"You're here?"

As soon as I entered the room, my eyes met with Jimin's, and his face lit up with an almost instant smile. I could tell that he was eagerly waiting for me as if I was the one he had been expecting all along. It was quite surprising because, being Haneul's brother, I expected him to be at least a little annoyed about seeing me. Nonetheless, his welcoming expression left me with a sense of confusion and curiosity.

As I stood in the hospital room, a strange sense of déjà vu washed over me. The room felt eerily familiar, and I couldn't shake the feeling that I had been here before. Perhaps it was the way the light filtered in through the window, or the faint smell of antiseptic in the air, but something about this place triggered memories of past experiences that I couldn't quite put my finger on. And as I looked around at the familiar surroundings, I couldn't help but wonder what other events had taken place in this very room.

"Where is she?" I asked, looking around at each empty hospital bed that I saw.

He sighed heavily.

"Here," he said, motioning with his hand towards a hospital bed that was situated in the corner of the room. As he turned his head to look back at me, I could see the concern etched on his face. The sterile smell of the hospital room filled my nostrils as I took a step forward, approaching the bed that he had pointed to.

As soon as my gaze fell on her, I felt a spark of excitement deep within me. It had been ages since I had last seen her, and the sight of her now filled me with a sense of longing. However, my joy was mixed with a heavy feeling of guilt that weighed heavily on my heart. I couldn't shake the feeling that somehow, I was responsible for the state she was in, although it was my brother who had caused her this pain.

I suddenly felt like I shouldn't be here.

I did this.

"I know what you're feeling. It wasn't your fault. Don't blame yourself." A hand was placed on my shoulder and I didn't feel as uneasy anymore. It was the consolation that I needed to keep moving forward.

"I'll leave you two alone." Then his presence left as he opened the door to leave.

It was difficult to see her in this state, knowing that I could've prevented it in the first place. My lack of consideration made this all take a toll in the first place.
How am I going to face her after this? If she even does wake up.

Y/N POV
My mind is spinning and my thoughts are controlling me. Everything was starting to blur and come out of contact with me.
My hands were stuck and numb, every part of my body was stuck in one place unable to move even the slightest inch.
