Into The Chaos

Jin-Ae got up and hastily adjusted her dress. The butterflies in her stomach made her gulp in nervousness as her hands started sweating. She fidgeted as slowly and gradually, the shadow came into light.

Her heart pounded like crazy but as soon as Jin-Ae recognized the figure, she sighed in relief.

She saw a glass figure, her resemblance, her sister Choi Rosêy.

"Did I do something wrong?"

this was all Jin-Ae could overthink about.

Jin-Ae began looking around anxiously when...

She came closer to Jin-Ae and brought her fingers in contact with her skin, which made Jin-Ae flinch a bit. "Seems like you enjoyed the session huh?"

Choi Rosêy caressed the dark purple hickeys on Jin-Ae's neck with her eyes dripping rage.

The vexation in her voice made Jin-Ae sad and afraid.

Choi Rosêy's hand went down to Jin-Ae's hand and without any warning, she turned her hand in the opposite direction.

Jin-Ae uttered a yelp in pain and froze as the trauma flash-backed quickly. A part of her past, the trauma she would never choose to go back to not even if she had to choose to die at that moment.

Choi Rosê came a little more closer to her but now to her right. She chuckled in her ear and looked at her with sympathetic eyes.

Jin-Ae didn't answer her and mumbled "Now that I fulfilled your favour, please send me the money. We need to save our dad", Jin-Ae's eyes turned glossy.

She saw no worries on Choi Rosêy's face when she mentioned dad.

"We? don't act as you care so much huh! Ask mom for money, and NOW get lost. I don't want to see your ugly shadow near us anymore", she whispered with an evil smirk and pushed Jin-Ae towards the corridor.

Jin-Ae took a very last glance at his features. Unfortunately, it was still dark so she didn't get a chance to take a good look whilst Choi Rosêy settled herself beside him.

Jin-Ae left.

Coincidentally, when she got out of the hotel, she saw a taxi, as if it was waiting for her. Jin-Ae didn't notice anything as she was stressed out.

She texted her mom for money and asked the taxi driver to rush to the hospital.

The old woman made lame excuses as she begged her to transfer them now.

She didn't want to risk anything, Jin-Ae's 6th sense was telling her that something ain't right. She kept feeling that something was off, very wrong which she can't notice or catch on to. After a while, her mom replied, seizing her back into reality.

She texted: The money will be deposited in your account in a minute or two.

Jin-Ae took a delighted breath and gazed at the night sky looking for something that might stop the storm and the burning inside her.

It was a dark, gloomy night whispering a lullaby.

A lullaby of how it's gonna be alright, that one-night absurdity can make her father live long and she can spend the coming years beside her dad laughing and having chicken with soju at weekends.

A gush of cold air hit her when she felt excitement building inside her stomach with all these thoughts.

The city was so busy at its stride meanwhile, she was exhausted but still kept up with her positive thoughts when suddenly her phone vibrated.

As she reached for her phone, in a second everything went blank.

She could feel sudden, an intense spike of pain as if something sharp crashed inside her hands and legs, but her soul was in more misery, an uncomfortable sensation with the scar of worry, the wound of what'll happen to her dad.

After a few seconds, she heard people chatting whilst someone yelled to call an ambulance that is when she completely went unconscious.

After 2 days,

She slowly opened her eyes, and everything slowly gyrated from black to blur to a clear picture.

She smelt a mixture of blood, tears and vomit as she felt like crying and shortly realized that she was in the hospital. The hospital always gives off a sense of life and death, a scary feeling.

Where am I here? How is my dad? Is he okay? Nothing but these questions scrambled into her mind.

Before she could get up and go to inspect it further, a nurse and a good-looking guy rushed in and told her to lay down as they called Dr Jungkook to check her.

She was fully aware but sensitive, Jin-Ae suddenly felt a horrible ache all over her body.

Soreness, pain, itching and the tired intellect, she wanted to run home where her dad would greet her with a warm hug. Her heart cried a little with small, tiny tears on the outside.

