You're My Melody Chapter 9: The Accident

Jaejoong couldn’t remember how many times he called her name. She was lying on the ground full of blood. He didn’t dare move her for fear that he might injure her even more. A few onlookers started to form a crowd around them. Someone must’ve called 911 for it wasn’t long before an ambulance came and took them to the hospital.

On the way to the hospital, Jaejoong kept calling her name. He held her hand in his own and whispered, “Please, Seohyun… Don’t die…” He’s terrified. He’s scared that if she stays unconscious she might not wake up again. “Open your eyes Seohyun-ah…” he ordered. When she didn’t he started cursing. “Damn it, Seohyun. Stop scaring me like this. Don’t you dare die!” Frustrated, he squeezed her hand tight and let his tears fell from his eyes.

-------

The four members of Tohoshinki are furious. They’ve been waiting for hours but there have been no sign of Jaejoong. They have to leave now or else they would be late. Yunho has been calling Jae many times already but he never picks up. When Jaejoong answered the phone at last Yunho didn’t give him a chance to speak.

“Where the heck are you, Jae? Get your ass right here this instant!”

“Sorry, Yunho. You guys have to leave without me.”

“What?! Darn it Jae. You know we can’t leave without you! Hurry up and come here. Now!”

“Yunho, please… I-I can’t explain everything right now. Please…”

Changmin grabbed the phone from Yunho. “Hyung… what’s going on?” Changmin knew something happened. Jaejoong isn’t the type who would ditch them without reason.

“I’m in a hospital. It’s Seohyun. S-she got into an accident. I can’t leave her Min. “

“What? Why? How did…?”

“I can’t explain right now. You have to leave without me. Sorry, Min.”

“Alright hyung. I’ll tell the others. Send me the name of the hospital. We will go there after the press con. Take care of yourself. And hyung…”

“What is it, min?”

“She will be fine.” No words can assure him right now but he was still grateful. He said thanks before they hang up.

It was the longest hour of Jaejoong’s life. He was waiting outside the operating room. The doctor said there’s a blood clot inside her head and they need to operate right away. Jaejoong reached for his pocket and took out Seohyun’s phone. It was broken probably due to the impact from the accident. He wanted to call her parents to inform them about the accident but it was impossible now. He just had to wait for Seohyun to wake up. She will definitely wake up. Jaejoong didn’t want to think otherwise.

-------

After the press conference, Changmin, Yoochun, Junsu and Yunho went to see Jaejoong at the hospital. Changmin already explained to the other 3 members the situation Jaejoong was in. He told them about Seohyun and how he and Jaejoong met her the other day. While at the press con, the reporters kept asking about Jaejoong and why he was not able to make it. They simply said he was not feeling well and has to stay at home to rest.

When they arrived at the hospital they saw Jaejoong sitting in a bench outside the recovery room. He looks like hell. His clothes were full of blood, his hair is a mess and his eyes looked like he had been crying. It was a surprise for the other members to see their friend like this.

“Hyung!” Junsu sat beside Jaejoong while the others stood beside him.

“You look like hell Jae.” It was Yunho. “I think you should go home and rest.”

“I can’t leave her like this.”

“You wouldn’t want Seohyun to see you like that right? You need a shower.” Changmin said. Jaejoong finally relented. He decided to take a quick shower then go back to the hospital right away.

-----

Jaejoong came back to the hospital after an hour. Seohyun was already transferred to a private room. The operation was successful and they were just waiting for Seohyun to wake up. The doctor said it might take a few days. Jaejoong stayed at the hospital the whole time and he leaves only to take a shower. The other members are being annoyed that Jaejoong keeps missing their dance rehearsals. They couldn’t understand why he was so obsessed in taking care of a girl he barely knows. Jaejoong doesn’t know either but Changmin does. His hyung is in love with Seohyun and he knew it’s only a matter of time before his hyung realizes it.

On the fourth day since Seohyun got hospitalized, Jaejoong was taking a nap beside her bed. He woke up when he felt a slight movement beside him. When he opened his eyes he saw her staring back at him. He smiled with relief. “Seohyun-ah…” “W-who are you?” she said in a hoarse voice. Jaejoong’s smile faded.
