Red Hope! || OT7 x Black OC

Part 5

The doctor had suggested me to stay in the hospital for three more days and to take rest for the whole week even when I go home. The seven boys had made a schedule to meet me one at a time throughout the week. That sounded alright to me since I wanted to know them individually and talking in a group did not allow much opportunities.

Day 1: Hoseok knew the steps too...

I was lying on my hospital bed. Hoseok had been sitting next to me on a chair while humming a song that sounded familiar to me. "What is this song?" I asked.

"Tightrope by Michelle Williams" he replied, "do you remember it? It was your favorite song to do ballet on."

"It rings a bell." I said.

He smiled at me and said, "I can't wait to see you do ballet again." I smiled back. I couldn't wait to do it too. I wanted to know the feeling of dancing again.

"Oh, don't make that face." Hoseok pouted.

"What face?"

"That Smile-through-the-pain face. It hurts right here." He put his hands on the left side of his chest to indicate his heart. The cute faces he was making were enough to melt my heart away and I laughed. This time it was genuine.

"Get up." He said, "I don't think anyone's coming to check on you now."

I did as he asked me to. He turned on the song I knew so well on his phone and came toward me. He took my hands in his. Then, we started to move along the music. We danced and danced. I closed my eyes to feel every beat. Hoseok didn't need to lead me. I already knew every step of it.

The song ended. I opened my eyes and stared into his, breathing heavily. We were standing too close to hear each other's heart beating, fast but rhythmic.

Day 2: Jungkook spilled the truth...

Jungkook was complaining an awful lot about how he had missed half of the day because his hyungs had made him go to the school.

"It's okay." I said, "We still have enough time."

"We have time, though," he said in an annoyed voice, "but not enough."

I had been pondering over the fact that Jungkook had stopped going to the school since I was in a coma. That sounded like we were very close. Hesitantly I finally asked him about it.

Jungkook's face turned red as he shook his head slowly.

"No?" I asked, "Then why would you stop going to the school?"

"Don't you know about the accident?" he asked in a serious voice.

What could the accident had to do with it? I was told that I was hit by a car and ended up being in a coma. But nobody gave me any details about it.

"What about it?" I asked.

"It was supposed to be us." He said, his voice sad, "me and the boys."

"Supposed to be?" I was confused.

Jungkook explained how they had been drunk that night. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have ended up the way I did. Jungkook's eyes were filling up with tears.

"Come on, Jungkookie!" I tried to cheer him up, "I must have cared for you enough to have save you like that."

"Yes, you did." A tear fell from his eye, "Only we didn't do the same."
