Undelivered Truth [ SACHAENG ]

Back

"We have a survivor here," a firefighter hollered. Sana rushed to him, watching as he grabbed rocks big pile, throwing it elsewhere.

Under the pile, laid Yanan and he was fully awake. Clearly, in a state of shock, he looked around with his innocent eyes, until he caught sight of his mother. He couldn't help but burst into tears as Sana ran to him, hugging him tightly.

"Ma'am, we need to check him up," a paramedic interrupted.

"WE HAVE ANOTHER SURVIVOR~" his fellow yelled. "Bring me a gurney! Hurry!"

"Mom, teacher Jason," cried Yanan. He looked to Chaeyoung's direction, while guilt struck him. The paramedic carried Yanan to one of many ambulances on scene, while Sana slowly approached Chaeyoung. She watched the firefighters carrying him away from the rubble. His white shirt was fully red from blood, most likely from the open wound on his head that was gushing blood.

"Chaeyoung," she called lowly as she stood beside him.

"His heartbeat is weak! We don't know if he can make it!" One paramedic yelled. "Let's go! We have to hurry," he added, rushing to one of many ambulances on site.

Sana accompanied her son to the hospital. She watched as her only child took his treatment, then Jooheon entered the room in panic.

"LEAVE!" She yelled. "YOU WERE ONE OF THE FUNDERS! YOU CONTRIBUTED IN THIS, ALMOST KILLING OUR SON AND HIS CLASSMATES!"

Jooheon watched his wife rage at him while Hinata tried to calm her down. "Chaeyoung was there too," she cried and looked up to the ceiling. "God, please save him. Bring him back to me alive and well."

Sana no longer cared to remain secretive. She doesn't care if her husband heard; all she wants now is for Chaeyoung to survive.

Jeongyeon and Momo were waiting for Chaeyoung's surgery to finish. Sana was there too, sitting in the waiting area with her son's head on her lap, in a deep sleep. A few scratches can be seen on his arms and head but luckily, it was nothing too serious. Jooheon was staring at him from afar when two police officers crept up from behind him.

"Lee Jooheon?"

"Yes?"

"You need to come with us. Your name came up in the investigation we're doing in regards to the school collapsing."

Jooheon sighed and looked at Sana who returned a look of disgust. The police officer cuffed him and dragged him away.

Sana and Hinata joined Jeongyeon and Momo, both beyond worried. The doctor then came out after what seemed like forever.

"How is Chaeyoung?" Momo asked.

The doctor sighed. "We did our best but-"

"No, don't say it," Sana interrupted him, voice breaking.

"As the paramedic said, it looks like part of the ceiling fell on his body. He shielded a child with his body and it gravely affected this patient. The anesthetic will wear off soon. I can't promise that he will wake up. There is a 20% chance that he might wake up this week." He lowered his head, "I am so sorry."

Jeongyeon comforted Momo as she sobbed while Sana shook her head in disbelief. "He protected Yanan with his body. He protected his own son," she teared.

Jeongyeon and Momo heard her clearly and exchanged looks of confusion. Hinata heard too, so he stared at her with a questioning look. "Sana? Are you serious?"

Sana nodded, looking up at her father. "Chaeyoung is Yanan's real father. He was and still is the love of my life and nothing will ever change that." She closed her eyes and cried. "I just hope that he will wake up so I can spend the rest of my life with him and our Yanan."
