55 Her Story: END (1/2)
Ha Eun opened her eyes and realized she was in a hospital room. She had a mask over her face and an IV drip on her arm. Light was coming in from the window, next to her. She wondered if what happened to her was just a dream. She could have sworn she died.
She turned her head to the side and saw Woo Yeon sleeping on the chair next to her bed.
”Woo Yeon” Ha Eun said in a whisper. Woo Yeon slowly opened his eyes, then looked over at her. A smile appeared on his face.
”Ha Eun, you are awake, right?” he asked her ”Do you know me? Do you know who I am?” his eyes started to water. Ha Eun smiled which let him know that she remembered him. He smiled back and kissed her on the forehead. He started to caress her cheeks and pass his hands through her hair.
”I'm so glad you're okay” he said with a smile.
Ha Eun was happy by his expression. Is this what it's like to be loved? This is the expression of someone that truly loves her, right?
Woo Yeon grabbed her hand, kissed it and told her ”I'm going to go get the doctor” he said. Ha Eun though, looked at his hands. They were dirty and scratched. She looked at his face, he had a band-aid on his chin. As he walked away towards the door, she noticed how his pants and the cuffs of his long sleeved shirt were wrinkled, compared to the rest of his well pressed clothes.
When the doctor came in, so did Mr. Oh and Woo Yeon.
”You are very luck little miss. If it wasn't for Woo Yeon here, you wouldn't be here with us” the doctor said.
”Oh, thank goodness you're all right” Mr. Oh said as he went in for a hug. Woo Yeon went to grab her hand but Ha Eun quickly moved it towards her legs.
”It's not possible” she said to herself ”It's not possible, right?” Ha Eun didn't want to believe Woo Yeon would do something like that but all the signs were there.
”Seriously, jumping into a pond, at night, with no supervision. You're alright but I'm still worried” Mr. Oh said.
”They think I jumped in?” Ha Eun asked herself. She wanted to tell them that someone pushed her in and was trying to kill her but it was dark, the police would just assume she was hallucinating and not look into it.
Ha Eun wanted to speak alone with Mr. Oh but all she could say was ”Alone…Mr. Oh”
Although it was just two words, they all understood perfectly. Once the two were alone Ha Eun said ”School…far…now…”
It didn't make much sense to Mr. Oh. She wanted to go back to school, right after waking up in a hospital?
”You just woke up. I don't think you should be thinking about going back to school” Mr. Oh told her. Ha Eun grabbed his hand.
”I want…far away…please” she said. Mr. Oh started to piece things together. She wanted to live far away, not just a boarding school. She wanted to live farther. Mr. Oh didn't know what brought up this sudden urge to move far away but it was what she wanted, and he didn't want to press her to answer why.
”Ok. First get better. Then, you can go wherever you want” he told her.
After a few days, she could speak normally and stand properly. While Mr. Oh was watching the news, Ha Eun sat next to him. They suddenly started to talk about OG Group and their rise in the stock market. She got to learn a bit about the company thanks to the news report. She started to wonder if she would later become the CEO of OG Group seeing as she is his daughter, but of course there is Ji Seok and Ji Su. Any of them could be CEO.
