XIV - Letting It All Out...

June 21
Hospital - 16:30

Ever since the thought entered my head, it never left. My soulmate saw me, and now he knows a lot.

'Is the world against me or something?'

My father and my older brother, my mom once, then my little brother, now my mom again, along with my soulmate.

I couldn't wallow in pity for as long as I wanted to since the doors to the hospital burst open, my soulmate running through with Mingi not far behind him. I just stared at them blankly, watching as they sat on either side of me, neither of them saying anything. I was thankful for that, my mind wasn't working properly enough for conversation anyway.

We sat in silence for a while, my head resting on my soulmate's shoulder and my hand fiddling with the holes in his jeans. I sighed and it seemed that was the confirmation Mingi needed to start talking.

"Have you heard anything yet?"

"No."

"Damn... I'm gonna go to the bathroom quickly, will you be alright?" I nodded, not really paying attention as Mingi stood up and left. I sighed again and hid my face in my soulmate's shoulder.

"I know right now isn't the best time but..."

Yet another sigh escaped my lips. "I know what you mean." I sat up and looked him in the eye, holding out my hand. "My name's Jung Wooyoung and... This is what I look like, I guess..."

He gingerly took my hand and gave me the softest smile ever. "It's great to officially meet you, Wooyoungie. I'm Choi San, and you're beautiful," He giggled.

"Thank you, Sannie." I smiled. The first real smile in a while.

My head fell back to its original place on San's shoulder and I fell back into a mindset. The smile on my face was gone now and we fell into an odd silence. Even when Mingi came back, we didn't speak. We all just listened to the sounds of the hospital.

The nurses and doctors shuffling around, talking to patients' friends and family. The clicking of the receptionist's keyboard as they typed away. Faint voices down the halls and people muttering quietly as they, too, sat in the waiting room, wondering if they'll receive good or bad news.

Mingi shuffled around next to me and San sighed heavily.

Then the doors burst open again. This time Yeosang and Yeonjun came through with two unfamiliar boys behind them, along with Changbin and Felix. Yeosang immediately came over to me and kneeled down in front of me. He carefully took one of my hands and examined my face.

"Bubs?"

"He hasn't said anything this whole time." San muttered.

Yeosang frowned at that and shook my hand a bit. "Hey. Woo-" He gasped quietly and I quickly hid my face in San's chest, twisting away from everyone. I didn't even realize I was crying at first until a sob tore through my throat.

Seeing Yeosang and Changbin and Yeonjun just made everything real, like it wasn't before. It all hit me like a full speed train.

San's arms wrapped around me and Yeosang ran a hand through my hair. My whole body shook as my cries racked through it. I gripped San's shirt and just cried harder, everything that's been bottled up since that morning all coming out at once.

When I tried to form words, all that came out were pathetic whimpers and whines. Yeonjun came over and placed a hand on my shoulder, shushing me gently, trying to help calm me down.

"I-I don't k-know what t-to do-" I managed after a while, "I-I'm so scared I might l-lose her- I CAN'T LOSE HER! S-she's all I h-have left..."

"I know, Bub, I know..." Yeosang whispered, wrapping his arms around me as best he could.

I felt San lean back and his hand drag around to wipe away my tears. I leaned into his touch and finally processed the amount of people around us.

"Who the hell are those two?" I sniffled lamely, pointing to the boy next to Yeonjun and another boy a bit farther back.

"That one with black hair is Seonghwa."

"This dumbass next to me is Beomgyu." Yeonjun grinned, wrapping his arm around the shoulder of a boy with light brown hair. Beomgyu just simply rolled his eyes playfully.

"Right... Your soulmates..." I sighed, wiping my nose on my sleeve and sitting properly. "What a lame first meeting."

Seonghwa smiled sadly while Beomgyu just grinned.

'Weird kid-'

We fell into a soft chatter after that. I learned a few things about Seonghwa and Beomgyu. Seonghwa has a friend who works at an auto body shop and for some odd reason, that boy hates the idea of finding his soulmate. The boy also makes music for fun on the side, but has never actually released any of it. Seonghwa is in some of the songs, apparently.

I learned that Beomgyu and Yeonjun's friend, the one who paired them together, is named Soobin. He apparently has two soulmarks and has found one of his soulmates but not the other. The one he found is named Taehyun, and the best part is, Taehyun also has two soulmarks. They think all three of them will be soulmates.

That's really rare, having more than one soulmark. If there's three of them and they're all soulmates, that's even more rare. It'd be pretty cool if that happened.

The soulmarks Soobin and Taehyun share are on their left shoulders, Soobin literally has a chipmunk and Taehyun has a nut. A fucking nut. I definitely laughed a little at that. Soobin's other mark is a freaking carrot on his right palm. Taehyun's other mark is a bee under his right ear.

Such odd soulmarks. Although, to be fair, my soulmark basically predicted my future, so I can't say much.

Then I thought for a moment.

"Seonghwa hyung, what soulmark does your friend have?"

He shrugged. "No idea. He refuses to show me. Guess he's afraid I might possibly know his soulmate or something."

"Ah." I paused. "Wait a frick-frack-fucking minute- Where's Jjong?"

"Jjongie? His parents stole him from my house last night and brought him to Busan," Yeosang sighed, "It was something to do with their company, I guess."

"Oh..." I pouted and whined, "I want Baby Jjongieee-"

"'Baby Jjongie'?" San mumbled.

"Jongho~ He's the youngest in our group, so we call him Baby Jjongie."

"He hates it-" Yunho's laugh was interrupted when a doctor came near us, their shoes thumping heavily against the linoleum floors.

"Is there anyone here for Jung Miyeon?"

Immediately, I stood up, all the previous lightheartedness from before slipping away.

"S-She's my mother..."

Dr. Kim Liam, his name tag read.

"I'm sorry, boy, but you won't be able to visit your mother anytime soon-"

'What...?'

"-she's going to be in the ICU for a while..."

My heart felt like a deadweight just lying there in my chest cavity.

'ICU...'
