[COMPLETED] the first ; 첫 (SVT Vernon X Reader)

36: Can I get their signatures?

"You know what? This is my fault," I heard Soonyoung-hyung said.
I was tempted to agree with him, but I know full well that it wasn't his fault. It's mine.
"No, Soonyoung, it's not," Cheol-hyung told him.
"But I could've just let my phone there. Or went inside with her at the very least. I could have done something."
"You couldn't have. That was no accident. It was planned."
"But Hyung-"
"Shut up."
He kept quiet, giving up with a loud sigh.
"Yah, Hansol. What are you thinking about?" Cheol-hyung nudged my foot, as we three gathered around Potato, still unconscious.
"Nothing, Hyung. I just want her to wake up," I just said.
"Don't worry much, arasseo? We'll get them. He's never failed me. You know they've got a reputation." (Understand?)
Yes. I know that, too. But...
"Hyung, how do you know him, though? You two seemed close. Except that both of you live in Daegu."
Cheol-hyung just shrugged. "Well, that's just about it. We both live in Daegu."
"How are you two so close?"
"Our brothers are close friends. Then they learned that we are, you know, idols. It just kind of revolved around that."
"Daebak. Do you know the rest, too?" (Amazing.)
"Well, Wonwoo seems pretty close with Namjoon-hyung."
"Jinjja? How are y'all so close to them?" (Really?)
"It's... a leader kind of thing. I believe Soonyoung's got Hoseok-hyung on speed dial, too."
I saw Hosh-hyung's eyebrows went up. "Eo-eotteoke ara?" (How do you know that?)
"I know everything." He just said, and we all kept quiet again.

I looked at Potato. She has been like that for almost 2 hours now. I tried to distract myself from worrying, but nothing worked.
I am so close to crawling back to my hole, but she needs me. My Potato needs me.
Moments later, the other hyungs and Aerin-noona have arrived, their faces all worried for her.
"Mwo- mwo- What happened? Yah, what happened to my dongsaeng?" (What- what-)
Cheol-hyung decided to answer for me. "Inna happened." Wait- what?
"But I-"
"I know, Babe. I know. Let's not go down the blaming ourselves road again, please. I'm tired. That's all I've ever heard from Soonyoung since the car."
Aerin just nodded glumly. "Will she be okay when she wakes up?"
"Yeah, she'll be okay. The doctors said everything was successful. Let's cheer up for her sake."
"Geurae. Himnae, Hansol-ah." (Alright. Cheer up.)
I smiled at Aerin-noona. "Ne." (Yes.)

Another two hours have passed and Potato still hasn't woke up. Aerin-noona was just back from home, getting some clothes and stuff for Potato.
She nudged my shoulder. "Yah."
"Ne, Eomma?" I smiled at her. (Yes.)
"Go home and fix yourself. You've not rested a bit since the fansign. Go home and take a shower, and then comeback. I'll take care of her. 😉"
"I've rested enough with all the sitting here. I'm good. Kamsahaeyo, Eomma." (Thank you.)
"Dakchyeo. Go home and shower. Ga! Ga!" She dragged to the hallway and closed the door behind me. Aigoo. (Shut up. Go! Go!)
I saw Myeongho-hyung sitting outside, a cup of coffee in his hands.
Weird. Hyung isn't a coffee person.
"Hyung," I greeted him.
"Oh, Hansollie. Yah, anja." (Take a seat.)
"Coffee?"
"Kidding me?"
"Aniyo?" (No?)
"Ani. Hot choco." (No.)
"Oh."
I listened to him slurp some of the hot choco, and heard my own breathing.
"Woah. For how long were you holding that?"
"I don't even know I stopped breathing properly. Mianhaeyo." (Sorry.)
"Aigoo. Aigoo~ Yah."
"Ne?" (Yes?)
"Gwaenchanha?" (Are you okay?)
"Ne?" (Yes?)
I watched Ming-hyung roll his eyes. "I said, are you okay?"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"Hmm."
"Yeah, okay. Maybe I'm not that okay right now."
"I see."
"I think..."
"You think? I wasn't aware you were capable of thinking."
"Yah."
"Mworagoyo?" (What did you say?)
"Eo-eobseumnida." (No-nothing.)
"ㅋㅋ Mian. Continue what you were saying." (Sorry.)
"I think it's my fault."
"Everybody does."
"I know. I know it's my-"
"Pabo. Everybody thinks it's their fault. Everybody feels like they could have done something. But it happened. It has happened. The best we could do is hope for the best." (Idiot.)
I just fell into silence. I know he's right. I just can't seem to push myself to believe him.
The door of Potato's room suddenly burst open.
"HANSOL!" Ah, shit. "You idiot! I told you to go home! And grab a meal while you're at it!"
Aerin-noona started walking towards me, so I immediately got up and started walking away. "N-ne! Annyeong!" I waved her goodbye, before she could break into a run. It'd be a problem if she catches me.

