Chapter 64:

“Hang On”

COTINUING FROM PREVIOUS CHAPTER…

“I said where’s my brother?!”-Hae Jin shouts….

Then the doors to the emergency room opens and a doctor came out and taking off his mask.

“Anyone next of kin of the patient present here?”-The doctor says as he puts his mask to his chest pocket and lowly taking off the gloves

Hae Jin instantly runs to the doctor

“I’m his sister”-Hae Jin says almost out of breath

“May I speak to you privately miss?”-The doctor asks Hae Jin with an eyebrow raise

Hae Jin looks at the others and knows what she must do

“No, it’s okay… everyone here are family. They deserve to know as much as I am”-Hae Jin says trying to keep her composure straight

“I understand. Everyone, I must tell you… Mr. Song now is battling for his life, he’s lost a lot of blood and broke his lower ribs and he suffered few dislocated limbs. I do not want to assume---.”-Doctor

“Then don’t…. please…”-Hae Jin says tears gathering on her eyes shaking her head not wanting to hear that her brother will leave her as well after their father’s passing

The doctor nervously coughs and runs his hands to his hair

“We will do our best Miss, first we will need blood… to transfused him with, he has AB+  it’s a blood type that we’re having a problem on getting… the storage has been scarce on that type.”-Doctor continues

“I can donate… I don’t know my blood type actually but I’ll get a test”-Hae Jin says

“We’ll take the test as well”-Says Jun Pyo while wrapping his arms on Jan Di who’s still obviously worried

“I’ll arrange that immediately and the best thing you can do now is to pray and to not lose hope.”-The doctor throws a warm smile to the group.

“We’ll be transferring him for a while at the ICU for a 24 hour observation, after getting the result we’ll start the transfusion immediately.”-Doctor

“Can we see him?”-Jae Kyung who’s been awfully quiet from the whole ordeal moves a step forward

“Well…”-The doctor second thought the whole thing

“Please doctor… even if it’s just one of us”-Hae Jin says then

“Jae Kyung-unnie can go”-Hae Jin squeezes the hand of Jae Kyung giving her an assuring smile

“Okay… but it has to be quick”-Doctor finally says

“Are you sure? I mean-…”-Jae Kyung protests at first but got cut off when Hae Jin pulls her into a tight hug

“It’s okay… he needs you too…please tell him to fight, unnie… for us, for you and for himself”-Hae Jin whispers to Jae Kyung, and abruptly Jae Kyung broke the embrace giving off a shock look

“How---…”-Jae Kyung

“I may be below the lines but I’m not stupid”-Hae Jin shakes her head and smiles at her

“Whenever you are ready Ms. Jae Kyung”-Doctor says

“Okay…”-Jae Kyung hugs Hae Jin briefly one more time before leaving the rest

AT THE EMERGENCY ROOM…

Jae Kyung’s POV

I walk slowly my steps counted, the noise on every thud of my heels to the ground are the only thing I can hear. The blab of the doctor walking ahead of me are insignificant to me as of the moment, as I walk through a room and I can see through the window… him there lying at the hospital bed, being supported with instruments…

My heart constricts and I felt like I died a thousand deaths at the image of him there, suffering, fighting, on the brink between life and death… I shake my head refusing my fear to get the better of me…. I step into a hospital gown and wore a mask and gloves to avoid contamination, as I am being ushered by a nurse inside the room where he lies…

My heart sunk as I get to see him closer, this time I can clearly see the damage those bastards did to my love’s beautiful face… his arms are covered with visible dark bruises, his face unrecognizable…

I stifled in a sob and tears can’t stop from flowing… as I reach for his hand and intertwine them with mine…

“Your hands are a bit cold Woo Bin-Sshii…”-I sob through my words as I rub his hands on mine to warm them, kissing his knuckles softly…

Have you ever thought of settling down?

Those words he told me….

