Hurt || Park Seonghwa

Chapter 28

// "No one has ever cared for me
As much as you do" //
———————————————

We decided to not go too wild with the party so we stayed until 1 am.

We played games, danced, traumatised the neighbours with our karaoke and watched a lot of movies.

I and Seonghwa ended up cuddling on the couch as the others fell asleep on the ground.

---

A week went by and we were getting closer and closer to the end of the school year.

Two more weeks and finally I will have some peace.

The worst thing is that my dad hasn't felt the best those days. He had been put in the hospital too.

"Taeyong my love, are you alright?" Seonghwa said as he entered my room with a plate of fruits.

"Mhm..."

He sighed and sat down next to me, dragging me into his embrace.

"Baby... You haven't been that good lately, I can clearly see that. You have to eat love. I promise you, everything will be alright. I'm here by your side. And I will always be." Seonghwa said as he kissed my forehead and tightened the hug.

I slowly nodded and stayed some more minutes in his arms, feeling a little bit better.

---

The next day, I woke up with a heavy heart, still worried about my dad's condition.

Seonghwa noticed my sombre mood and gently squeezed my hand. "Let's go see your dad today," he suggested, "I'm sure he'd appreciate the visit, and it might lift your spirits too."

I nodded and got ready, making our way to the hospital together. As we entered my dad's room, I couldn't help but feel a mix of anxiety and hope.

My dad's face lit up when he saw us.

"Taeyong, Seonghwa, what a pleasant surprise to see you both, especially together again." He said, winking and with a little smirk.

I smiled and playfully rolled my eyes, walking over to hug him carefully, mindful of his condition. "I missed you dad..."

"Oh, sweetheart I missed you too." He said as he began coughing.

I felt my heart tearing a bit seeing him like that.

"Taeyong... I will be alright. Please, don't be sad." He weakly smiled as he held my hands together.

"And Seonghwa... Please take care of her. I want both of you to be safe and... If the end of my days will be soon... I need to see you guys happy one more time."

A tear went down my cheek, feeling the sadness hitting worse than a breakup.

I sighed and gave a weak smile before a nurse came inside.

"Mr. Kim, I have bad news."

That was the moment I felt my heart ripping apart.

"Even the operation won't save you... You only have one more day to live."

After hearing those words I got up and looked at dad and then at Seonghwa, tears running down my cheeks like crazy.

"W-What? This c-can't be possible miss..." I said as I tried to deny this information.

"I'm sorry Taeyong..."

And sadly for me, his heart stopped at that moment. The machine made a horrible sound, making me fall to the ground, on my knees.

"N-No... This cannot h-happen..." I cried out as the nurse looked down and Seonghwa tried to get me up but had no success.

"Taeyong...-" That was the last thing I heard before everything went black.

Four hours later

As I slowly opened my eyes I found myself in a hospital room. I got up and looked at my phone to see that it was 4 pm.

I was asking myself why was I here but then I remembered. I went out of the room and saw the boys with mom and Eunji sitting on the chairs like they were waiting for something or someone.

"Taeyong!" Wooyoung exclaimed as their eyes were on me now.

"Oh sweetheart are you alright? I heard about what happened..." Mom said as she came to me and kissed my forehead.

I nodded weakly, my eyes still swollen from crying. "I... I can't believe he's gone mom," I whispered, my voice filled with grief.

Mom hugged me tightly, offering me comfort. "I know, my love. It's a difficult time for all of us. But we have to stay strong and support each other."

The rest of the boys came and joined the hug too.

The only one who haven't even moved was Eunji. I was so sure that she would start a scene and yell at me that it was all my fault dad died. But she didn't.

Eunji slowly came closer and waited for us to break the hug. She came then to me and held my hands, scaring me for some good seconds.

"Taeyong I-I... I'm so sorry for everything... I'm so fucking sorry. Everything I did... All those years... You didn't deserve that. I was a horrible person. A monster. I d-don't even know why I have done all of these... I always thought that you would make mom and dad love you more. But you didn't... You wanted them to give love to us equally. And I still treated you like trash... Please... Forgive me. If there is anything I can do... I would do it."

Tears started running down our cheeks. Finally, that was the first time I felt the real sister love from Eunji.

Everyone was surprised at hearing her words, even mom.

But I...

"Eunji... I-I need time to think about it..." I said as I gave a weak smile and took my hands from hers.

"That's completely alright... I understand you." She said as she nodded and stepped back.

"Taeyong... I know it will be a hard time and I'm really sorry. I and Eunji will be moving out definitely in Chicago. It's your choice if you want to come or not sweetie." I looked at the boys and then at mom.

I sighed and gave her a little smile. "I will stay here. I want to stay with the boys and have Seonghwa by my side."

Mom nodded and smiled, leaving the hospital after some more minutes of talking.
