𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙔 // Chou Tzuyu

Hospital - Chapter 6

Nayeon POV.

After a couple of minutes driving, the hospital was finally in sight. When the van parked, no one hesitated leaving out. Usually if we were out in public like this, we'd try our best to not be recognized by anyone, but we didn't care. Right now, what matters is Tzuyu's wellbeing.

"Haaa haaa." I panted.

I wiped the slight sweats forming in my forehead that formed due to me and the members running.

"Where's Tzuyu?" Asked Sana, who was also out of breathe.

Jihyo straightened her back, while taking a deep breathe. "Lets go to the front desk to ask."

As we went to the front desk to ask for assistance, I could hear people whispering around us, no doubt recognizing us.

As the oldest unnie of the group, I stepped up to the front desk. "Excuse me, may we know what room Chou Tzuyu is in?"

The lady infront me, gave me a look of suprise, before replying. "Chou Tzuyu? Ahh...Let me check."

The lady typed something in the computer for about a minute, before giving us the answer we wanted. "Chou Tzuyu is currently in the the operation room, undergoing surgery."

"Surgery...?" I whispered. The thought of Tzuyu undergoing surgery horrified me. Actually, the fact that we are even talking about Tzuyu's life, even when she's so young, horrified me to no end.

After receiving which operation room Tzuyu's in, I thanked the lady, and we all headed out, looking for the operation room our precious maknae's in.

Finally, after yet again, running to the operation room Tzuyu's in, we finally had a moment of rest. But only our body had a moment of rest, as our minds were still a reckless mess.

"Haaa..haaa..." the members, including me, panted, as we sat on the chairs near the operation room.

I looked at the big door that holds Tzuyu's life, and the sudden thought of Tzuyu suddenly leaving us to go to the other world, popped up like an annoying whac-a-mole machine.

"Aahhh..~" I silently sobbed.

Jeongyeon, who was next to me, patted my back with no words. I looked at her and saw that she was crying as well.

I hugged Jeongyeon like theirs no tomorrow, and released all the sadness I felt.

"Waaaahhh!~" I cried out loud, while I hugged Jeongyeon tightly.

"There there." Jeongyeon sobbed, as she patted my back.

As I broke free from our hug, I looked at how the other members were doing.

Momo and sana were holding their hands, as they cried. Dahyun and Chaeyoung were crying out their hearts as they hugged their purses. Mina was crying silently, as she clasped her hands together and prayed. And Jihyo had her head lowered to the ground, clenching her fists, crying.

I felt bad for Jihyo. As the group's leader, she probably felt responsible for what happened.

But, I had my own guilt too. I'm the oldest unnie, and as the oldest, I should have taken care of our maknae. But instead, I was ignorant, and because of my ignorance, Tzuyu's life could be snatched any moment.

My heart clenched even more, as even more tears flowed out of my my eyes.

About 2 hours passed, and that meant 2 hours of distress for us. Everyone, except for me and Jihyo, were asleep.

"Jihyo-ah. You should rest a bit." I told her.

Jihyo, with a sad gaze, looked at me and smiled. "There's no way I can sleep, unnie. Besides, you should get some sleep too Nayeon unnie."

I looked at Jihyo with a tired look, and softly smiled. "I can't sleep for the same reason as you, Jihyo-ah."

After a minute of silence between us, Jihyo gave a long and tired sigh. "Do you think Tzuyu's ok?"

I bit my lip, before I looked up in the ceiling. "She's Tzuyu. Knowing our maknae, she'll fight through everything that gets in her way. So I'm sure she'll be ok knowing her."

Jihyo smiled, as she looked at the door infront of us. "Ofcourse she will. I have no doubt." She said, determined by her words.

As me and Jihyo were slightly comforted by each others words, the light sign above the door lost its opaque red color. My eyes widened as I stood up right away. Jihyo also stood up, and we both looked at each other with wide eyes.

A doctor came out of the door, holding a clipboard in his hand. Me and Jihyo immediately rushed to the doctor, hoping to know more about Tzuyu's condition.

"Doctor, how's Tzuyu?" I asked, hopeful for any good news about our youngest member.

The doctor fixed his glasses, before looking at us in the eyes, with a serious look on his face. "Well Tzuyu...she..."

And my heart dropped.