“Woo Bin-Sshii… please… please come back”-I hold his hands to my cheeks

“Come back to us… come back to me please… your question--.”-I sniff in my sobs as bit my lower lip

“Yes… I would love that… I would love to settle down with you Song Woo Bin…”-I said in between sobs

“So please wake up… and reclaim me… I am yours and as so you’re mine”-I said proudly giving a weak smile

“Baby, fight… this is nothing… nothing at all, you’re Song Woo Bin”-I said giving him assurance or anything just to get him back and for some dumb luck or pure miracle his hand I’m holding twitches

“Woo Bin-Sshii?!”-I stood up and look at the window, and in brief seconds the doctor and some nurses came in checking him

“Whatever you’re doing miss? Don’t stop… he’s fighting, and this is a good sign”-The doctor says and I know that there, he will not leave us… I know in my gut that he’ll come back for his sister, for his friends and for me.

After a brief 15 minutes with him I left the room and steps out from the hospital outfit and leave the emergency room after thanking the good doctor for letting me see him…

OUTSIDE THE EMERGENCY ROOM…

As I step out the room everyone stood up from where they sat

“How’s he doing?”-Says the worried Hae Jin

“What does it look like in there?”-Says the distraught ever best friend Yi Jeong

“What did the doctor say?”-Says the passive Jun Pyo

Bombarding questions thrown immediately while the rest stands patiently

I raised my one hand to calm them then

“He’s doing a bit better… I think… and the doctor says he’s responding well from the surgery and we’ll need to just wait”- I said keeping myself not to cry hideously in front of them, I somehow found myself staring at my hands fidgeting

“What is it?”-Says Hae Jin as she grabs my hands looking at me in the eyes

“His fingers twitched…”-I said and I can hear scattered gasps, and Hae Jin’s eyes went teary again

“I know… he’s still there fighting to return to us”-I immediately hug Hae Jin and buried my face on her neck.

The rest of the day we spent at the hospital taking turns on providing blood samples to test, in order for us to donate blood for the blood transfusion of Woo Bin.

We all decided to hang out at the private lounge of the hospital where personal friends can spend some lone time…

Ga Eul who’s been quiet and now recovering from the crying earlier is sitting with Yi Jeong, her head on his chest while he pats her head. Jun Pyo sits next to Jan Di, both hands intertwine with each other; Jun Pyo rubbing Jan Di’s knuckles with his fingers not taking off eyes from each other. Ji Hoo on the other hand brushes Hae Jin’s hair as she lies down comfortably putting her head above his lap both occupying the sofa across Ga Eul and Yi Jeong. I myself try to drink the coffee in my hand sitting at a single chair near the sofa where both couples Jun Pyo and Jan Di, Ga Eul and Yi Jeong sit.

The brief peace of heaven we had broke when Jun Pyo’s phone rings disturbingly…

He fishes his phone then…

“Yobeoseyo… Hang on wait… Mwo? You found her? Where? Araso... I owe you big, and him? Perfect… thanks, good... Good bye”-Jun Pyo hangs up the brief cryptic phone conversation

“Guys, they found her… she’s outside, and they found the location as well”-Says Jun Pyo looking at the other two guys, Ji Hoo shifts his seating which caught Hae Jin and she stood up. Yi Jeong shifts as well and Ga Eul moves away for him to stand.

“We need to go then”-Says Yi Jeong

“We’ll be right back… we just need to do something okay?”-Says Yi Jeong to Ga Eul and it took a moment before she smiles warmly and fully understood what they’re about to do

“We won’t be long…”-Says Jun Pyo to Jan Di who looks about to protest but decided not to, gives him a kiss on the cheeks and the guy smiles warmly at her

“We need to tie up some things… look after them”-Says Ji Hoo to Hae Jin, she wasn’t going to let go his hands but they need to leave, so she lets go but not before a tight embrace.

As they nod at me in understanding, as they’re about to leave

“Guys?”-I said out of the blue

All looks at me

“Get the son of a b** and don’t let them escape”-I said with gritting teeth

“We’re not planning to”-Says Jun Pyo with a promise and they a left

END of Jae Kyung’s POV

OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL…

“Ready?”-Says Jun Pyo

“More than ready”-Says Yi Jeong as he fishes out a pair of leather gloves and slips them on his hands

“Those are Woo Bin’s?”-Asks Ji Hoo

“Yeah, thought he might feel a bit better me using this”-says Yi Jeong

“Annyeongseo Maam”-Says Jun Pyo to the old woman seated next to driver seat of his car

And all three drove their respective cars….
