Always and Forever

20. Accident and Realizations

SUZY'S POV

9 missed calls from Joo Hyuk.

Now, I feel bad for not answering his calls and for not replying to his texts. He must be really worried.

I'm sorry. I just need time to think and breathe.

I'm scared that he might also leave me one day.

I'm not sure if I can take the risk.

Of course, I love him. This is why I am more scared.

The more I love him, the more painful it will be if he leaves me.

"Why are you thinking that he will leave you? Trust him, okay? I already told you before and I am telling you this once more... Our story is not yours. Your Dad and Joo Hyuk are two different people. You and I are also different. We have our own stories to make. Trust him."

My Mom is right. I should trust him. He loves me and I love him and we will work this out till the end.

I should call him now and apologize.

Ooops, no need. He's already calling me.

"Baby... I'm" I was cut off when I heard a different voice from the other line.

"Sorry, do you know the owner of this phone? You're the last person in his call history that's why I called you. I am a nurse here in Yulje Medical Center, he's currently in the emergency room. He's ---"

"I'm coming, I'm coming. Bye."

I run out of my room with my pajamas. My Mom asked me what's the matter but I wasn't able to tell her. I just ran outside and called a taxi.

I have to go to the hospital. Joo Hyuk is in the emergency room.

Dear God, if you're real please save him.

I arrived in the hospital and went straight to the emergency room but I didn't see him there.

My heart started to beat so fast.

I run to the information desk to know where he is right now.

"Excuse me, Miss. A nurse called me a while ago and told me that my boyfriend is in the emergency room but I didn't find him there. Do you know where he is right now?" I asked almost crying.

"Ma'am, let me call someone from the ER."

What happened to Joo Hyuk?

"Ma'am?"

"Ah yes?"

"The nurse who called you will come here to talk to you. Just wait for a while."

I nodded.

True to her words, a nurse came and I saw Joo Hyuk's phone on her hand.

"I am the one who called you. I --"

"Is he alright? Where is he right now? Please tell me!" I asked her qith tears rolling down my face.

"Ma'am please calm down. He's fine. He got into an accident with a few injuries and the doctor is taking care of his injuries right now. He dropped his phone that's why I have it. I called you to at least let someone know that he's here, but I assure you that nothing is serious."

When I heard that, I cried even more. I'm glad he's fine. I can finally breathe.

I noticed that the nurse got nervous so I pulled myself together.

"Ma'am, you don't have to worry. He's really fine. Ma'am please don't cry."

"No, I'm just relieved that he's fine. Thank you. Where can I wait for him?"
