This is what we really need [JENSOO]

A look into the past

-Father?

Jennie froze in a nervous stupor, it seemed to her that there were too many impressions in life lately. And she was also worried that she did not know this man, and he never visited Jisoo, because Mr. Hwang himself assured that only the mother came to the girl, who after a while also stopped doing it. Therefore, the younger Kim could not be sure that he could be safe for her patient.

-Yes. - Mr. Kim nodded, looking at the young girl in bewilderment.- Is there a problem?

-No, no, I'm sorry.- Jennie hurried to recover, waving her hands and pulling a fake smile on her face, she seemed to be getting sick with trust, too.- My name is Kim Jennie, I am temporarily the attending physician of Jisoo.

-Oh, what a miracle that you came to me.- The man smiled broadly, which made Jennie feel a little relieved.- Kim Davon. Can I... see her? I've been looking for her for so long, we haven't talked for so long. If anything, I will provide my passport, she is listed there as my daughter.

-It's okay, calm down.- Kim said softly, noticing that Jisoo's father was getting nervous.- I'll take you to her room, and... nice to meet you.

They approached the stairs together and began to climb up in utter silence. Davon no longer looked so intimidating to Jennie, but she decided that she would be in the ward during his meeting with her daughter in order to protect Jisoo in case of anything. Before my eyes flashed how yesterday the girl turned to her in a low voice before falling asleep, so the younger Kim decided to start a conversation when she and Mr. Kim entered the corridor of the third floor and headed for the right door.

-I have to warn you, Jisoo... is not quite okay. Although, if it were otherwise, of course, she wouldn't be lying here, just ...- Jennie was trying hard to find the right words.- She... may be indifferent, and she also only spoke to me yesterday... after four years of silence, but I'm not sure that she will talk to you, because she did it in a dream...

-Six years?!- The man froze in place, staring at Jennie in surprise.- How long has she been lying here?

-Since she was twelve. It turns out that it's been twelve years.- Kim herself finished the sentence in a rather doomed voice. 

-My God, but... why is she here?

-She killed... her grandmother. Honestly, I don't know if she had any motives, or if she just wanted to.- Jennie chattered, trying not to scare Mr. Kim too much.- I was at her house, and her mom... looked suspicious. Don't get me wrong, she's your wife...

-Ex-wife.- The man interrupted, clarifying.- She is to blame for the fact that I could not communicate with my daughter for many years.

-Oh, I'm sorry.

-It's okay, don't worry about it.- The man smiled at her encouragingly.- Now I have an even stronger desire to see her, so let's go as soon as possible.

***

Jisoo opened her eyes shortly after Jennie left the ward, feeling that the warmth and comfort surrounding her all night had suddenly disappeared. She looked longingly at the empty area next to her, but smiled when, after passing her hand, she felt the sheet still warm under her palm. She sat up in bed, touched her lips with the pads of her fingers and blushed a little, realizing that Jennie was not a dream or a hallucination of a sick mind, there was a badge lying on the floor, fallen off from the robe. The eldest Kim picked it up and ran her eyes over the letters.

-Kim Jennie.- She read aloud and was surprised herself, feeling like a child who had just learned to speak.- Jennie.

The girl put the badge on the bedside table, made the bed and went to the closet to change into short sports shorts and a large T-shirt soon, because the July day promised to be really hot, and there was nothing to breathe in the ward anyway. Opening the window, Jisoo sat down on the bed again, she should have eaten, but there was no appetite from the word at all, so she just continued to collect a huge puzzle recently presented to the younger Kim, and looked up at the door when she heard it open.
