Haeri is" I say weakly.

"She looks so much like me, she’s...Junnie, she’s the most beautiful baby I have ever seen" I say and let out a broken sob, needing a sign from him to tell me that he’s with us.

Haeri cries out in discomfort, and I support her weight on Yujun’s body.

"See? She’s asking you to come, please, do this for us" I beg and the machine behind us beeps once, sending the entire room into silence.

"D-did...did you hear that?" one of the nurses says and goes to look at the machine.

"Junnah..." I whisper and another beep noise follow, "keep talking to him! He’s starting to respond" mom says, I hear the tears in his voice as I lift Haeri slightly to show my mate her face.

"Our daughter, she has met everyone but her mom, I’m sure she’s getting curious about you" I say and when a drop of my tear lands to Yujun’s face, he winces and scrunches his nose before he opens his eyes.

"I’m here..." he croaks and I fall to my knees immediately placing Haeri on him.

"Fuck" I sob, losing all the strength in my body.

I hear hushed conversations before the nurses leave the room one by one, Yujun buries his fingers in my hair and uses one hand to hold Haeri properly.

"You’re alive" he whispers.

"Yes, I’m sorry I didn’t come for you, my love, I’m so sorry" I whisper, leaning into his touch, "Jaehyun...we did it, we gave birth" he says and I lift my head enough to look at his face.

He looks weak and exhausted, but his face shows just how happy he is, his eyes are wet with tears and hands shaking as he holds our daughter.

"You’re alive...I can live now" he says and closes his eyes again.

This time, I’m not scared.

I know he’ll come back to us.
