twenty three.

"i'll be back!" emma calls to her parents.

she gets in her car and drives to go to lars and aisha's hotel. she's going to pick them up so they can go see stray kids at the hospital. visiting hour started soon so they'd get an hour to spend with them before they have to go home.

hopefully they'd get discharged today too. they should, they only had little problems so they have to. she didn't have a problem if they had to stay an extra night, it's better they get the help before going home, but it'd also suck because only some or all wouldn't be able to go home.

she drives up to the hotel and her friends are waiting outside. then they started driving to the hospital, which actually wasn't that far.

"has seungmin told you anything?" lars asked a little into the drive.

"he only said they had minor injuries. did felix talk at all?" emma asks in response.

"no, he must've fallen asleep. what about you, aisha? did you and minho communicate?" lars looked at aisha.

"sort of, we were just beginning our conversation and i think he fell asleep. but he said he was okay." aisha reassured.

they arrived at the hospital and all of them ran to the desk. they were all desperate to see their friends.

"do you know what room kim seungmin is in?" emma asked the desk clerk. she was unsure if she would let them through because they're stray kids.

"yes, what's your relation to him?" the desk clerk raised an eyebrow, clacking away at her keyboard.

"i'm his... uh... girlfriend!" emma made up a lie quickly. lars and aisha smirked at each other, earning a glare from emma.

"308, the elevator is down there." she monotonously said, pointing to the right.

"thank you!" emma said and they all sprinted to the elevator.

the elevator takes its precious time and finally reaches the floor seungmin is on. the group of three run a marathon to seungmin's room. the door whams open, with emma running inside first to hug seungmin.

she hugs seungmin who's lying on his bed tightly. he was still in his clothes from days prior, but that's better than an uncomfortable hospital gown in a way.

"i'm so glad you're okay." emma says in the midst of their hug.

"me too." seungmin says into her hair.

"when are you getting out of the hospital?" emma asks as they break their hug.

"after visiting hour." seungmin said.

lars points to the door with his thumb, "if you will excuse me, i need to go see my dear friend felix," then he runs off.

"you know! minho is probably dying without company. you two should have your couple time anyway!" aisha says, also leaving.

emma and seungmin laugh, silence now overtaking the room.

"did the guys hurt you while you were there?" emma asks.

"just slight punches to the arm whenever we'd try to speak."

emma's appalled, "i'm so sorry they did that to you. i can't believe i'm related to her!" she exclaimed.

"don't apologize, you aren't her. in fact, you are much better than her." seungmin said as a matter of fact.

"it was silly of her to do that, all because my talentless cousin didn't get into your company." emma snickered.

emma can't even believe she's related to such a monster. how was her grandma able to mask her hidden persona for so long? the fact she could keep that secret for 50-60 something years is absurd. in fact, two monsters, one who spent her entire teen hood as a criminal. how she was able to maintain two personas for so long is beyond emma.
