Fifty Eight
ACE.It was intense. I’m on my last three days in Korea and Key surprisingly came here without informing me. I have no problem with that. I actually like that he did and all but here’s the thing. I miss him but my past days in here it feels like...home. I haven’t been missing going back to Paris in a while and I don’t feel lonely. I have my friends and family in here and in there, truth to be told, even though I am living my dream, I kind of feel like I’m alone and lonely at the same time. Sure I have Key. He makes everything special when he’s not busy working too but it made me realize that Korea is my home. That I belong in here
And back to what I was saying. When he arrived, he was already talking to my brother and Joy. The thing is that Onew and I both came at the same time, together, and I know this will look bad eventually but he just helped and drove me from the grocery store. We didn’t plan to meet up or anything I just saw him there paying for his yogurt drink and 6 cans of beer
I was so shocked when I saw him and ran immediately to give him a hug. But before that, I saw it. The stare between him and Onew. There was no doubt in it. They hate each other.
“Oh my god, you’re here”
“I came to surprise you and pick you up”
“You didn’t have to! Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I just missed you and I want us to go on a trip together”
I didn’t answer him. The fact is, I don’t want to go on a trip with him. It’s not that I hate him or anything but in my relationship with Key, he always wants us to be together. I don’t know when I started to notice but sometimes it suffocates me. This was supposed to be my vacation with my family and some time alone from everything, and being alone with him doesn’t exactly go with my alone time.
“why don’t we all go together instead. It will be fun”
“but—“
“please?”
“okay, sure”

ONEW’S POV
It has been a long time since Sara was here. We departed in good terms and I tried not to do anything especially that her boyfriend was giving me the vive. I don’t know when she’ll come back here but she started talking to me when she video calls his brother and I am hanging at their place. Just simple stuffs.
Minho and I went to a party tonight. This was his break time from his girlfriend. They have been having problems lately but nothing too deep to break them up. They’ll figure things out. They are the reason why I still believe in the concept of love to be honest so they don’t have the right.
He insists on driving even though he’s a little drunk and stupid me, let him do it. As we were heading in an intersection, something just passed I don’t even know what the hell that is but I think it’s some kind of animal. We were both shocked and Minho just lose control and we bumped into a pole.
The next thing I know, I was wearing a gown, I have an IV line, and everything is freaking white. I looked around and all I can see was this tired nurse. She was checking on me.
“Am I dead? Why is everything so white? What—why--” I asked her in panic
“Sir, calm down. You’re in a hospital do you remember what happened?”
“We were laughing then something passed by and—where the hell is Minho?!”
“Sir, calm down” I tried to sit up but my body hurts so much and I have a cast in my arm. In my freaking arm. . I tried to breathe. I tried to calm down, how will I be able to play?
“Please, just tell me. Is he alright?”
“He’s still unconscious”
“How long was I here?”
“6 hours”
“Then why the isn’t he awake and I am? I need to see him”
And the freaking nurse called the doctor. He checked me here, he checked me there why is it taking so long?
“You’ll be fine. Your arm must heal so you can’t take this cast off for 4 weeks okay?”
“4 weeks? But I have a game next month”
“You can’t play for a while Mr. Lee. No more questions”
“Fine! But please just tell how my friend is”
“He’s still unconscious but he’ll be fine. The only major injury he had was in his legs”
“What?! Then why isn’t he awake”
“The impact was on his side. From what we see, if he hadn’t quickly shielded you with his arm, you could have bumped your head tremendously”
He did what? I tried to absorb everything as the doctor left the room. I won’t be able to play baseball for a while. I need to tell coach and prepare to be scolded. Second, Minho hit his leg. He can’t be injured in that area especially now that he has been training so hard. Damn this is a ing mess and third, being in a hospital, made me realize how much alone I am. I have been awake for a while but I can’t see anyone here with me or just someone to check on me.
“Hey,” I looked up. Crazy girl
“Hey”
“Heard you’re awake. I came to check on you”
“How is he?”
“He’s still asleep but everything is fine except for his leg”
“Will he still be able to play?”
“In time, but not now. It will devastate him so much”
“I know”
“You too, your right arm..how will you..”
“Don’t mind me. I’m more worried for him. This is my fault”
“It’s not. It’s no one’s fault. Stop blaming yourself. It was an accident. But how stupid for the both of you to still drive while you’re in the influence of alcohol. Please let this be a lesson for the both of you!”
“I’m sorry, we should have been more careful...” she’s nagging at me
“Anyways, Sara will fly back here to check on her brother. I called her and she got the earliest flight possible” I just nodded
Hours passed and finally Minho is awake. I convinced my nurse to let me see the bastard who tried to save my life before his. When I opened the door to his room, his foot was hanging, he had bandages all over his head, he got bruises in his arms, he got an IV line and is wearing the same gown as I am. We looked at each other for a moment and I don’t know why we just instantly laugh at each other.
“Dude…”
“Dude…we look horrible”
“I know”
We laughed and laughed until there were literal tears in my eyes. I was so worried about him. Thank God, he’s fine. But I know him. He doesn’t want to know he’s concerned. I know he’s troubled about how he’ll play or if he’ll be able to play
I sat on the chair next to him
“I won’t be able to play baseball for a while. Doctor is such a ”
“me too. I guess I need to reflect on my actions for the mean time and get some rest”
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“I’ll be lying I say I am totally fine. I am not, and I know so are you but what can we do? We were both stupid drinking our asses out that we didn’t think of getting a cab home”
“Your sister will arrive tomorrow”
“Joy said”
“You both okay?”
“Yeah. We’re good”
“Don’t let her go, man”
“I won’t”
“I heard you saved my life”
“Nahhh. Just happened that way, I knew you would do the same. Love you man, I would never let you down”
“bro….”
Then someone cleared their throat
“Am I disturbing your moment?”
“He was about to confess to me! Why are you here?” I told her
“Just checking”
“I hate you” nahh I freaking adore this woman. She’s like my own sister
“same.” She smiled at me and I let them have their moment too
We’ve been here for 2 days already and so much has happened. You know, people coming in and out. My room is full of freaking flowers and balloons. Get well soon my , you could have just bought me food or snacks to eat. Let me also tell you that this has been so stressful for crazy girl because she has been tak
