Taking care

Let it go

Days passed and Eunji has not waked up yet. It's her 6th day.

"Eunji noona. Please wake up. I have lot things to tell you. I want you to be the first to know. I want you to be there when I sign the contract. Please noona. " Ha Neul visited her again. He was crying gripping Eunji's hand. Then he felt something. He stared at Eunji. "Noona?" He felt it again. A gentle squeeze in his hand. "Eunji noona?" Eunji slowly opened her eyes. "Oh my God! Noona!" Ha Neul ran out of the suite and informed the nurses at the station. He came back gasping. "Noona!" he can't help but cry as he hugged Eunji.

But Eunji was motionless and just stared at him.

The doctor came. "Jung Eunji, can you hear me?" the doctor asked but didn't get any response. "Jung Eunji, can you see my fingers?" he waved 2 fingers infront of Eunji but still no response. "I'm setting her up for further examination."

"I'll call Ha Eun noona." Ha Neul bowed.

 

"Her vital signs were normal. Nothing on her MRI and EEG. The crack on her skull is fine. We cannot see any damage connection or abnormalities in her brain as well. Looking into it looks like a lock in syndrome." the doctor explained.

"Locked in syndrome? What is that?" Jung Ha Eun asked.

"This is a rare neurological condition. The person is totally paralyzed except for the eye muscles, but remains awake and alert and with a normal mind. Doctor Kim's diagnosis may be right but Eunji's not totally paralyzed. This may be a temporary locked in. She's totally fine. As a psychiatrist, Eunji don't want to come back. She locked herself in. Her post traumatic stress disorder might have something to do with it. I am still looking unto it." Dr. Lee explained.

"That's one thing we are considering. This locked in, maybe a psychological effect and if it is, it will be easier for her to come around." Dr. Kim addded.

"Auntie, was her post traumatic stress disorder really that bad?" Ha Eun  asked Dr. Lee.

Her aunt nodded. "She didn't want anyone to know it. She had one in Singapore and passed out in the street. She's lucky someone saw her."

"Dr. Lee, we have to discuss her situation. I have to make rounds. If you can join me for lunch."

"I will." Dr. Lee answered.

 

Eunji was discharged and was confined to her apartment. The doctor said she's is fine with everything. Her sister came and lived with her. Jiyong became a constant visitor. He never fails to drop by every after his schedules. He spends hours talking and taking care of  Eunji. Sometimes he even sleeps over if he's tired to go home.

Christmas day passed by and still no changes from Eunji's condition.

 

"Hyung, how was Eunji?" Seungri sat beside Jiyong.

Jiyong sighed. "No improvements at all."

"How is she doing? Can I go see her?"

"You can come with me tonight. It might help." Jiyong answered.

"But hyung... Are you really... I mean... Eunji noon never liked you. How did ... are you really dating?"

"It's complicated V. And yes we are dating." Jiyong said to shut  the maknae.

"But Eunji noona... Hyung..."

"Cut it out Seungri," Taeyang intrrupted the two. "You've been with Ji for years. You should know why."

"hyuung," Seungri whined. He can't believe it when  Jiyong suddenly announced to the members that he's dating Eunji. He can't understand. Although Jiyong told them about his break up with Kiko he didn't expect his hyung to be dating Eunji right after the break up.

"Hyung," Seungri turned to Taeyang.

"Later VI," Jiyong said to stop Seungri from asking more question.

"Can I come and see her?" Seungri held to Jiyong's left arm.

"I'm going to see her from here. You can come. It might help if she sees you." Jiyong nodded. "Bae, about the final.." he was interrupted by the ringing of his phone. He can't ignore that tone. He specifically set the ringtone for a certain person. "Ha Neul-ah,"

"Hyung! Noona passed out. I just called 911. They're on their way."

Without saying anything, Jiyong grabbed his purse and ran out of the studio. "Ha Neul-ah, I'm driving to her apartment right now. Call me again when the paramedics arrives. Is Ha Eun noona there?"

"She left this morning to check on the business. I will call her after I hang up."

"Thanks Ha Neul. See you in a bit." Jiyong hang up and revved out of YG. 'Please. Please. Eunji.' he prayed hard. As soon as he merged into the highway, there was a heavy traffic. It's impossible to reach Eunji's house in 30 minutes. He screamed every foul word he can think of.  "Ha Neul?" he called Ha Neul again.

"Oh hyung. Ha Eun noona's on her way. She called their doctor. She's on the way as well."

"Where are you?" Jiyong voice were all worried.

"I'm still at her house. The paramedics said I can't come because I'm under age. I am going home in few minutes."

"Oh... Ha Neul. Thank you."

"You take care hyung." Ha Neul hang up.

Jiyong gripped the the steering tightly. "Eunji...Please....be okay.." he was all desperate. Frenzied by fear that he'll lose Eunji. He checked his rear and side mirror. The traffic's moving slowly. He did not realize that he was already crying.

He was in the freeway for more than 20 minutes when the CEO called him.

"Jiyong, where are you? Taeyang said you rushed off earlier. Jiyong if you're planning to go to the hospital. I'm begging you not to."

"Hyung,"

"Jiyong, let's be reasonable here. If you go there at this point. People will talk. Go home and I'll find out about everything." the CEO calmly said.

Jiyong breathed deeply. "Okay. I'm going to stay in her apartment."

