ELUSIVE

THE ATTACK

Yerin and Eunha walk side by side, entering the room claimed to be the special room for Mr.Goo, accompanied by the two nurses they met at the cafeteria. Taehyung was upset at first because he didn't have the time to fill his stomach yet but Yerin convinced him to wait for a while and will treat him dinner, which makes Taehyung jokingly said he's very happy. He didn't want to let Yerin treat him, he simply want to eat with her. And Eunha as well.

But instead of waiting for them, Taehyung chose to go with them. Just in case Mr.Goo suddenly act up, or to be exact throwing a tantrum knowing that Mrs.Chaewon is no longer able to look after him. Mr.Goo is placed in a special room where he's alone for a reason. Mr.Goo shouldn't and couldn't be exposed to extreme loud noise and the sound of people constant talking and screaming. It is said that it reminds him of his past life where he involved in serving the country in a war but ended up losing his wife and his three children. There is one day where he hurt his ears, causing him to lose hearing ability, claiming that he heard the loud noises from the war he involved and the voices of his family. Since he frequently throwing tantrums and hard to control, he is placed in a special room, and only certain caregiver and doctor could approach him.

"Let me tell Mr.Goo who you're and that you're visiting him." The female nurse informed Yerin and went to Mr.Goo who was lying on the bed while looking out of the window. Yerin watched the female nurse making the hand gestures or to be specific doing the sign languages.

"Come." The female nurse ask Yerin to go nearer Mr.Goo. Looks like Mr.Goo is willing to meet her. Yerin looked at Eunha and Taehyung first, asking for their opinion.

"How should i tell Mr.Goo." Yerin whispered.

"Well, tell him the truth?" Taehyung answered, short-mindedly.

"I know, i mean... how? What's the best sentences to tell him without making him upset?" Yerin asked again, sound slightly loud than her first time asking.

"Yerin-unnie, you're the best convincer i ever know. You will do well. Maybe expressed how you feel and cope with the lost of your mother?" Eunha suggested. Hearing that, Yerin nodded few times, drafting what she needs to say in her mind.

"I will translate exactly what you said to him. No worries." The female nurse guaranteed. Yerin smiled and sat beside Mr.Goo. Like a miracle, Mr.Goo smile and start making the hand gestures of sign language.

"He said you have Mrs.Chaewon's eyes." the female nurse translated.

"Thank you Mr.Goo. I'm her daughter." Yerin said and the female nurse translated it into sign language for Mr.Goo. "I'm here to tell you something."

"What is it?" Mr.Goo asked, translated by the female nurse.

"My mother is praying for you from the heaven. She pray that you will be healthy and continue your life happily." Yerin stopped for a while before she continue. "She wouldn't be able to meet you anymore. The God had called her to return to Him for good."

It was a dead silence moment after that as Mr.Goo didn't gave any responses. Instead he looked back out of the window. Yerin and the others patiently waiting for Mr.Goo but to no reply. The female nurse was about to make Yerin leave since she worried Mr.Goo might didn't want any visitors anymore. But suddenly Mr.Goo gave an answer, with tears flooding at the corner of his eyes.

"Good for her. She's too nice to be in this cruel world. Tell her to tell my family there, that i'm very sorry." Mr.Goo said, making round gesture using her fist around his chest, saying sorry. Hearing what the nurse has translated for her, Yerin felt relieved and gave a nod for Mr.Goo as the answer for his question. With that, Yerin excuse herself to leave but Mr.Goo suddenly blinks his eyes numerous times. Yerin noticed it and asked the female nurse what's wrong.
