7: The Truth

Jimin frowned when he remembered what did Jaerim told him.

Does he like Haemi?

Ayeeee no way...

What if, he is?

He shook his head violently and groaned

"Stop thinking about that you fool you have Miyoung" He muttered and stared at the girl who is lying lifelessly on the bed

"And you. Stop confusing me" He mumbled and fished out his phone out of boredom. He was entering the password but stopped halfway when he saw Haemi stirred in her sleep

He stood up and puts his phone back in his pocket. Eyes widening when he saw the girl woke up. The girl was staring at him for a while and start scanning her surroundings. Jimin didnt dare to utter a word. He is afraid that something bad will happen if he accidentally said something wrong

Haemi sat down with her legs crossed and looks at her iv on her hand. She sighed and closed his eyes when she suddenly felt dizzy from suddenly sitting down on the bed. She opened them and looks at Jimin. Suddenly start sobbing

"I want to go home" She sobbed. Jimin just sat down on the bed in front of her

"Its okay.. I am here" He shushed and was about to hug the girl but she stopped him

"Dont.." She puts out both hands in a defensive way "Dont come close. Just stay there" She continued and wiped her tears but Jimin just hugged her anyway

"I'm your husband.. remember that?" He said and pats her head when he felt his shoulder wet from the girl's tears

"Hey.. stop crying.. hm? I'm here. Everything is fine" Jimin said but Haemi shooks her head

"No. Nothing is fine" She muffled in Jimins shoulder. She broke the hug and looks at him with wet eyes

"Yah! What are you doing?!" He shouted when he saw Haemi pulled the iv from her hand harshly. Blood start trickling on the back of her palm. He huffed and grabbed her hand when he saw the girl was about to run away

"Where are you going?" He asked and she held her tears

"Away from this place" She tried to pull her hand but it was no use

"Why?"

"It held too many bad memories. I.. cant" She breaks down and Jimin panicked.

He never ever saw this girl cry. Usually his previous girlfriends will stop crying if he hugs them but Haemi was different. Her wound was so deep it couldn't be healed with just a hug. She needs love and care that she was searching since that incident

"Do you mind telling me what happened?" He asked and she went quiet. There was a long silence but he never let go of her hand. he was pressing gently on the spot where blood came out because of the iv

"Its okay if you dont wan-"

"My dad passed away from an accident." She cuts him off and he just pressed his lips into a thin line. Ready to hear what is happening

"The one you saw hitting me was my step father" She looks down

"Hyebin was 2 years old when our dad passed away. My step father forced my mama to marry him or he will abuse me. My mama couldn't say anything. We were the only thing that matters to her and she never want us to experience physical pain"

"After 2 years of marriage, my mom decided to divorce him because she was abused everyday. He somehow made himself innocent at the court and made mama the bad one. So he ended up getting Hyebin's custody. I was old enough to choose who I wanted to be with but Hyebin was just 4. She doesn't know anything"

"What did you expect? Of course I wont leave the little girl alone. She will die." She looks up to Jimin with guilt

"Mama searched ways on how to get me out of that old man's grip. And after 2 years, she decided to make me.." She glanced at Jimin and he was smiling sweetly "she decided to make me marry you. She said that my dad will be afraid if he knew about your family and he wont dare to lay a finger on Hyebin and I but.."

"I think it became worse. I saw him start making his move on Hyebin. He almost hit her when she accidentally woke him up last week. I.. I couldn't dare to see her get hit. I survived every single day from that old man's abuse just to let Hyebin safe even though I was hurting. It hurts me more when she is hurt"

"And that's why I was so angry when your girlfriend slapped her last time" She muttered an apology and Jimin just played with her hand

"Why I didnt came back home? It was because of that old man. Threatening to move on his hits on Hyebin if i didnt stay for at least a week" She muttered

"Your real dad.. was the reason you hate the hospital?" He asked hesitantly

"He was close with me. More than me and my mother. He was hit by a car on a rainy day. The hospitals.. just remind me of how he was covered in blood and how he was smiling at me. Telling me that everything is okay when it isn't. I waited him to come for my dance competition but he ended up being a victim of a car accident"

"That is why I never go to the hospitals even though I was injured badly. I just cant. The memories hurt so bad and I couldn't even breath properly" She choked on her own tears and Jimin just hug her. He couldn't do anything except that.

"You dance?" He asked trying to change the topic and the girl nodded

"I was originally a ballerina and I can dance to any genre of music.. but I stopped" She said and there was a long silence

"Jimin ah. I'm sorry for involving you in my life but.. I promise! I promise to divorce you when everything is over" She held out her pinky and Jimin chuckled. He puts her hand down gently and she looks at him in confusion

"Let's get the doctor to put this back on. The faster you recover, the faster you get out from this hospital and the faster we could settle you problems" He smiled

*

A ding from Jimin's phone caught both of their attention.

"who's that?" Haemi asked before munching on her food. It was almost 3 days she is in the hospital and Jimin helped her from not running away. Usually she can somehow get out when she was only admitted for an hour but this time, it was a huge record for her

Jimin frowned when he saw the name. His forehead becomes more creased when he reads the message

"I asked? Who is that?" She repeated. The boy looks up with an unreadable expression

"Its Miyoung"
