"Sir, is Kim Taehyung here?" Minjiu said, frantically walking back and forth.
"Hold on, I'll look it up." The man at the front desk clicked a few buttons on his computer. "Yes, Kim Taehyung. In for a car accident. He's not accepting visitors right now." Minjiu cracked her knuckles.
"Please, please let us in. You don't understand!" Minjiu said, falling to her knees.
"Yes sir, is he going to be okay? What happened to him?"
"As the law says, we cannot allow people inside the room if the patient does not want people in there. All I can is that he got into a car accident. I'd get fired if I said anything else. I'm truly sorry." Minjiu got up from the floor and wiped her face. A tear rolled down Jennie's face, which led to her full on crying. They defeatedly took a seat in the waiting room.
"Minjiu, I'm so sorry," Jennie sobbed, wrapping her arms around Minjiu. Minjiu cracked a small smile as she also wrapped her arms around Jennie. Suddenly, Minjiu's phone rang. She looked to see who it was, and surprisingly, it was her mom.
"Hello? " Minjiu croaked.
"Where are you guys at? I'm coming home right now. Is Taehyung okay?"
"We're at the Asan Medical Center. I... I don't know if he's going to be okay," Minjiu replied, bursting out into tears.
"Okay, we're almost there. Is he letting visitors in?"
"No," Minjiu sobbed. Her mom hung up the phone.
"Was it your mom?" Jennie said, wiping her face with the back of her hand.
"Yeah. She'll be here soon. I would think his mom would be coming too." Jennie sighed.
"He's going to be okay. I just know it."

About 30 minutes went by before Minjiu and Taehyungs mom finally came. They frantically signed in and took a seat.
"Minjiu, what happened?" Taehyungs mom asked.
"I... I don't know. Me, Jennie, and Taehyung were at my house. He woke me up at 1am to talk about something downstairs. I don't think he ever came back upstairs. When we woke up, he was gone." She nervously sighed.
"Well me and your mom heard it on the news. We heard it and immediately had to get over here," Taehyungs mom said, nervously shaking. Minjiu's mom patted her on the back.

A couple more hours went by. It was already starting to reach nightfall.
"Oh my god, when are they gonna let me come see my child?" Taehyungs mom said, beginning to walk back and forth. Jennie sat with no emotion in her face. She stared at the floor. Minjiu was at the front desk on her knees begging to see Taehyung. This continued until midnight.

After a total of 12 hours, a doctor finally walked over to where Minjiu and everyone else was sitting.
"Are you Ms. Kim?" She asked.
"Yes, yes ma'am. Is Taehyung okay? Any broken bones? Can he still talk?"
"He is doing perfectly fine right now. We did an x-ray, and he did have a broken arm. He also has a lot of scratches all over his body. We have medicine slash ointment for that. Overall, for someone who got into a car crash that bad, he is in amazing condition. Right now, visitors are able to come in, but he is slipping in and out of consciousness, which is normal right now. Once again, he is allowing visitors. He's in room B13. " Taehyungs mom thanked the doctor before quickly getting up and running down the hallway, along with Jennie, Minjiu, and Minjiu's mom. Minjiu quickly pushed herself through everyone so she'd be the first in the room. Before she could do anything, Taehyungs mom quickly ran up and kissed Taehyung on the head.
"Honey, are you okay? What happened? Are you feeling alright?"
"I'm feeling fine, mom. Is Minjiu in here?" He asked. The room was pitch black because of how late it was. Taehyungs mom stepped aside as Minjiu quickly ran up to Taehyung. She grabbed his face and pulled to hers, giving him a kiss. Minjiu slowly motioned her head downwards so Taehyung could comfortably lay flat. He picked one arm up and held Minjiu's face. Taehyungs mom gasped as the rest of the room went silent.
"I'm so sorry Taehyung. Are you okay? I'm so, so sorry. Please tell me that your going to be okay," Minjiu said as she pulled away from Taehyung.
"I'm not focused on myself right now. Are you okay? I could hear you screaming and crying from out in the waiting room. I would've let you in hours ago, but I was too tired to talk." Minjiu pulled at her hair before pulling Taehyung back into another kiss.
"Careful, there's not room for two on this bed," Taehyung whispered. Minjiu stepped back away from Taehyung.
"Taehyung... Is there something going on between you two?" His mom asked, slowly looking back and forth from Taehyung to Minjiu. Minjiu sat down on a nearby chair.
Taehyung stayed silent as he locked eyes with Minjiu. Suddenly, he lost consciousness. His mom sighed.
"Well... That was new... He never told me he liked Minjiu that much..." His mom murmured.
"I guess we'll come back tomorrow," Minjiu's mom said. Jennie and Minjiu's mom left the room.
"Honey, are you coming?" Taehyungs mom asked, looking behind at Minjiu before leaving the room.
"I just... I promise I'll be out in a few minutes. Can you tell my mom I'll be out soon?"
"Of course," She responded, walking out of the room. Minjiu sighed as she watched Taehyung.
"Are they gone?" Minjiu quickly looked back at Taehyung. He looked at her.
"Yeah... They're all out of the room," Minjiu said, slowly walking up to Taehyung.
"I didn't really lose consciousness. I just closed my eyes and stopped breathing for a few seconds. I'm glad it worked. And I'm even more glad that you stayed." Minjiu smiled.
"I'm even more glad that your okay. Sorry that I kissed you in front of our parents."
"Sorry? The second you kissed me, I forgot anyone else was in here."
"Haha, yeah...Taehyung... Can I tell you something?"
"Go ahead."
"I love you," Minjiu said, grabbing Taehyungs hand and rubbing it with her thumb. Taehyung looked into Minjiu's eyes.
"I love you too. God, you don't understand how much I love you." A single tear came out from Minjiu's eye.
"If I just stayed awake a little earlier when you woke me up... This wouldn't of happen." Taehyung lifted his hand up and wiped the tears falling from Minjiu's eyes.
"It's not your fault. Stop blaming yourself on things like this. It hurts to hear you always bring yourself down." Minjiu looked Taehyung in the eyes.
"Although I can't see what you look like right now, I bet you look beautiful," Taehyung said, rubbing his thumb against Minjiu face.
"Want me to turn on the lights?"
"The doctors say to keep them off so my eyes can readjust overnight. Kind of confusing, but I don't question it." Minjiu turned on her phone to check the time. It had already been twenty minutes since everyone else left.
"I should go now. Our parents may think we're doing more than just kissing." Taehyung laughed before letting go of Minjiu's hand.
"Goodnight, Minjiu. If you sleep well tonight, then I will too." Minjiu kissed Taehyung on the cheek one last time before walking out into the bright hospital. She walked out to the waiting room, where she saw Jennie waiting for her.
"Minjiu! I waited for you for a while. I was about to leave because I thought you were gonna sleep in there with him or something." Minjiu playfully punched Jennie on the shoulder.
"You're weird, you idiot. We should probably leave now. I would guess my mom left us, so we probably should just walk home."
"May as well. Come on, I don't want to miss out on sleep! I should also tell my mom why I'm out so late..."
