The Way You Look at Me | Chenji

Chapter 2

Chenle's almost lifeless body is on the stretcher.

Doctors and nurses zooming pushing it across the white-colored hallways of the hospital.

Rushing through the door of the emergency room.

Jisung is also helping the doctors pushing the stretcher. Pushing it as hard as he can. Looking out to his boyfriend.

He held his boyfriend's hand momentarily.

"Lele?? Lele! Please stay with me! You're gonna be okay, i promise.."

They reached the emergency room and quickly asisted Chenle's body inside.

Before Jisung could enter, one of the nurses stopped him.

"Sir, you're not allowed to go inside... Please wait in here..." the nurse said.

Jisung stood outside the door. Before the door closes, he asked the nurse.

"Is he gonna be alright?"

The nurse smiled and assured to him.

"Don't worry. He's gonna be fine. We'll do our very best to save him..."

And then the door closes.

Jisung slumped on the floor, hugging his knees.

He whispers small prayers, praying that his boyfriend would be okay.

An hour has passed and Chenle's family arrived at the hospital.

The nurses informed them on what happened before going outside the emergency room.

Jisung stood up when he heard some noises coming towards him.

He sees Mrs. Zhong rushing to him.

"Mrs. Zhong, Chenle is-"

Before he could continue, a strong slap hits his face.

He was shocked.

Mrs. Zhong slaps his face.

"It's all your fault! If you had stayed away from my son, this would not happen!"

Mr. Zhong quickly grabs his wife out of the scene.

"Stop it! You're causing a scene in here.."

"I dont care! It's that beggars fault!"

She pointed at Jisung.

"It's all your fault! Get out of here!" she sobbed.

Jisung could feel a sharp sting on his left cheek.

Mr. Zhong looks to him sadly.

"I'm sorry Jisung. But can you please leave?"

Jisung looked up.

"Okay, Mr. Zhong."

He walked away with his both shoulders slumped down.

When he turned towards the corridor, he saw Grandma Zhong sitting on one of the benches.

The old lady saw him and signals him to sit beside her.

Jisung walks slowly towards the old lady. Just when he stood up in front of Grandma Zhong, tears starts to form on his eyes.

He couldnt take it anymore.

He breaks down in front of the old lady.

Grandma Zhong quickly stood up and pulled Jisung into a tight hug.

"It's all my fault... I could have save him..."

"Ssshhh..." Grandma Zhong pats his back to comfort him.
