Love Is Pain

Chapter 24 - Hospital

"You ready?" Taehyung asked Jennie who was standing beside him.

"No, not really." Jennie nervously shaked her head. "What if he doesn't want me there."

Taehyung sighed. If only she could understand how much Jiyong hyung cares for her. He was pretty sure that Jiyong truly had a special spot for Jennie out of all the siblings. "Jennie, trust me on this, he would be very happy to see you."

"Yeah." Jennie sighed, sucking in a deep breath. She then looked at Taehyung expectantly.

"What?" Taehyung asked, confused.

Jennie lifted up both their intertwined hands. "Your holding my hand a bit too tight."

"Oh." Taehyung blushed, immediately removing his hand away. Jennie laughed at his cute
reaction before mustering up the courage to walk in to the hospital room where Jiyong was staying in.

She stopped at the door to see if he was in there. Sure enough he was but he was staring deeply at a painting in front of him that she could see from the view through the door. Jihoon had taken to sleep on the little couch opposite the bed and Yoona was sleeping soundly on a little chair, her head leant against Jiyong's hand. The brunette pushed open the door and smiled, waiting for Jiyong to turn around and see her.

"Jennie?" Jiyong questioned, his face immediately getting more colour and liveliness into it.

"Oppa, I'm so sorry." Jennie apologised, walking up to Jiyong and standing beside him whilst holding his hand. "I acted too rashly and didn't think too well. I should have stayed at the hospital and for that, I'm really sorry. I think I understand now and I hope you can forgive me."

"Oh, Jen." Jiyong was on the verge of tears, squeezing her hand tightly. "I thought I had truly lost you that day so I'm the one that should be sorry for not telling you sooner. I'm so glad your back now."

"Jennie?" A voice called out. She whipped her head around in the direction and found it was Yoona, who it seemed had awoken from her sleep.

"Hey, unnie." She waved, smiling. Yoona returned her smile, happy she was back again.

"I wanted to tell you so badly." Yoona explained, getting up. "But Jiyong promised me to never tell you or Jihoon about it."

"It's alright." Jennie forgave her, hugging her back. "Family is more important and nothing can break us apart."

"Noona stop acting so cringey, it makes me want to throw up." Jihoon interrupted, coming from the couch to where Yoona and Jennie was standing.

"And to think I was going to miss you." Jennie teasingly patted Jihoon's head who tried to swat her hand away in annoyance.

"So, when are you going to get discharged?" Jennie asked Jiyong.

"Actually," Jiyong began, a worried expression on Jennie's face.

"Did something happen while I was gone?" Jennie asked, scared.

"Tomorrow." Jiyong exclaimed. "I'm getting discharged tomorrow."

"Yay." Jennie screamed, jumping on the bed before realising Jiyong still had wires attached him. "Sorry."

"It's alright." Jiyong laughed. Then he looked around abruptly, searching for someone. "Where did Taehyung go?"

"He was waiting outside for me." Jennie replied, checking the time on her watch. "I forced him to come with me so maybe we should head back now."

"Leaving so early." Jiyong pouted, trying to make his little sister stay. "Why not stay here, I'm sure Jihoon would be willing to share the couch with you."
