Second Chance

183.Today is the day

This time at Imperial Hospital, one of the patient's room is in chaos. The nurses and doctors are panicking trying to persuade their patient.

"Sir, you can't leave."

Bangchan looks at the doctor. His expression darken ten shades.

He doesn't want to leave but now he wants to. Earlier, he had been informed that Kim Lalisa was going to visit. He was happy about seeing his idol again, but....

With his eyes on the doctor, he could see a figure sitting in a chair inside the room. It was the person he wishes not to see at all.

"Bangchan, why don't you listen to the doctor and nurses. You're still recovering from a leg injury, it's best if you stay."

Jiyeon spoke as she stood gracefully from the chair. Taking leisurely steps, she walks toward the boy.

"I just want to ask you a few questions. It'll be quick."

Ting glares at the woman and his blood boil to the maximum. Clenching the walking crutches in his hands, he swore inside before speaking.

"I don't have any answers for you."

Cha Jiyeon sighs and stops by Bangchan, "I know you're angry because we didn't help, but—"

"Heh. Angry? Why should I be? It's proof of how disgusting you people are."

Not wanting to stay any longer, Bangchan tries to pass the nurses and doctor blocking his path. All he wants to do now is leave this place and get away from this woman.

Seeing Bangchan do so, Jiyeon lets a sharp whistle escape her mouth.

Before everyone knew it, four policemen enters the room and stops Bangchan from leaving.

"I suggest you cooperate or else—-"

"Or else what?"

An angelic voice answers Jiyeon, causing everyone to look to the door.

Seeing the person, Bangchan felt his entire body relax. He doesn't know why, but after he met this person, he can't help but put all his trust in her.

Jiyeon was dumbfounded when she saw who the person is. Clenching her fists, she could only swore inside. When she first arrived, she had done a check to make sure this person was going to be here, however... it's too late now..

"Lisa, it's you."

Putting on a smile, Jiyeon walks over to Lisa. She knows that her only way out now is to sweet talk her way. Of course, even she isn't sure if it'll work, especially when the person is Kim Lalisa.

Standing at the door, Lisa looks at Jiyeon then her eyes move to Bangchan. Seeing the four policemen surround him, her expression darkens.

"Were my words not clear?"

Hearing this, Jiyeon's heart tightens in fear. Struggling to maintain her smile, she speaks out.

"Lisa, it's like this, Bangchan wants to leave, but—"

"I gave words that no one is to disturb him."

Lisa interrupts Jiyeon's words. Looking at a distraught Bangchan, she moves her line of sight to Jiyeon.

"Including you."

"....."

Jiyeon bit her lower lip as she didn't know what to retort. Looking at the four policemen who came with her, She signal with her head for them to move.

Just as the four policemen moved, Bangchan's distraught expression relaxed. He slowly moves toward Lisa, the one person in the room that he can trust.

"I'm here to discharge Bangchan."

Lisa looks at the doctor and spoke her words. She doesn't want Bangchan to leave the hospital, but she has to. However, after she takes him away from here, no one will be able to intimidate him.

"R-Right away, Miss Han."

The doctor bow in respect before he and the nurses quickly leave the room. They know Kim Lalisa is just a model, but her background is complicated and everyone at Imperial hospital knows better not to cross lines with her.

"Yue-Yue...."

Lisa looks at her friend, then to the four policemen. Shaking her head, she walks over to the bed and grabs Bangchan's belongings.

"Let's go."

Bangchan nods his head as he smiles inside. Without looking at the remaining people the room, he quickly follows out the door with his savior.

"Detective Cha, are we just going to let this go? What about protocols? That woman just now, who is she to do this?"

One of the policeman spoke as he looks at Jiyeon. From his time working as a policeman, Jiyeon is someone who has great authority in the law enforcement. However, this unknown woman just came in and the highly respected Jiyeon didn't do anything.

Jiyeon looks at the man and she sighs. Pinching the space between her brows, she waves at them to be dismiss.

"That woman is someone neither any of you or I can offend. Let's go, I'll let the higher ups know."

Sighing again, she leaves out of the room too. How she hates herself for trying to go behind Lisa's back. This is another screw up on her part with her friendship to Lisa.

———-

"Miss Kim... if you don't mind me asking, but where are we going?"

Bangchan asks as he sits on the passenger seat. He glance from the corners of his eyes every so often at the beautiful being in the driver seat.

Ever since he was discharged, they just got inside Lisa's car. She didn't say anything about where they were going.

Lisa didn't answer right away. Her mind was still upset that she didn't get to check up on her head ache. She had the choice to do so, but if she did, Jiyeon would probably find another way to pester Bangchan.

Sighing, she decides she'll just get checked up at the military hospital. Ending her thoughts, she looks quickly at Bangchan before looking back on the road ahead. Whether he is ready to hear or not, she has no choice but to tell him..

"Today is the day for your parent's burial."

"....."

Hearing the answer he's been wondering about, he felt his heart stopped. His head drops down as he stare unblinkingly at the cast on his right leg. Tears slowly makes their way to eyes, but he holds it in.

His parents....

He's really an orphan now...

No dad or mom to call....

No home to go to.....

Without looking at Bangchan, Lisa move one hand from the steering wheel and gently pat the boy's head.

"It's okay to cry in front of me, even grown men know how to cry. There is no wrong when one has to cry, especially when they lose those dear to them."

As Bangchan listens to Lisa's words, tears slowly slides down his cheeks and onto the back of his hands.

Lisa continues to drive as Bangchan silently cries in the passenger seat. When she lost her parents, there was no one to tell her that it was okay to cry. It was the same when Shin passed away.

She had cried silently because she didn't want others to pity her. However, if someone was to tell her that it was alright to cry, she would have done so... That was a reason why when she Bangchan hold back his tears, she told him it was okay to cry. To most people, they rather hold back than receive their pity.

Even to her age now, she has not once cried in front of anyone.....
