16| The meeting of two mothers

Jaehyun woke up in a hospital bed. He blinked a few times, adjusting to the light, and tried to sit down straight, just to be stopped by the pain in his left shoulder and arms.

— Jaehyun-ah! —. He heard his mother's voice.
— Mom —. He called the woman with his hoarse voice.
— Wait, I'll call a nurse —. The woman said, standing up.

The boy holded his mother's wrist, stopping her.

— Help me sit —. He said.

His mother hesitated before helping her son.

— Are you ok? —. His mother asked.
— Everything hurts.
— I know. You suffered a hard accident. — His mother replied, pressing the " emergency " button to call a nurse.
—For how long have I been unconscious? —. Jaehyun asked.
His mother sighed —.You have been unconscious for five and a half hours.

Upon hearing that, Jaehyun's eyes widened.

— WHA...

A nurse suddenly entered, interrupting Jaehyun.

— Hi. I see you're awake now —. The nurse said.
— Hello nurse-nim, I'm...
— I know who you are, sweetie —. The nurse said.

That nurse had something fishy in her. Jaehyun didn't trust her and looked at her bored.

— Your left arm and right leg are broken. Your shoulder isn't broken, but it is bruised so badly that you won't be able to move it for some weeks.— The nurse explained —. You also have bruises in your left hand, right cheek, forehead, though it's just a cut, and your upper lip.

His mother teared up while Jaehyun was perplexed.

He had suffered an accident, but since when does it cause so many injuries?

He indeed looked awful and hurt.

The nurse then approached Jaehyun and whispered in his ear —. Have you got your string?

Jaehyun, oblivious of her intentions, nodded.

— Is it connected to me? —. The nurse asked.
— No.
—But you haven't found or bonded with your soulmate, right? —. She stubbornly asked.
— I have indeed found her. —Jaehyun replied, realizing her intentions.
—But you're not bonded, and your soulmate is oblivious that she is your soulmate, am I right?
— Kinda.
—Then... —The nurse bit her bottom lip, hiding a smile —. What about we... try something?
—What do you mean?—. Jaehyun was confused.
— I mean. What about we date? —. The nurse asked, being direct.

The nurse was his fan, well more than a fan. She was an obsessed one, so she used the situation.

— No —. Jaehyun replied.
The nurse's expression became a mix of confusion and angry —. I respect that. But... could you at least give me a kiss? You know... I...
— No —. Jaehyun repeated, cutting her.
— Just a peck, please.
— I said no. Are you deaf? —. Jaehyun was usually calm, but he was starting to feel mad.

She pouted, and seeing that he wasn't going to change his mind, she cleared her throat and left the room.

His mother saw everything but decided to let her son manage the situation.

Jaehyun then remembered something and panicked.

— Where is my soulmate?! How is she?! — He asked, freaking out.
—I don't know who is she —. His mother softly said.
— I forgot soulmates could feel what the other is feeling! What if she's hurt because of me?! What if she suffered the same as me?! —. Jaehyun's eyes teared up —. Yesterday was her birthday, God. She must have suffered the same I did! Even if it was my fault for being distracted! And the gift?! Don't tell me...
— Jaehyun!—. His mother shouts, making him stop talking and look at her —. I understand you're worried, but please, calm down.

Jaehyun started to sob.

—Jaehyun-ah~
—Look for her, mom, please. Make sure she's not here or in any other hospital —. Jaehyun pleaded —. Please.
His mother sighed and nodded in defeat —alright. What's her name?
—Kim Yewon.

She then left the room, leaving the crying and worried boy inside.

She walked for a bit until she heard another woman crying.

The woman was about to walk away when she heard the name that her son had said five minutes ago.

Kim Yewon.

The woman approached the other crying woman.

— Hello. I'm Myung Seora, and my son has suffered a car accident. He's worried for his soulmate and started to cry, pleading me to find her. So I'm looking for her. —. Jaehyun's mother explained.
The other woman sniffed and bowed down —. Hello Seora ssi. I'm Kim Haneul. My daughter suddenly fainted, and she's currently unconscious in that room —. She pointed to the room in front of them.
— I see —. Jaehyun's mother looked at Haneul with sympathy —. May I ask what happened?
Haneul nodded —. The doctor said she fainted because something happened to her soulmate. Yesterday was her birthday, and she got her string.
—Oh... may I ask what your daughter name is?
— Yes. Her name is Kim Yewon.

"Yewon?" Jaehyun's mother thought.

— Oh? My son told me that her full name was Kim Yewon. Could she be...
—What is your son's name?
— Myung Jaehyun —. Seora whispered and added —. He's a very famous singer.
—Oh? My daughter is crazy over him! She is always watching news about him and is his partner in a show.
— Really?!

Yewon's mother nodded furiously.

—By the way... do you know when she'll wake up? — Seora asked.
Yewon's mother shook her head —. No. The doctor said that she'll wake up when either her soulmate does or when her soulmate makes physical touch, like holding her hand, for example.
— Oh... my son is already awake, I think he should hold her hand. But... he can't go anywhere with his broken leg...
— You know... love is very risky. He'll leave his room just to see her, believe me —. Haneul said.
— But...
— Trust me. If he tries to leave to come see her, leave him be. He'll be at ease when he sees her, soulmates heal with the other's touch.
— That's when they bond. Our children aren't bonded yet —. Seora corrected her.
—Well... go tell him, let him come, I'll leave now. — Yewon's mother stood up —. I want to give them a bit of privacy.

Seora nodded and went back to her son's room while Yewon's mother left the hospital.

What do you think? Will Jaehyun leave his room to see Yewon? Even if he has a broken leg?

Im case you feel confused, I wrote yesterday instead of today because the accident passed around 24:00 p.m and In the story, it has passed five hours and a half, meaning that is the next day.

Thanks for your support 💙.

Be healthy!
