JAEHYUN'S P.O.V

Minhee looked confused as ever. She entered the house and observed the chaotic situation. "What do you mean the day has finally come?"

My mother seemed to have heard her voice and sensed her presence before she got up from her seat and engulfed her in a hug.

"My daughter! My daughter!" Her tears had drenched a part of Minhee's blouse.

30 minutes ago~

The dinner started and my parents and the couple were dining in silence. I wondered why they needed my presence.

They all had a serious look on their faces. The female sat opposite me started the conversation first.

"I'm so sorry. I really am." Tears started falling from her face and onto the tablecloth, forming patches of wet spots.

"Do you really think apologising will salvage the situation? Will it make it any better? Will it change my life?!  You took my daughter away from me!" Things were starting to get a little heated and I had to calm my mother down.

"Mom, what daughter are you talking about? I have a sister?!" I widened my eyes as she continued glaring at the lady.

"We didn't mean to do it. We lost our baby and we couldn't deal with the loss. We saw the baby in the pram that resembled our daughter so much."

My father slammed his fist on the table. "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! A baby is not something you see, take, and then apologise for stealing! Do you know how miserable our family became after we lost her?!"

I was puzzled. Who is this mysterious girl? My parents had abandoned the dinner table and went over to the living room. My mother was already bawling her eyes out.

Flashback~

THIRD PERSON P.O.V

"Darling! Is the park nice?" a mother could be seen holding hands with a baby male toddler and pushing a pram.

The little girl in the pram wore a smile on her face as the breeze blew against her gently. The mother was enjoying this moment in her life. Her with her two kids, her husband currently working to support the entire family. It was blissful.

Out of nowhere, the baby male toddler had let go of his mother's hands to run towards another baby male toddler.

"Mummy! Balloon!" The stranger toddler was holding onto a balloon that he wanted for himself. He was intrigued by the round object floating above his head.

The mother immediately ran over to apologise to the couple because her son had disturbed their small little family date. Without second thought, she left the pram on the sidewalk, as it would have been troublesome to push it across the grass.

"Jaehyunie, Mummy will get another one for you, alright? Now let's get back to your sister. I'm sure she wouldn't want you running away from her side, right?" He nodded his head, carrying an angelic smile on his face.

Both mother and son walked back to the unattended pram hand-in-hand. It was all too late. The baby girl was gone.

Present~

YOUR P.O.V

"W-What? What daughter? Mom? Dad? What is going on?" I questioned.

"Minhee, they are your biological parents." I turned away and faced Jaehyun.

Jaehyun was looking down, not wanting to have direct eye contact with me. "How about Jaehyun? W-we are dating." I looked back at my "parents". "What do you mean? I have no memories of the past at all. I grew up with both of you. Why have you not said a single thing?"

In my heart, I already knew I was adopted three years ago when I volunteered to collect my parents' health report. None of them carried the disease I have. It cannot be, because it is a genetic disease. There was a possibility that my biological parents had abandoned me or sent me to an orphanage.

Now, my biological parents are Jaehyun's parents. It means Jaehyun and I are siblings. I can't believe I am dating my brother.

After all this processing and sudden emotion change, all I could see was white and before I knew it, I collapsed. A sharp sound pierced through my ears as muffled voices could be heard.

I heard Jaehyun shouting my name as I regained a part of my hearing, before it was total silence.

At the hospital

JAEHYUN'S P.O.V

Minhee got sent to the ICU. We could only see her outside her room through a glass window. Seeing all the tubes attached to her really pained my heart.

"Min, I love you no matter what. Please wake up. Let's run away."

3 months later~

I visited Minhee in the hospital every single day. She still has not woken up yet. 3 months ago, the doctor only said she received too much shock and the impact was too much for her to take because of her heart condition. Then why is she taking so long to regain her consciousness?

"Minhee, I can only talk to you from the outside. But I know, our hearts are always connected, right? Nowadays, I feel lonely at work without you. I had nobody to write little notes to. Please wake up and talk to me. I need you. Don't leave me, please. Your unconsciousness is really worrying me. I feel so lifeless now. I only go home to take a shower and change my clothes. I cannot stop thinking about you. I miss you so much. Please wake up."

My breath hitched as it formed a foggy mist on the window. I stared at her beautiful face. What should I do so that she will wake up? I was already on the verge of breaking down.

Just then, a tear escaped her closed left eye and onto the pillow.

"Min! I know you can hear me! Please open your eyes! I know you're there! Minhee! Please!" I kneeled down outside her room, literally begging for her to wake up and talk to me again.

What I only heard next was a long beeping sound coming from her room.

A/N:
I'm so emo after writing this chapter. I hope yall have enjoyed it and that I had properly portrayed all the characters' emotions. Anyway, BTS is in my country today and I'm not going to see them. This is bullshit. I literally cried because I wasn't going to see them.
