Jooheon's POV

I sighed as I closed my eyes and rested my head on the wall. For a split second, I finally was able to rest a bit.

"So, what's next?"

I opened my eyes and faced the source of the voice. Once again I sighed, "I don't know, hyung."

He then said, "Well, we could just ditch her here and call Wonho. And I know thatyou probably know that too, but something is definitely stopping you from doing so."

"Mhm.. I guess you just translated the situation for me," I said to him.

"Can I shoot out my guesses?"

I nodded as a green light for him.

"You love her, don't you?" he asked.

Do I love her?

I mean, I was worried sick, I panicked when she was stabbed, I was furious as shit when Hyungwon admitted that he raped her. But, really? This fast ? So, what do those make me? What does this mean to me?

"God, you're speechless. Look, just made up your mind about what to do next, okay? I'm gonna get us some food."

And with that, he stood up and left me with Changkyun who's asleep next to me. I sighed as I stared at nothing and drowned myself in my own thoughts.

Should I let her go?

-----

I opened my eyes as I heard my name being called out.

"Hyung!" Changkyun said, waking me up, "Wonwoo said that he's done. We can go inside."

I took a deep breath as I collected consciousness.

"Oh, yeah. Okay," I said standing up. I then walk into the room with Changkyun following me behind. My mind is filled with thousands of crazy thoughts and possibilities.

"Hyung?"

"Huh?" I broke out from my thoughts to realize that I've stopped walking.

"You good?" Changkyun asked.

He then continues to try giving me reassurance.

"Look, hyung. You don't have to worry about her anymore. You got her. She's safer in your hands now. I bet she knows that, too. Now, come on."

As he finishes his speech, he grabs my hand and pulls it, guiding me to the room. I then walked up to the room to meet Wonwoo who was about to head out.

"Oh, hyung. We're done cleaning up," he said while taking off his rubber gloves and shoving it to his pocket.

"So, thankfully, Hyungwon didn't stab anything too important that might be able to instantly kill her. But she did lose an abundant amount of blood so we were able to keep everything under control. Anyways, the knife is cleaned and bagged. If you want it you can take it from my office," he explained.

"In conclusion, Y/N is fine. Or at least going to be fine. She's in a coma because of the blood-loss and shock, but she is recovering. So, give her time. I say she should be up in about 1 or 2 weeks, maybe 3 weeks tops. But, those are just my guesses. But, she's fine for now," he said.

I then thanked him and walked into the room, finally getting a clearer sight of her under the lights.

Her body's wrapped in bandage and skinnier. Her hair is, as described, shoulder-length. Her chest is slightly moving up and down because of her breathing. And she looked so peaceful. I then sat on the empty seat next to the bed and sighed, looking at her.

Should I let her go? Should I not? I know that she would probably want to reunite with her brother. And I could just let her go. And this is a terribly perfect timing, since I'm basically done with her since the first time he got into the hospital.

But, why does it feel so hard?

Do I actually love her? But, why would I?

I then said without taking my eyes off of her, "Changkyun-ah."

"Mm?" He hummed as a response.

"What would you do if you were me?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" he asked back.

"If you're a gang leader with business rivals, kidnapped a girl to blackmail her older brother, and you drowned her and you saved her. And then she got re-kidnapped and raped. And one day the kidnapper called you to meet up, and she got stabbed to save you and got buried alive. Then you saved her, she's in a coma, but you don't know what to do next because you can't tell if you love her or not. What would you do, Kyun?"

"Well, you should figure it out first," he said.

I stared at him, demanding an explanation.

"You  figure it out. Your feelings. Do you love her or not? Once you get your clear answer, then you can figure out what's best," he said.

He then gasped, "Omo, my hyung is in love with Y/N!!!" He laughed while pointing at me.

"Shut up," I said to him. But, he didn't, he laughed louder.

"So what if I am?" I asked.

"There you go! Your welcome!" he cheered.

"Wait-"

"I said that you're in-love with her and you denied it. But then you asked "So what if I am?" So you basically just declared your feelings for her," he explained.

I then looked away and said, "I hate you."

"Aww, no. You love me," he said.

"Yeah, yeah..." I said.

Maybe I should call Hwasa.
