Chapter: THIRTEEN

Author's POV

Yunhee and Jimin darted through the hospital corridor, startling the nurses and doctors. They came to a stop in front of Jungkook's ICU. Yunhee peered through the glass, her heart broke upon seeing him lie there on the bed like a lifeless body, with a bandaged head, numerous wires attached to his body. She let out a sob and let tears fall from her eyes. Jimin comforted her by giving her a hug.

'Don't cry, he'll be alright. Our Jungkookie will be fine Yunhee' Gazing at Jungkook through the glass, he felt tears well up in his eyes.

'Who are you?' A voice prompted them to turn. They noticed a middle-aged woman with swollen eyes, as if she had been crying a lot. Yunhee could tell she was Jungkook's mother due to their striking resemblance. She has that mole under her lips, and the same doe eyes. She bowed to the woman quickly. The female gave a nod.

Jimin spoke, 'Aunty, she is Yunhee, Jungkook's friend. She was worried about him, so I brought her along.'
'How is he now?' Yunhee interrupted. His mother burst into tears. Yunhee and Jimin quickly held her shoulder sat her down on the bench.

'The doctor said he had a serious head injury and they can't say anything about his condition before 24 hours.'

Yunhee spotted a doctor at that very moment and rushed over to him. 'Good morning, sir!' she said, stopping the doctor.

'Could you please let me know how Mr. Jeon Jungkook is doing? He's in that room.' She gestured toward the ICU. The doctor gestured for her to come along. As they entered his cabin, he said, 'What is your relationship with him, by the way?'

With hesitation, Yunhee answered, 'He's my good friend.' He nods and says, 'Actually, he's in quite a critical condition right now. His head is seriously injured and we hope he regains consciousness in the next 24 hours, otherwise- With anxiety, she questioned, 'Otherwise what?'
The doctore retorted, looking sad, 'He might go into a coma.'

Yunhee's stomach churned when she heard the word 'coma'. Without saying anything more, she hurried to the restroom as she left the doctor's office with unsteady steps. She was not going to cry in front of people. Particularly not in front of Mrs. Jeon. She didn't want to increase her stress levels. She sobbed uncontrollably while locking the bathroom door. She took out her phone and called her brother with a trembling hand.

'Oh, you little shit! Always calling at the wrong time! I'm at work!' Jin yelled from the opposite side. Hearing her brother's voice, Yunhee began to cry loudly.

Jin felt a surge of panic. 'Yunhee, are you crying? What happened? Where are you?'

She made an effort to contain her tears so she could respond to her brother. But her breathing became labored and shallow. On the other hand, Jin was prepared to abandon his restaurant and assist his sister.

'Yunhee, please tell me where you are. I'm coming!' But she was still unable to form a word. 'Sweetheart, please tell me what happened? You are scaring me!' Jin asks while perspiring heavily.

'Listen to me! Take a long, deep breath and focus on my voice. Everything is going to be fine because I am here! Your big brother is here! Calm down!' Yunhee followed her brother's advice.

After a brief period of calm, she said, 'Jungkook had an accident and is in the hospital. I don't know what to do Jin. Doctors are saying that he may go into a coma.' She broke down in tears as she said this.

The ground beneath Jin's feet seemed to vanish. He was at a loss for words about what to say. His heart ached when he heard his sister cry. Pretending to be normal, he said, 'He'll be alright. Please do not cry! I'm coming to the hospital; text me the address.'
