Minji's POV

I was sitting at a white hospital room. Next to me was Yoohyeon lying on a bed. She was asleep. I wanted her to wake up so badly. This time... this time she had risked her life for me. I can't even believe that my father tried to kill her. How could he? This was insane! Everything they did lately was insane!

Taeyeon told me everything. My father was the one that killed her father. He was the one who made all this mess in her life. He is a mafia boss also. And her father tried to arrest him. So my father killed him. I still couldn't believe it. He wasn't my father. He was a monster! I felt so weak emotionally. But I couldn't leave Yoohyeon's side just because all this drama was happening to me. She was fighting to survive! She was more important than anything else in my life! Screw my father or anything else!

"How is she?" Bora asked me when she went in the room.

"Stable."

"How are you?"

"Fine."

"Are you really?"

"There are a lot to take in. And it will take me some time. But... I'll be fine. The important thing now is for Yoohyeon to be fine."

"Yeah... as for the things you have to know and think, about your father... well it's something Yoohyeon has to tell you." Bora said. I nodded. I was going to wait for her to tell me. She was never easy to talk about serious things like those. I knew something was off with my father and her. Bora just confirmed it. But, I had to wait to know what it was. But of course that could wait. I only cared about Yoohyeon to be well and wake up. The rest could wait.

It took her a few days. In the meantime, my father was arrested for both trying to kill a human and for being a boss of the mafia. But of course he had money. He paid and he would stay in prison for just a year. Seri was saying sorry to me all the time trying so hard to hear me forgiving her. But I wasn't going to pay attention to her. I just wanted Yoohyeon to wake up. I wasn't a person who could be angry and not forgive others forever. I was just too focused on Yoohyeon to even think of what had happened those passing days.

It was a Thursday afternoon. I was at Yoohyeon's hospital room. I had just arrived there. I left some things I had bought on my way to the hospital next to her bed and went to open the windows. I was looking outside the window thinking a bit. But it was so unbelievable to think of it. Whatever my father did. Not just that he tried to kill Yoohyeon. But the fact that he was manipulating his own daughter! It was just...so painful.

"...hey" I heard a low, weak voice from behind me. I turned and saw Yoohyeon on her bed. She was awake. She was finally awake! I ran to her and hugged her. I tried to not hug her tightly cause I knew she was still in pain.

"Yoohyeon! I was so worried baby!" I said. I realized I just called her 'baby'. It was so spontaneously.

"Unnie...are you alright?" She asked me. Her voice was hoarse.

"Don't talk too much. You are still healing." I said.

"I'm fine. I am the one that should be asking you that though. How do you feel?" I asked her.

"Hungry." I smiled at her.

"You are lucky I had the feeling that you were going to wake up and bought you food." I said smiling. I took out the food from the plastica bags that I had brought with me and started feeding her. She was so adorable and she was smiling too.

"Unnie... what happened with your father?" She asked me suddenly.

"He is arrested. But he will be out next year. He has a lot of money so..." I said. Yoohyeon nodded and looked at me in my eyes. I knew she was the type of person who wasn't talking or asking a lot of things. But she was trying to know the feelings and thoughts from other people in other ways. Like observing them. And that's what she was doing now.

"I don't know what to feel Hyeonnie...It's just... I knew my father was capable for a lot of things...but still! This was..." I was crying now. Silently. And Yoohyeon was caressing my back.

"I'm sorry. You are still healing and I'm here talking to you and bothering you and-"

"You never bother me unnie. I'm glad you are talking to me again, actually. I... I missed this." She said shyly and looked at the window thinking.

"Yeah... I missed it too. And also... I'm so sorry Yoohyeon. For everything. But especially for trying to hit you. I'm so sorry." I said crying again. She hugged me, bringing me closer to her.

"It's fine. No need to worry and be sorry. I know it wasn't something you wanted to do." 

I tried to stop crying. Yoohyeon giggled.

"You're a cute crybaby you know that?" I giggled at her words too. We stayed like that, cuddling on her hospital bed, for awhile till the nurse came and told me that Yoohyeon needed to rest.

The next afternoon I was there again. But this time, I saw Seri in Yoohyeon's room. She was talking with her. I was about to go inside when I overheard her saying,

"Just stay away from Minji. She loves me. And I love her. Can't you see it? We were about to go to Russia too! If it wasn't for you-"

"Enough! Seri! What are you even saying to her? I never loved you! It was dad's orders! And she is freaking injured! Are you insane!?" I yelled at her. I was mad. Why was she trying to keep us away still? Was she that crazy? And to think of it, that she was begging me to forgive her! And I was about to do so!

"I'm not insane JiU! I'm desperate for you to love me back!" Seri said.

"I'm sorry. But this will never happen. Now leave the room please. She needs to heal. She was shot near her chest for goodness sake!" It was true. She was shot on her shoulder, a bit lower though, near her chest area. I was so frozen, scared and broken at that moment. I thought I lost her. And even with the thought of it I was getting teary again. I remembered myself crying over her unconscious body asking for her to come back to me. It hurt so much.

"JiU, don't cry. I got it. I'll leave. And maybe I'll leave forever from your lives. I'll go back to Russia in a few weeks. Please,... don't cry." Seri said with tears in her eyes too. She hugged me and I stayed there crying. I was feeling so numb and finally all my emotions were out. I could finally cry. Everything... was too much. It hurt so much...

I pulled away from her hug and went to hug Yoohyeon instead. She was my home. I was feeling safe only in her arms. And Yoohyeon hugged me like she always did. Seri was looking at us with teary eyes and left.

