Chapter 10

Song - Hold On

“ Chapter 10 - Wake Up ”

*Tzuyu's Pov*

My ears block my brother's voice explaining how he didn't pay attention to the road and ended up getting into an accident as my legs wobble forward, settling myself on the chair, my fingers wrapping themselves around my son's hand.

I hate how his eyes are closed, how his smile is replaced, how his forehead where I used to kiss him all the time, is covered with gauze, the white colour replaced by the colour of Daamin's blood, making me let out a sob.

D-Doctor said, he'll be fine. My head falls down on top of our hands connected as tears continue leaving my eyes, my hairs blocking my face.

We just can't predict when he will wake up.

That's basically the same as coma, isn't it?

I hate hospitals. I hate the smell they have inside it, I hate how there are patients all around, I hate how some people smile here while some loses their loved ones.

But if I can go back in time, I will come running here.

Cause I don't want to make the same mistake twice. Oh wait, if I can go back, I will prevent it from taking place instead of letting it happen and running here.

No, no, no! The wave of memories hit my head like a truck and I find myself all alone with my son's lifeless body as I scream.

Daamin-ah, Mom's here. Sniffling, I wipe the warm liquid away from my face as I speak.

Wake up, baby. My hands touch his cheeks, the soft-white skin reminding me of how the smile used to take place on his face.

Was this how Mingyu felt last time?

It's okay. I feel someone's hand cupping my cheeks before that person gently pulls my head back as it crashes with a hard yet warm surface.

No! D-Don't you see h-he's not waking up? I yell, pulling myself away from him as my lips kisses Daamin's gauze-covered forehead.

Daamin-ah, wake up.

Take Tzuyu home, Mingyu. I'll be here. Hearing my brother, my anger once again takes over me, my eyes, on purpose, ignoring my brother's hand covered with a cast.

I WON'T GO! I'M STAYING HERE, YOU GET THAT?!

All the days, I let my son stay over at other's house makes me feel as if I could have done something better with him in those days instead of keeping him away from me.

Mingyu.

I watch as Mingyu's teary eyes snap towards my brother from me before he nods, causing me to stand up and walk backwards.

I SAID, NO! I scream, my face a mess just like my feelings.

I watch as he takes the masks in my brother's hand before wearing it, walking towards me as I glide down the floor, burying my face in my knees as I keep on shaking my head.

Then I feel my body being lifted up and I am in his arms, fighting to stay with Daamin. I watch as Mingyu walks away with me in his arms and Daamin's face, fades from my view.

NO!

Shh. Breathing unevenly, I bury my face on his chest, hiding my face from everyone staring at us.
