"Let me Laugh Again" V Fanfiction

Chapter 26: Someone is trying hard to...

Min-ji didn't want to wake up.

      She felt free and rested so she continued to sleep. In her mind, she was still in the white room but she was so relaxed that she didn't want to leave. She vaguely heard voices, and sometimes she thought her name being called but the sensation would then pass. She shrugged her shoulders and then stood to explore the empty space.

V was in trouble.

      He knew for certain then that the people who met the doctor was Min-ji's family. The resemblance of the two men to Min-ji was uncanny, while V concluded that the pretty lady gave Min-ji her unusual caramel eyes. Just by their aura, they gave off an air of class that V was intimidated at first but when he saw them in their grief, he realized that people, rich or poor, were equal. Death respects no one and with the way the doctor said was going, Min-ji was in trouble.

      When the doctor left, all three of them looked weak, as if their souls were sucked out of them. V felt like an intruder so he turned to leave but the pretty lady stopped him.

"Excuse me young man, you looked like you've been standing there for a while....come sit with me..." she invited gently. The two other men eyed him suspiciously but didn't contradict her.

      'Oh god....!!' V thought. He was terrified but he didn't want to look like a coward so he squared his shoulders and bowed to the men before making his way to the lady.

"Uh good evening Madam Song.."he tentatively greeted her.

      Thankfully the lady smiled, "Good morning to you too..." she said gently. 'Oh drat! Idiot!!' he chastised himself. "Uh right....sorry, it's morning-" he stammered badly. The lady smiled further and said, "You must be Taehyung..."

V's mouth opened in shock.

The lady laughed again which drew dark looks from the the men.

       V massaged his nape to ease some of the nervousness he was feeling. "You know me?" he asked, disbelievingly. Madam Song smiled and said, "Yes, I do. Min-ji has mentioned you - and she usually doesn't do that but I heard how you saved her life so I'm really thankful..." then she bowed to V.

"Uh no - please, it was nothing - I only did what a normal human being would do..." he answered.

      "Still, I am indebted to you...Honey, this is Taehyung, he was the one who helped our Min-ji in that last car crash..." The older gentleman's face suddenly mellowed. He walked purposely to V and shook his hand before remembering that he was going to bow first, "Sorry...old habits. My name is Jung-hoon, nice to meet you... And this is my son, Fred - I mean Min-kyu, he's Min-ji's older brother..."

      The handsome young man, made his way slowly to him and shook his hand as well. Min-kyu's aura changed and he seemed more friendly, "I'm sorry for earlier...it's quite stressful right now...this is her umpteenth crash in..oh I don't know anymore...I swear dad, someone is trying to kill that girl...I just know it...." Min-kyu said the last part to his father.

'Min-ji, don't you dare die on me!!' V prayed again.
