Chapter 38

EUNJEE

I rushed to the emergency room when Jackson called and told me that Mark was experiencing an allergy attack, he only told me that they were drinking and Mark just had so many that his body is now reacting. I told them to bring him here since I was on duty and they didn't know what to do since Mark was unconscious, coincidentally they were not that far from here.

Boom run to my side the moment he saw me running through the emergency room and towards the emergency room exit to wait for Jackson and the others.

"26 males, suspected anaphylactic attack due to excessive alcohol intake, prepare for intubation he was reported unconscious two minutes ago." I told Boom and he just stares at me curiously

"No one reported that noona" he scratches his head

"I got the call myself and they are going here privately, make sure to close all curtains later once they arrived. Nothing comes out of this hospital about this guys" I firmly told him

"Who is the patient?"

"It's Mark, go and call doctor Kim, she needs to be here" I instructed and reluctantly left me to inform Doctor Kim.

After a few more seconds, Jackson finally parks in front of me, some of the nurses saw me and rushed to my aid, helping Jackson bring out Mark from the passenger sit.

"Prepare for intubation, his been unconscious for more than four minutes and his breathe is coming short" We rushed Mark inside the room but before I could completely go to Marks side Jackson stops me halfway

"Eunjee, we can't stay here. Some reporters saw us bring Mark inside my car and I had to lose them first before coming here. They know my car if they see it here they might think something bad happened, I still need to bring this two other idiot back home before someone sees them as well." Jackson tell me and I understand how much he wants to be here but if one paparazzi gets to see this they might cause an uproar, especially their fans. They just came back fresh from their tour and I'm pretty sure they are also preparing for their next comeback, bad rumors could run their chances of getting good ratings.

"Go, I can take care of him" I told him and he gave me a reassuring smile

"I owe you one, please take care of him. Call me if you need anything" he tells me and I just responded with a nod. I rushed inside the emergency room and I saw Boom already inserting the tube inside Mark and Doc Kim was already there checking Marks vitals. She saw me as I watch them perform emergency procedures on Mark. She walks near me then hands me Marks files before.

"He is your patient, I'm off home" she tells me but I was about to go against it when she just faces me shutting me up with her finger "Do this for me as a favor, trust me you'll thank me later" she gives me her knowing look then she leaves me after I almost screamed for her teasing me. I was dumbfounded in front of the nurses and my interns that I had to fake a cough to avoid looking at them. He was supposed to be my patient but since Doctor Kim was still their companies private doctor, she should be the one treating him thats why I asked Boom to call her so she could deal with this but no, she decides that she wants to play a freakin cupid instead of her job.

"How is his breathing?" I gave Marks files to Boom and examined him using my stet.

"He doesn't look like someone who'd go drinking without caution. We can remove his tube later and he is still breathing fine because of the tube, until he regains consciousness, the tube should stay attached" Boom tells me and I just nod, I do trust his judgement cause he is like my disciple, he knows exactly what I would do and the countermeasures I'll take if my plan doesn't work.

"Hydrate him completely, his body caused him to shut down, his not allergic to liquor, he just drank a lot to the point that his body can't take in anymore. Get him to one of our private rooms. I'll check on him later, also do some thorough checking, tell me if the results are out" I instructed Boom and he follows. I left Mark for a second to do some of my rounds since he looks alright now that he is able to breathe plus he just really need some goodnight sleep. I bet his body was too exhausted to even withstand the attacks of alcohol inside his body. What made him drink that much?

After I was done doing my rounds, Boom calls for me and hands me Marks lab results, his alcohol content levels are high, well that's not something abnormal, judging by how knocked out he is, it's pretty obvious he drank too much, I analyzed his other results and so far some of them are in between levels so he is still in good shape. I gave Boom Marks chart and walked towards the private rooms to Marks room.

Boom and I entered Marks room and he was lying still only the machine connected to him were making sound.

