YOU

CHAPTER 48

A loud screeching metal noise dragged in the cement along the highway before splattering and shuttering noises of glasses as it bumps right through a truck ahead of them. As soon as Eunkwang regained his consciousness, shards of glasses were all he could see. All of a sudden, he closes his eyes in fear as if it was involuntary and opens it again. Right after that moment, he felt a warm liquid pouring down from his forehead. The trepidation, as he realizes that it was blood, indeed. He knew that moment that they were in a car accident. He can see Joy's unconscious and exanimated body beside him, still secured with her seatbelt. Then he heard his father groaned in pain as his father tries to unbuckle his seatbelt, soon after, he cries out for his wife's name but, there was no answer she's half thrown right through the hood of the car and blood was everywhere. Mr. Park turns his head to check his kids. All he could do was panic and then turns to scan his wife broken body, who seemed to be respiring deeply, like it was for the last fight for her life.

"dad..." eunkwang suddenly cried, witnessing his mother's last breath.

"dad..." he cries again, but that was all he could do. He couldn't do anything as he feels his foot stuck under the bend metals of the seat impeded him close by the driver's seat. Suddenly out of nowhere, an ambulance arrives at the scene. The medics immediately took him first, then Joy, who was still unconscious. He cries for his father again, who now had seemingly lost his mind continuously begs for the medics to save his dear wife. All that time, he never left his eyes at the heartwrenching scene before they took him to the ambulance.

The medics pumping his mother's chest.

As they were rush to the hospital first, Eunkwang couldn't stop crying. He never wanted to leave them there, but the medic told him his parents are right behind them. They were in a different ambulance where the medics were still trying to revive their mother.

As soon as they arrived at the hospital, it was all in a hurl everybody panic as they knew who it was it was the Park family, known for being one of the richest in the country. Not many had known how their kids look like since Mr. Park never wanted to publicize his kids. He was a man of dignity, and his private life was all he cared to protect them his kids.

Eunkwang heard his father kept begging the doctors to revive his wife. As everybody was on it, a nurse was trying to comfort him, hugging him as he continuously cried. After a few hours of tormented wailing and cries from their father, It was when he realized that their mother had not survived the accident.

"son, this was not an accident. Forgive me, but I need to disappear before they come. Son, Do not talk to anyone. Someone will come and take you. I promise I will find you." his father hugged him as if it was for the last time. After he disappeared, nothing followed. Eunkwang cried and cried until their uncle arrives.

"Son, I'm sorry.." he cried, hugging his nephew tighter.

A month after, Joy finally opened her eyes.

"she's awake! She's awake!" he screams, calling out the attention of everyone in the orphanage. It has been a month of despair and waiting for Joy to wake up. And she woke up in an unfamiliar environment, she felt confused and did not understand what was happening? She groans as if her head is hurting.

"eomma??" she croaks with a horse voice making eunkwang stop rejoicing, he frowns the feeling of excitement is suddenly going away, he lowers his gaze to the ground shaking his head Joy, couldn't understand why. She had the feeling it was not good right there eunkwang realizes he needed to tell Joy the sad news. It was heartbreak all over again.
