don't blame me

sweet nothing

All she could hear was crying, screams, and reassuring words.

She felt a hand clasped in hers and the sound of someone crying.

On her other side, she felt a hand touching her shoulder, gripping tightly in fear of letting go.

Then, it suddenly went dark again.

Now, she woke up in a dark room with doctors surrounding her.

"She's awake. Give her some more anesthesia."

She tried to move, but she felt a sharp pain in her side that made her groan.

She was suddenly injected and felt herself lose consciousness yet again.

~~~~~~

Hana woke up with a startled gasp and lifted herself.

She felt a pain in her side that made her quickly lay back down.

She looked around to see a relatively empty hospital room.

The curtains were completely closed, leaving the room pitch black.

To her left, there were flowers in a vase next to her bed and a total of 4 chairs.

In each of the chairs, was her family completely asleep.

Ms. Chu was laying on Chairman Choi's shoulders and Jeok-bong and Motak were leaning on each other.

She turned to her right and found Mun sitting in a chair but leaning his body against her bed.

His curls were a mess on his head, and he was still in the clothes she last saw him in.

The others seemed to have all changed, but not Mun.

His face didn't look peaceful, instead, his eyebrows were scrunched up and his mouth was set in a grim line.

She moved his curls out of his face gently, to not wake him up.

She felt a warmth in her heart that there were people here to take care of her when she woke up.

The last time she was here, she woke up in the hospital bed completely alone. Without her parents. Without her sister. Instead, with a goal, a purpose to stop evil spirits from hurting innocent people.

Now, she had a family, people she loved, who were always there for her and worked with her to stop evil spirits.

Without even realizing it, she had been stroking So Mun's hair, causing him to stir and move closer to her.

His eyebrows straightened out slightly leaving him content and a small smile showed up on his face.

Her eyes softened at his movement and felt her feelings for him rush into her chest.

She carefully took her hand out of his hair and just watched him sleep.

Not long after, he must have felt the loss of her touch because he woke up and stretched his limbs out.

His eyes opened and immediately met hers.

"Noona, you're awake!" He whispered, to not wake up the others.

"You missed me?" She joked.

All he did was hug her closer to him and tuck his head between her shoulder and neck.

"Of course. I always miss you." He said back.

She relaxed in his arms and held on tightly to him.

He leaned back to look at her, trying to memorize every inch of her face.
