Contract Marriage || J. Jk [Completed]✔ [Editing]

33. Truth revealed...

Eun Ae's P.O.V.

I walked towards the cafeteria. I am nervous, more than that i am afraid. A heaviness is felt in my chest like a pain it is stinging, i am unable to discern the sudden change in the temperature in the atmosphere. I don't feel like i am walking or moving anymore as if all my senses are lost. My eyes gazed the banner of my favourite shop which i loved the most but now my mind was void and the only thing i was hoping for was a good news. I have waited enough and have sacrificed a lot. The heavenly lord should feel pity on me at least this time...!

I saw Hoseok oppa from the glass wall. His face lacked expression and that's why it is hard to detect what is going on in his mind. I hope he has some good news.

His eyes landed on me and i smiled hoping that he would return some sort of feelings and i could instantly decode his mind but i was wrong as no matter how much one tries it is hard to find out what is going on in his mind. He hugged me tighter and after very long time i felt like i was home again.

"Sit" he said and i did.

"So oppa what is the news? is she okay?" i asked nervously anticipating his response.

"Eun Ae the news is not that good" finally he spat, never in my life i would like to hear. Who would like to hear about their mother's news and especially when the news is related to her health which has been the same since years.

"What do you mean oppa?" i raised my eyebrows and gulped as i felt my throat became dry all of a sudden.

"The reports are normal Eun Ae... but-"

"But?"

"Doctor said that she was in coma from so many years and yet they have not seen any response from her side" he sighed and looked away as he wasn't able to frame the words.

"But her reports were stable from the start so what is the issue?" i was kind of frustrated because everyone would say the same thing, everytime that the reports are good but she wasn't responding to the medication.

"Well they said that apart from the reports they wanted a positive response from her side which her body is not giving... they are doing their best Eun Ae and they just want that she should wake up now from the coma..." i saw fine lines on his forehead which were getting intensive as he raised his eyebrows. I could feel that internally oppa has given up the hope of seeing her happy, healthy and smiling just like before. He sighed and rested his elbows on the table.

"Oppa... everything will be okay please! don't just give up we still have hopes" i patted his hand. Some part of mine has already given up but still i wanted to be strong at least for oppa because he has already did so much for her, he gave up his own desires and saved money for her medication, walked instead of taking bus and taxi, lived a simple life while his friends would spent money and go clubbing. I was not able to do anything for her so i decided to go for this marriage just to help oppa and eomma. I know my decision wasn't that good, people will hate me and can call me coward for using this shortcut path but still for me this was the only way to help my eomma, Sometimes we need to keep our ethics away.

'The toughest decision one needs to take in life is, which bridge to burn and which to be used.'

"Frankly speaking i hate taking help from Jungkook... but he has trapped me in an emotional situation so that's why i need to" he banged the table lightly in frustration as he felt how useless he is as a son.
