I'm Breaking

Chaeyoung PoV

"But mommy! I wanna see Uncle Jungkook nowwww!!!!" Jiyoon complained. 

The whole time this morning, after the surgery medicine wore off of her, she screamed Jungkook's name. Does she not feel the after-surgery pains? Where the sliced part of your skin really hurts?

Jiyoon has been awfully energetic and I hate it. Jennie-eonnie decided to buy some sweets from cafeteria to shut Jiyoon up because eating is one way to make her quiet. 

That sounds exactly like me. 

"Okay, baby, Uncle Kook will be here when he's free," I said.

"But I wanna see him now!!!!" 

"Well Ji--"

3 knocks cut me off of my sentence.

"Come in," I said.

When the door opened, a pink balloon, bouquet of flowers and an ice bear stuffed animal with a man holding it entered.

"Good morning, sunshine!" he greeted.

Jiyoon raised her hands up and smiled, "Uncle Jungkook!!!!!"

"Well, she got what she wanted," I laughed. 

"Your mom said you woke up, so I got you this," Jungkook gave out the gifts he brought.

"Kook? Can I go leave you guys for a sec? I'll check on eonnie."

"Yeah, sure."

I walked out of the room and went to cafeteria and saw Jennie seated in one of the tables, looking down and everything. 

Does she have trauma for what happened? Or does she think I'm mad at her for what happened? Of course, an accident is an accident, I couldn't blame eonnie for what happened during the shootings. 

The only thing I'm thinking of right now is to be thankful that neither her or Jiyoon were severely injured, unlike the rest of the victims. 

I sat down on the chair in front of her and knocked on the table to get her attention.

"Eonnie? What are you thinking of?" I asked.

"Nothing, it's nothing," she smiled. 

"How could it be nothing? It's alright to talk, you know."

She looked outside the window, "You know how business shit work here in Korea, right? Arrange marriages are way 19th century but it's still a thing in the business world."

"Talk about it, Jungkook said he was arranged with a 21 year old girl but what's your point?"

"My parents think it's time for me to settle down."

"Are you kidding?"

"No," she wiped the tear from her cheek. "That's why I took long to pick up Jiyoon and when I got hit by the bullet, I thought it was the best way to die but I didn't."

"Eonnie," I placed my hand on hers. "Don't say that. Let's think positively. Who's the guy they want you to pair up with."

"He's my ex."

I was dumbfounded. She cried because it was her ex-boyfriend?

"I'm sorry, what now?" I asked.

She cried harder, "He's my ex, Chaeyoung, my ex!"

"Who..which ex..exactly?"

"Kim Jeongin!!!!" she screamed. "You don't know him coz he's my high school ex!!!"