The doctor checked her nerves calming her down that it's alright, she's gonna be okay and started confirming that everything's alright or not meanwhile, she took a quick peek at him rinsing her tears off her face, she didn't know who he was, she tried to acknowledge him but couldn't.

Jin-Ae tried to recall everything.

She knew that she remembered everything, the phone call, her mom's message, the accident but it wasn't making any sense.

After the doctor checked her, he asked Jin-Ae a few questions to which Jin-Ae anxiously responded.

Soon it was over. Dr Seon-Ho informed her that her condition is better but she needs to stay at the hospital for a few days so they can ensure everything and then, she can depart.

In a twinkling of an eye, the doctor and nurses evacuated, leaving the two alone.

Before leaving, Seon-Ho patted Jin-Ae's heas assuring her that he's here and that she'll be alright.

Jin-Ae looked around nervously and got up a little to avert the awkwardness, the guy noted and immediately hurtled to her to make her pillow comfortable enough to sit.

He was so intriguing, dressed as in a blue button shirt with some random design, a few of the buttons from the top were unbuttoned. Tight jeans that fitted his thick sublime thighs perfectly. He was feverish.

Jin-Ae's eyes spied to his face, his hair a little messy yet still somehow managed to daze her into his appealing beauty.

Her breath hitched on how his hairs falling on his eyes made him look so glamorous. She shook her head face-palming herself mentally for checking out a stranger like that.

Before she could filter anything, he sat on the bed where her legs were.

In such a fight or flight situation,

"I don't know you. Do you know me? Have we met somewhere before?", Jin-Ae asked, within a single breathe.

"Ahan no! We never met before. So, um- don't think about this much right now it's bad for you. We can talk about this later.." A long silence took place.

She peered straight into his eyes trying to figure out why he is stuttering and skipping words.

Jin-Ae looked at him with a sceptical look and deliberately opened her mouth to say, "Ah-"

He interrupted her, "Umm-ah you should rest for now okay?"

She shook her head in no, he seemed kinda dubious but nothing was troubling her more than the thought of her father.

Why Dr Seon-Ho didn't mention him and left. Everything was so uncertain and dramatic. She was getting restless.

She tried to catch on to things as everything was so messed up, she recalled that she received a phone call, as concern started to build in, she began to search for her phone.

He kept looking at her nervously, gasping his breath every second in fear.

He finally asked, "What are you looking for?" "My phone, where it is??" His face turned pale as if he was found guilty of something he did.

"Um- I think it crashed in the accident. Ahh- I will gift you a new phone and you have to take it", he said with a flirty smirk on his face.

Jin-Ae was weirded out with his behaviour, she found it a little perverted as he was still a stranger to her.

She was about to respond when he continued mumbling to himself "as if her phone was very expensive" with an annoying smile.

She heard that but didn't pay any attention to it because at the moment, her dad was her priority, not this stranger that is kinda suspicious right now.

Jin-Ae called Dr Seon-Ho screaming her lungs out.

He ran to her right after she called him fixing his coat while he showed his usual bunny smile to her but this time with a hint of sadness. "What is it, Ms Jin-Ae? Are you okay?", he inquired with a worried look on his face whilst he glanced at the stranger in confusion.

"I'm alright. Where is my dad? Is he okay? Can we have the surgery now? I have one million. Is he going to be okay? Can I see him" , she threw all these questions at him without any pause.

The charming stranger stood there with no expressions on his face whereas, at the same time, Do Hyun's eyes widen and he started to become uneasy too.

"I called you, you didn't pick it up so I left a voice message, didn't you receive it?"

Everything paused, Jin-Ae stared at Seon-Ho. Seon-Ho's eyes wanted to tell something, something she couldn't comprehend by gaping into them

"It's something, I mean-ah it would be better if you see it by yourself." He stammered, looking at the stranger guy from the corner of his eye.

She felt dazed. What was he talking about? Why can't he tell her right now? Jin-Ae's world turned into chaos in a blink of an eye.

"Oh! It crashed in the accident. Can you please tell me here? How is he? Can I see him?" Jin-Ae asked getting up from the bed

"Um- Jin-Ae, your dad...
