Why do I feel uneasy when she talks to Seungmin?
Thoughts are clouding Hyunjin's mind while he is on his way home. He feels like he has forgotten something important but every time he tries to remember it, only Heerin comes to his mind.
Screw it
He ruffles his hair frustratedly. He fished out his phone from his jeans pocket after seating on the bus.
5 missed calls from Innie😊 20 unread messages from Innie😊
It's odd for Jeongin to call and message him this much. Jeongin isn't the type who will call someone if there's nothing to worry about; emergency.
Hyunjin instantly dials his number as nervous sweats build on his forehead.
Hello?
He heard the person from the other line. His voice is rather sad.
What happened?
Where have you been,Hyunjin? You know she needs you by her side
And it clicks him. Mum.
I-
Just come here.
I'll be there shortly
Jeongin hums and ends the call. The digital in Hyunjin's grab falls to the ground. He cupped his face and cried. At this point, he couldn't careless if people around him will look at him weirdly. His main focus is to reach there and to make sure she's okay.
Please be okay, please

"Innie" Hyunjin cries out and his friend turns around to look at his messy form. He runs to Hyunjin side and pulls him into a tight hug.
"She's going to be alright" Jeongin soothes him even though Hyunjin knows exactly how scared the younger guy is too.
They wait in the waiting room as time passed. Hyunjin's mom is still in the emergency department. Fighting for her survival as the nurses working hard to help her.
Jeongin has informed the others about the situation. Of course it's a shocking news for them since they've never knew about his mum's condition. After a good 10 minutes, Hyunjin can see their figures running to him, asking Jeongin what happened. Jeongin just shook his head also having no idea why suddenly everything leads this way.
Hyunjin pays no attention to them as his eyes travel to the petite body who is hiding behind the two males. She had her head down whilst she stared at the white marbled floor.

"Hyunjin, you can't wait here forever. It's been 3 hours. I know she's strong. Let's get back home first, you've been wearing that t-shirt for almost a day." Hyunjin keeps quiet, zooming out.
"Hyunjin" seungmin calls him again, snapping him out from his daydream.
"Let me wait here. You guys can head home first. I'll be fine" Hyunjin mumbles, too weak to speak louder.
"I'll accompany you" she volunteers and sits down two seats away from him, too afraid to come closer.
"Okay then" they said before walking away. Jeongin stays still on his place. After a few seconds, he goes to the older guy. "Hyung, please stay strong for aunt, for me at least" Jeongin said, holding onto Hyunjin's cold hands. Hyunjin nods, smiling weakly at the younger. "I'll try"
Hyunjin is too occupied with his thoughts as a thick atmosphere wrap the two of them. No one speaks. Both are just praying for the best.
"Is anyone here a family of Mrs Hwang?" Hyunjin stands up almost immediately and walks up to the guy in lab jacket.
"Im her son" the doctor nods and refers to the paper in his hand. He sighs.
"I'm sorry. We've tried our best" he pats his back. Hyunjin feels like his world comes crushing down.
She is the only family he has and now she's gone, forever.
His lips are trembling and his legs start to give up on his body. He falls to the ground. His knees having contact with the cold floor.
He feels himself being pulled in a warm embrace. She brushes her fingers through his hair in a comforting way, whispering 'it's okay to cry' on loop.
He wraps his arms around her small body and leans his head on her chest, crying his heart out. Her calm heartbeat easing the younger. Hyunjin pulls out, his hands still tightly around the latter as he stares at her. Heerin feels her heart aches as her hand immediately strokes his face, wiping the tears that are running down his face like a waterfall. "Cry"
Hyunjin did as he was told. Choking on the threatening tears, more and more keep rolling from his eyes. It is unstoppable. Heerin grabs the back of his head, pushing it to her shoulder as Hyunjin follows, too weak to protest. He continued crying, being patted by the older on the back.
Mum, please be back
