The Sad Pianist 🎼 ▪︎▪︎▪︎

Pianist 37

I went to school without a wink and since I'm sleepy, I decided to take the bus so I can sleep a bit. I sat on the back and plugged my earphones in and dozed off, I feel someone sit next to me but I already drifted off to sleep and I feel my head  lolling from side to side but I'm too sleepy to fight it off.

I woke up with a start and looked out the window just as the bus pass by our school and immediately buzzed to get down. I hurried down and shook my head, slapping myself awake. I checked my wrist watch and groaned, running full speed inside the campus. I huffed and panted as I dropped down to my chair.

"i barely made i-" I blinked and bowed apologetically at the person next to me. I looked around and found jinyoung on the opposite side. I heaed a sigh as the professor got in  second later. I pulled my backpack to my lap to get my book when someone tapped my back.

"Hmm?"

"You dropped this." I furrowed my brows at the unfamiliar paper and shook my head

"I don't think it's mine." I politely declined but she pushed it to me and said it fell off from my bag. So I said my thanks and received a sticky note and turned around then checked the note. For all of my life? It's written in Korean and under it is a drawing of music notes.

"What's this?" I murmured to myself and just put it in my bag and listened to the lecture.

Jinyoung has been avoiding me and when some girls ask if I was his girlfriend, I just kept silent cause I don't even know if he still wants to be friends with me. I frowned at the thought of losing his as my friend but that's just the way it is huh. People come and go. I thought bitterly

I was on my way back to our unit when I received a long distance call from byul. "Where are you?" she asked as soon as I answered

"Just got back from school, going up to the unit. Why?" It's late night there, what is she calling about?

"Hurry! I don't know but jennie called me but when I answered she did not say anything and the call just got disconnected. I tried calling her again but she's not picking up" I frowned then I hear the elevator ding open

"Ok wait, I'm going up the elevator." I informed her and anxiously tapped on my foot, waiting for me to arrive our floor.

"I'm here." I told moonbyul and looked for jennie

"Jendeukie?" I called out but silence.

"Mandu?" I opened her door but she's not there. I went to mine and left my bag there but jennie's not there either.

"She's not in her room, not on mine either. I don't think she-JENNIE!!" I was going to the washroom when I found jennie on the floor, unconscious. I feel my eyes sting as I start to panic, not knowing what to do then I rememeber I have a medical student on the line.

I crawled for my phone where I dropped it after I scrambled to slap jennie awake "Oh my gosh oh my gosh byul! There's blood!!" I screeched

"Calm down! Calm down! Where did you find her? Where's the blood coming from?!! Call the ambulance!!"

"She's passed out in the washroom and there's a lot of blood on her crotch area. It doesn't look like a normal period! She's been complaining alot for stomach cramps lately." Jennie groans and moves

"She's stirring!" I exclaimed

"I think she's spotting, call 911 and we'll let tae know." she ended the call and I immediately dialled 911, while I tap jennie awake.

P

acing back and forth at the emergency room, the doctor finally came out and I stood up in alarm. "Are you the patient's relative?"

"We're friends and I'm her roommate... her husband is currently on the plane and won't be here til the crack of dawn so..." the docor nodded

"About your friend... you can take a rest for now and we'll inform her husband about everything they need to know." I frowned

"I know I'm not her immediate family member but she's like my sister from a different womb and I need to know she's ok."

The doctor smiles at me and said "She's stable, she just needs a lot of bed rest so her baby can hang in there."

My eyes widened and she chuckled. "You can go see her." I ran towards jennie's room and she looked up to me from her stomach. Then we both cried.

"Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!" I ran up to her and hugged her tightly but not so tight that I'm squashing her.

"I can't believe it. I did a lot of things like drinking soda and jumping and doing a lot heavy work out and I didn't even know!" she cried and I chuckled

"But she's very brave." she nods, tears rolling down her eyes

"I'm sorry baby, mommy didn't know." she whispers to her stomach.

"Tae's on his way." She snapped her head at me and I giggled "don't worry, he doesn't know yet"

"Thank you."

"Do you need anything?" she shook her head.

"I'll just go get something to drink, I'll be back." she nods and I went out of the room and headed to the vending machine when someone grabbed me by the arm.

"You're ok?" I blinked at jinyoung and his disheveled appearance, cupping my face as he look all over my body

"y-yeah." I croaked and he sighed, pulling me to a tight hug

"That jackson! He told me he saw you in an ambulance" I tapped on his back and he let go

"Well... I was in an ambulance but that's because I was taking my roommate." He sighed again and nodded

"Is she ok?" I nodded and smiled at him. He looked at me and then after a while, he smiled back

"I can't not care for you. I know where I stand and I won't cross the line

"not that I'll let you..." I mumbled and he chuckled, nodding

"Right. But don't treat me differently? let's continue being friends?" He held his hand out but I just looked at it an he awkwardly took it back. I hugged him, catching him off-guard.

"Thank you for still wanting to be friends with me."

My heart felt like it broke when seokjin called me saying jisoo is in the hospital. The way he said it, it felt like something bad had happened to her and I hurried over. It was just earlier when she was sitting beside me, her head lolling side to side as she tried to keep her drowsiness but failed. Her back pack was partly transparent and I saw my composition with question marks all over it so I wrote down the title of the song I made for her and stuck it.

I stared at her with him and blinked away the tears that formed my eyes but this is what I brought upon myself. I almost made it, but I guess I was too late. I looked down at my mismatched slippers and smiled bitterly. Giving one last glance at her smiling face, I turned around and walked out of the hospital. She's ok, and that's all that matters.
