The girls were shocked to know that Yeojin’s in the hospital. But they were more upset about how the youngest was beat up badly.
Ever since they met, Yeojin is the youngest in the friend group so that automatically makes her their baby.
And if their baby gets hurt, well then someone’s fucked. The girls would always look out for Yeojin so they were hurt when Hyejoo told them what happened.
—————————————————————
Haseul is feeling very angry right now as she’s driving much more faster than usual.
Vivi and Heejin were in the car with her and were a little scared. Sure they’re also upset about Yeojin but Haseul’s driving like how Sooyoung and Jinsoul drove.
“Hey Seulie, can you slow down please?” Vivi asks her calmly as she lays her hand on her thigh.
Haseul sighs angrily but slows the car down “Sorry its just…..I can’t believe Yeojin is in the hospital. Like, what happened?” She tells them with a small frown.
Vivi nods and just moves her hand to hold Haseul’s. Heejin was in the middle seat and thinks about this could’ve happened. It was weird, like first she’s on a date with Yerim and then next thing you know, she’s in the hospital.
“Hopefully Yerim isn’t blaming herself because Yeojin walked back home alone at night” Heejin says to the seniors up front.
Haseul and Vivi sigh at why did Yeojin walk alone in the dark. She knew to spend the night with Yerim but decided not to.
The three students arrived to the hospital as Haseul parked the car. They get out and see the others arriving as well.
Jinsoul got out along with Hyunjin and Chaewon. Both of the sophomores had teary eyes while the senior had a blank face.
Sooyoung joined them with a grim expression. Jiwoo had red eyes and Jungeun had tear marks on her cheeks.
Yerim was being hugged by Jungeun as she had already stopped crying but wanted comfort.
When the other girls saw this, their hearts broke for her. Yerim should be happy right now with Yeojin by her side but fate has other plans.
They all walked into the waiting room and Haseul went up to the receptionist to ask for Yeojin’s room number.
The girls fast walked down the hallway to the elevator. Entering, it was quiet as only the humming of the elevator was heard.
No one wanted to say anything until they saw precious maknae. They hopped off once the doors opened and headed towards Yeojin’s room.
Their hearts were beating anxiously to see the youngest. Haseul knocked on the door timidly and heard a voice yell ‘come in’.
Opening the door, the girls all walk in together and see Yeojin’s parents on her left side sitting down. And Hyejoo on her right side also sitting but had her head down.
Mr. Im turns around and sees the girls come in. He gives them a small smile and gestures for them to come closer.
They do and gasp seeing Yeojin lay on the bed with different machines poking in and out of her body as well as the cuts and bruises on her face. Some of them feel tears fall freely from their eyes.
Hyejoo lifts up her head and turns to look over at the girls. Her eyes were red and her nose looked stuffy from crying so much.
Chaewon saw the pout on her face and moved forward to bring her into an embrace. Hyejoo hugged the older tightly as she buried her face in her chest.
The girls have never seen Hyejoo cry before so it was kind of surprising to see her cry. But they knew how close her and Yeojin were so they understand.
Mrs. Im scans that girls to find a particular person. Once her eyes land on her, she sees how heart broken the girl is.
“Yerimie, come here” She tells her. Yerim picks up her head and walks up to her timidly. Mrs. Im stands up from her seat and let’s Yerim sit down.
“Oh its fine auntie, you can sit” She tries to protest but Mrs. Im shakes her head.
“Nonsense, you can have a seat. Yeojin probably misses you” She says and Yerim sits down quietly.
Her hands were trembling a little as they reached for Yeojin’s small hand. Yerim softly takes them and feels herself choking up again.
The girls could only watch as she tries to stop herself from sobbing. Mr. and Mrs. Im make eye contact with each other and nod.
Mr. Im clears his throat “We’ll let you girls have some time alone with Yeojin. If you need us, we’ll be downstairs in the cafeteria” He tells them and grabs his wife’s hand to pull them out of the room.
The girls nod and watch them leave. Once they’re gone, Yerim just starts full on sobbing. They were startled a little but then feel themselves wanting to cry as well.
Hyejoo had let go of Chaewon and sat down again. She watches her same age friend shed tears for Yeojin and feels her tears wanting to fall again.
“How does this happen?” Haseul whispers to them. They all look at her to see her trying so hard to not cry.Â
Hyejoo shrugs “I don’t know. I-i just found her i-in her room p-passed out” She stutters out and looks away from Haseul.
Haseul stares at Yeojin for a good minute before bursting into tears. The girls turn to her and Vivi hugs her quickly.
The class president always treated Yeojin like her daughter along with Vivi. So when she sees her all hurt and lying in a bed not moving hurts her so bad.
Vivi pulls Haseul into her arms as she cries. The older just caresses her back as she tries to calm her down even if a few of her tears slipped out.
Sooyoung and Jinsoul have never seen Haseul this emotional. Technically, all of the seniors were really well at hiding their emotions from people.
“Hyejoo, when did you find her like this?” Jiwoo asks the freshman as she tries to not look at Yeojin.
Hyejoo lifts up her head “I found her like this around almost 2 in the morning. We were supposed to sneak out earlier to walk around town like we usually do” She says even though her and Yeojin never wanted anyone to know about them sneaking out.
The girl shake their head at the kids sneaking out. Yerim stops crying and stares at her with a small frown.
“Both of you sneak out to just walk around alone in the middle of the night?” Yerim asks her and feels herself getting angry.
Hyejoo shrinks into her seat feeling Yerim’s glare on her “Y-yes but we haven’t done it in a while so we agreed to do it after our dates so we can talk about them” She answers and feels Chaewon lay a hand on her shoulder.
