Chapter 35:

On the Edge

The drive to the hospital takes 30mins in normal driving but the group shaved 15mins. And drove there for just 15mins, At the most. Hae Jin who accidentally intake a vanilla extract suffered to a severe reaction.

“Move!”-Jun Pyo shouts at the nurses who were as shock as Jan Di and the other girls on the situation they are in.

“Give me the shot now! Hurry~!”-Ji Hoo orders one o the nurses for the anti-histamine shot

“Sunbae, shouldn’t she intake it?”-Jan Di asks in confusion

“Injecting it directly to her bloodstream will be making the medicine work faster for her”-He explains as he gently injects Hae Jin. His passive impression now gone.

“Let’s move her”-Ji Hoo asks the other nurses to help transfer Hae Jin to cleaner room environment

“Song Hae Jin! Gwenchana?!”-Woo Bin frantically asks the still unconscious girl on the bed

“Woo Bin-Sshi---.”-Jae Kyung tries to comfort the guy who has been cursing the whole time

“How can uncle prepare something that could cause Hae Jin like this?”-Yi Jeong whose expression is sullen and quiet, even the bubbly Ga Eul couldn’t make him calm…

“That’s because he hasn’t change a bit! That’s what!”-Jun Pyo shouts at nobody as he kicks one of the chairs

“Yah! Gu Jun Pyo! Settle down she’s resting…”-Jan Di slaps Jun Pyo and yells as quiet as possible while pointing at Hae Jin who’s now resting comfortably

Ji Hoo who’s been quiet ever since they settled Hae Jin on one of the private suites in the Hospital used only for special circumstances like this… He randomly checks again Hae Jin’s pulse and breathing, then her skin for visible rashes… as he finishes, he moves forward to the group.

“Sunbae? Will Hae Jin be okay?”-Ga Eul wraps her arms on her chest as if getting ready for the news, her boyfriend Yi Jeong stands besides her putting his arms around her

“Yoon Ji Hoo, how is she?”-Yi Jeong now cool headed asks

“There are still visible rashes on her necks but they’re slowly fading... It’s a good thing we shot her immediately with anti-histamine immediately or it could’ve been worse than this…”-Ji Hoo explains as he takes of his glasses and puts it on his chest pocket.

“She’ll be fine”-Ji Hoo adverts his attention to Woo Bin whose eyes focus on his shoes

“No one could’ve foreseen what happened”-Ji Hoo puts hind on Woo Bin’s shoulders trying to ease his guilt

“We should let her rest for now--- let’s leave”-Jun Pyo suggests as he grabs Jan Di’s hand to exit the room

“No, I’ll stay until she wakes up…”-Woo Bin rebuts as his eyes falls at the sleeping angel

“Then I’ll join you, besides I got nothing to do anyway; how bout we’ll get a bite then come back huh?”-Jae Kyung stares at Woo Bin as she tries to convince him to follow her, since she knows the man barely touch his food earlier at their mansion.

The group talks a bit more then they decided to go home for now to cool down, Yi Jeong offered Ga Eul a ride back home. Then Jun Pyo asks Jan Di to return with him to his house since his mom called for it, jae Kyung was able to convince Woo Bin to come with her to the nearest Café.

As for Ji Hoo, he declined the invitation of Woo Bin and Jae Kyung to come with them… and pretended to do rounds with the other patients but in truth he only wanted to look after Hae Jin himself only.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile at the Café

When they arrive inside the café, they immediately sit next to the glass window and waited for their order to be delivered---

After a moment of awkward silence~~

“Everything’s going to be fine, she’s stronger than you thought”-Jae Kyung says as she touches Woo Bin’s hand that’s on top of the table…

“You’re only saying that to make me feel better”-Woo Bin coldly replies and withdraws his hand from her

“So what if I did?”-Jae Kyung tries to keep her tough expression even though she felt step aside from his acting towards her

“You--.”-Woo Bin was cut off as he stares at Jae Kyung’s face that’s full of worries

“From what you’re acting, I know she’s you little sister… but i—I’m your girlfriend, don’t you think I worry too…”-Jae Kyung stutters throughout her words and stops talking as Woo Bin reaches for her hand and smiles at her

“Mianhe, I’m too insensitive again…”-Woo Bin now loosens up because of her, and welcomed the aroma of the freshly brewed coffee as they enjoy their snack together…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back at the Hospital…

.Ji Hoo again checks her stats and thoroughly checks the administration of her medicine not leaving anything out~~ after almost 30mins of observing, checking and making sure everything runs smoothly he leaves her for a moment, and went outside to the reception area.

While Ji Hoo’s gone for almost 20mins, Hae Jin opens her eyes slowly and blinks them multiple times and must’ve felt weird to be on a unusual atmosphere and sleeping on a unfamiliar bed, as she tries to get up... her eyes meet a bouquet of somewhat look like newly picked White roses ~ she picks it up and smells it, welcoming the scent to her nose then sneezes! She finds herself amusing…

As she settles down the flowers back to the counter beside her bed she stares at the needle injected on her wrist which connects to somewhat dextrose… she was about to slowly take it off when the door of her opens~~

“You’re awake!”-Ji Hoo immediately went to her side and cheeks her again and this time after he did, he suddenly hugs her tightly..

