I love you.
At first, Chaeyoung couldn't quite figure out what she was hearing. The line from the other side went dead just a second ago and, frankly, she didn't know what to react to when she heard Jennie's voice quivering and hoarse as she spoke from the other line. "Chaeyoung... Jisoo, she... Just come to the Seoul National University Hospital, please. Please Chaeyoung. Please. I'm sorry."
It was a brief phone call between two friends, and the way Jennie's breath had become audibly ragged on the phone somehow made Chaeyoung feel anxious. Jennie has always been known for keeping her composure in any situation, but today, Jennie is different. Jennie was panicking and the thought of the feline eyes panicking, shivering, and quivering in her feet made Chaeyoung stand abruptly in her seat and ran to her car. Her heart was pounding constantly as if she was in an important race. Chaeyoung knew she shouldn't let the assumption get the best of her, but she couldn't help but lose herself and think about it. She hoped Jisoo would be okay.
The moment Chaeyoung took off from her car. Chaeyoung abandoned everything in her car and ran to the entrance only to be greeted by the sight of a doctor performing CPR on the unconscious patient. Aside from that sight, there were people groaning in pain, some were crying, and there was blood. Blood was just everywhere: on the wall, the floor, and on their bodies. The sound of chatter, shouting, and groans of the patients was enough for the hospital to turn into something chaotic and Chaeyoung could not help but feel anxiety heightened inside her.
Jisoo. Jisoo. Jisoo.
Chaeyoung's mind was chanting the raven's name as she moved her legs and roamed her eyes around the area. Cold sweats were now forming on her forehead; her breath had become ragged, and her baby hair was stuck on her forehead. Chaeyoung's stomach was twisting in anxiety when she realized there was no sight nor trace of Jisoo around the area.
And just like that. A brunette wearing nothing but casual clothes stained with blood came out of the area. Her eyes were red from the tears and when she glanced over to where Chaeyoung was, she walked, her heart pounding constantly and said. "Chaeyoung."
Chaeyoung turned. Jennie's tired feline eyes flashed before Chaeyoung.
"Jennie... Are you okay?"
Jennie pursed her lips, trying to hold her tears back, and crookedly spoke. "I'm fine."
Chaeyoung didn't really believe her.
"Where's Jisoo?"
Jennie stiffened and Chaeyoung noticed that. Suddenly, Jennie glanced away for one second and turned to Chaeyoung with emotions that Chaeyoung couldn't grasp and said. "Can we talk somewhere?"
Without waiting for a reply, Jennie turned her heels. She knew Chaeyoung would follow and she was right. The journey to nowhere with Jennie in the lead had somehow made Chaeyoung feel her chest tight. The area was filled with patients accompanied by nurses and doctors, although not all of the patients were attended to. The hospital staff were outnumbered and just by looking at the situation made Chaeyoung feel desperate to see her wife. She needs to see Jisoo. She needs to know if she is fine.
"Jen? I don't really know where you're taking me, but I need to see Jisoo." Chaeyoung said. Her voice was filled with anxiety.
Instead of hearing a reply from the feline woman, Chaeyoung received nothing and when they finally arrived at the wing garden area, Jennie had finally turned her heels. Her lips were pursed and her body was tense. It looked like she was afraid of something, and Chaeyoung was really starting to get frustrated with the stress of not finding Jisoo.
"So, where's Jisoo?"
And there she was again: Jennie once again stiffened. Chaeyoung noticed this and, instead of sliding it off like before, she spoke. "Jennie?"
