[Chapter 8] "where is she?"

I did not go to school the entire week. I stayed at Taehyung's house and he used me and Jungkook as an excuse to stay back at home.

It had been exactly 10 days since I had seen my dad. Today I was going to school, after an entire week.

My friends surround me as I enter the class.

"What's wrong? Why were you absent?"

That's all I make out from the shoutings.

I tell them the whole thing and they give me pitiful looks and I hate it. Nothing had happened yet. Why were they worried? My dad was alright. He will be back to normal in a few days then why?

I don't say anything. I spend the entire school day while bearing with all the pitiful glances.

Later that evening we visited dad but I never got a chance to meet him. They wouldn't even allow us to peek in through the glass window. He was kept under life control but I never really understood it's importance.

I share a room with Taehyung's sister, Taehee. She was a little ball of fluff. I loved pinching her cheeks while, Jungkook shared a room with Taehyung.

That night I din't know why but I couldn't sleep. I was alright the entire week but today I just couldn't sleep.

I woke up from my half asleep state to loud crying, I din't want to assume that anything was wrong so I lifted myself off bed. I recognized the voice as Jungkook's but why was he crying? .No. It can't be what I thought it was.

I rush to the hall from where the wailing was coming. Jungkook sits on the sofa as he wails. I see Mr.Kim beside him with his head hung low. Taehyung sits silently beside his mother who is weeping. I walk with fast steps to Jungkook, hugging him as I reach.

"What's wrong?" I ask. No response.

I was getting irritated, " what's wrong?" I ask again with a higher tone, my frustration and fear taking over me.

Jungkook looks up at me, "A-Appa h-he is n-no more,"he says.

It takes me time to comprehend what he says.

"A-Appa? But he was alright, h-how?" I ask. I fail to stop the tears that fall down my cheeks.

"He was sent into ventilation about four days ago, the infection had spread and it was hard for him to breathe, he had a heart attack this
m-morning,"Mr.Kim says.

"W-why? WHY DIN'T I KNOW?" I shout.

My legs feel like jelly and I fall onto the ground with a thud. I pull on my hair in frustration. If, if only I had reached home earlier that night. If only I was there to stay by him that night, she wouldn't have thrown it on him. I wouldn't have let her. If only.

I wanted to see her. To ask her, why she had killed my dad. I was furious. The loss of my dad was now clouded by the angriness I felt toward my mom.

"WHERE IS SHE?" I shout.

"I WANT TO MEET HER," my voice echoed. Soon my screaming turns into sobbing. Taehyung hugs me tightly and I let myself be controlled. I wasn't sane anymore.