"Minji...Go tell her you are sorry. You were too harsh on her." Yoohyeon said.

"I know...but still!"

"Minji... really now. She is just broken. Remember when I left you and told you I didn't love you? You were broken, right? She is the same. She just... don't know how to deal with it. She never lost something she loved. She had everything. A perfect family, money, friends. Everything. You know better than me how it is to have everything. And you know really well how it is when you have everything but not the one you love." She said. I nodded. She was right.

"Fine. You are right anyway. I'll talk to her. But later. Not now."

"Are you fine now?" She asked me. I nodded.

"I thought...I lost you, Yoo. I thought I would never see you again, never talk to you again. It was so painful." I said and started crying again.

"Unnie... I'm here though. I'm still here. I'm not gone. So stop crying please. You'll make me cry too." She said softly and caressed my hair. I nodded and wiped my tears away.

"LOVEBIRDS! Miss us?" Bora shouted as she got in and and went to sit at a chair close to us.

"WHY WERE YOU CRYING?" She asked us worriedly.

"Keep it down. My head hurts and she is still healing!" I scolded her.

"Still. Who made my ultimate ship to cry?"

"No one. All those things that happened lately made us both emotional." I said and turned to look at Yoohyeon. She had teary eyes too. But she wiped them quickly away. That was always how Yoohyeon acted when I was crying. She was crying too. She was so sensitive.

"Wait, did you just say they are your ultimate ship? What about us Bora?" Siyeon asked her, as soon as she entered the room as well, pretending that she was mad and hurt.

(What about us? Gosh! Where is Pink? Sorry, I still love a few arists from pop except from kpop, hehe)

"Siyeon ah... we... we are an ultimate ship too. It's just, it's their book baby, their fanfic. Not ours! Yet...Oh come on baby! Don't get mad at me!" Bora tried to act cute around Siyeon so she would forgive her. She even did aegyo! We were laughing so hard. And I was so happy I was a part of this group again. The rest of the girls came here too saying news from school.

"Well, I have also bad news. Everyone at college hates you Minji. They say that you are a daughter of a murderer and all that shitty things." Dami said. Everyone turned to look at me.

"Well, at least now Yoohyeon won't be alone. She will have company at the hating club." I said smiling and everyone laughed.

"I want to sign to the hating club too!" Gahyeon said. And soon all of the girls joined us. How could I do this to them and obey to my dad just like that? They were my family, not him. I wasn't going to hurt them again. None of them.

The days passed by and soon Yoohyeon was sent to her home. And of course I was going to take care of her. I was practically, no wait, I was living there. I didn't want to return home and I also didn't want to leave Yoohyeon too. She had made a space for me so we were living comfortably together.

"Minji...I know you don't avoid your home just for the bad memories and your dad. You also avoid AleXa too, right? Just talk to her please." Yoohyeon told me once again.

"Fine. I'll go then. Now that Dami is still here. I don't want to leave you alone." I said and kissed her on her forehead and left.

When I arrived at my house everything seemed empty. My mom was missing probably at work or at the police station to see my dad. She didn't know anything of his bad side. So she was as shocked as I was.

As I went inside the house searching for Seri, I saw my mom in the kitchen.

"Mom? You are cooking?" I asked her surprised that she was there and not at work. I knew she knew how to cook. But we had maids for that. It was a rare sight to see her cooking.

"Oh my gosh! Minji! You are here!" My mom said and hugged me so tightly.

"I missed you so much. A-are you fine?" She was so broken. Like me.

"I'm fine mom. We will get through this together. What did you tell to Minho?"

"The truth."

"All of it?" My mom nodded.

"I can't hide the truth. You know I hate doing that. Your dad did it and it was so painful learning the whole truth in this way. So no. My son has to know all the truth. Even if it's painful." My mom said wiping her tears away.

"And yes Minji. I'm cooking. I fired all the maids. And we will leave this house too. We won't leave the town don't worry. I found a really good apartment a few blocks away. I can't keep living like this. When your father did all that. I also broke up with him. The divorce is going to be official in a few days. So... pack your stuff slowly slowly. We will leave tomorrow probably. I don't mind you living with Yoohyeon. Just... don't forget us Minji. We are all so hurt now and we need each other to move on, honey." My mom said. I was only listening to her and nodded. I wasn't going to leave her side now. Not when she needed me. Not when I needed her.

"Noona! You are back!" Minho shouted and came and hugged us both me and my mom. He was crying too.

"Noona, it hurts. Dad...he..." He said between his sobs.

"Shhh...It's ok. Noona is here." I said hugging him tighter. We were all so broken. But we needed to stay together to get through this pain. I left them cooking at the kitchen and went to my room. Seri was there gathering her stuff.

"When are you going to leave?" I asked her.

"Tomorrow."

"Have you bought your ticket?"

"Yes"

"Then cancel it. I'll give you the money for the ticket. I want you to stay with us. You are a part of the family Seri. You were manipulated to my dad's plans too. Stay with us. Please. I'm asking you that. I am the one who asks you to stay. Cause I want you to stay. As a member of my family. You were my friend since childhood and you will always be that special to me. Please Seri." I pleaded her. I didn't want her to go. Not in that way. Nothing was fine. I didn't want her to leave because I broke her heart. No. This wasn't going to happen.

"Fine... I'll stay."

"We also...need to talk. About everything..." I said scratching the back of my neck nervously.
