Chapter 20

Before I'm Gone

"I had a lot of fun today, thank you" I told JB, as we stood in front of the door at my house.

We all had left the beach around 9pm and now we were at my place.

"No problem" He said, going in for a hug.

We broke apart and ours eyes locked.

He slowly began to lean and I leaned in the rest of the way. Our lips connected but for only a few seconds.

The both of us were still a bit shy with each other, so neither of us could look up.

"Im gonna go now" JB smiled and pointed to his car.

I nodded and watch him walk away.

"JB..." I called him as soon as he reached his car.

He turned around a little too quickly, like he didnt want to leave himself.

"Um, do you want to come in for a while?" I asked him.

He nodded his head and quickly walked up to me.

I opened the door wide enough for the both of us to go in.

I closed the door behind us.

"Come on" I grabbed his hand. "I want to show you something" 

I pulled him past the livingroom and dug through my keys again.

I took out my 'special' key and opened the door.

JB slowly walked inside.

"Omg, what is this?" He asked.

"Its Sangwoo's sacred place. He comes in here when hes stressed and just wants to get away for a while. I though you might like this place and I want to hear your voice some more" I handed him the microphone.

"Right now?" He asked.

I nodded my head and sat down on one of the chairs in the room.

JB plugged his phone in the aux cord and a song began to play.

The song was in korean so I couldnt understand what he was saying, but he sounded so amazing.

We made eye contact as he sang the song to me and I wished so bad that I could know what he was saying.

He neared the end of the song and I stood up and clapped for him.

"Im serious about you singing professionally" I told him.

"But then that'll mean less time I get to see and spend with you" He said.

I was smiling like an idiot and he pulled me in for another hug.

He leaned down to brush my cheek, before connecting his lips with mine again. At first the kiss was soft, like he didnt want hurt me but then I began to kiss him back and he reacted by pushing me against the wall.

I was taken by shock and I laughed.

JB took that oppurtunity to run his tongue across my bottom lip and I opened my mouth to let our tongues explore each other. 

I ran my fingers through his hair, as he pulled me closer before we pulled away to catch our breaths.

"Wow" I said.

"Yeah. Wow" I heard and stumbled back.

"S-Sangwoo" I stuttered.

"What are you doing in here!?" He yelled at me.

"Im sorr-" 

"Why would you bring someone in here? I gave that key to you and only you" He cut me off.

"I didnt think you would mine" I said.

"Well I do, so now you know" He finished.

"Again, im sorr-"

I stopped talking when I felt an emmenced amount of weight on my shoulder.

I looked over and JB had fallen on me.

"OMG!" I yelled, once he had completely fallen over.

I couldnt catch him, but I was able to cover his head before he hit the ground.

"Sangwoo! Help me!" I tried picking him up.

Sangwoo came to my side and picked up JB over his shoulder.

"What's wrong with him?" He said.

"Idk, lets just hurry" I said, as we ran to the front door.

"OMG I forgot he was sick!" I said, once he was in the back seat.

I stayed back there with him while Sangwoo started the car.

I held his head in my lap as I began to cry.

"Please dont be dying. Please dont die on me" I ran my fingers through his hair as I was crying hysterically.

I reached for my phone that was in my pocket.

My hands were shaking as I tried looking through my contacts.

I put my phone up to my ear.

"Hello?" Henry sounded peppy.

"H-Henr-r-y J-JB" I couldnt get my words out.

"Whats wrong with JB" He asked, now panicked.

I took a breath to control my speech.

"JB collasped on me" I managed to get out. "Has this happened before? Is he dying!?" I asked him.

"Omg, where are you? I'll leave now" He said.

"We're headed to the hopsital right now. I'll call and let you know the room number" I said.

"O-Ok. I'll see you in a bit and im sure he'll be okay" He hung up.

"Please go faster Sangwoo" I said.

"Im trying, im trying!" He said, eyes focused on the road.

