"Oh..." Nam Dong Min glanced at him solemnly. "I have to check on my mother. I will see...you later." He was too tired to talk about details. He rushed here as soon as he received the news from his mother. Nam Go Eun was already here when he reached. At this moment, their father and Nam Ji Won were having surgeries. Nam Dong Min rushed back to the meet with Nam Go Eun and his mother.
"Why did you lie?" Na Young yelled at Tae Il. "And who are you?"
"I am Leo," Tae Il replied slowly. It was nothing unusual that Na Young couldn't recognize his real face.
"You are...?" Na Young looked at Son Jong Pil for confirmation. He nodded. "His real name is Seo Tae Il."
"But you are not her boyfriend." Na Young stared at him with disbelief. "Why did you lie to her brother?"
"I didn't lie." Tae Il lied. "I already knew her, but I pretended to not know her at the concert because I didn't want to reveal my secret. She was mad because of that. We had a small fight that day."
"I understand now." Son Jong Pil scratched his chin. "It makes sense. My instincts are never wrong."
"Oppa, he is lying." Na Young pointed at Tae Il. "Ji Won told me that she didn't know him and he wasn't her boyfriend."
"Does Ji Won tell you everything?" Tae Il asked sarcastically. "Did she tell you that she went on a trip?"
Na Young was dumbfounded to hear his words. She had no idea. Seo Tae Il, on the other hand, was mad. He was mad, but he was also disturbed. He just found out that Ju Jimin was Nam Ji Won. Now, she was having surgery. Son Jong Pil had already opened his big mouth to cause a misunderstanding. He also wanted an excuse to stay close to her. She couldn't just die like this. He wanted to ask her why did she pretend to be a man. She even kissed a girl for god's sake. How could he ever doubt her facade? They even spent time in the same room. He even punched her.
She didn't tell him once. Was she laughing at him secretly?
"Right now, it's important that we don't fight." Jong Pil intervened. "Nam Ji Won and her father are having surgeries."
Jong Pil's words cleared their heads a bit. Questions or answers didn't at the moment. Nam Ji Won and her father should live. They went to the operating rooms. Both doors were closed at the moment. Mother Nam was sitting with her eyes closed and her hands at her chest. Nam Dong Min was sitting next to her. Nam Go Eun, a girl with cold eyes, was pacing outside the operating rooms. They didn't leave until the surgery was over.
The door of the first operating room opened. The surgeons came out with tired faces and depressed eyes.
"We are sorry."
Tae Il's heart stopped when he heard the words. Mother Nam lost her consciousness. Nam Dong Min held her tightly to keep her from falling.
"What do you mean by sorry?" Nam Go Eun asked.
"I am sorry that we couldn't save your father."
Nam Go Eun fell on her knees. Na Young rushed to her. Tae Il realized that he could breathe again. He found that he was relieved. It was terrible news, but he was relieved that it was not Nam Ji Won who died. That girl was turning him into a terrible person.
"It's her fault." Nam Go Eun spoke in a low voice. "She always caused trouble. This time, she killed our father."
"Noonim, you shouldn't speak like that." Nam Dong Min was crying. "It was an accident."
"If she didn't take him with her, he wouldn't have died." Nam Go Eun looked at him with hollow eyes. "It's her fault."
"Shut up!" Nam Dong Min shouted. "Don't speak this way. She is our sister."
"Oh, she would survive." Nam Go Eun mumbled. "A person like her won't die easily."
Seo Tae Il left. He couldn't carry on listening. He could see the hatred in Nam Go Eun's eyes. If he stayed, he might do something to her. Even he didn't understand why he was like that. He was mad at Ju Jimin who was Nam Ji Won, but he couldn't hate her either.
When Nam Ji Won's surgery was over, the surgeons revealed that she had a slim chance of survival. Her head received large damage. She also had a lot of internal injuries. Even if she woke up, she might never be a normal person again. In the worst case, she might fall into a vegetative state.
Mother Nam lost her consciousness again when she got the news. Jong Pil helped Go Eun to take her home. Dong Min decided to stay. Na Young also didn't leave. They saw Ji Won covered in bandages and breathing on a machine.
At night, he left the hospital because visiting time was over. Only one family member could stay. That was Dong Min.
Tae Il returned next day. He saw Go Eun instead of Dong-min. She looked haunted. He sat next to her.
"Are you really her boyfriend?" Go Eun's voice was dead.
"Yes." Tae Il looked straight ahead.
"You don't seem like her type." Go Eun chuckled. "Do you think that she will wake up?"
"Yes." Tae Il answered.
"Do you hate me?" Go Eun leaned back. "I always hated her. She got the most attention and love of our father. But she also loved him the most. If she found out that he died, she would blame herself for the rest of her life."
Tae Il didn't reply.
"I don't want her to die," Go Eun said sorrowfully. "She is annoying, but I don't want her to die. I hate her, but she has to live. She can't go like our father. I am afraid that she will follow father."
"She won't die." Tae Il assured her. "She won't sleep forever."
"How are you sure?" Go Eun looked at him. "You are just a kid."
"Believe this kid's words." Tae Il sighed. "You asked a kid. You received his answer. You should trust him."
"If you are wrong, I won't forgive you." Go Eun wiped her tears. "If she dies, I will never forgive her. I won't forgive father either for leaving us like this."
Tae Il clenched his fists. She should wake up.
