father

Pond arrived at the hospital, accompanied by Phuwin, with a racing heart and a worried expression on his face. Upon entering the waiting room, he saw Joong, Gemini, Force, Book, and Dunk eagerly awaiting news. Apparently, Gemini had informed the other group members about what had happened. Without wasting time, Pond got straight to the point.

"Joong, tell me what happened? Where is my brother?" Pond asked quickly, his eyes filled with apprehension.

Joong took a deep breath and began to explain the situation in detail: "Your father seemingly appeared out of nowhere when Fourth and Gemini were having ice cream, walking in that square near my cyber café. Apparently, he started arguing with Fourth. The situation escalated, and there was an accident. Fourth fell over the guitar that was on the ground and got injured. He's receiving treatment now, and it appears to be a second-degree sprain in his right wrist. They said they'll have to immobilize it."

Pond tried to grasp the situation, worried about his brother: "Does that mean he twisted his wrist?" He inquired, trying to understand the severity of the injury before contemplating what he would do with his father once he understood what had really happened. Fourth was one of the most important people in the world to Pond, and he felt a strong sense of responsibility for his little brother, always protecting him. He had never allowed his father to harm him, at least not physically, and now he felt like he had somehow failed in his mission to protect him.

Force, with his experience in e-sports and sports injuries, took on the role of explaining in more detail: "A second-degree sprain is a type of ligament injury. Ligaments are structures that connect bones, and when a sprain occurs, it means those ligaments have been stretched or torn. In Fourth's case, it seems there wasn't a complete tear, but the injury is more severe than a first-degree sprain. He'll need to immobilize the wrist to allow for proper healing and recovery." Force's detailed explanation helped clarify the situation for everyone in the waiting room.

Still concerned and wanting to understand the situation better, Pond asked Joong, "What did that man want, after all? Do you know any more details?"

Joong sighed and replied, "By the time I arrived, everything had already happened. My priority was to assist Fourth and ensure he received the necessary care. I didn't have a chance to understand exactly what he wanted."

"Don't thank me; you guys are like brothers to me," Joong affirmed, touching Pond's shoulder, who gave him a small smile.

Mind Laner then turned to Gemini and asked, "What do you know, Gemini? What happened?"

Gemini swallowed hard and nervously explained, "When your father arrived, he and Fourth started fighting. He was holding Fourth by the wrist and wouldn't let go. I rushed to get help, and when I came back, everything had already happened... I'm so sorry, P' Pond." His eyes showed guilt and concern for the situation.

The blame wasn't on Gemini, and Pond immediately realized that. He took a step toward the young top laner and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "You did what you could, Gemini. Thank you for getting help."

Pond then redirected his attention to the rest of the group and said, "Let's wait for news about Fourth; that's all that matters now."

Joong nodded in agreement, and Force offered everyone some water. The minutes dragged on as they waited, and Pond felt his heart tighten with anxiety and worry for his younger brother. He would only find relief when he saw his brother with his own eyes.

Noticing Pond's state, Phuwin decided to act to calm him. Gently, he began making comforting circles on Pond's back, conveying support and reassurance.

Still in the hospital waiting room, the atmosphere was tense as Pond, Phuwin, Joong, Gemini, and the others waited for news about Fourth. The silence was only broken by the ticking of the wall clocks and anxious sighs. However, the atmosphere became even more charged when Pond's father suddenly appeared.
