Sweet Melody || Taennie [Completed]

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

TAEHYUNG

After that kiss in the garden, I thought everything will be fine. I thought Jennie would feel at ease and her disease won't be triggered, but I was wrong. Sunday morning RM called me saying that Jennie was in the hospital, she got a heart attack. I can't go inside to check since I'm too afraid to face her at that time. I'm a coward, especially at times like this.

Days passed and she's still in a coma, her heartbeat went back to normal but she's still not awake. The doctor said that there's a possibility that she won't wake up anymore so we must brace ourselves. Her parents cry every day, there were darker shades in their elliptical pair. I know it's hard for them to see their daughter lying on the bed unconscious.

It's been a month and Jennie was still asleep. I told her parents that I'm going to stay with her tonight so they can rest for a while. I want to talk to Jennie even though I know she won't hear a thing right now. They said that it is a very effective way to wake up a person in a coma, so I'll try my luck.

I brought her guitar and two notebooks with me. I was right, the lyrics of her songs were written separately from the chords. I learned how to play the whole song in one month but I wasn't sure if I'm in the right melody. That's why I wanted to play it for her today, and ask if I did a job well done, but I know she won't answer.

"Jennie, wake up." My tears rolled down when I opened my mouth. My voice was cracked and I couldn't speak another word. "I miss you."

Our teachers were worried about her, and Lisa just recently found out about her disease. They visited Jennie last week and wished her well. The school has another event and there's no ace to participate that's why they remembered her. They also wanted to get Jennie's composition notebook and give it to others so that they will have a participant but her father refused. It's hers, and no one will sing it until she says so.

I positioned the guitar in front of me and wiped the tears in my eyes. I'm willing to sing again Jennie, just for you. I'm willing to do everything, just for you. I don't care if I'm being too dramatic in front of her right now, this is what I feel and I can't control it.

I strummed the guitar as I sniffed simultaneously. I remembered when I told her that I want to distort her life, it's my way of saying I like you and I want to remain involved with you. Jennie took it as negative not knowing that it was a confession. She's not allowed to love, she's not allowed to open her heart to anyone and she's not allowed to be genuinely happy because that will cause excitement in her system.

"Jennie, we're going to perform before the school breaks. Aren't you going to watch me sing? I'll sing your song if you wanted me to," I said then hold her hands. It's still warm and soft, just like the first time I hold it. "Wake up, please. We badly miss you."

I strummed the guitar again and swallowed the lump in my throat to clear my voice.

"I will never let you fall, I'll stand up with you forever." I started singing the chorus part of the song. This should be our entry last battle of the bands but they changed it to the last minute since I wasn't around and guitar played the big part in that song.

"I'll be there for you through it all." I looked at Jennie, who's still asleep right now.

"Even if saving you sends me to heaven." I'll take a risk this time, Jennie. I'll the risk for you.

"It's okay..."

"Don't." My eyes widened when I heard her speak.

I immediately called the doctor when she spoke and slowly opened her eyes. Her vital signs are good and I hope she's okay now. I also called her parents and they were so thankful to me though I didn't do anything. She's just tough enough to fight her disease.

"She's so strong than I expected." The doctor complimented her but she's just looking at me with innocent eyes.

The doctor called Jennie's parents to his office and RM left the room to give us space. I turned to her and she never took her eyes off of me.

"I'm going home, you should take some rest." I smiled and gently kissed her forehead.

I was about to go out when she suddenly spoke, "You're a great singer, Taehyung."

My mom also said that I'm a great singer and I'm just afraid to show off my talent. I just don't like to sing, but I'll do it only for her.

"Can you sing my composed song too?"

I turned to her and she was smiling now. I could say that it was a weak smile and she's trying to look fine right now. I nodded at her and gave her a thumbs up.

Once I exited her hospital room, tears formed in my eyes again.

Finally, she's awake. What's next, Taehyung? I asked myself as I leaned on the door. I looked above to prevent my tears from rolling down. Few steps to go, and she'll be okay.
