Their Noona: EM

Chapter 24

A/N: A small update to keep you satisfied. Work is about to calm down soon and I will get to update more often.

AUTHOR POV

The next few minutes they all just stood there, just absorbing the news. The doctor left, but the nurse stayed to answer any questions. It was Ha Jun that finally broke from the shock first. He wiped at the constant tears that were falling.

"I will call HyunBin and JiHoo, they will contact her father." BangPD felt a little guilty at the relief he felt at not being the one to break the news to EM's father. He hadn't ever spoken to the man himself, but had been introduced once through video call when EM had stopped by to drop off a file while on her phone with her father. Her headphones had been in her ears, but they had waved at each other. EM had only a few similar physical characteristics with her father.

"Thank you," Bang whispered hoarsely. Ha Jun nodded then picked up his phone. The rest of them just looked and felt lost. They all waited in the waiting room until the nurse came back.

"We arranged for the largest room available so that you can all be there along with all of her equipment. Will that be a problem for the person paying?" The nurse asked with her pen hovering over her clipboard. BangPD stepped forward.

"Not at all. I will be covering the costs." She nodded and then motioned for them to follow her.

When they arrived at the hospital room, many floors and hallways later, they all hesitated to enter. None of them know what to expect. As they go to follow the nurse, Sejin's phone rang.

"Sejin hyung, where are you?" Namjoon asked from the other end. "I thought we were supposed to be meeting with BangPD-nim." Sejin could hear Namjoon's confusion.

" Namjoon-ah, something came up last minute. We will have to re-schedule." Sejin held his breath, hoping he sounded normal enough. He tried to mute the phone as soon as he finished speaking so that the hospital sounds couldn't be heard.

"Alright hyung. Can you tell me if Park Sae Jin got fired at least?"

"Yes, Namjoon. She has been let go and arrested. Her replacement will be her second in command. He is skilled and has the experience. During the interview he impressed us all and we wont need to train him from scratch." Sejin said before muting the phone again.

"That's great hyung, I'll let the other members know." Namjoon hung up the phone and Sejin let out a sigh of relief. Namjoon put his phone in his pocket and hurried to the main area of the suite to let the guys know the good news.

Sejin entered the hospital room as the nurse finished checking the machine next to EM's bed. Ha Jun was standing in the corner talking on his phone. He finally got hold of Hyun Bin on the phone. Hyun Bin felt like he had been hit by a car. His whole body was in shock, he was almost deaf to What Ha Jun was telling him on the phone. His ears were ringing and he felt as if he would collapse at any moment.

After hanging up with Ha Jun, Hyun Bin took a couple deep breaths before calling the love of his life.

"Binnie! How's the café today? I think we need to hire some additional staff soon if Our customer volume stays the same," Jihoo said through the phone. He sounded so cheerful and happy, Hyun Bin knew he was about to change that. Jihoo seemed to sense a problem since Hyun Bin didn't answer with his usual shark. "Babe, what's wrong?"

"You have emergency medical leave, right?" Hyun Bin asked bluntly. He was still too shocked to be anything else.

"Yes, I do. Are you sick?" Jihoo asked worriedly. He was sitting at his desk in his law offices and was already opening his email to request time off. He had accumulated several weeks of vacation during the years working for his firm. They are a combined Korean/American one. One founding partner is Korean and the other is from the United States, so the policies are a fusion of the countries. The vacation and emergency days are accumulated over time if not used, a policy carried over from the United States.
