20: Nervous

The ambulance kept going in a fast pace as I was frozen looking at Jiyeon's heart rate monitor.
There was a heartbeat but it was so faint.

The medics were keeping a close eye on her and checking her vitals as well as the ambulance sirens just kept going and going.

The drive felt like forever until the ambulance came to a smooth stop. The doors flung open and the medics transferred her bed down and rolled its wheels towards the hospital.

I immediately got out of the ambulance and followed closely behind. The medics then gave her to the nurses of the hospital who quickly rushed her to the emergency room where a doctor was waiting to check on her.

The doctor checked her heartbeat and said, "Good, she has a heartbeat." Then he looked at me and said, "And you are?"

"I'm her friend", I said firmly and he said, "Did you see her intake any illegal drugs when you last saw her before she fainted?"

"What? No, Jiyeon has never taken illegal drugs ever before", I said and the doctor's face scrunched as he looked to one of the nurses and said, "Run a blood test on the girl and find out what's in her system."

He turned to me and said, "Sir, I need you to wait outside the emergency room and I'll just come to you and tell you the results."

"But will she be okay?", I asked because I wanted an answer and the doctor nodded and said, "Yes she'll be fine, it's just that her heartbeat is very week so we have to run some tests on her to see what's in her system."

I nodded and the doctor disappeared behind the doors of the emergency room and I buried my face in my palms as I cried.

Why couldn't I get her out of that room faster, we wouldn't even have to be here.
I could feel my palms getting wet with my tears so I removed them and I scrunched them into my hair in frustration.

I suddenly flinched when I felt someone touch my shoulder. I looked to who it was and saw Jin and Naeun with a tired look on their face and they were a tad bit sweaty.

"Why are you guys sweating?", I asked and Jin was still panting a bit so Naeun answered for him by saying, "We kinda just escaped school when you texted us what happened."

Jin finally caught his breath and asked, "Where's her parents?"

"They're on their way, it's just that, the traffic in the city is holding them back but I'm pretty sure they'll be here soon", I said and then I realized something.

"Oh my god, I'm gonna see her parents", I said, "What are they gonna think of me?"

"Calm down Jimin, it's gonna be fine", Jin said as he rubbed my back with his palm and I shook my head and said, "No it's not."

"Don't you understand Jin", I said as I faced my whole body towards him. "I've known her parents since I was little and they basically trust me a lot with Jiyeon and my stupid head who didn't realize sooner that she didn't really like Jungkook caused this to happen!"

I didn't realize I was practically shouting at this point until I saw the rest of the people who were in the same area as me just stare at me.

Then I said to the people, "I'm sorry." Then they all stopped staring and Jin held me on my shoulders with both hands and said, "Then you gotta man up and tell her parents the truth, that way, they'll know that you're still someone they can trust with their daughter."

Naeun put a hand on Jin's shoulder and said, "Jin's right, as hard as it may be to tell the truth, it's always the best solution, after all, the truth will really set you free."

Not long after, the emergency room's doors opened revealing the doctor and he went up to me and said, "Alright so the tests have been done and your friend has been found to have overdosed on an illegal drug MDMA or more commonly known as ecstasy."

"Ecstasy? But the last thing she ate was just chocolate", I said and the doctor just kept his stern face and said, "I can assure you, the results are not wrong and there is a possibility that the chocolate she consumed contained this drug."

"You're lucky your friend didn't succumb to the overdose, she'll be awake in a few hours or so but she needs to stay in the hospital for a few more days to fully recover, now, if you'll excuse me, I have more patients to attend to", he said.

"She's been transferred to room 706 by the nurses if you want to see her", he added before he finally disappeared into the doors of the emergency room.

I sighed and I was about to say more as Jin and Naeun say beside me when Jiyeon's parents arrived and her mom said, "Jimin what happened?"

I looked at her in panic then I looked at Jin because I didn't know what to say. I couldn't just tell her parents she overdosed on drugs, let alone ecstasy.

Jin answered for me and said, "Umm, Jiyeon accidentally consumed brownies with drugs in them thinking they were just regular brownies."

"Oh my god, that girl and her love for food", her mom said with a sigh and I finally was able to think of something to say and said, "She's never has drugs before that's why she passed out and also because she ate a lot of them."

Then Jiyeon's dad cleared his throat and said, "Umm Jimin, me and my wife need to have a talk with you in private."

I gulped and said, "Sure."

We walked away from Jin and Naeun and we went to an empty part of the hall and her father sighed and said, "We don't know what happened between the two of you but you being here shows that it was just a misunderstanding."

"To be honest Jimin, me and my husband always thought the two of you were eventually gonna end up together and what happened here has wavered our trust", her mom said and I sighed.

"I'm so sorry Mrs. Im, I really didn't mean to hurt her, I swear I was-," I said in a panic but her mom cut me off and said, "We've known you since a child Jimin so we've decided to trust you again."

"But please do not make the same mistake again, we know our daughter and we know that you're the only one who can make her happy, no one else can", her father said and I was tearing up at this point.

My tears finally escaped my eyes when her mother hugged me and said, "Now, when our daughter wakes up, tell her how you really feel."

I pulled away from the hug and said, "Wait, you two knew?"

"Jimin, we may be adults but we're not oblivious, we can't even separate you two and you understand each other better than anyone else", her father said and I hugged him and said, "Thank you Mr. Im"

"You must be hungry, let's go eat at the cafeteria here", he said and I nodded then we went to go and invite Jin and Naeun but Jin politely declined and said, "We're gonna check on Jiyeon, we'll join you shortly."

We ate at the cafeteria and we talked for hours and I explained to her parents the situation and I watched them just laugh at me.

"Mr and Mrs. Im, why are you laughing?" I asked and he said, "Well, back then there wasn't much laws so we got into crazier stuff but I will not believe that you have magic chocolate."

I just sighed and let them continue eating. I was about to say more until I saw Jin and Naeun come running in.

Jin then said, "Jiyeon's awake."
