[Chapter 21]

A/N : 

*clears throat*

I AM TRULY SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING THIS. CROSS MY HEART, I'VE ALREADY WRITTEN THIS PART A THOUSAND YEARS AGO I JUST DIDN'T FOUND THE RIGHT TIME AND PLACE AND INTERNET TO PUBLISHED IT. SO IF- AND ONLY IF- THERE ARE ANY PEOPLE WAITING FOR THIS CHAP THEN I AM SERIOUSLY DEAD SORRY. 

Now, let's continue the story. It's going to end soon. Really soon. 

So yeah, thanks and enjoy!

The tears have dried, the pain has settled down, but the heart still wasn't at ease.

"Ivy, drink this." I looked up to my side and saw Taehyung offering an isotonic drink at me. "Please?"

With no words, I took it from him. "Gomapta."

Taehyung smiled and took a seat beside me. A nurse that passed by us reminded me that we're still in the hospital. The surgery take started about two and a half hours ago was still on going. I've been crying all my heart out in front of the door, and I couldn't really feel anything by now. All I could think of was Kris and his brother, Baekhyun.

I've never thought that they were brothers, never once in my wildest dreams. Come to think of it, they actually have the same personality.

Both of them like to have control. They like to command. They like to be the man in charge. But despite that, they both had something that made my heart melt- a nice heart.

"So..." Taehyung cleared his throat. "I know this is a lot, but can I ask you how you ended up with... him?"

My brows furrowed as I met his eyes. "Which him?"

He chuckled. "Kris."

"Ah..." I turned my head back to facing the surgery door. My mind raced for a while, remembering the incident that changed my life. For a moment I felt like crying all over again, for this time it was reality. I can't deny the fact of what really happened to me, to my family and to my beloved brother- Clover.

Kris changed everything...

"Get out, Ivy! Get out right now!"

"Dad?" I tried to fight the tears when my dad took both of my hands. His worn out face was covered with ash from the fire. From the crowd I could see the rising red flames that were eating up my house.

"Listen, Ivy." Dad's voice was shaky. "Mom and Clover are still in there. I need to save them. Stay here, you hear me?"

I shook my head. "D-dad... I want to come with you..."

"No, Ivy, I won't let you go." He firmly said as he caressed my cheeks. His face softened and then he turned back to see the burning house. Neighbours have been shouting and calling for help, but it looks like it was too late for the house to be saved.

Dad turned back to me. "Ivy, you're the best daughter I could have in a lifetime. Take care of yourself, my daughter. I love you." Then he lets go of me and walked away.

"Dad! No!!!" I shrieked but then he didn't stop, instead he ran into the house. I was about to follow him when people pulled me away, dragging me away from the worsening scene.

"Mom... Dad... Clover!!!!" I shrieked as tears filled up the corner of my eyes. I tried to fight my way out but they kept holding me back, screaming me to wake up. My knees were getting tired, my tears were getting louder but my dad didn't come out. And so did mom and my new born brother.
