4 years ago; 13 year old Jin's POV

I came home from practice and I opened the door to my apartment door. "Appa!" I yelled out. "I'm hoooome!!" I walked in into my room and changed out of my uniform. I walked back out. "welcome home Jin!" said Appa. I ran up to hug him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. I went up to omma's picture and kissed her photo. "anyo omma, I'm home from practice, today I won Min in a match today but I got a bad bruise on my shoulder and today, she made me laugh so hard that tea came out of my nose ." "you got a bruise?" said Appa. "let me see." he looked at my shoulder. "aish, young lady you need to be more careful next time." he said. "Araesso." I said rolling my eyes. He reaches in the freezer and got an icepack to give to me. "are you hungry?" he asked. "nee." I said. "what do you feel like eating today?" he asked. "uuuum, black bean noodles!" I said. "again?" he asked. I gave him a cute face and a gave him some aegyo. *puing puing* He sighed, "you're lucky you're cute." he said. "no I'm just lucky I got a cool dad." I said. He ruffled my hair. I jumped into his back and he carried me to the restaurant.

30 minutes later

Appa sighed and rubbed his belly. "I am full." he said. "what?! but we haven't had desert yet." I said. "oh? then what do you want?" he asked. I smiled. "bubble tea!" I said. He laughed. "for how small you are, you sure do eat a lot, just like your mother." he said. "she ate you out of your money right?" I asked. "right." he said. We got our bubble tea and were drinking it. "Appa! look at the flowers! they're blossoming!" I exclaimed. I was looking at the flowers when I saw Appa looking at me with nostalgia. "what is it?" I asked. "you look so much like your mother." he said. I smiled at him. "you tell me that all the time." I said. he smiled. "I guess I do don't I? he said. "come on let's go home." We walked holding hands. We were crossing the street when a car came speeding down the road. It was coming to fast to stop in time and we didn't have time to get out of the way. all I saw was a pair of lights and then the view got blocked and I blanked out.

I woke up to the sounds of sirens and people yelling. I moaned and felt a heavy weight covering me. I moved my arm and I felt the weight move away and I was pulled away. I heard people talking and I finally opened my eyes. I saw a car with its front messed up and police cars and an ambulance. "miss, miss can you hear me?" a bright light hit my eyes. I saw a man with paramedic clothing. "miss can you hear me?" he asked. "yes." I whispered. "you've been in an accident, try not to move around ." he said. They moved me carefully onto a stretcher and unto the ambulance. "where is my Appa?" I asked. The paramedics stayed silent but I saw in another ambulance, my Appa was covered in blood and looked so broken and fragile. "Appa?... Appa!!!!!!" I yelled and I screamed for him. I struggled to move but they kept me down. I thrashed on the bed and I saw a paramedic holding a needle and then I felt myself grow sleepy.

I woke up on a bed and I heard the beeping sounds of the heart monitor. I looked around and saw the whiteness of the room. I pressed the call button and a nurse came in. "Oh, sweetie, you're awake that's good." she said. "what happened?" i asked. she looked at me with sorrow. "you've been in an accident, you've had surgery to fix your broken leg and stitches in your head. you're very lucky to be alive you know." She said. I remembered. "where-where is my Appa?" I asked. "He's in the room next door." she said. I breathed a sigh of relief. " I want to see him." I said. She was hesitant. "let me go talk to the doctor."

She said and left. the door opened a few minutes later and it was Min. she was crying, she ran up and hugged me really hard. I groaned in pain and she let me go. she was wiping her tears. "I'm so glad you're okay, unnie." she said. I smiled at her. the door opened again and in came the doctor. She came in and smiled at me.

"how do you feel?" she asked. "just sore." I said. "that's good, do you remember why you're here?" she asked. I nodded, my Appa and I were going home and a car came when we crossed the street." I answered. "good" she nodded. "Can you tell me your name?" "my name is Choi Jin and I'm 13 yrs. old." I answered. "no signs of amnesia." She said. "can I see my Appa now?" I asked. The doctor seemed hesitant. "alright." she said. they got me in a wheelchair and we went next door. The first thing I saw was all of the machines taped up to him and he looked so small. I went up to him and started to cry. "Appa." I said. "Appa, you need to get better soon araesso? you hear me?" I said. I fixed his hair and held his hand. "when will he wake up?" I asked. The doctor stayed silent. I looked at her and finally she spoke. "when that car hit the both of you, your father shielded a lot of the damage away from you and onto him. he has suffered interal bleeding and we had to put metal plates on his chest and hips." she said. "what are you saying?" I asked. "There is a chance that your father will never wake up." My heart dropped and those words repeated over and over in my head and then something broke. Tears streamed down my face. "nonononononononononono." I said. I turned to him. "Appa?" I shook his shoulder. "Appa?! Appa!!!!!!" I kept yelling this over and over again. These screams exited out of my mouth. Min back hugged me and told me to stop but I couldn't stop. A pair of nurses rushed in and gave me a sedative. The last thing I saw was Appa. "you can't leave me." I thought. "Don't leave me like this.... I don't want to be alone."

A/N: oh my god, this chapter was super sad for me. it hurt my heart because of the bond between Jin and her dad. I really felt that this brought Jin,as a character, to life. Was it any good? I'd appreciate it if you'd comment, give me some suggestions or you know whatever.
