I Want You [HaruKyu FF]

Chapter 34

Haruto POV

I stood there. Disoriented.

Everyone around me moving so fast, yet it looks like they're moving in slow motion.

Those doctors in white robes shouting and yelling. Nurses in their blue scrubs scurried back and forth, pushing and dragging machines with them. There was a young woman standing by the counter, tapping her hand on top of it as she aggressively talked with a male nurse. A guy, probably in his 40s, was sitting on a bed with disheveled shirt and tie dangling loosely on his neck, staring absentmindedly at the curtain in front of him. An elderly couple sat side by side, holding hands in their own bubble, didn't seem to get fazed by the commotion.

And there was a kid. A boy, a seven year old boy, crying in the corner by himself, staring at me behind his tears, trembling lips, and shaking shoulders. I raised my arms, signaling him to come, and not to be scared. He took a step forward in hesitant, doubting whether he should come or not as he hastily wiped his tears. I smiled, encouraging him to continue.

"Chairman Kim." Someone called. I looked to my side and saw the hospital director bowing along with a bunch of other people bowing behind him. "We are deeply sorry for what happened to Mr. Kim and Miss Juria. We will do our best."

I ignored him and turned to look at the boy again but he was no longer there. I searched around, taking a few steps closer to where he previously at. "Kid.." I murmured, confused with his sudden disappearance.

"Sir, Miss Juria is losing too much blood. She's on transfusion." Dr. Nam cut in my path. "The baby's heart getting weak. We should do emergency delivery to save both the mother and the baby."

"Oh." I replied and walked past her to find the boy but another person in white coat stopped me again. It was Dr. Jang, our family doctor.

"Haruto-ssi, there was no major external injury on Junkyu except for bruises on his head. We suspect a closed brain injury. But we need to do CT scan for further examination." He said.

"Oh." Was all I said before I continued walking.

"Sir, we need your consent to send Miss Juria to delivery room."

"We weren't able to tell how severe his brain injury is. But you should be prepared for the worse."

The two kept talking while I spun around to search for the boy. My eyes darted across the emergency room, trying to catch his presence. More people in scrubs and white coats came, surrounding me with their cases, early diagnosis and stuff. They talked louder and louder. My ears buzzed with their voices.

"Prof. Jang, patient have seizure!" Someone shouted.

"Dr. Nam, patient's pulse rate and oxygen level dropping! We are losing the baby!" Another voice shouted.

Everyone scrambled off, clearing the space around me. And I saw the boy again, standing arm away before me. He was no longer crying. He just stared at me without expression.

I fell on my knees and bent my head down with hands on my thighs. My shoulders shuddered as I felt hot tears forming in my eyes. "I did it again..." I breathed a shaky voice.

I saw the boy's legs moving then I felt his arms around my neck. "Oh. We did it again." He said, hugging me. "We took another life before they got to breathe fresh air." I gripped the sides of his t-shirt. I held onto the seven years old version of me as tears flowed down my face.

First my sister, and now my daughter.. I killed them.. I killed them...

"Haru..."

I heard a faint voice calling my name.