"Lets take out his tube, he can breathe on his own now" I instructed Boom and he follows my command, he helps me remove the tube and after the tube was out, Mark coughs hard but after a series of coughing he settles down and falls back to sleep.

"I should go Doc, call me if you need something" Boom informs me, then leaves me behind. I watch Mark sleep like some creep, I walked to his side and pulled his cover closer to his body so he won't get so cold, for some reason watching his silent snores calms me down. I decided to call Jackson and inform him that his friend was fine after all. After a few rings he answers

"Eunjee!!!" Jackson hurriedly answered, he was breathing hard as if he was running from something.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Is Mark alright?" I heard rustling from the other line and next was a bunch of guys screaming at the background.

"Jackson, is that Eunjee?!" I heard Bambam asking next was some groaning sound that got me shocked.

"Yah!! I'm fine...leave me. I want to snuggle with mr.Bunny" I heard Jb's drunk voice

"Really! mr. bunny!" I exclaimed

"Yeah! He seems like some strong father in front of the cameras but when his alone like this, Jb the macho man becomes Jb the sweet bunny hugger." Jackson laughs

"Well, you seem busy with the new kid you have so I won't talk long. Marks fine, he is still sleeping like a pig and I might release him tomorrow once he wakes up."

"Are you sure you don't want to keep him for awhile? I mean you can still have him if you want, I won't mind giving him to you permanently" Jackson teases so I rolled my eyes

"Are you sure you don't want me to cut off your tongue?"

"Why are you so evil, you should be glad I'm still shipping Marjee after all this time" and now his making ship names.

"Remind me why am I even friends with you? Like you seriously annoy the shit out of me!" I told Jackson and all I can hear from him was his crazy laugh.

"Your aggravating Eunjee again. Mark is going to kill you" I heard Jinyoungs voice warning Jackson.

"Whatever, anyways Eunjee make sure that when he wakes up, you tell her yourself to stop drinking so much. If he wants to share something he can do that without drinking too much. It needs to come from you or he'll never listen." Jackson instructs while I hear simultaneous loud screams and laughs at the phones background

I didn't get to say my goodbyes because the line suddenly went dead and it looks like my phone ran out of battery, I forgot to plug it in while I was home because I was too busy messing with Anne. I grabbed Marks phone and texted Jackson through his phone and decided to leave Mark for awhile to charge my phone.

//MARK

I woke up from the ray of lights shining through the window at my side, I looked at my surroundings with blurry sight and "This is not my room" I blurted out then I hear the door from somewhere closes.

"I see your awake" I know that voice but my head was throbbing with pain that all i could come up with was a groan. "Must be one hell of a headache your experiencing there buddy, here drink this first" The person gives me something to drink and I didn't bother checking what it was all I want was the pain to go away "You should really start drinking less than what you can handle" the person told me.

I tried closing and opening my eyes to adjust to the light inside my room and after few seconds, everything was clear. I was not in my room and the person beside me is definitely someone I didn't expect to see.

"Eunjee?" I looked at her with questions in my eyes

"You collapsed last night because you drank too much, your body needs to compensate, so it made you collapse so you could actually rest and stop killing yourself with the amount of alcohol you took in" she explains but I wasn't trying to kill myself. I massaged my head then I noticed that she was dressed in her scrubs and she was massaging her neck as well.

"Were you on duty last night?" I asked and she nods "you should rest, you look really tired" I told her but she shakes her head. She grabs the containers beside her and walks to the adjustable overbred table and pushes it in front of me.

"You need to eat, I bought some food, I didn't know what you would like but this soup will definitely help you with your hangover" she places the container in front of me and she also gives me my spoon and fork, she also helps me open my disposable chopsticks and opens the lid of my water. "Eat while its hot" she instructs and I just bowed my head and listened to her instructions. She flops to the chair next to me and open her own food.

