Chapter 16

Emergency

    I immediately knew that something was wrong right as I opened the door to our house. There were sniffling sounds, and Myungsoo was standing at the doorway with his mom. Daehyun was equally as confused as I was.

  “What do you think is going on?” He asked.

  “Can’t be something good.” I sighed.

  “Oh. Eunji. Daehyun. You guys are here.” Myungsoo turned around, noticing us. As I see it now, my mom was definitely crying.

  “Why is Mom like this?” I asked him cautiously. He looked to my aunt, and it was obvious they didn’t want to tell us.

L.Joe came back at about ten in the night smiling like a retard. I scoffed. What happened this time?

   “You’ll never believe what happened!!” He squealed, twirling around. I actually thought of taping him and sending it to Neil and Chunji for future preferences. “Yoona and I both like coffee and purple stuff! We’re meant to be!”

   “Yeah, keep dreaming,” I muttered. To be completely honest, I was already in a terrible mood and this just made me want to explode by another fifteen percent. “I’m going to bed.”

  “You okay?”

  “Eunji, we’re going to the hospital. You should come with us.” Mom called me from upstairs.

  “Okay! Coming!” I yelled. Looking at Byunghun, he wa
