Her Innocence (jensoo)

Chapter 13: Am I dead?

JENNIE's POV

I am numb. I am conscious, but I cannot move my body. I open my eyes and I am met with darkness.

What Time is it?

I remember the arrival of the paramedics in the house. They brought me to the hospital, but I don't know what Hospital. I am too far gone from the pain that I don't know what happened next.

I can gather that I am in a dark room and I don't know why I cannot move my body. I tried to speak but it was painful. A glass of water should be nice at this time.

Suddenly a door that I know exists, but I don't know where it is located opened. The light in the hallway passed through the open door and I only saw the shadow of the person who entered the room. Is it a ghost? But it opens the door. Can a ghost touch some stuffs? Maybe this one.

I heard the door closed. As I hear its footsteps approaching me, I ask whatever entity it is that entered my room.

"Are you a Human?" or What? I need to be sure! You'll never know in this age!

A deep voice answered back. "Yes Maybe? but some called my features out of this world if that counts."

The light suddenly on, and I just close my eyes because like I mention earlier I can not really move my body so I can not cover my eyes with my arms. Let me tell you the light in this room is really bright. Even Edward Cullen will sparkle like a friggin God on how bright this light is.

I open my eyes slowly and right in front of me is an angel. She looks blurry at first but as the time passes by I can see the person in front of me clearly. Those grey-blue eyes are staring right into my soul.

"Am I dead?" I whispered.

The angel replied "Not on my watch Missy"

"Then why there is an angel in front of me?" I ask her once more.

"If I don't know you. I'll think that you are weird right now, but I know that is normal for you drugged or not." She smiled showing her dimples.

I just stare at her face. Memorizing every inch of it. I heard the angel mutter" any minute now." Any minute of what?

Isn't it funny that she has the same eyes as Jisoo?
HOLD. THE. FUDGE. DOWN.

Grey- Blue eyes.

Dimples.

Black Hair.

Heart shape lips.

Looks like an angel.

SHOOT. ME. DOWN.

Is there any SWATT nearby? Or I just want the ground to swallow me up again.

I close my eyes and I want them shut forever. Why is she here of all people? Is she a doctor now? For Fudge sake I call her an angel which is true but she doesn't need to know that! If I can cover my face with the blanket I already did it.

"Jisoo?"

"yes?"

"Can you please cover my face with the blanket?" I can hear her snickering. Bastard.

"May I ask Why?"

"Just do it! So, can I recover my dignity even just for a little bit."

Unexpectedly she laughs, not a HA HA laugh. Its like a clutching-my stomach- kind of laugh. I slowly move my head in her direction to look at her face. She has tears in her eyes from laughing.

"I can see that my embarrassment is making you happy."

She calmed down after a moment and she sat at my bedside.

"I am sorry for laughing." She apologizes with a solemn voice.

Who am I to deny her apology? A mere mortal? "Apology accepted."

"Thank You"

Really? She thanks me for accepting her apology?

I still can't remember what happened so maybe Jisoo can fill in the blanks.

"What Happened? Why are you here?Why can't I move my body? And why am I in a hotel room?"

For a moment she looks like she is panicking but then suddenly she looks determined.

She reaches for my hand and starts playing with my fingers. Why is she
doing this kind of stuff? Does the boss normally do this to her employees?

"Calm down Jennie. I'll explain to you the shorter version. The hospital called me after you are brought here. I am your guardian sort of. You've undergone an emergency appendectomy because you have perforated appendix. You can not move your body right now because technically you are under spinal and general anesthesia. Since your appendix is already perforated the toxins or waste inside it spreads on your body. So, the doctor needs to clean your whole abdominal cavity to make sure that the abscess are removed because if not doing so infection might occur. And your
operation should only take an hour and a half but since they double check
everything it took them almost 3 hours and in the middle of the operation you became slightly conscious, so they put you on general anesthesia and inserting a tube on your trachea hence why your throat is sore. It is already 3am and the doctor told me by 4am you can start to feel your extremities slowly. Lastly this is your Hospital room.The End"

I just look at her. The whole time that she is explaining she is looking at me straight in the eyes. I cannot decipher the emotions that pass through in her eyes as she is retelling what happened to me.

"Wow. If that is the short version. I don't want to hear the longer version. There might be a car chase or an explosion in the longer version."

Wait. Something doesn't add up. "How come the hospital called you?"

"Remember the card that I gave you? I ask you to attach it to your ID right? That is my personal number."

I am not bothered that my appendix was removed. I don't even miss it. Har. Har. Jennie. Har. Har. The main idea in her statement is she gave me HER.PERSONAL.NUMBER.

I feel honored, bothered, and excited at the same damn time.

She gave me her personal number. I still can't believe it. I remember she told me to call that number if there is an emergency. I don't know folks about you, but I am really touched right now.

"I am sorry Jennie to intrude on your privacy. I didn't intend any harm when
I gave you my number." Jisoo is still apologizing. She is not looking at my
face she is just looking at our entwined hands. Can't she understand if not for
her I am still writhing in pain in my bed or else dead at the hospital hallway?"

"Jisoo"

She stops playing on my hands and I know that I have her attention.

"I am grateful from all the things that you've done. There is no need to apologize."

She raises her head and I smile at her hoping that I am giving her my sincerest smile.

"And one thing Jennie that you should know. For them to accommodate you
faster and for them to allow me to sign the consent for your surgery. I told
them that I am your- "she was cut off by the person knocking on my door.
She run her hand through her hair from frustration maybe?

She stands up to see who is at the door. She opened it because I can hear some muffled voices. With Jisoo there is a man with a white coat on that I am assuming a doctor and a nurse at his side.

The doctor approached my bed and he presses a button that elevates my head in a 45-degree angle.

"Hi, I am Dr. Smith" He introduced himself.

"I am your surgeon. Thanks to your "Fiancé" and her impeccable patience and composition in an emergency situation. She made the right decision."

If looks can kill the doctor is already dead. If Jisoo's Eyes can emit laser beams Dr. Smith is already burnt.

Hold on a minute. Fiancé?

Fiancé?
The doctor beamed at my question

"yes. Ms. Kim jisoo your Fiancé"

I looked at her who is behind the doctor and she has a sheepish look like just- say-yes-to-the-doctor face and in return I have a you-better-explain-yourself look.

I return my gaze to the doctor and smile at him.

"that is the reason why I said yes to her. She is always composed in every situation. Right sweetheart?"

"Yes sweetheart." She replied

What is happening? If this is a dream this is a damn good dream coz I just learned my Boss is my fiancé!
