"I'm sorry for leaving you..."

***

The lights were off in the bathroom, I could vividly notice through the crack. I tried to turn the handle but it wouldn't loosen. Recalling the pills that consisted in his cabinet made me anxious, in worries of what he'd do to himself.

I wasn't sure what to do, I quickly ran upstairs. I grabbed my phone on the dresser, unsure if I should ask for help. Glancing up at my appearance; my neck reddened with finger marks. I ripped a piece of fabric that would work as a scarf. Rather than calling for help, someone else was calling me tremendously. Twenty-five missed calls from my cousin. A message also from her.

'My mom is in the hospital!'

'Where the fuck are you?'

'Quit sleeping around you whore and fix this!!'

'She's on the verge of dying! How can you do this! She's taken care of you!"

I hurried to gather my belongings, rushing downstairs, glancing back to Mr. Jeon's bedroom. I ran to his bathroom door, placing my ear on the door.

Silence only heard.

I softly knocked on the door. No answer.

"Mr. Jeon, Please. It's not your fault. For whatever it is, I know it's not your fault. Please, please don't hurt yourself."

My phone rang, it was Eunwoo. I cursed in my head, praying to god that everything would be okay. That Mr. Jeon wouldn't beat himself about it.

As much as my heart urged to stay, the endless calls also worried me exceptionally. I left the house in continuation of prayers in my head. My aunt is a bitch, but she's the only blood relative that I have, a part of my mother's side. Respect and values were still in me.

I reached the hospital, thoughts lingering with Mr. Jeon. Eunwoo texted me the room number, I cranked open the door. Eunwoo and her mother were sitting along the bed, giggling as they were watching a variety show on a laptop. I walked with heavy steps into the room, amazed with the scene.

They turned around as they noticed my presence.

"So is this what I have to do to see my niece again?" She smiled widely, I scanned her body to see her reason at the hospital. A simple bandage wrapped around her ankle. I ignored her question and stormed out of the room to ask the nurse in clarification.

"What's wrong the patient in room 110?" I rubbed my forehead in frustration.

"Give me one moment."

"She sprained her ankle, she can actually go home now. We told her she could leave earlier but she demanded to stay. The price of her room will be charged double."

My jaw clenched closed, I could sense the blood boiling inside me.

I burst into the room as the sliding door slammed briefly. "Are you serious?"

They stood from their eyes glued to the screen startled.

"Did you pay the bill?" Eunwoo placed a hand on her hip.

I scoffed. "Bill? Verge of dying? Seriously?"

"Y-Yah! I was on the verge of dying! Don't you glare at my daughter like that!" She held Eunwoo in her arms as she pretended to be saddened. I attempted to let out my anger with a large sigh, but that didn't work.

"Mom, she's been staying with some other rich man. She's getting paid so much, but she left so she could keep it all to herself. See look what she's wearing. All men clothing." 'Slut' Eunwoo emphasized with her mouth.

"Is that true? Wow, you've really become a whore, haven't you? Are you enjoying that dirty cash!?" She slapped me harshly across the face.

My fist tightening with the grip of my nails.

"Pay for the hospital bill and leave us some cash. Then never comeback, I don't want to be related with a fifthly thing like you."

I nodded my head as I faked my understanding. "I was actually worried that you had fallen ill. I can't believe that I still had the heart to run over here to see if you were okay. You've mistreated me and abused me awfully, only in greed of my hard earnings. I thank you for taking me in. I know it was for my parent's insurance and whatever I could own in stake from their company. But I'll never forgive you for what you did. I'm sure my late parents won't either. I should've left earlier, thank you for giving me the permission to actually leave. I hope to never see you both, if we do, let's act like we don't know one another."

I turned my back directly, they didn't say anything back nor could they. I blinked away their existence and recalled Mr. Jeon's. My heart panicking, thoughts of all the possible scenarios. I caught a cab almost barely as they passed with occupancy. The drive was around fifteen minutes back. My phone was running out of battery, I remembered almost barely the name of his medications. I googled Zoloft as that was easier to recall. It was taken for depression, anxiety. I could perceive from the way his father treated him, he was in the state of depression. From the very first day he was in anger with the call of his father.

Another medication that almost slipped my mind, crap I couldn't remember. I glanced up, noticing the busy streets. 'Olaf and Elsa show.' A sign in blue glimmered. As silly as it was, the name Olaf was similar to the medication Olansipine? Olanzipene? I searched one of the two of my guesses. They were both close, Olanzapine. I read the conditions related to the medicine...

'Mania associated with Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar I Disorder with Most Recent Episode Mixed

Schizophrenia'

Reading upon those words my heart hammered, it's vibration radiating and shattering across my body in ache. It didn't make sense, but yet it all did. I anxiously tapped my fingers to my mouth, my soul heavy with his condition.

I recalled the gossip at the shop yesterday, "I heard that he's sick..."
"...he's getting treatment..."

I arrived at the manor, I paid the cab driver the last twenty dollars that I had. The gate and house were still open as I left.

I rushed into his expanse, I dropped all my belongings.

My heart moments to shoot out of my chest of the scene before me.

He was standing on a chair, finishing to secure the proximity along his neck covered by a hanging thick rope. Tears falling down his distraught face, hands quivering as he was about to let go...