"Thanks" I shyly told her and she just nods awkwardly. We both ate in silence only the sound of food being munched can be heard, though she wasn't lying when she told me that this soup helps with my hangover, it somehow tamed the throbbing pain in my head, the medicine she gave me must have helped too. She was eating her owfood silently, also eyeing me from time to time, checking if I was eating everything.

"So I was wondering? Why did you drink that much?" She starts and she looks really interested as to why I did get drunk. Should I even tell her that it's actually because of her that's why I wanted to get drunk? She might just tell me to forget everything then I'll be just broken hearted again. But if I don't tell her the real reason then she will never know what my true feelings are.

She keeps looking at me waiting for my answer and so I sighed and faced her "I didn't want to get so drunk, I only wanted to numb my heart because its the one killing me. I couldn't sleep without feeling discomfort, I couldn't focus during practice and sometimes I just snap at the guys and it's hard. All I could think about is you and the last time we talked, you told me to forget about what you said but I can't, it's all I've been thinking about Eunjee and I'm sorry that I can't deny what I feel anymore." Eunjee was looking at me with tears brimming in her eyes "I know that we are both done and I know that this was all for the best but I can't just stop my feelings for you. I thought I did but I still love you Eunjee, after all this time, I still fall for you." I sincerely told her,maybe this is the work of all the alcohol I drank last night, it is making me strong and honest with my feelings.

Eunjee kept quiet while she studies me, she wipes the tear that escaped her lids and it crashes me seeing her like this "Please say something, I don't expect you to feel the same, just please say something"

"Thank you" she silently tell me and I was looking at her with confusion written in my face. Why is she thanking me? "And I'm sorry" she continues "I know you still need to know the truth. I also know that what I did was really unfair on your part, and yet you still gave way and gave me what I needed. I'm sorry for making you suffer, I don't deserve you Mark but I really really do love you" she start crying and hearing her being honest in front of me, all I want to do is reach for her and hug her tight but I don't think she'd appreciate that so I just watch her as she keeps sobbing in front of me "The day you left and the letter you wrote for me, it broke me Mark, I wanted to chase you, I wanted to turn back time and fight for you and I'm so sorry for saying this but I still think that when we broke up it was the right decision and you living and me not being able to chase you, was really for the best. I learned a lot of things about myself and i've seen how you've changed a lot as well. We became two separate new people and it's just amazing. That's why I'm scared, I'm scared of admitting how much I want to come back to you because I don't want to break you, I don't want us to repeat the same mistakes we did." Eunjee walks towards me then she start tracing my cheeks "But after hearing everything that you said, I realized that I was being selfish to you and to myself. I'm sorry for not thinking about your feelings and for causing this too much drama between us. I'm sorry for ruining every single chances we get" she tears up more and I was losing all my control so held her hand and pulls her to me hugging her tight while she keeps crying.

"Stop saying sorry, please" I begged her, she didn't really do anything she meant, she only wanted to protect me.

"How can you still care for me so much after all this time?" Eunjee sobs

I loosened my arms around her and she looks at me with curiosity in her eyes.

"It's because I love you, no other reason but that" she starts tearing up again

"I love you too" she slowly hugs me and I hugged her back with content in my heart and a forming smile on my face.

"When did you become such a crybaby?" I teased her after awhile and she starts hitting me lightly "yah! I'm still sick you know" she rolls her eyes then wipes her eyes with her hands.

"This is going to be the last time you're going to see me cry" she pouts at me but I just love teasing her because she looks really cute.

"I don't think this is going to be the last time though" I told her the she start hitting me again

"yah!! Are you planning to hurt me?" She rants and I was just laughing by how she looks right now. She keeps hitting me but I grabbed both her hands and looked at her

"I am planning to make you happy forever to the point where all you can do aside from smiling is crying" I kissed her nose lightly and I could see how much my words affects her, her cheeks and nose are like tomato and it's so cute.

I leaned forward to her and she started closing her eyes, for the first time again after all this months of loneliness I can finally feel happiness.
