Serendipity

34

Jae was sitting near her husband. It's been two days and things were not looking clear for Hwan. He opened his eyes but was unable to speak. There were tubes and catheters running through his nose, mouth and other body parts. Doctor Song was checking up on Hwan. "How's he, doctor?" Jae asked sadness evident in her voice.

"He is fine. We can discharge him within a couple of days. But he needs proper care and attention."

Jae broke down in tears. Her mind was in a mess. She was born between her husband and her son. She wondered why Jin was doing all this. She needed to talk to Jin. She took out her mobile and began dialling her son.

"Jin..."

"Eomma, what is it?"

"Where are you?"

"At Kim Mansion with Hobi."

"Come to the hospital", Jae whispered.

"What is it eomma?"

"What do you mean, why? Just come. I need to talk to you", Jae said.

"Okay."

"And Jin...make sure you are alone". Jae insisted.

"Okay". Jin said as he hung up the phone. He knew what it was all about. His mother would want to know what happened and why did he do that.

"Who is it hyung? Is it Eomma? Is it Appa, is he okay?", Hoseok asked. Tae and Yoongi were handling at KJM Cybersecurity. They asked Hoseok to take few days off. Hoseok didn't want to leave the hospital but upon everyone's insistence he came back to rest.

"It's no one Hobi. You need sleep. Have some warm milk."

"But hyung."

"Hobi...I know with all that is going on, you might feel stressed. But trust me, things will be fine." Jin sighed as he took a deep sigh. "I can't believe Jimin did something like that. I know he hated me but not you...how can he do this to you...to appa, who made him COO? Its not like I asked my ownership back. I am so sorry Hobi."

"No Hyung...its not your fault.", Hobi sighed. His mind was reeling with all the information. He couldn't bring himself to believe Jimin could do something like this. His gut just didn't digest that one of his best friends can do this. Of all the people, he knew Jimin had his back. "I don't know what to believe".

"Its okay Hobi, I understand. Now look, don't worry about Appa. He is my father too. Trust me, he will be fine. Here take this."

"What is it?", Hoseok asked.

"It's a relaxant. Will help you sleep."

"No..Hyung..I don't want it....and why are you taking this?"

Jin got up from the bed. "I...I couldn't sleep much since that day...that's why I tried to end myself. The pain was unbearable, Hobi. From time to time, I still can't sleep. There are just so many thoughts. That's why I still carry them." Jin sniffled.

"Jin Hyung...don't say that. I don't want you to take any pills...please...look whatever you are going through, I am here for you. We all are there. You don't need this." Saying that Hobi took the bottle and threw it in the bin.

"But Hobi..."

"No..hyung..I don't want you to get addicted to all of this. Its dangerous." Hoseok made Jin sit on the bed. "Hyung, whatever you need, I am right here with you. Just tell me what you want. I don't ever want you to try the...the...unthinkable. Okay?" Hoseok asked as Jin nodded and hugged his younger brother. He wiped and smiled at Hoseok. "Okay Hobi...as you say. But for now. I want you to get good sleep. I will go visit hospital and come back. Don't worry. It's my turn to be there for you all." Hoseok nodded and smiled at his brother.
