Ara's eyes slowly fluttered open a few hours later. She felt exhausted, dizzy, nauseous and just overall terrible. Her stomach felt like there was someone sitting on it, her throat felt all sore and her hands were a bit shaky as well.
She sat up with the help of her hands and leaned back against the headboard, trying to recollect what happened earlier. She didn't really care she just wanted to remember if she got Taehyung angry or not.
Taehyung enters the room with a bottle of hot water. As soon as he saw her awake, he puts the bottle on the night stand and rushes to her, embracing her in the warmest hug. "Dada!" She hugs him back immediately.
"Baby... are you okay? Do you feel sick?" He asked worriedly, cupping her cheeks. She nods "I-I don't feel good dada, I-I feel dizzy and nauseous"
He sighs and joins foreheads with her "You'll be okay... I was so worried when I saw you faint, I thought something extreme happened to you"
She smiles weakly and snuggles in his embrace "I-I'll be fine if you're here"
He lift her chin up and placed a soft peck on her lips "Are you not mad at me for not believing you?" He asks, sadness visible in his eyes. She shook her head and hugged his arm "Never ever, I was being stubborn too... so I guess we're even"
"But dada... what happened to me?" She asks curiously.
"You were poisoned, food poisoned. Something you ate earlier today must've had some unsafe, illegal chemicals intentionally added into it. Did you eat anything that wasn't packed by our maids today?" He asks.
She thinks for a second, recollecting everything she's eaten in the past 24 hours. "T-the chips!" She exclaims, finally realising what happened. "Who gave them to you? Tell me their name right now" He demands.
"S-some girl named Hwang Soojin" She replied. "Hwang Soojin? Baby why would you get involved with her?" Taehyung scolds. "Why not? Who is she?" She asks, confused. Why did Taehyung scold her right away?
"Hwang Soojin, she's your cousin sister" Taehyung says, sighing. Ara's eyes widened "C-cousin? How? Appa said I don't have any family besides him!"
"You really believe everything that old man says? He would hide many things from you so he can do ridiculous acts like this. You wouldn't have let her approach you if you knew she was family, right?" He asks to which she nods.
