Secrets

Chapter 35

Daniel's POV

I knocked onto the door before entering, finding Damon and (Y/N)'s mother. I approached both of them nervously. "I heard who did it." I started, glancing at (Y/N)'s pale figure. My second body was in a better state than hers, the doctors are just trying to figure out why I ... or my other body hasn't woken up yet.

"To think he was her friend, it makes me sick." Damon growled as his hands clenched into fists, seeming ready to punch someone ... maybe even kill someone. "But he will get what's coming for him. He hurt two people who were his friends and tried to help him."

(Y/N)'s mother shook her head, placing her hand on her son's shoulder, "Now isn't the time to think of revenge. We must focus on (Y/N)'s recovery." She says softly.

I couldn't help but notice how much (Y/N) looks like her mother, same can be said with Damon. They have their mother's facial features, maybe that's the secret to being good looking. "I truly am sorry."

"Little Daniel, this wasn't your fault at all." Damon spoke, placing a hand on his shoulder with a gentle smile. "You weren't there and honestly ... I don't think anyone would've predicted Jiho to do this." Damon added, to which I lowered my head, nodding. I couldn't exactly tell him I'm also the other Daniel and I had two bodies. I can't help but think this was my fault, I was the one that called her there to help me talk down Jiho, I should've gone alone.

I turned my head hearing the door open seeing Jiho's parents come walking in with nervous smiles. Damon's own smile dropped as he let go of my shoulder, "Who are you?" He questioned coldly as he turned his body to face them, crossing his arms.

"W-We are Jiho's parents." Jiho's mom began, taking a step forward. Damon seemed to relax but his gaze remained cold while his mother stepped forward.

"I am (Y/N)'s mother, it's horrible we had to meet under these circumstances." Mrs. Seong began as she gave them a small bow of her head, being respectable. "You both don't need to apologize as this wasn't your doing-"

"We actually came here to ask if you can settle." Jiho's mom interrupted, causing Mrs.Seong to freeze. "Our Jiho isn't a bad boy, i-it was self defense!" I looked at them in disbelief, self defense!? There isn't even a mark on Jiho yet he put two people in the hospital and both are in critical condition. "D-Daniel will tell you!"

"Don't rope me in with you." I say coldly, taking a step towards (Y/N)'s side.

Damon then took a step forward, seeming about to kill someone till Mrs. Seong held up her hand stopping him as she spoke, "Are you implying my daughter attacked him first?" She took a step forward herself as she glared coldly at the two parents. "My daughter is lying in the hospital bed with a stab wound! While your son is in tip top shape without even a bruise!" She shouted, gaining some hospital staff's attention. "I will be pressing chargers for my daughter's sake! She trusted your son and considered him a friend! Look what he did to her!" Tears brimmed her eyes as she pointed at (Y/N)'s pale form. "She is barely alive, my daughter!"

Damon pulled his mother into his arms as he glared at the two, "You both should leave and don't you dare show your faces here again." He growled as Jiho's parents scurried off, or more like his dad dragged his wife away. "The audacity of some people." Damon mumbled.

I sighed, glancing back at (Y/N) for a moment before looking back up at Damon and Mrs. Seong. "I have to go, keep me updated if her condition improves."

"Will do, see you around Little Daniel." Damon said softly, giving me a nod.
