Livin' With The Stray Kids

Chapter 29

Ji Yung stood there crossing her arms while the doctor checked Minho's heart rate, she had minimal expression on her face. The members were inside the room too, silently waiting for the doctor to speak. The atmosphere was tensed obviously, and they had all gotten an explanation about how Minho ended up like this, but they were yet to listen Jisung's part.

"Okay....." She sighed and spoke, "I think this is because of a very heavy consumption, and the side effects were difficulty in breathing. Usually, this drug is used to make the person nauseous. They'll hallucinate in these conditions and will have little control over their body and mind. I already gave him the medicines which will drain out the drug from the body but he needs 24 hours of rest strictly. And also when he wakes up, he won't be able to move his body without feeling pain. I'm sorry but that's the best I can do. Prescribing him more medicines can make him unhealthy, also lessen the fast food intake if any, tell him to eat healthy."

The doctor explained as she got up, putting her belongings in her case as she bowed to Ji Yung before leaving the room. 

"Where's Jisung?" Chan asked as he looked at Ji Yung.

".....He went back. To Malaysia." Ji Yung responded as she handed Hyun Gi the prescribed list of medicines.

"WHAT-"

"I'm sorry, I know it's shocking but....." Ji Yung trailed off and then she told them everything.

"And you let him go? You didn't bother to tell us? Or maybe you think that you can do anything you want." Hyunjin questioned in a heavy voice, boring eyes into Ji Yung's skull. "The moment you came here, problems started arising."

Ji Yung's head immediately turned to him. "what....?"

"Hey, hey.....what are you saying...." Chan said in a soft voice, trying to calm Hyunjin. "She literally helped us so much and-"

"But that doesn't change the fact that all the problems have been coming for us since she came here." Hyunjin's harsh tone really did hurt Ji Yung a lot. She looked up at him, her face turned dark and sad.

"Yah....yah....I know you are stressed out by everything but don't take it out on her. Don't forget the fact that she has helped us out of trouble." It was Changbin who now stood up for Ji Yung, and had a serious tone to his voice.

Hyunjin inhaled a sharp breathe, before leaving the room.

Ji Yung looked down on her lap. Was he right? Maybe instead of fixing things I made things worse.

"Everyone.... I....I think you can leave and go rest now. I will look after Minho and see if he wakes up, okay?" Ji Yung looked at the tired boys, who were obviously drained out from the recent situations.

Ji Yung was sitting in Minho's room, waiting for him to wake up. The members were gone by now and Ji Yung was alone, the voice in her head that was repeating itself again and again.

"The moment you came here, problems started arising."

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she shook slightly, letting out low sniffles..

"Why- a-m I-I crying f-for stupid..Hy-unjin?!" She stuttered and asked herself. "Ugh....I h-hate hi-m" she sobbed. Look, Hwang Hyunjin managed to make me cry again. She thought as she quickly wiped her tears, and saw someone holding out a tissue. She quickly looked up to find Chan, standing infront of her, giving her a comforting smile.

"Just take it." He said as he sat beside her. "Ji Yung?" He asked and she looked at him, curious about what he's going to say.

"Yes?"

"Do you ever wonder that...." He echoed. "Italy is shaped like a boot but Italy is older than boots so......are boots shaped like Italy?"

"What?" Ji Yung looked at him, and he was already looking at her. Soon they started laughing at each other.

"This is your way of comforting me? Such a bad joke." She said between her quiet laughs.

"I mean...." He shrugged as Ji Yung hit him lightly on his arms.

Hyunjin felt guilty as ever now. He sat in his room comfortably, and was lost in thoughts. He was rude to Ji Yung. Really rude. And it really hurt Ji Yung this time because he could see it on her face.

She had helped him so much, when she merely came here as a CEO, on her first meeting, she has trusted Hyunjin enough to know his innocence and then she handled the press conference that day all by herself. And yet he told her what? That she was the cause of all his problems?

"I'm.....such an idiot." He cursed under his breath. Hyunjin was mad at himself because he took out all his frustration on her. Ji Yung. That name always reminded him of the same person some years back who actually betrayed her, who harshly without no second thought, didn't even hesitate to break his heart.

He hated Ji Yung so much because she made him feel so many butterflies, he felt like cloud nine around her, and it made him frustrated because every time someone else came close to her he felt insecure. He was too selfish and he couldn't help it.

Where would she be right now? He thought.

Lee Ji Yung, I'm sorry. No wait, this would sound too rude. Ji Yung-ah, I'm sorry. Too casual? He shook his head. Ji Yung-ah I'm sorry for acting that way, I was out of my senses that time and.....he tried to figure out the next words as he walked towards Lee Know's room but he stopped midway.

He saw through the window, Ji Yung and Chan, their face lightened up as they were laughing at something.

He sighed. What was I even thinking? I'm not that important for her to be affected by my words.
