A/N : triple update, don't leave out THIRTY-SEVEN! 😊

The lights at the living room were on and she knew someone was at home.

"I'm home!" Yelled Nahee after shutting the door behind her. She took off her footwear and swayed her legs into the living room.

"Hm, welcome home," answered Namjoon who was sitting with a pack of Cheetos in his arm.

She didn't expect Namjoon to present at the house. What's more without his wife. She put down her bag on the sofa and book on the table before sitting down on a single sofa diagonal to her brother.

"What are you doing here?"

"Eerin is at the hospital."

"Are you serious?"

Namjoon nodded his head.

"Then, why aren't you at the hospital with her?"

"What do you expect? I was panicking when she screamed and... I kind of broke the heartbeat tracker screen. I got kicked out of the ward then," Namjoon told.

Nahee stayed quiet, only the crunching noise of the snack being the sound that stopped silence from going around the area. She was only staring nonchalantly at Namjoon, wanting to scold him for not staying at the hospital but it's too late to do that, she thought. How she wished she could have been his older sister so that she could smack his head on behalf of their mother.

She got up to fetch a few pieces of the snack but only to get a slap on the hand by her brother. Both of them glared at each other as Nahee gave up on getting some.

Despite the glaring earlier, Nahee spoke. "Oppa, you gotta go back to the hospital. Eonni needs you, you know."

"They gonna kick me out again," Namjoon said.

"Then do you want me to go instead?"

Namjoon kept quiet for awhile. A piece of Cheetos stuck in his mouth formed a bulge on one of his cheeks, his eyes were staring at Nahee. "We go together. Have some Cheetos while I get something from my room."

With that Nahee happily got the Cheetos bag from Namjoon and shoved a piece in her mouth.

**********

Once they arrived at the hospital, Nahee told Namjoon to wait outside the ward while she went in to check on Eerin. Her sister-in-law was sleeping when she went in and she saw that a broken heartbeat tracker was beside another heartbeat tracker, tracking Eerin's heartbeat.

Nahee left the ward, witnessing Namjoon going back and forth the hallway.

"Kim Namjoon," she called.

Namjoon stopped pacing, immediately went to his sister. "How's she?"

"She's sleeping," Nahee told.

Namjoon was only able to nod his head. He wished he could go back in and see his wife.

The sister and brother then went to sit on a bench situated in front of the ward. With a sigh, Namjoon pushed himself on the seat as Nahee sat down beside him with legs crossed and her sling bag on her lap.

When Nahee rested her head on the cold, white wall, she saw her brother leaning forward with his elbows on his thighs and palms rubbing over his face.
