Chapter Thirteen

San POV

Its been 2 weeks since she has been in the hospital. In that time, we have had to go to school and continue about our lives like normal. As if it is at all possible, nobody will fess up as to who did it to her and she has not woken up at all since she went. Doctors say that even though she has not woken up yet that her having all this time to heal is good for her. We have all taken turns visiting her, but we are starting to lose hope even Yunho who was usually always makes us smile has lost his happiness bubble. None of us has danced or sang or done anything remotely goofy since we were at the hospital. In such a short time we all grew to like her. Today Hongjoong planned a day to the amusement park to liven everyone's spirits. It was a sunny Saturday afternoon we all get to the theme park and when the car is parked Hongjoong looks back at us and simply states "I know everyone is worried about Hirami but we can't be sad forever. We need something everyone likes to do and something to ease our stress levels. We are not betraying her if we have at least one fun day. She wouldn't want us to be miserable like we have been so for one day just let loose" He always knows exactly what to say. We all put on our best smile and get out and start the day. A few hours in and we are all laughing and having a good time completely forgetting about all the sadness. I think one day we should definitely take Hirami here, I do not even know if she has ever been the amusement park, I will have to ask Yunho. We go about and do what we do at the amusement park, on the way back home Seonghwa got a phone call that made him super serious and he only responded with "understood, yes, yes, yes I understand" No idea what it was in reference to. When he got off the phone, he did not say anything but instead went about life as normal. Yeosang was the first to ask about it to which he just responded with simple hmms. So not a real answer. He made us food like he always does, and we ate some occasionally everyone seemed to be mostly back to themselves with the concern still there but not as bad as before. I just want her to wake up and tell us who did this to her. The police came to school land questioned everyone, but nobody confessed to even hitting her. To be honest I do not know what to do. We all gather her homework but if she does not wake up soon, she may be held back a year. After we get done eating dinner Wooyoung suggests karaoke and alcohol to loosen everyone up a bit and even though all of us are underage we know how to do it responsibly. Jongho usually does not drink and takes care of everyone since he is the youngest. It works and we all get pretty drunk and have a lot of fun and most of us pass out on the floor.

Seonghwa POV

When we were at home my phone rang so I picked it up "Hello, this is Park Seonghwa" "yes Mr. Park I am doctor Jiho here at Seoul medical hospital, and miss Kim Hirami has come out of her comatose state but the thing is she doesn't want any visitors yet. I am very sorry mr. Park." He says "Okay, I understand thank you for the update" we both said our goodbye and hung up. There isn't any sense in telling the guys until she wants to see us. So, I went on about the night. Eventually she will come to her senses and she will accept us and let us back to see her.

Hirami POV

I woke up in the hospital again the doctors told me I had been in a coma for 2 weeks and that I had busted open my stitches they told me it would take a couple months for me to fully heal but in about 6 weeks I should be able to resume normal functions assuming I take care of myself and don't bust open any more wounds. After seeing a therapist for a few days, I opened up about who did this to me and got a chance to talk it out. I mentioned how I am sure they did not know about the stitches and probably did not mean to almost kill me. The police would still talk to them and apparently reprimand them for it. The therapist also suggested that I should see my friends (Ateez) and talk to them and tell them what happened and how they were coming everyday and have been worried about me. When I was out and, in the coma, I could hear the boys talking to me and some of them told me their dreams of becoming kpop idols and how they dance and sing. They used to practice all the time but have not lately because of how worried they have been about me that someone of them cried for a really long time like Yunho, and San. I feel really bad for worrying them so much and not letting them come see me but being able to talk it out with someone else really helped me and though it did not solve anything it just the beginning of me trying to move forward. After the meeting with the therapist I was told by the doctors I could go home later in the afternoon and I told them it was okay to call Seonghwa to let him know.

Seonghwa POV

I got another phone call from the doctor at the hospital saying that she was being released later today and she wanted to see me only. I grabbed some clothes for her from her room including some sweatpants and San's hoodie and some fresh undergarments and I put them in a bag and told everyone I was going for a walk and would be back in a few hours. Once I get to the hospital I go to her room and see her there and hug her immediately which makes her cry. "do you know how worried we have been? I am so happy you're awake and ready to go home and see us all." She just sniffles and looks at me I give her the bag of stuff and goes to the bathroom to change. She gives me a soft smile and I talk to the doctor and do all the stuff I have to do to get her released. I then help her out of the hospital and into the car and I turn and look at her "want to go somewhere I like to go when I need some place not to worry?" I ask and she just nods and smiles. On the drive I play some music and when we get there she gasps, and I just smile. It is a park with a beautiful view of some water with a couple of trees with flowers everywhere. "so, do you want to talk about why you only wanted me to come and why you wouldn't let us see you for days?" She just looks at her feet and explains and it makes sense I mean she did just meet most of us. I told her she should tell the rest though, they will understand. I also let her know the girl that has been bullying her has been pulled out of our school and is going to an all-girls school because her parents found out about what she did to Hirami and didn't want her to be stained with that reputation forever so they moved her away and offered a lot of things to us to try and settle the debt of almost killing Hirami including lumps of money to never speak of it again. San said she needs some therapy and anger management classes which made Hirami laugh. After awhile of talking I drove back to the house and helped her up the stairs and after a couple of breaths I opened the door and when she came inside I heard a cup shatter to the ground and a couple of happy screams, crying Yunho, and San just stood there very shocked and visibly upset. "come on Hirami lets get you settled in your room and the others can come talk to you in there while you rest." she nods with appreciation and walks back to her room and I help her on the bed and get her all tucked in and tell the boys they can go see her if they want.
