"so since you woke up earlier then we expected you to, we have to run a few more tests, just to make sure you aren't going to go straight back into a coma." Jaehwa nods, glancing at everyone in the room, trying to see who had stayed with her.

"when will that happen? can't we give her a bit of time? to at least recover from just waking up?" Jaemin asks, crossing his arms across his chest.

"For sure, but tomorrow is the latest, we have to monitor her brain activity, and also get a CT scan to make sure the bleeding has really come to a stop. Jaehwa, how are you feeling?" The teenager swallows, trying to put some type of liquid into her throat.

Yihwa notices this, grabbing a water bottle, and handing it to her sister, "drink up." Jaehwa grabs the bottle, carefully drinking from it.

She clears her throat, and hums a note, trying to see if her throat would work, "hello? okay. um, i'm fine with whatever, as long as i stay awake." The doctor nods, grabbing the chart from off her bed.

"The earliest I can schedule your CT scan is today, at around 8pm, is that okay for you?" Jaehwa nods, looking around the room once more, "Where's Logan?" The room goes silent.

The doctor clears his throat, flipping all the pages on the charts back to the first. "I'll leave you guys alone for a bit." The doctor bows to the people in the room, making sure to lightly shut the door behind him.

Jaehwa looks around again, counting everyone in the room. Jaemin. Jumin. Yihwa. Seokhoon. Mom. Everyone important to her at the moment. "Where's Logan?" She tries to sit up, but Seokhoon stops her, wanting the girl to calm down.

"Honey, Logan isn't with us right now." Her mom said, causing Jaehwa to chuckle, "yea I can see that, that's why I'm asking about his whereabouts." Jaehwa looks at everyones face, slowly figuring out.

"You don't mean..." Jumin and Jaemin were the first to break eye contact, not wanting to see their little sister break down.

"You guys are kidding right? He's actually right outside the door, in a wheelchair, just like how i'll be for a few days, right?" Seokhoon sighs, leaning in to console her, but Jaehwa didn't want to be consoled.

She wanted to hear the hard truth, from any of them. She wanted to hear it, even though it would hurt, "just say it..."

"Jaehwa, Logan didn't live past the explosion." Mama Lim finally spoke up, trying to keep her voice quiet.

"okay." Jaehwa lifts up the hospital blanket that was placed on top of her, trying to keep her emotions intact.

"Jaehwa?" The teenage girl hums, keeping her cries to herself, "Are you sure you want to schedule your CT scan for tonight?" You could see the blanket move from side to side, indicating that she didn't want to.

"Do you want anything special to eat?" The blanket moves in the same way, her mother nodding.

"Okay, do you just want to stay like that?" The blanket nods, everyone in the room staying silent.

"It's ok to cry, we are all here to hug you." She brings the blanket down, and you could barely see the red in her eye, but it's still there, signaling the irritation from her tears.

"Can I go back to sleep?" Jaemin looks at his mother, which also makes everyone else look at Mama Lim.

"If you want to, I think you'll be fine." Jaehwa nods, slouching into the hospital bed.