"Do you want me to send Sol to accompany you?" the CEO asked.

"I think I'm okay," Jiyong rejected the offer. "I'll call her sister as soon as I arrive in her apartment."

"Again. Jiyong. Do not show yourself in the hospital." The CEO was firm.

 

 

Jung Eunji's passing out was not something to be alarmed. The paramedics brought her to the hospital. She was in deep sleep. There were no findings about brain swelling or damage. She was just into deep sleep. 36 hours later she woke up like a normal person who just woke up from a normal sleep.

She was advised to take it slow. Refrain from working physical work. No stress.  No pressures. Take a lot of rest. Her company gave him the time she needs to recapurate..

"Eunji-ah, this is important. You can't stress yourself. The crack in your skull is fine but we can't risk it. Ahm, I don't know what you can remember but ... you remember Kwon Jiyong? Gdragon?"

Eunji looked at her aunt and then to her sister. She nodded.

"We didn't know you two were going out."

Eunji's eye brows raised. She was about to say something but stayed silent. She still have to piece things together. What happened while she was in coma.

"We're not going to ask you about your relationship with Kwon Jiyong but uhm... he suggested that you stay in his place. As your aunt, I  have to agree. I mean, you have Ha Eun but she can't be traveling from Seoul to GwangJu everyday."

"Auntie, I...." Eunji wanted to protest. How did the sneaky dragon manipulated her family to agree to get her live with him. She just smiled.

"Eun Ji-ah, Jiyong said he'll come and pick you up tomorrow. I don't know anything about him personally but seeing that you both made it to hide it from us... I think I can trust him." her sister crooned.

All Eunji could do was nod and agree with all the plans. She has lot of question but the warning from the doctor of overstressing screamed in his mind. One more thing is if Kwon Jiyong told her family that they were dating, she had to go with it for now. She'll have all the time to interrogate Jiyong later.

"Thanks auntie. Hmmm about the ..." Eunji can't brought up what she wanted to ask her aunt.

"PTSD? I'm not sure if you're okay discussing this. Let me know if it gets too much. Jiyong told  us.."

Eunji interrupted. "I remember everything. I went to say hi to Haru. I rushed to the washroom and I guess that's where I passed out."

Dr. Lee nodded. "You're memory's fine then. Do you remember where you first met Kwon Jiyong?"

"In Japan."

Dr. Lee nodded. Jiyong told them how he met Eunji. "Have you ever been to his place?"

"Twice."

"How about s? You are you most close with?"

"Seungri."

"Bestfriend? Where did you met?" Dr. Lee continued to ask question.

"Lee Chan Young. Since intermediate to college."

"Does Park Ha Neul rings a bell?"

"Oh... sweet  and kind boy at the orphanage."

"I can see that your memory's perfect. Kwon Jiyong will be here tomorrow. Again, don't pressure yourself thinking."

Eunji's eyes twitched. Her memory's perfect. She remembers everything but how in the world did she ended up dating the dragon. She knew that they were not in good terms. They always argue every time they meet. She even swore not to cross path with Kwon Jiyong after the incident with Kiko. But Jiyong was persistent to the extent of going to her house. She even confessed he liked her.

'wait! Did I have a memory gap? Did something happen in between his confession and my accident? But he confessed like two weeks ago. I knew it because that's when I went down to the orphanage.' Eunji wondered. "Oh...When do I have to see Dr. Kim?"

"You're fine. I'll just have to monitor your progress with your PTSD. I think that' the major cause. I hope moving in with Jiyong will help." Dr. Lee answered.

 

"Kwon Jiyong, are you out of your mind?" the CEO was scolding him.

Jiyong insisted that he will bring Eunji and take care of her in his house. "Hyung, it was my fault. Everything. If I didn't blackmailed her to do the project, none of this could have happened."

"Blackmailed? Kwon Jiyong!" the CEO was shouting out of madness. "Do you even know what you were doing? You blackmailed her to do your concert and then now? Kwon Jiyong you disappoint me."

"Hyung, I was despe... hyung, please I wanted to make up."

"Jiyong this is a family matter. We can't do anything."

"Hyung, I like her. I think I fell inlove with her. I told her family that we are dating." Jiyong had no choice but to tell it to his CEO.

"You..Whaaat??!" The CEO got up and lost it. "Kwon Jiyong! You're out of your mind. Telling it to the family with out the other party's knowledge? What happens now? You think Miss Jung would just accept it like that? You know her better. Oh my God! kwon Jiyong! You're not thinking."

"Hyung, her family agreed already. I just have to have your permission so it won't shock you. I'm picking her up later."

"You've gone mad." the CEO stated. He released a heavy sigh. "Jiyong, you realized that this will be a huge scandal once it gets out."

"I know. I am ready for it." Jiyong bravely answered. "I want to take care of her before we get back to the tour."

"Alright. Does your member knew about this?" the CEO asked.

"None of them know yet. I'll probably invite them to come over as soon as Eunji settled in."

The CEO nodded. "How is she?"

"According to her doctor, she's fine. She just need rest and refrain from pressures."

"That's what I am saying," the CEO started to get worked up again. "Jiyong, you've been fighting with each other. How do you think this will work?"

"Hyung, I am trying. Please. I feel everything was my fault."

"I'll come and visit her one time."

"Thank you hyung." Jiyong bowed and left.
