💜 FATAL ACCIDENT 💜
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
“The results is ready”He smiled, handing the results to him, which he took with a shaky hand.
The more he opened it,the more his heart beat accelerated,and when he finally opened it, his eye went wide in shock and more tears flowed down his cheeks while a smile crept the corner of his lips.
The results is positive!! It’s her! She’s his Ara!!
~~~~~~
Holy $h|t!! So it’s her? He has been with his Ara all throughout? And he couldn’t even understand the hand writings on the wall? Her likes, dislikes and the mark showed it all,they where signs to him,but he ignorantly failed to realize this on time. Somehow beom-seok felt that the picnic to Nami was a blessing in disguise,thou she’s still not awake but he got to know that Aerum was his Ara!!
Beom-seok wiped his tears happily and turned to the doctor.
“Thanks doctor,it’s…it’s…she came back!!”He smiled and the doctor nodded.
“I know the feeling,take your time man!!”He patted beom-seok back before leaving Aerum’s ward,the moment he left.. beom-seok turned smiley to aerum before taking hold of her hand,then he began peppering her knuckles with kisses.
“Thanks Ara! For coming back and giving us a second chance!!”He said happily,then wiggled his brow almost immediately as if remembering something.

<STREETS>
Two figures could be seen, holding hands as they walked through the busy streets while chatting happily.
“Do you think Do-Yun is being sincere with her request or is there something more to it?”Yu-Ri asked.
“Don’t even think of accepting her request. I don’t trust her”Hyun-Woo replied her and she giggled before pulling her hand out of his grip.
“What?”Hyun-Woo furrowed his brows,but Yu-Ri ignored him. Instead she went to his back and hop on it happily.
“Aww!!”Hyun-Woo Yelped, almost falling on his knee.
“Piggyback please!!”She pouted, peeking out her face from the back.
“You should have requested calmly than taking me unawares,I almost fell down”He uttered and Yu-Ri smiled.
“Wh@??ver,let’s go to the coffee shop nearby”She suggested and Hyun-Woo nodded.
••••
<MOMENTS LATER>
“Americano…”
“Cu….”
“I’ll go with Americano please”Yu-Ri cut him off happily and he chuckled.
“In a jiffy!”The server said and left.
He came back few seconds and placed the cup of coffee on the table,he bowed and left.
“This is good!”Yu-Ri grinned, sucking on her bottom lips.
“I know right?”Hyun-Woo laughed, sucking on his bottom lips too.
“Yah! Stop mimicking me”Yu-Ri rolled eye.
“Yah! Stop mimicking me”Hyun-Woo uttered with a knowing smile and Yu-Ri scoffed before looking away.
Hyun-Woo smiled secretly and leaned closer to her, before kissing her on the cheeks! Yu-Ri eye went wide and she immediately pulled away, while looking around the coffee shop.
“No one is watching!”Hyun-Woo pouted and Yu-Ri smiled.
“You took me unawares!”She uttered.
“Kiss me!”Hyun-Woo uttered and Yu-Ri wiggled his brow.
“Huh?”
“Nothing!”He replied, trying to sit straight but Yu-Ri grabbed his collar, locking their lips immediately.

<HOSPITAL>
Beom-seok sat, while contemplating on what to do. Was he to go inform Ara’s mom or was he to go to the deashim house? Earlier he rushed out happily to go bring Ara’s mom,but stopped and turned back.
First,he was happy that she’s back to him, but on the other hand he was still confused and worried. Was he going to take aerum away from the deashim? Or was he going to let Ara’s mom suffer her mental unstability? He dipped his hands in his hair, feeling frustrated and at the same time confused.
His thoughts was suddenly interupted when the door opened and the deashim walked in.
“How is she?”Mrs deashim asked, going closer to aerum who eyes was tightly shut,the oxygen was helping her to breath too.
“She’s fine!”Beom-seok replied, bowing shortly.
“Are you okay at all?”Mr deashim asked, noticing his countenance.
Beom-seok only forced a smile, while nodding slowly.
