"Here, share it with your dad,"Mr.Kim hands me the bag full of food.

"It's healthy, I asked the doctor before buying them," he says.

I nod. Taking the bag from his hand, I bow towards him before entering the room.

"Appa! Here, Mr.Kim brought this for you," I chirp.

I was faking everything and I knew that he knew too but he din't say anything and so did I.

He sits up and I walk closer, taking a seat on the chair beside him.

"I'll feed you," I say.

Picking up some food I gesture for him to open his mouth. He chews on it and with every bite he takes I feel relieved. He din't throw up, my insides jump in happiness.

"Jennie, take care of your brother okay?"

"Okay!"

"Jennie,"he says sternly.

"Yes?"

"You are a brave girl, I know you will deal with this,yea?"

"Yea,"I mange to reply.

"Why are you saying all this, dad?" I ask. Though, I knew exactly why he was.

"Simply, be strong okay?"

"Hmm..."

He then starts coughing, I look at him worried.

"Are you okay?" I panic.

He continues coughing and yet he nods. He then stops and I stand up to hold onto him. He shivers under my touch. And then he seems to choke on something. He stands up and I help him. Panic floods my mind.

He then rushes to the washbasin and holds onto its sides.

I look at him, scared and worried. His head hangs low. He then throws up everything that he ate.

He doesn't hold onto the sides anymore and his entire weight is put against me and I lean onto the wall for support. I can't hold him anymore. I see his eyes shut as he collapses to the ground.

I panic again. The doctor! I run around the corridor and when I spot a nurse I tell her everything. She makes me sit on a chair.

The doctors enter the room seconds later but they don't let me in. Some other people enter and soon my dad is carried to another room. I follow them with fast steps but they don't let me in.

I need to tell people at home.

I call Mr.Kim using a stranger's phone.

"D-dad, he was taken s-somewhere," I manage to spill the words.

The call is ended and I thank the stranger before sitting again. My head is throbbing and I press my forehead with my fingers to lighten the pain.

Mr.Kim arrives with Taehyung and I stand up.
He gestures for me to sit and Taehyung sits beside me. He gives me a slight hug and the warmth helps to calm me down but within seconds I gush out my emotions.
I start wailing in his arms.

"D-dad, they took him in, t-they wont let me in," I say in between my sobs.

The doctor comes out of the room and I stand up once again.

"What's wrong? What happened to Appa?" I ask.

"I'm sorry but you can't visit him, he is still unconscious, the infection has started to spread internally," his head hangs low.

That's all he says before leaving. I collapse to the ground. Taehyung helps me up. He doesn't let me go.

"D-dad will come back, won't he?" I ask and Mr.Kim slightly nods.

"Let's leave for now," Mr.Kim says.

I don't deny and Taehyung continues to hold onto me.

Jungkook runs into my arms once he sees me.

"Noona, What happened to dad? Is he alright?" He says with his eyes full of tears.

"He is," I mutter.