Yerim just sighs and looks at Yeojin. Some of the girls were kind of mad at the two kids walking alone after dark but pushed it away to focus on how Yeojin got hurt.
“Do you have any idea how Yeojin got t-this beat up?” Heejin speaks up as she holds onto Hyunjin’s arm. Hyunjin was too quiet and it scares her.
The girls turn to Hyejoo who shook her head “No, I had called her before heading to her house to make sure we were hanging out. But when I called her, she sounded like she was in pain. I had this gut feeling so after we hung up, I decided to check her out and found her on the floor” She tells them and leans back into Chaewon’s body.
The sophomore wrapped her arms around her when she leaned back. Haseul stops crying and calms down before removing herself from Vivi’s embrace.
Jungeun moves closer to the bed “Did they doctor say anything about her injuries” She asks the freshman and turns to look at her.
Hyejoo shakily breathes in and nods. The doctor’s words were still clear to her when he first said them. She didn’t know how to word the explanation so the girls don’t start sobbing.
Chaewon senses the younger’s hesitation and tightens her grip on her to let her know she’s right there by her side.
Hyejoo exhales before answering “The doctor said that she needed an emergency surgery on her lungs because two of her ribs were broken and one managed to puncture her lung. She had trouble breathing and…flat lined but they got her back” Her voice breaks at the end.
The girls feel their hearts break even more hearing that Yeojin technically died for a few seconds before coming back to life. They just stare at Yeojin feeling sorry for her.
Hyejoo continues “One of her other ribs had managed to puncture her side which caused for a cut to form and started bleeding. She has a big cut on her head that needed stitches as it couldn’t stop bleeding, but she does have a minor concussion. They sealed the wound on her lung and said she’ll be able to wake up tomorrow when her breathing returns to normal” She finishes as a few tears slipped out.
Yerim starts crying again and Jungeun goes up to rub her back. Some of the girls were also shedding a few tears as Hyejoo finished explaining her injuries.
Three of the girls were thinking about how hurt Yeojin is feeling. And promised to find out whoever did this to her.
“I couldn’t do anything to stop her from getting beating up. I had vowed to protect her at all costs but now look at her! Its all my fault that she’s in the hospital!” Hyejoo cries out as she lays her head on Yeojin’s arm.
The girls were feeling sorry for Hyejoo as she was the one who found her. They hated that she was blaming herself because no one knew this would happen.
Chaewon moves around her and engulfs her into a hug. Hyejoo was sobbing her heart out into her chest as the older calms her down.
It hurts Yerim that Hyejoo was blaming herself for this happening to Yeojin when it should her fault. She should’ve tried harder to make Yeojin stay the night with her.
“Its not your fault Joo Joo, don’t blame yourself when you had nothing to do with this. It should be my fault because I didn’t try hard enough to make Yeojinie stay the night” She says to her friend.
It was hurting her to know she could’ve prevented this. Jungeun shakes her head and bends down to Yerim’s eye level.
“This is not your fault either Yerimie. You tried your best to convince Yeojin to stay with you. We can’t always know when something bad is going to happen. Do not blame yourself please and you too Hyejoo” She tells her then turns to look at Hyejoo.
The two freshmen nod their heads and sniff a little. They calm themselves down from crying too much as everyone just quiets down and watch Yeojin sleep.
About a few minutes later from hearing the machine beep, Hyejoo sniffs a little before looking at them.
“You know she tried to hide her injuries? When I found her, there were bandages wrapped around her as she tried to deal with her injuries by herself”
She tells them and watches how they all sigh frustratingly. They knew Yeojin was the type to not say anything if she’s in pain or if something’s bothering her.
“That little shit” Sooyoung whispers under her breath. She felt stressed knowing Yeojin was going to hide what happened to her whenever they see each other on Monday.
Yeojin looked calm as she slept with an oxygen mask on her face to help her breathe. Her face was still a little pale from the amount of blood loss but it looks better than when Hyejoo first found her.
The girls just sat around the room and watched Yeojin sleep. It was quiet with the machine beeping whenever Yeojin’s heart beats. Her parents were still in the cafeteria letting them spend time with her.
—————————————————————
Its been a few hours since the girls had arrived to the hospital. They spent some time together with Yeojin still asleep.
They tried to lighten up the atmosphere by talking about their dates from yesterday.
Sooyoung, Jinsoul and Haseul made the atmosphere upbeat by arguing over something stupid and wrestling each other.
They were rolling around the floor with Sooyoung having Haseul in a chokehold, who is pulling Jinsoul’s hair, who has her foot on Sooyoung’s face.
The others could only watch them with a small smile. They noticed how Hyejoo and Yerim were laughing at the seniors and were glad for the distraction.
After that WWE match, Yeojin’s parents came back into the room. They were happy for their daughter to have such a great group of friends.
The girls stayed there at the hospital all day. They talked with Mr. and Mrs. Im about the baseball game since they couldn’t go.
The atmosphere was a different one than the one they came into. Mr. and Mrs. Im noticed how the sun had already set and told the girls to go home and get some rest.
They tried to protest and say they’re fine but Mrs. Im wouldn’t take no for an answer. So the girls bid goodbye to them and Yeojin, who couldn’t hear them.
Hyejoo and Yerim didn’t want to leave Yeojin but were forced to get some rest by Mrs. Im, so they sadly left. The girls told them they would be coming back tomorrow after school.
The seniors took everyone home before heading to their home. But, there were three people who didn’t go home just yet.
They had a feeling of who beat up Yeojin and wanted to confront him. But they needed an adult with them and knew exactly which one.
