Second Chance | Book 2

Chap. 45 Water

Jimin POV

"What happened to you? How come I didn't know about this?" Y/n asked them concern.

The old couple looked at each other for a moment before looking back at Y/n.

"Well, you see, this old man here can't accept that his body is too old. So he thought it would be a good idea to get on a stool and try to fix the hole in the ceiling. He lost his balance and fell. Lucky him the mattress was next to him on the floor but he still landed wrong in some way and twisted his ankle."

The lady explained earning a few snickers from her husband.

"I'm not that old. I can still do a lot of things." I said slightly annoyed at his wife for outing him "and besides, what was I supposed to do? The rain was coming in."

"You're almost 80! You shouldn't be doing that kind of stuff. Look what happened"

"You should have told me." Y/n said before they could continue. "Didn't the hospital bill cost you a lot?"

The couple looked at each other again exchanging silent words. Next to me Y/n took a deep breath

"Why didn't you guys tell me? I told you if anything happened you call me. If you need anything you call me. I had to come over here and found you like this? When were you guys even gonna tell me?"

I placed my hand on her knee "Y/n please calm down..." I said but the lady stopped me

"No it's okay, son. We understand her feelings." She said softly

"The reason why we didn't wanna tell you was because we felt bad. You have done a lot to us. You paid off our debt. You pay for our bills so that our electricity never runs out. And plus you send us money every month. You do all those things to us and we didn't want to burden you with this too. We knew it would make you worry." The husband spoke as he held Y/n hand.

"You guys saved my life. Me spending money on you is nothing compared to what you did to me. I owe it to you. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you guys. You two are like my parents. I'd do anything for you."

Me, Y/n and Felix were in their guest room. She was pacing back and forth in the room with Felix sleeping in her arms. She was frustrated.

"How could they not tell me this? I thought we were close. Don't they see me as their daughter?"

I stood by the window as I watched her with my arms crossed

"Y/n...calm down. It was just a small accident. He will be fine."

"No. He will not be fine. He couldn't get the full treatment because he didn't have the money for it. I had money. They knew I had money. Why didn't they just ask for it?"

I stopped her pacing and gently took Felix from her and placing him on the bed. I then got back to her.

"Alright listen. First of all. I want you to calm down. They can probably hear you. And I understand that you're frustrated and upset about this but he's gonna be fine, okay?"

I pulled her into my chest, stroking her head

"He's been in pain all this time and I didn't even know about it when I could..."

"Stop. This is not your fault. He'll be fine. I promise. We are gonna pay for his medical bills and make sure he gets the whole treatment."

I held her tightly in my arms until she started to calm down.

The next day Y/n seemed to be in a better mood. We were all outside the house since the weather was so nice.
