Chapter 54: Healing Hearts [Edited]

Start from the beginning
                                    

Sang-Ook didn't yet have any arrest warrant on his name but the office still desired to keep him locked up till the trial and that they'd only let him go if he was proved not guilty in front of the court. And considering the entire offensive situation, the higher authorities agreed to this so here I was, relishing the mere thought of Sang-Ook rotting in jail.

With a small "okay" the officer cut the call and turning the screen off of my phone I dropped it back in my pocket before facing the doctor again.

"Sang-Ook's discharge will be taken care of doctor, but what about Y/N, how is she doing?" I could hear the worry once again tainting my voice and a look of concern also crossed Daejung's face which only made me even more weary.

"I am afraid the swelling in her lung is increasing" Daejung heaved a deep sigh and at the same time, I heard my heart crack. Anxiousness engulfed me whole and I looked up at the doctor, gravely waiting for him to come up with a 'but'. I wanted a but that'd be followed by something like she'll be fine and luckily this time, I got what I wanted, well something close.

"But don't yet lose hope Jungkook. We are trying our best to bring her out of danger and to some extent, her body has also started responding to our treatments so that's a good thing"

"Oh, okay, thanks doctor"

"No problem, it's my duty, and yeah, call me Daejung"

He handed me the papers for Sang-Ook's release and clutching those tightly in my hands, I bowed to the doctor before standing up and making my way to the door. However, just as I was about to turn the knob to unlock the door, Daejung spoke again, rendering me halted in my steps.

"The visiting hours are on. You can visit Miss Y/N if you want to"

I heaved a defeated sigh before turning my head half way to the side to face him and nodding slightly to his assertion, I walked out of the room and straight to the elevator. I pressed for the fourth floor where my Y/N so peacefully rested.

The automated doors slid open and I almost ran through the empty corridor, wanting to reach Y/N's ICU as fast as possible. However, on opening the door to the room, I had to pause my movements for four more men were already present there out of which, three sat on stools surrounding Y/N's bed while the fourth stood beside her, holding her hand firmly in his.

"Jungkook?" Jimin was the first to snap his gaze towards me and right after he said my name, the other three pairs of eyes landed square on me. My gaze though stayed rooted on just one of them, specifically the one that was standing by the bed, Seokjin.

I gulped down the lump that had formed in my throat when Jin's eyes met mine and the memories of him being mad at me echoed through my mind. The last time I saw him, he asked me to leave his sister alone and as soon as the thought of the dismal incident crossed my mind, I found myself taking a step back. I was so desperate to see Y/N, to touch her, to hold her but at the same time, I didn't wanna disappoint her family anymore. No matter what they thought about me, I still considered them my friends, my mates and I didn't want them to loathe me even more than what they already did.

So I sucked it up and was about to turn around to leave but I was caught totally off guard when I heard loud footsteps quickly approaching me and even before I could turn around to see what was going on, a pair of slender arms draped around my shoulders, pulling me into a firm hug.

"I am sorry Jungkook, please forgive me" it was Jin.

The extent to which my eyes widened was painful and the shocked gasp that pushed passed my throat was vividly audible throughout the whole room. However, it was barely as loud as the distressed sobs that were being shed by Jin. In spite of being muffled by my now wet shirt, Jin's wails rang loud and clear and I couldn't help but shed some tears of my own.
