Let me be the one ⇨ 양 정원

033: Ouch

I arrived at the hospital, I saw the girls on their way inside so we all went to Daniel's room together.

We went inside and my heart broke when I saw him. Earlier he was just connected to a dextrose but now... he's connected to a pipe or whatever you call it, a monitor beside him.

Jennie unnie and my parents went towards me and hugged me. I cried quietly while hugging them. They called the girls to join the hug and they did.

They also cried along with me. They love Daniel like he's their real brother. We cried for a few minutes and stopped.

What did the doctor say about Daniel? Why did he suddenly fell into a coma? I asked

They thought his head injury was just a normal injury that they can heal but I guess they were wrong. His head probably hit something and the impact fractured his skull. Jennie said

His skull is fractured? Savannah asked

Yeah. They can still heal his skull but they're still not sure when he'll wake up. Jennie said

It could take days, weeks, months or many even years. Dad said

Let's not think negatively, Daniel will wake up. Even if it takes months or years of waiting, let's be patient. Mom said

We all nodded.

We all stayed in the hospital, we didn't want to keep a negative mind so we set that aside and we all talked.

Where's Jungwon? Jennie asked

He was already sleeping when I came here. I said

I think it's better if this doesn't spread too much. Mom said

Yeah, I think that's better too. I also would like to not tell Jungwon about this. I said

What are you going to say to him then if he wants to check up on Daniel? Amara asked

Let's just say he went back to America after he got discharged. I said

Why do you not want to tell him about this? Yena asked

I don't want to add more to his problems, he has his own problems and I have mine. I said

Okay, no one tells anyone not until we tell you guys to tell people. Mom said

We all nodded.

Board games? Savannah asked and she brought out board games.

Where did you even get that? Jennie asked

I brought it with me because I figured you guys would be in a bad mood so why not bring positivity and hang out. Savannah said

Okay, sure. Let's play. Dad said

We played monopoly cards for a while.

I'm tired, you guys should go home. I'll look after Daniel. I said

No, you girls can go home. You have a class tomorrow, we'll look after Daniel. Mom said

Okay, auntie. The girls said

Also you, Chelsea. Dad said

What? Why? I asked

You have school tomorrow, just come and visit here tomorrow. Mom said
