Fany-yah...

"Fany-yah..."

"Yuri?"

"Fany-yah..."

"Yuri." A female voice called and nudged me. "Yuri."

I opened my eyes. Everything was too bright. I tried to sit up and she assisted me. It was Krystal.

"Where am I?"

"You're in the hospital."

I looked around. "Tiffany... where is Tiffany?"

"Huh?"

"Tiffany. She was there. She came for me and Kyu."

"What do you mean, Yuri-yah?"

"She-- she saved us."

She then smiled bitterly, "She never came." She stood up and went to the door. "I'll just go tell the nurses you're awake." And left.

What's wrong with her?

"It wasn't Tiffany." a female voice snapped. I gazed to my right and found Jessica leaning on the wall beside the window. She continued, "It was my sister that saved you."

"I... I don't understand. I saw Tiffany. It was Tiffany."

"Sadly, it was not."

"..."

"..."

She went near and held on my forearm. "I'm sorry, Yuri. I shouldn't have pushed you to approach Tiffany in that club. I never thought this will be the outcome in opposing Uncle Henry."

"No. It's all my fault... I shouldn't have gone that far. I only made Fany and Sunkyu's lives in danger... Wait." I looked at her. "Where's Sunkyu? Is he okay?"

"Yes. He's resting in the other room. Yoong's there too, looking out for him."

"I see." I tried to stand up yet, she halted me.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"I have to see him."

"You still can't walk. Just stay here."

"Please, Jessica. Let me--"

"I brought a wheel chair." Krystal suddenly snapped from the door. She smiled at me. "I know you want to see Sunkyu badly."

"Thanks."

*At-Room-309,-Choi-Medical-Center*

"Thank goodness he's okay." I said as I held Sunkyu's hand.

"Good thing he was only shot below his right rib. No internal organ has been damaged." Yoong said. "He already woke up three hours ago, by the way."

"I see..." I gazed at the three. "Thank you guys so much for helping us."

"It's all thanks to Krystal-noona." he responded. "If it wasn't for her, both of you would have been dead by now."

I looked at Krystal. "I'm sorry for mistaking you as Tiffany. My mind was too clouded that I thought it was Tiffany who came for us. I'm so sorry."

She smiled and answered, "No need to be, Yuri-yah. I totally understand."

I then snapped, "Wait. I forgot to ask... how long has it been since we were admitted in this hospital?"

Yoong answered, "It's already two days since Krystal-noona found you and Kyu at your unit. We all thought you'll be in coma or something since it's been too long."

Jessica asked, "Yuri, are you sure you clearly remember everything about you right now?"

"Err-- I think so...? One thing I just didn't seem to remember is uhh..." I looked at Krys.

She smiled again, "That's just normal, Yuri. Usually, the last memory is affected on serious cases like yours."

Sica butted, "Thank goodness. I thought it will be another amnesia episode again." And she animatedly wiped imaginary sweat on her forehead.

Yoong chuckled, "You're talking as if you aren't the one who had amnesia the last time."

She glared at him, "Shut up!"

"I was just kidding, baby."

"YURI!!!!!!!!!" someone shouted from the hallway. Few seconds later, dad popped out from the door and rushed towards me. Then, he hugged me so tight. "YURI!!!"

"Dad-- you-- can let go-- now-- it hurts--"

Yet, he ignored me and continued, "YURI MY BOY, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE FINALLY AWAKE! I THOUGHT YOU'LL BE DEAD! I WAS SO SCARED!" and he cried.

"He will be dead any minute now if you continue on strangling him, Mr. Goo." Jessica snapped in a pretty much dark tone.

Dad finally let go of me and looked at Jessica. He chuckled, "As serious as always... just like your mother."

"I take that as a compliment. Thank you, Mr. Goo." she responded blandly.

"So, any news on how we can point out Sir Henry for this case, Sir?" Yoong asked him.

"Oh. That... Still none. The usual, Henry's too good in hiding his tracks so well. CCTV cameras, black boxes... there's no trace of him. It's like he never really did go to Yuri's place that day."

"Wow. He's good." Yoong mumbled which had us looked at him. From how I see it, it seems he's admiring him or something.

Then, he finally snapped out from his thought, "This is hopeless, hyung. We have no choice but to kill him first before he can kill you."

Dad chuckled, "Boy, how can you say that casually?"

"Well, it's just-- uhhh... But we can do it the same way he did." And he smirked darkly. "Quick and clean, absolute zero percent trace."

Dad looked at him in disbelief. Then, he snapped, "No. We will not play his own game. And I do believe that's a thing anyone of you should never try. Or else, you might end up just like him."

"Like him?" he repeated in question.

"Yes. One forever drowned in hatred."

"But that's just unfair." Sica butted.

He continued, "Kill him, hurt him, blackmail him, all of those will never work. We have to play by the law."

She then suddenly scoffed, "Now, what? He can just kill someone any time he wants and we can't because of your stupid law?"

"Like I said, Jessica. You should never put the law on your hands. If you seek revenge, do it the right way. Don't let that hatred of yours consume your whole self."

She shouted angrily, "Do it the right way?! . Did you really think the ing law can help us all in this?!"

"..."

"Yuri lost his everything because that ing psychotic guy could not be punished by the law! What's worse? He's still out there living his life in bliss!"

"Jessica."

"Oh you want more? How will you explain about what happened to my life then? My father lost his freedom just because of a guy who ing played the law and bent the truth. If that didn't happen my mom would have been alive 'til now!" Tears started to fall from her eyes.

"..."

"You don't know how hard it is. So, don't you ever tell me what I should do." she ended and walked out.

"Jessica!" Krystal shouted and followed out.

Yoong was about to walk out of the room too when Dad suddenly chuckled. Yoong and I looked at him in confusion. He then noticed us then said, "Jessica sure reminds me of my younger sister."

"Younger sister? You mean, my mom?" I asked.