“You’re worried about her?”Mr deashim asked again.
“Who wouldn’t be worried huh? She’s not moving,even if it’s just the finger?”Beom-seok uttered and Mr deashim chuckled painfully.
“She’ll be fine!”He told beom-seok who smiled in return.
They’ll kept quiet,as they sat watching aerum till beom-seok decided to break the long silence.
“How will you feel or react once she finds her biological parents?”He throwed the question.
There was a brief silence,and Mr deashim smiled dryly before replying his question.
“I’ll feel sad and at the same time happy. It’s true that we’ve lived with her for the past years,but I’ve always wanted her to know exactly who she was,I’ve always wanted to know her real name, her parents,what and how she ended in such condition,but giving it a second thought I decided to let go…who knows, someone was after her life”Mr deashim uttered with a slight shrug and beom-seok nodded.
“You’re asking this cos the result was positive?”Mrs deashim asked with a sad smile and beom-seok nodded.
“That’s a relief”Mr deashim said and beom-seok turned to him In shock,but the look on their faces was obvious that they where sad.
Beom-seok sighed and looked away from them.
He’d inform Ara’s mom,but first aerum had to wake up, wasn’t that the best thing to do?
•••••
<THREE MONTHS LATER~GLITTERING HIGHSCHOOL>
After the first class was over, beom-seok slipped in his notebook in his backpack and stood up hurriedly, which got ji-hoon turning his way.
“Aerum!!”He said,as if reading ji-hoon mind and ji-hoon sighed out tiredly.
“Told you she’ll be awake soon, didn’t I?”Ji-hoon uttered and beom-seok sighed.
“It’s been three months already ji-hoon!!”He said, sitting back slowly.
“I know,but there’s still hope isn’t it?”He asked again and beom-seok facepalmed himself tiredly.
“I don’t know ji-hoon,but I’m slowly loosing my mind”He mumbled, throwing back his head.
It’s been three months already and aerum is still in coma,thou the doctor said there’s still hope of her waking up but nothing is happening at the moment.
Everything was happening slowly,too slow that beom-seok had to let Ara’s mom know,on the condition that she won’t let anyone know,not even the husband.
••••
<SCHOOL ROOFTOP>
“Yunno, school has been boring!”A-Yeong muttered sadly, flipping her notes with a pout.
“I know right?”Yu-Jun muttered too and sighed.
“Here they are!”Seo-Jun snarled, marching angrily towards them.
A-Yeong and Yu-Jun exchanged glances and sighed, without saying anything to them.
She walked closer to them and grabbed Yu-Jun hair from behind, making her Yelp in pains.
“What’s the problem?”A-Yeong asked, Standing up from the bench.
“I just don’t want to be seeing you guys,is that too difficult for you both to do?”She snorted, pulling Yu-Jun hair hard.
A-Yeong walked closer to her,then grabbed her hair too.
“You’re just a pathetic fellow Yunno! Tell me one reason you want us to disappear??”She shouted,still pulling it.
“Argh!! Let go!”She whimpered, releasing Yu-Jun hair.
“Answer the f-__-k my question!!”A-Yeong gritted and Seo-Jun winced.
“Aerum is out of the picture and I want you guys to do same!!”She retorted and A-Yeong released her hair, before turning Seo-Jun’s face to hers,and within an eye blink,a scream escaped Seo-Jun’s lips the moment A-Yeong slapped her hard.
“Don’t ever,I repeat don’t ever say the trash that Aerum is out of the picture, else I’mma breaking your bones!!”A-Yeong thr_@tened and Seo-Jun flinched.
“And you think we don’t know? Wait till aerum is awake!!”A-Yeong thundered and walked out..
“Jeez!! How dare she slap me?”Seo-Jun asked rhetorically, rolling her tongue in her mouth.
••••
<NIGHT~HOSPITAL>
A silhouette figure could be seen, walking cautiously in the busy hallway of the hospital,the figures face down while it kept walking fastly.