Within 10-15 minutes, we were at the hospital.

Sangwoo picked him up over his shoulders again, and we ran to the front desk.

"Please help. He collasped" I said, as soon as we entered.

Nurses came running to us and helped Sangwoo put JB in the wheelchair and they pushed him away.

I tried to run with them, when I was called back.

"Ma'am" The receptionist called me over.

"We need some of the patients information" She said.

"Okay, but I dont know much" I told her.

"Whatever you can give will be appreciated" She smiled.

"Here's an english form for you" She handed me the paperwork.

As if just on time, I saw Henry run inside the lobby.

"Henry!" I called him over, and he ran up to me when he saw me.

"I need you to fill this out" I handed him the papers.

"This is his brother" I told the lady.

"Okay" She smiled.

Henry filled out the paper as quickly as he could.

"Here" He said, handing her the paper.

"Thank you. Your brother is in room 1738-"

She didnt even finish her sentence before Henry ran to the elevators.

"17th floor" She finished saying to me.

"Thank you" I thanked her and tried to catch up to Henry.

I saw him go inside an elevator and I quickly ran through it as the doors were closing.

We stood in silence as the elevator went up, and I realized that I was still in my bathing suit and shorts but I didnt care.

Once the doors opened, we both ran to room 1738.

Henry opened the door and inside stood Sangwoo, the Doctor, and JB, who was laying on the hospital bed.

"Thats his brother right there" Sangwoo told the Doctor.

Henry and I walked inside and the Doctor began to ask Henry a few questions.

"I need to speak with you" Sangwoo said, walking outside of the room.

I followed behind him and shut the door on my way out.

"What made you think it was okay to let someone in my sacred place?" He asked me.

"Really Sangwoo! Right now, really?" I half yelled.

"If not now, then when?" He used the same tone back at me.

"Idk, maybe when I figure out whether my boyfriend is alive or not! Maybe then" I said.

"You know, you sure have become a different person since you started dating him-"

I cut him off.

"We havent even been dating a month! What do you mean, why is everybody saying that!" I yelled.

Some of the nurses walking by with their patients looked at us weird.

"What happened with Ari huh? You dont even talk about her anymore and I heard about what happened with you and that boy, Changbum. And have you even called your parents since you've been here?" He asked.

"Ari and Changbum are just jealous, and dont you get involved with my parents and I business. I talk to them every single night for your information. I dont need you acting like my father, how many times do I have to tell you that?" I said.

"As long as you're in this program and living under my roof, I am your father!" He yelled.

"Then maybe-" 

"Dont even finish that sentence" He cut me off.

"Just stay here for the night and come back home tomorrow when you're in a better mood" He said, and just walked away.

I had to wipe away the tears that had started up again.

I stayed outside the room for a few more minutes until I felt that I was ready to face the truth.

I put my hand on the door handle and started to twist it, when the door shot open.

I came face to face with Henry.

"Good you're still here, he's awake and asking for you" He said.

I ran into the room and saw JB laying down, proped up on the bed.

He took a look at my swollen face and immediately sat up.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Me? Im okay. Its about you, are you okay?" I tried my best to smile.

"Im perfectly fine" He said.

"Dont sugarcoat JB" Henry said.

"He passed out from heart issues caused by stress and overworking himself" Henry looked at me.

"Yes, you need to take it easy from now on" The Doctor told him.

"He can leave after the pills kick in" The Doctor told Henry.

"Okay, thank you" Henry thanked him and the Doctor left.

"Im so happy that you're okay" I said, grabbing JB's hand.

"Is Sangwoo outside?" Henry asked.

"No, he left" I said.

"So do you need a ride home?" He asked.

"Um, I actually need a place to stay tonight. Can I stay with you guys-"

"Of course you can" JB answered a little too quickly.

I looked at Henry for the final say.

"Definitely" He said.

"Thank you" I hugged him and walked over to JB.

I sat down next to him and we waited for his medicine to kick in.
