Yunu and Heesun rode in his bike, since it was the fastest way now. He didn't care if he was still healing, or if he was getting worse. Heesun tried to take the car, but Yunu had pulled her to the other instead.

"Hello. This is _______ hospital. We have a patient named Ong Hyejin, and she gave us this number to call."

"Sorry, what? What happened to her?"

"There was a minor accident on the main road. She's not in danger, but has some injuries. But may we know who you are?" he didn't answer as he quickly told Heesun and they ran out.

As they reached the hospital, both ran in to the information desk. They ran to the room they were told, Yunu ahead of Heesun.

"Excuse me, I'm looking for Ong Hyejin." Yunu asked the first nurse in the ward he found.

"Ah, you must be who I called earlier. She's in ward 3, over there." Yunu ran to the room the nurse pointed, and Heesun soon caught up with him. They went in and moved the curtain, and saw Hyejin asleep, with bandages on her head and leg. Heesun dropped her bag and held her.

"Hyejin! Wake up! Are you OK? I'm here. Come on wake up!"

Hyejin slowly got up, and looked at the two around her. Looking at her sister who was still holding her hands, she pushed her away, and held her knees.

"Hyejin, what's wrong? Why are you being like this?" Yunu stood closer to them as Heesun tried to talk to her.

"Hah! Why? Why don't you ask yourself if you're so smart." the two stood there, shocked at Hyejin's retort.

"Yah! What are you saying?" Heesun was on the verge of tears.

"When father is here, you don't care to help. All you do is watch when I suffer. Don't you think that was why I didn't call you, and called this asshole instead?" Yunu was taken aback by her words. They both noticed the dark patch in her head bandage getting bigger.

"Hyejin I'm sorry, but stop being like this. You're injured!" Heesun tried to hold her but she pushed her sister away, and started crying. Blood was now leaking from the bandage. Heesun tried hold her again, but failed. Now Hyejin was fussing around.

"You stubborn b****! Stop it!" Yunu shouted as he stopped Hyejin from fussing anymore. He held her arms together, and looked straight at her in the eye, and saw something he never saw before in her. Hyejin was trying to get out of his grip, but Yunu was too strong.

"Keep her like that. S***, she's bleeding again. I'll go get the nurse." Heesun ran out as she spoke. Hyejin and Yunu had a staring contest when she left, Hyejin finally loosing her strenght and falling back. Yunu held her from the side now, and slowly laid her down. She passed out, and he could feel that she was very tired. Heesun came back with the nurse who took her away. While waiting, Yunu caught Heesun shedding tears.

"Hey, don't cry. It'll be OK."

"You don't understand. Hansol and I love her, but when our dad's around, we can't do much for her. We're cowards. We're scared he would hate us if we show our love for Hyejin in front of him. I promised omma to take care of them, but this is what I've done..."

The nurse returned with a sleeping Hyejin. Both ran to her, but the nurse stopped them.

"She's stressed. That can cause more damage. Someone needs to stay over, but looks like your not on good terms..." Heesun stepped in.

"No no. It's just me. I'm her sister. She's not in good terms with the family. Yunu, you stay. She called you, so you staying would be better." Yunu looked at Heesun, who seemed strict about her decision. She soon left, leaving Yunu watching her sister.

After a while, Hyejin woke up to see Yunu asleep. She looked around the empty room, looking for her sister. She reached for her phone that was left on the table next to her, and called Heesun.

"Heesun..."

"Oh my gosh! Hyejin! Are you OK?"

"I want to come home. Come pick me up." she put the phone down, and noticed that Yunu was awake. He got up and walked out of the room.

"Whe... Where are you going?"

"Home. Heesun's picking you up, so I can go. Bye." and he left. Hyejin sat there thinking about all that happened until now. She has never felt so tired and done with her life before. She laid back, tears falling.

"Mummy... I wish you were here... It's so tiring... I can't live like this anymore..."

"Hye... Hyejin." she got up to see Heesun was already here. Her sister ran to her and hugged her tight. This time, Hyejin didn't resist, because she knew it would be of no use. She just sat back until the nurse came with crutches for her.

"Use these for around three weeks, by then your leg should be better. And don't think to much, your head is still healing as well." both girls then head home.

Hyejin came out of the car with her backpack and crutches. Hansol wanted to help her, but she simply went out and started to walk away. She couldn't attend classes for three days, and that made her fall back in a lot of work. Even though she was finding it difficult alone with crutches and her supplies, she continued the day.

Her last class was English, and then she would have two free lessons. She walked from the cafeteria back to the building, but lost balance because of her bag, and fell. But that's what she thought had happened. Hyejin realised that she was not on the floor like her things, but it was as if she was floating. She looked up, feeling an arm around her, soon realising her situation.

Yunu pulled her up to stand, and carried her to a nearby bench to sit her down. He passed her her crutches, and picked up her bag, carrying it on one shoulder. Yunu didn't speak the whole time, but Hyejin didn't bother. She got up and put out her hand for her bag.

"No. Go to class. I'll bring it." this was the first time she ever saw him being this strict. Afraid, she quietly listened and went to her class. Yunu sat next to her, giving her her bag and taking her crutches to put aside. He was being scarily caring, something she never saw in him before.

After class, Hyejin tried to pick up her bag, but Yunu beat her to it. She looked at him in disbelief.

"You have lessons now. I'm free, so give me my bag. I need to go." but he only gave her the crutches and walked out. She followed behind him, and reached the library. He put the bag on a chair, and Hyejin decided to sit at the table. As she sat, Yunu took her crutches and put them aside.

"Stay here. I'll pick you up after class." and he left, leaving a surprised Hyejin behind.