"Hello?"
"Joon-oppa."
"Oh! Aerin, right?"
"Yes. I have something to tell you."
"Is my sister okay?"
"Geuge... She wasn't." (About that...)
I heard Y/N's brother sigh at the other end and took some silence before responding. "Explain."
"She was attacked. We think we know who's responsible, and we're currently looking for her. Y/N's currently recovering. She hasn't woke up yet. It's been four hours. I'm sorry for calling you this late."
More silence. God, I can't take this. "I'm really, really sorry."
"Was the operation done well?"
"Yes."
"Call me at once when she wakes up, okay? I'll be there in..."
HE'S FLYING TO SEOUL AT THIS HOUR?! "...2 hours. Please take care of her. Thank you."
"O-okay." I heard a short beep, silencing the call to an end. Wow. He really does love his sister that much.
"Eo-eonni?"
O_O "D-dongsaengieya. Gwaenchanha? Apeuda?" (You okay? Does it hurt?)
"Aniyo. Naneun... eodie?" (No. Where... am I?)
"The hospital. What's the last thing you remember?"
"Something..." She brought her hand up and touched her head. "...falling on me. Goddamnit."
"Do you still know us all?"
"Oh, what are you doing? Of course I do. There's Cheol-oppa, Han-oppa, Josh-oppa, Jun-oppa, Woo-oppa, Hosh-oppa, Hoon-oppa, Seokmin-oppa, Ming-oppa, Gyu-oppa, Seungkwan-oppa, and Chan-oppa."
Okay. What?
"Yeodongsaeng, not a good joke."
She smiled. "Sorry. Of course I can't forget about him."
I let out a sigh of relief. "Let me call your brother aga-" "Eonni."
Y/N was holding my arm, a look of determination set in her eyes. "Whatever I do, please support me. Please don't do anything."
"What do you mean?"
"You'll know soon enough. Just... trust me please."
"Arasseo. Now let me call Joon-oppa. He said to call him once you wake up. He'll be here in two hours."

¤ 한솔 ¤

It took me an hour to "fix myself" and grab a meal before heading back to the hospital. When the hyungs noticed me, they all grabbed their coats and we went outside altogether.
We immediately went straight to Potato's room upon reaching the hospital.
She was sitting up when I entered, reading a magazine. I watched as she looked up, and saw recognition dawn on her face. Thank God.
With a smile, I greeted her. "Hi."
"No- no way," she said, smiling.
"How do you feel?"
"Y-you're-"
The others have entered now too, and we stood circled around Y/N's bed.
"I'm what?"
"Vernon. Vernon-oppa. And you guys-you're SEVENTEEN!"
What? Did she just call me-
"Eonni! WHY IS SEVENTEEN IN MY ROOM? AM I IN A SECRET CAMERA?! OH MY GOD-"
Aerin-noona moved closer to her, softly holding her arm. "Yeodongsaeng-ah..."
"Eonni!!! I'm so happy! Ah~ gomawo! Can I get their signatures?" (Thank you.)
She doesn't remember me.
She doesn't remember everything.
Heol. (Wow.)
