Healing

Accident

Nobody's POV,

For the next 4 - 5 days Yoonah kept her distance from Yohan, her silence was wall
She kept in between them. She barely looked at him. Her cold gaze signaled that she was still hurt. The silence was unbearable for Yohan he can't take it anymore. He could feel the weight of her absence, even if she was in the same room.

Finally unable to take it anymore, Yohan decided he had to confront her . One evening as she was about to leave the room, he reached out pulling her back gently but firmly. She turned startled but before she could reply, he backed her against the wall caging her in. His arms braced on either side, face mere inches from her.

Yohan : Yoonah

(He said in low and intense voice)

I can't stand this anymore, you are shutting me out and it's killing me.

Without giving her a chance to respond, he leaned down capturing her lips in a forcefully kiss.

Yoonah was shocked yet surprised, her hand press against her chest but he took her hand lifting it above her. His kiss was filled with frustration, desperation she felt his emotions in that moment- all his hurt, he needed for her to understand how much he cared.

But she pushed Yohan back and slapped him. The sound echoed in the room, and everything fell silent. She froze her eyes wide in shock, her hand trembling as she realised what she had just done.

Yohan stood there, stunned, surprised hurt visible in his gaze as he looked down at her. Yoonah's heart raced as she struggle to find the right words.

She wanted to say something, anything to make him understand, but the words failed her.

Yohan clenched his jaw, trying to steady himself, but he couldn't hide the hurt in his voice.

Yohan : i thought I mean something to you.

Yoonah : you do

She whispered barely able to meet his gaze.

Yoonah : it's just.... It's hard to forget the past.

Yohan : I know, we all have our past Yoonah, but I need to know that I am not just someone to feel the emptiness left by him. I need to know that you are truly here with me.

Yoonah : I am.

Unable to meet his gaze.

Yohan : you still love him, don't you?

Yoonah's heart dropped. She looked down and felt a surge of guilt wash over her. She opened her mouth to respond but the words wouldn't come.

Her silence was all the answer he needed. He chuckled bitterly.

Yohan : as expected, he repeated almost to himself.

He takes the car keys and without a word, heads toward the door, his jaw clenched in frustration yoonah's heart raced as she watches him leave. She want to stop him but the words were not coming out

Yoonah : Yohan

She whispered, barely audible but he is already gone. The closing of the door echoes in the whole room.

Outside, Yohan steps into his car, gripping the staring wheel tightly as he tries to clear his mind, his knuckles turn white from the tension.

He closes his eyes for a moment, leaning his head back against the seat, letting the silence of the car envelope him. The memories of everything they shared, every small moment, replay in his mind, but now each one feels tainted, clouded by doubt and mistrust.

Taking a deep breath, Yohan opens his eyes, with a shaky hand, he starts the engine and drives, not entirely sure where he's headed, but knowing he needs to be far away from the pain for a while.

Inside, Yoonah sits down, the weight of the situation pressing heavily on her. She knew he was hurt.

Yohan was driving faster his mind clouded with emotions and thoughts of Yoonah. The road blurred as he pressed harder on the accelerator, but as he reached to slow down something was off the breaks were not working. Panic surged into him as he slowed down the car, but it was too late.

The car crashed with a violent impact, the sound of metal screeching and glass shattering echoing through the empty road, Yohan's car spun before finally coming to a halt, on the side of a road. Inside, he was barely conscious, pain radiating through his body as darkness began to close in.

Meanwhile, Yoonah's phone rang, jolting her from her thoughts, she answered with shaky hands.

On call,

?? : is this Yoonah park?

Yoonah : yes, it is.

?? : Yohan's is being in an accident. He is being taken to the hospital right now.

Yoonah's heart dropped at the news of the accident. The world seemed to collapse around her as panic gripped her, she could hear her own heartbeats in her ears. The fear of losing him just like how she lost Sunghoon was too much to bear.

She hung up the phone, her hands trembling. Without another thought, she dashed out of the house, her mind a blur, every step carrying her closer to the hospital.

The image of Sunghoon's face flashed in her mind, and for a moment, she wondered if this was some cruel twist. She couldn't lose another person she cared about-she wouldn't survive.

As she arrived at the hospital, her legs barely carried her inside.

Yoonah : where is he?

The nurse looked at her with a sympathetic expression, already aware of the situation. "Room 307. But please, be prepared."

Yoonah didn't wait another second. She ran toward the room, praying that it wasn't too late, that she hadn't lost him just as she had lost Sunghoon.
