Mom: Honey! I think she is waking up now! Jahoon my baby~ Can you hear mom?
As soon as I opened my eyes, I was introduced to bright lights which made me close my eyes for a moment before I could fully open them. I looked around to see my parents hovering over me as they looked at me with worry. I took a deep breath and tried to figure out what was happening. Where was I and what happened? I tried to sit up but suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my stomach, making me groan and holding my stomach. I got up with the help of my mom and dad.
Jahoon: Where am I?
Dad: You are at the hospital. A great samaritan saw you fighting with a group of people and saw that you got injured so he managed to get you to the hospital before anything bad happened.
I looked at his face as I tried to remember what happened. Then everything clicked and remembered everything. I tried to figure out who was the one pushing the knife into me.
Mom: Honey, do you remember who was the one to do this towards you?
Before I could open my mouth to say anything, a knock was heard on the door, and in walked two police officers. They bowed to us as we looked at them with a bit of surprise.
Police officer: We are sorry to disturb you at the moment that you should be resting but we have to ask you a few questions in terms of what happened. Standard procedure.
Jahoon: Sure officer. You can ask me anything.
The police officers asked me all of the standard questions as to what happened and who was involved. I told them everything that I knew and remembered. We continued until they were satisfied that they had got everything.
Police officer: Alright I think we got everything. We will get in touch if anything more is needed.
They bowed and left the room. I looked at my parents to see them both worried but more angry than I have ever seen them before. It seems like Hyejoo knew where this was heading as well as she took Choerry outside of the room and to the canteen of the hospital.
Mom: I told you this would get out of hand! We should have transferred her the moment we knew about this! We should also have stopped her from seeing those two! Then none of this would have happened!
Dad: I know, honey but remember that our baby was also the one to ask us not to move. We have to respect her decisions as well but don't worry I will make sure that that Minhyuk guy gets what he deserves.
I looked at my dad and saw him gritting his teeth, clenching his jaw.
Jahoon: Dad please don’t do anything stupid.
Dad: Don’t worry honey. I won’t do anything illegal but I will for sure make him regret his choices.
I could tell from the look on both my mom and dad's faces how determined they were and I knew that no matter what I said I wouldn’t change their minds. The only thing I could hope for is that they won’t do anything stupid.
It took me a few days before I could get out of the hospital. Luckily my parents hadn’t done anything stupid as of now. Mostly due to Minhyuk already being in jail a few days later after the incident. I haven’t seen a trace of either Jiyeon unnie or Luda unnie, probably because my parents are so mad at them and blame them for everything that happened which I agree with them. Even though Minhyuk was in jail, I haven’t been to school ever since the incident. Not that I’m angry about it, I was actually glad that I didn’t need to attend school. All I have been doing is watching drama and just basically enjoying my free time. Right now I was just walking around in the park alone and just enjoyed the weather. My parents weren’t so keen on it since what happened the last time I did it. It took some time to convince them to let me go out. I sat down on a bench in the park and just looked at the fish and the ducks swimming in the lake in front of me. How nice it must be to not have any worries in the world and not have to think about if you are going to get hurt today or not. I felt the weight shift, making me turn my head to see both Jiyeon unnie and Luda unnie sitting on the bench beside me and looking at me with a small smile. I sighed as I tried not to curse out loud.
Jiyeon: Been a long time since we last saw each other. We heard that you were admitted to the hospital, are you alright? Neither your mom, dad, or sister would tell us what happened to you.
Jahoon: Understandably since you guys aren't really believing in me when I tell you the truth.
The girls looked at me as if they were caught by surprise. I just snickered at them and their delusional selves.
Luda: It’s not that we don’t believe you, Jahoon! It’s just the side we have seen of Minhyuk is only the good side. That is why we don’t really believe that he would do something like that.
Jahoon: So all of the injuries I suffered on my body are just all a joke, is that what you are telling me?!
Jiyeon: It’s not that! We don’t think that your injuries are a joke and we are actually sorry and upset for you that you had to go through and endure something like that.
Jahoon: Oh, please! Don’t act like you are sorry! If you are really sorry then you would have tried anything to visit me and also would have believed me to some point. So just acting a little bit nice towards you is enough to throw away the belief you have in a friend of more than 15 years?! You are just going to throw your best friend under the bus?!
I stood up and looked at them angrily. I always tried to keep my cool because I don’t want to say or do anything stupid when I’m angry but I couldn’t help but let my blood boil right now.
Jiyeon: Don’t raise your voice at us, Jahoon. We are still your unnies after all.
Jahoon: My unnies?! Huh?! What a joke! The both of you are a joke!
Jiyeon: Watch your mouth!
Jahoon: Or what?! What are you-
Before I could finish my sentence, my head turned to the side, and felt a sharp pain in my left cheek. I stood there frozen as I tried to figure out what just happened. Don't tell me that she actually slapped me?
Luda: Jahoon…
I heard Luda unnie whisper. I turned my head slowly to look at them. Jiyeon unnie looked at me shocked as she didn't believe what she just did.
Jiyeon: Jahoon… I'm so sorry… I didn't-
Jahoon: Save your breath. You guys are dead to me.
I ran away from them. I ran mindlessly but I knew that I had to get home. There were too many thoughts in my mind right now that I didn't notice the truck that was about to hit me since I ran across the street when it was red. The next thing I knew was that I was looking at the sky once again. This time the sky wasn’t clear. It looked like it was about to rain. I could hear people crowding around me but every noise that came from them was only a buzz noise. I exhaled sharply as the pain slowly began to make its way through my body. If there is any god in this world then please take me away. I don’t want to go through any of this again. I don’t want to remember anything about it…
