I look at EunWoo's glossy eyes with a shocked look.
"That's why I failed to show up for our meeting," he admits looking down with a stressed and anxious look drawn on his face.
After my appointment with Yoongi, I immediately went home feeling tired. But as soon as I arrived, I received a call from EunWoo where he asked if he could urgently meet with me.
So I invited him here to my apartment, and what he had just told me left me speechless.
Not knowing what to say to comfort him, I lay my hand on top of his shoulder and began to caress it slowly.
"Take it easy, everything will be fine, okay? Don't think negatively," I say after a minute of silence.
The first stifling silence I feel around EunWoo, a strange feeling.
He lifts his head and attaches his sad look to mine.
"I really want to think like you right now but it's just hard," he confesses with a sad smile.
Seeing him like this breaks my heart.
"Have the doctors said anything to you?" I ask already expecting a negative answer upon seeing his expression change.
"They said she suffered serious injuries to her back," he informs me, rubbing his hands together in nervousness.
"How serious?" I ask again in a hesitant voice.
He lets out a heavy sigh and replies.
"She could be paralyzed for life, in fact she is still in a coma."
Upon hearing his statement, I swallow noisily in concern.
And here I thought he had stood me up because he forgot about our appointment, but apparently the situation was worse than I thought.
"I never imagined my mother ending up in a car accident. It is so sudden that I still can't believe it," I hear EunWoo whisper as he stares into space.
After a few minutes of silence, we decide to change the subject and talk about something else despite the difficult situation.
We end up talking for another few minutes, which turns into an hour.
As soon as EunWoo realizes that it is too late, he decides to thank me for listening and distracting him momentarily and leaves, assuring me to give me news about his mother.
As soon as I close the door, I decide to tidy up and clean everything. Afterwards I go upstairs, heading to my room.
As soon as I lie down on top of the bed, a thousand thoughts run through my mind.
But after a few minutes it is the vibration of my phone that stops this unstoppable circle in my head.
When I look at the screen of my phone, I notice that it is a message from an unknown number. But once I read what it says I immediately understand who it is and I smile slightly.
-
+82 XXX XXX XXXX: Did you get home safely?
-
I stare at the message for a few minutes slightly amazed at his courteous and considerable manners.
Apparently men who care about your safety still exist. Beyond that, his message was so timely. Just as EunWoo came out.
Maybe he was busy too, I wonder.
I decide to save his number among my contacts and reply to him.
-
Me: yes, I'm already ready to go to sleep 😪
Me: what about you?
-
I stare spellbound at the phone waiting for his reply, and after a few seconds he has already visualized and is texting.
Finally someone who responds to my messages quickly.
As soon as I hear my phone vibrate again, I immediately read the message.
-
Yoongles: I just got home, however, I am not sleepy.
Me : how come? If it were up to me I would sleep all the time....
Me : anyway
Me : you promised to tell me the reason why your always wear a mask.
-
After a few seconds comes your answer.
-
Yoongles: you are so heartfelt.
Yoogles: however I will answer you since I am someone who keeps his promises.
Yoongles: I wear a mask because I have respiratory problems. I could also avoid wearing it, but that would put those around me at risk because I might infect them. And it would be put me at risk too because of the pollution that could worsen my current state.
Me:
ah, I hope you can recover quickly then. Sorry for being nosy.
Yoongles: you can ask whatever you want whenever you want.
Yoongles: now go to sleep though, it's late.
Yoongles: good night Y/N.
Me:
yes, thank you. And good night to you too Yoongi.
-
I snort feeling quite annoyed that our conversation lasted so short, however soon after I put the phone down I feel the tiredness take over my body.
So I brush my teeth and hide under my bed mentally going over today's events before falling into the arms of morpheus.