One of the nurses began walking the figure,but in a brisk move…it hid behind the wall till the nurse walked out, coming out…the figure exhaled and continued walking.
He kept looking at each wards upper wall, searching for one particular ward… the moment the figure saw what it was looking for,it walked in hastily.
The ward he walked in, turned out to be Aerum’s ward…she was breathing lowly,but her eyes was still closed.
The figure brought out a knife from his back pocket and walked more closer to aerum.
“Tick.. tock!! Bye!!”He uttered, raising the knife to her chest but the door squeaked open and Aerum’s biological mom walked in.
“Holy $h|t!!”She screamed out at what she saw.
•••
<MR CHUL’S MANSION~BEOM-SEOK ROOM>
After beom-seok was done having his shower,he grabbed his phone and sat down scrolling through Aerum’s picture,a drop of tears escaped his eye and trickled down his cheeks till it landed on his phone screen,he wiped it off and exhaled.
Shang-hoon walked in afterwards.
“Why are you here?”Beom-seok muttered icily and shang-hoon chuckled before sitting down.
“I don’t remember asking you to sit!”Beom-seok uttered and shang-hoon scoffed.
“Aren’t you one unfortunate being?”Shang-hoon smirked and beom-seok sighed before standing up choosing to ignore him.
“I’ll advise we both give up on love, cos it’s obvious it’s not our thing. First was Ara and now aerum! Doesn’t that ring a bell? Doesn’t that make meaning to you?”He said and beom-seok heaved, trying so much to control his anger and emotion at the moment.
He wanted to launch a heavy punch on shang-hoon face,but no…he won’t! Since he doesn’t know about aerum being Ara! There’s no meaning exchanging words with him.
Beom-seok walked to the door,his hand on the door knob while he intended to twist it when shang-hoon next word stopped him.
“What if she ends up like Ara? I mean dying!!”
••••
“Holy $h|t!!”She screamed out at what she saw, dropping her bag hurriedly.
Aerum was moving a finger slowly, while wincing in pains.
“You’re awake? You’re awake?”She shouted, screaming out to the doctor who rushed in afterwards, leaving the door open.
The silhouette figure choose that as an opportunity to escape,he was hiding behind the curtain close to the door.
The doctor rushed out and came back almost immediately with his instruments.
“Beom… beom-seok!!”She kept muttering, weeping inaudibly which got the doctor turning to Mrs chul.
“We need to call him!”He said and she nodded, bringing out her phone.
•••
“What if she ends up like Ara? I mean dying!!”
“I’ll kîll you for real if anything happens to her!”Beom-seok said murderously and shang-hoon only laughed before standing up from the bed.
“Your choice bro!”He shrugged and went to the door, pushing beom-seok off but turned when beom-seok phone began ringing.
📞”She’s awake??”Beom-seok screamed happily into the caller which got shang-hoon looking at him in shock, beom-seok kept talking happily that shang-hoon rolled eye and walked out.
Five minutes later, beom-seok was already rushing down the stairs. He ran to the lot and opened his car door, getting in before driving out. Shang-hoon who was peeking from his room window scoffed and rolled eye, before slumping on his sofa then took his phone.
Meanwhile, beom-seok could be seen driving the road speedily while looking at the time. Since the ride from his house to the hospital is an hour drive,he decided to step on the speed so as to be able to meet up in time.
Aerum was currently whimpering his name,with her eyes still closed and beom-seok wanted to be there before she finally flicks her eyes open. He stepped on the speed again but a truck came out from his left, driving speedily towards him.
Beom-seok eye went wide in horror as he tried marching on the brakes,but the brakes failed instantly which got beom-seok freaking out fearfully. On the other hand,the truck was still driving towards him with a fast pace, with no intention of slowing down or stopping actually, while horning madly and his truck light hitting beom-seok face seriously.
Left with no option, beom-seok decided to make a turn but the moment he did…he clashed madly with the truck and began surmasulting terribly,the truck wasn’t left out either,it was surmasulting too.
One of the cars tank made a leak which got an explosion occuring immediately.
