A Second Chance

 

Hyuna’s POV

The man kept on calling my name since I did not answer. I was just frozen there but I know I had to reach the hospital as soon as possible. “Yeah I’ll be there.” I hang up and grabbed my car keys.

 

I looked around the hospital to find a familiar face. Jay had once introduced me to his colleagues so I remembered some of their faces. My heart beats fast and I felt like it could pop out of my chest anytime soon. I saw Jay’s close friend, Taecyeon, sitting on a bench in front of the emergency ward.

I rushed to him. He stood up as he saw me in front of him.

“Where is he? How is he? What happened?” bullets of questions were aimed at him. I don’t have time to think. I just shoot him with the questions I had at that moment.

“Relax Hyuna. He’s in the emergency ward. Doctors are trying hard. But you know his condition. It’s really critical.” He said softly, looking me straight in the eye.

“What happened Taecyeon-ah..” I asked softly. My voice was almost gone as my tears are welling up in my eyes.

He looked on the floor to avoid eye contact. “He said he was having a headache. I told him to take his medicine like usual. But this time, his headache was too extreme. He kept pressing on his temples and he could barely walk. The next thing I know, he out and collapsed.”

My tears were already rolling down my cheeks like waterfall. I fell on my knees and Taecyeon immediately supported my arms to lead me to a seat. I covered my face and cried. Tears were wetting both my palms as I prayed silently.

“God please don’t take Jay from me now. I’m still not ready. His son still needs him. I still need him. Please god.. please don’t take Jay’s life. I’m begging you….” I sobbed in my hands and I felt Taecyeon comforting me by patting my back lightly. Jay was very close with him. He was older than Jay though. He treated me and Jay like his own younger sister and brother. Only he knows of Jay’s condition. No one else in his workplace knows about it.

 

After a few hours, the doctor came out. I rushed to the doctor along with Taecyeon. I was crying so much that I can’t even ask the doctor. I just stood there, waiting for him to tell me what was going on.

“He is slightly conscious now but we didn’t manage to save his life entirely. I’m very sorry. He could go anytime. And he doesn’t have much time. I suggest you see him now,” the doctor said apologetically.

I bowed slightly and rushed into the ward. I opened the door and saw Jay lying motionlessly on the hospital bed. It was quiet. The only sound that can be heard in the room was the beeping sound of the ECG monitor.

I walked slowly towards him and sat at the edge of his bed, facing him. By now I couldn’t control my tears any longer. Jay turned to me as I sat on the bed. His face was pale. He tried to smile although he was still weak and that only made me cry more. I couldn’t bear seeing him in this condition.

His hand reached out for mine slowly. I held his hand and kissed the back of his hand. His other hand reached out to my face and wiped my tears away.

“Don’t cry baby…” he said very softly. It was more like a whisper. His chest rise and fall heavily as he was finding it quite hard to breathe already.

I couldn’t talk. I couldn’t stop crying. I’m not ready. I’m not ready to lose you Jay. It’s too soon.

“Lie down with me…. for the last time….” he said.

I just followed what he said and tried to lie on the single bed beside him carefully. I hugged his waist and looked at him in the eye, sobbing uncontrollably.

“I’m not ready Jay. You can’t leave me. I still need you. Jae Hee still needs you,” I finally spoke.

His hand held on my right cheek, caressing it.

“You know… this.. is going.. to happen…. The moment… you agreed…. To… marry me…” he said in between his deep breaths. He took a long breath before he continued.

“Thank you…..for being…in my life….. being my friend…my girlfriend…..my wife…” I really couldn’t stop crying while looking at his eyes. He can’t do this to me.

“Accepting for who I am…… having Jae Hee….” His voice was getting softer and weaker. He was having trouble talking and breathing that I just wished he would just stop talking if that is what it takes for him to survive.

“Just remember….. that I will…. Always…… love you….and no matter….. what you decide…. to do…. in the future…. I know….its for....the best… Promise… that you’ll…stay with me…… until… my last breath…..” I just nodded lightly. I blinked my eyes several times to clear the tears welling up in my eyes. Jay kissed my forehead very lightly. He pulled back and looked and me with half-opened eyes.

Suddenly the ECG monitor beeping sound got faster. He eyes rolled back and he was having trouble getting air like a fish being out of water.

I sat up immediately and shook his arm. “Jay! Jay! No you can’t go.. no Jay please…” I held onto both of his shoulders, crying uncontrollably.

He exhaled deeply one last time, causing his chest to be lifted up. As soon as he let out his breath slowly, the ECG monitor indicated a flat liner.

My head collapse onto his chest, just crying. I could no longer hear his heartbeat. I sat up slowly and placed a soft kiss on his pale lips. A tear fell onto his cheeks.

The doctor and nurses came in and covered Jay fully with the white blanket. I stood aside with Taecyeon, sobbing. How am I supposed to tell Jae Hee?

Park Jae Hee… appa’s gone…                

 

 

 

So yeah... i bet you guys are jumping with joy that Jay is out. But really, isnt it sad that he died? :'( 

Anyway if you're wondering why I like to use Taecyeon's name, well, I like him. :P so yeah that simple.

Chapter 29: OMG. UGLY SOBBING. No lie - my eyes just won't stop leaking tears lol. UGH. I'm an incoherent spazz right now. This story, your writing, HYUNA. JAY. JUNHYUNG. EVERYTHING has put me through an emotional roller coaster and I can't really process my thoughts well enough to give you anything constructive other than my eternal feelz LOL.
So, I think I'm in the minority here but I literally SQUEALED when it was revealed early on that Hyuna was married to Jay. Not gonna lie, I am a hardcore Jay/Hyuna shipper. There isn't enough fanfic about them sadly :( so I was shocked and beside myself reading all the adorably sweet Jay/Hyuna moments. Ugh, it was heartbreaking when he died...I literally choked and let out a sob and had to walk away for a breather.
I think what I love most about this story is that the ending (though heartbreaking) leaves a rather ambiguous message that can be taken either way. We know Hyuna is Junhyung's only true love but is Junhyung Hyuna's? I found myself torn .. when she was still alive, I thought that Jay's death was a way for her to find her way back to Junhyung but then she died and joined Jay and I changed my mind and thought maybe Jay is her true love/soul mate and she's finally returning to him. ANYWAY. I could be completely OFF and just insane but that's just a testament to your skill and how engaging this story is and how emotionally invested I became.
Junhyung was just heartbreaking from start to end. I felt for him and really the poor guy went through so much but I was incredibly touched that he finally got his family in the end, even without Hyuna. Your ending sentence had so much emotional impact and was absolutely perfect.
I know this is mainly a Junah love story but perhaps you wrote Jay and Hyuna's relationship so well I couldn't help but root for them instead (and I say this with Junah as my OTP). Hopefully if you find inspiration you might write a Jay/Hyuna centred fic next? hehe ^^
YOU'RE AMAZING. I'm off to read your other work!