“Mianhe~~ for worrying you”-Hae Jin whispers through his ear, as he lets her go. She burst into a giggle which made him confused as to why

“Thanks!”-Hae Jin excitedly exclaims as she stares at him

“For what?”-Ji Hoo

“For everything, and for the beautiful flowers”-Hae Jin says as she points at the bouquet on top of the counter

“Flowers?”-Ji Hoo tilted his head and stares at the flowers and he could’ve sworn he didn’t bring them nor he saw anyone came in or out beside him from her room

“You still remember I love white roses? You’re really capable as a boyfriend you know—hehe.”-Hae Jin smiles brightly at him and when he was about to say he didn’t bring it, he just forgets about it instead…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Outside the Café…

After they paid for their snack at the café the unlikely couple got out and since the café is just across the street they just stood there while the streetlights are green---

“Wow, I’m stuffed.. let me buy some canned ice coffee for Ji Hoo-Sshii”-Jae Kyung bubbly offers as she tip toes to the nearest vending machine next to the café itself, while Woo Bin stands—

“Jamkamman”-Woo Bin exclaims as his eyes follow a figure coming out of the hospital, it’s…

“Aniya, it couldn’t be—.”-He mumbles

“Couldn’t be what?”-Jae Kyung asks as she over hears him mumble to himself

“Nothing…”-Woo Bin defensively answers and grabs Jae Kyung to cross as the streetlights went red, indicating it is safe now to go across the street…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the Hospital…

As Woo Bin turns the knob to Hae Jin’s room, Hae Jin’s giggling voice was heard immediately as they got in and Woo Bin’s eyes almost popped out off excitement as he runs to his sister and hugs her tightly

“Oppa! Can’t breather here--.”-Hae Jin exclaims since she really can’t breathe because of his hold, then he eventually lets go

“Aigoo! Pabo! How can you eat something that’s bad for you huh!”-Woo Bin starts to scold Hae Jin

“Yah! How can I know it was vanilla huh? I didn’t think father would forget that”-Hae Jin pouts as she rolls her eyes at him, then Woo Bin’s face went back to his worry expression

“What if he didn’t forget?”-Woo Bin states as he stares at Hae Jin seriously

“What do you mean?”-Hae Jin confusingly asks

“Like he purposely did it, I mean”-Woo Bin answers coldly

“Song Woo Bin!”-Ji Hoo tries to get in the middle

“Here me out here! I think it is much more safer--- for you to not show yourself”-Woo Bin hesitatedly suggests

“Uhmm, okay.. anyway he doesn’t know I’m staying at Ji Hoo-Oppa’s house”-Hae Jin innocently answers

“I mean--- leave, Hae Jin… go back”-Woo Bin’s eyes now fell to the floor

“What? I’m sorry I thought I just heard you---.”-Hae Jin

“You heard me, you’ll return to New York by tomorrow”-Woo Bin summons is courage to look at Hae Jin’s eyes who’s now glossy, looking about to cry

“Oppa, there’s no need for rash decision here.. it was just an accident that’s all, I promise I’ll be more careful huh? Okay?”-Hae Jin tries to convince Woo Bin whose eyes just staring at her blankly

“She’s right Woo Bin-Sshi, it was nothing--.”Jae Kyung buts in

“Nothing?!! She almost died because of that NOTHING!”-Woo Bin now furious

“So what are you saying? I just got back, and now.. you want me to leave?? Leave you?!”-Hae Jin now shouts back as she lets her tears flow, Ji Hoo secondly thought if he’s going to interfere or not…

“It’s for your safety!”-Woo Bin insists

“Andwae! I’ll be more safer here, with you.. Oppa, Jebal.. please”-Hae Jin begs at Woo Bin

“Mianhe, Hae Jin-ah… you’ll get the first flight out”-Woo Bin insists again

“Bwo? I hate you!! You don’t love me at all!! Get out!”-Hae Jin now delivers burst of anger

“Hae Jin-ah..”-Woo Bin’s words who tries to calm her doesn’t help at all

“Get out!! Now!”-Hae Jin wraps herself in a ball hugging her knees and face buried onto them…

Jae Kyung grabs Woo Bin and drags her out of her room---

Ji Hoo tries to approach her

“Don’t--- I don’t want you to see me like this”-Hae Jin sniffles and tries to talk

“How can I not come to you, like this?”-Ji Hoo sits beside her and wraps her with his arms making her lean to his chest…

“I—I don’t want to leave Oppa…”-Hae Jin whispers

“If it’s your safety---.”-He Stops

“Are you willing to leave me---..?”-She nervously asks as she makes fists and crumples his shirt with her hands and her head still leaning on his chest, tears staining his shirt

“I will endure anything --- for ---your—safety”-He finishes his sentence with a hesitant voice, as he closes his eyes trying to calm himself down and stop his tears coming out----

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile…

“Are you crazy?”-Jae Kyung shouts at the confused Woo Bin as soon as they got out of the room

“I don’t care of you call me crazy!”-He shouts back

“You know how much she suffered for 10 years without you, living in a foreign country and you’re kicking her out?!”-Jae Kyung hurtfully yells at her idiot boyfriend

“You think I didn’t suffer all those years?! I had to bed cautious calling her to see how she’s doing and get paranoid to hell what she’s been up to! Not being there whenever she needs her Oppa to protect her! At least this time I can do something!”-Woo Bin rebuts

“She needs you now--- she needs you to protect her here… she needs her Oppa as her strength, she doesn’t need someone who gives up when the battle just began”-Jae Kyung kneels down in Woo Bin’s level and sits next to him on the floor of the hospital’s corridor right outside Hae Jin’s room

“I don’t know what else to do---.”-Woo Bin closes his eyes and couldn’t control his emotions, letting his tears show, letting the new side of Woo Bin’s vulnerability show now—in front of the person he loves too…

“Araso--- we’ll get through this--- trust me”-Jae Kyung hugs him as she whispers to him…
