Chapter 19

Mina PoV 

The sound of the ringtone woke me up to the sound of cars driving around outside the window. I slowly rolled over and picked up the phone. 

"Yeoboseyo?" I asked. 

"Mina-yah!" The voice said.

"Unnie?!" I said, opening my eyes. 

"YAH! How could you forget me?" She scolded. 

"Ani...it's just..I wasn't expecting you to call me...especially this early." I stuttered. 

"Do you know what time it is?" Unnie asked. 

"...no?" 

"It's 9 am, dummy." 

"WHAT?" I yelled. I immediately covered my mouth and looked around. I probably looked like a fool because no one besides Jaemin, was in this room. 

"Yeah," Unnie said, "Now...you should be at the company soon right? So...you want to meet up?" 

"Uh...it's not a good time to do that...but do you want to meet up at a café later today?" 

"Mm? Waeyo?" She asked. 

"Well...I'm at the hospital right now, taking care of someone and I can't leave them till they wake up." I explained. 

"Ooooo, is it you're boooyyfriiiennnd?" Unnie teased. 

"Yah, no it's not!" I whined. 

"I'm just joking. I'm just joking." 

I groaned in annoyance. "You are so annoying...you know that?"

"But you know you love me." 

"That doesn't make you any less annoying."

"I know," Unnie sighed, "Well, text me a good time to meet up. I'll be staying in a penthouse downtown ish. I'm on break for about a week, so let's get together with TY and Mark."

"Alright," I said, "I'll call you later then." 

"Yep, bye bye."

"Bye bye." I said, hanging up the phone. 

I turned off my phone and snuggled myself back into the covers of the bed. Wait, when did I get under the covers? Wasn't I sleeping on top of them earlier? 

I rolled around and came face to face with a smiling Jaemin. His eyes were open. I couldn't believe it. He was smiling at me. I felt my tears well up in my eyes. Soon, they poured down the side of my face and I couldn't believe I was looking at Jaemin. 

"J-Jaemin." I stuttered. I gently placed a hand over his cheek to make sure this was all real. 

"Mina." Jaemin said, grinning from ear to ear. 

"You're awake. You're alive." I said. 

Jaemin smiled and looked at me with his beautiful eyes. "Of course I'm alive. I would never leave you on a hook like that." 

I continued to sob with a hand over my mouth to muffle them. 

Jaemin pulled me close to him and gently stroked my hair. I held tightly onto his shirt and wrapped an arm around his waist. 

"I love you." Jaemin whispered in my ear, kissing it gently. 

I wanted to reply, but I couldn't form any words. I couldn't say anything. I didn't know what to say. I honestly didn't know what to say.

"Mm? Why are you so quiet?" Jaemin asked. 

I shook my head, not wanting to say anything in this moment. 

"Did my Mina miss me?" 

When he claimed me as his, I felt butterflies form in my stomach and I felt all giddy on the inside. I felt so happy in the moment. 

I nodded in response. 

"Mm...I knew she missed me. I missed her too." Jaemin mumbled. 

I chuckled. "I love you, Na Jaemin." 

"I love you mo—"

Suddenly, Jaemin began to cough uncontrollably. 

I quickly got out of bed, poured him a cup of water and called for a doctor. The nurses and doctors quickly came in to check on his vitals and control his breathing. I quickly called Jeno to tell him about Jaemin's awakening. Jeno quickly replied that he was coming with the rest of the boys as soon as possible. 

Jaemin reached out a hand while the nurses checked over his injuries. I walked over and held it gently. Jaemin softly smiled. 

"Jaemin, how are you feeling?" I asked. 

"Better." He croaked out. 

I nodded.

"Mr. Na. It looks like your body is more stable. Now we need to get your ribs fixed." The doctor said.

The doctor continued to talk about how the procedure might go and I just watched Jaemin nod along in understanding. I hadn't realized I was spacing out until Jaemin called my name again. 

I flinched as he called me name again. 

"Y-yeah?" I said. 

Jaemin chuckled softly. "I was asking you if you thought the surgery was appropriate." 

I looked at Jaemin and couldn't myself away from his gaze. "Y-yeah...It's fine. Follow through...it'll be...fine." 

"Good. Now you'll be discharged from the hospital in about a week's time if everything goes as planned." The doctor said. 

"Thanks doc." Jaemin said. 

The doctor bowed before excusing himself to check up on another patient. The nurses followed behind him. 

Jaemin turned his head to look at me and patted the space next to him. 

I sat down on the bed and admired Jaemin's features. I brushed some random hair strands out of his face. I placed a gentle kiss on his cheek. It felt so perfect to see him once more. It felt so good to be able to hold his hand again. It felt so euphoric to be in his presence. 

BANG!!

The door to the hospital room crashed open and the Dreamies all ran in through the door. 

"Jaemin!" They shouted.

Jisung and Jeno rushed over to Jaemin's side. They gave him long and tight hugs. 

"Hyung!" Jisung cried. Tears were gently streaming down his cheeks. Looks like he's still going through puberty. "Hyung! I thought you were dead! I got so scared." 

Jaemin laughed at the baby's comment. "Yah, Jisungie. Paboya, I won't leave you without telling you. I'll always come back. Don't worry, my little baby." 

Jisung continued to cry as Renjun hugged him, allowing him to cry on his shoulder. 

Jeno stood by Jaemin's side quietly, tears slowly escaping his eyes as well. 

"Yah, Jeno-ah. Why are you crying?" Jaemin asked, curiously. 

All attention was turned to Jeno. Jeno never cried unless he was angry. I didn't understand what he could have been angry about. 

"Na Jaemin. How dare you leave me without a message like that? I hate you." Jeno said, roughly. 

Jaemin laughed heartily at Jeno's comment. "Jeno-ah, my cute little friend. I'm sorry. Will you forgive me for my wrong-doing?" 

Jeno sniffled and wiped his tears. He reluctantly nodded and looked at Jaemin through teary eyes. "I love you bro." 

"I love you too, bro." Jaemin smiled. 

Jaemin turned to me and smiled happily. 

I tilted my head slightly and smiled back at him.
