Avoiding The Male Lead-2

242

Sannie had been clinging to Jungkook since he was very young. No matter whether he was drinking his milk or sleeping, he would cry as long as Jungkook wasn’t the one helping him with his needs. But if Jungkook were to walk over while he was crying and reach out to hold him, he wouldn’t even need to say anything. Just one look and the baby will stop immediately. He would even wave his small little hands, smiling happily.

The elders said that this child was very smart. He was able to recognize faces already at such a young age.

Jungkook thought so as well. How could their child not be smart?

On the day the child reached one month old, Ji Eun died in prison.

The cause of death was suicide.

When Jungkook’s friend told him the news, Jungkook was silent.

“How could she choose to end her life at this time? I seriously don’t get it.”

But Jungkook didn’t tell him that she must have wanted to leave this “false world” since her wish had come true anyway. Xin Lisa won’t ever wake up again.

But Ji Eun was dead.

And the world continued running as usual.

Their days still had to go on.

Jungkook seemed to have gotten used to his life of watching over Xin Lisa while raising their child.

He accepted the fact that he had no idea when he was going to wake up and began slowly reverting back to his old self.

During the day, he donned a suit and went to work.

At night, he would accompany her and the child.

Jeon Jeonsan really was a smart child. He learned much faster than any other kid. But of course, he was also very naughty. Ever since learning to turn over, it would spend the whole night awake, tossing and turning in his own crib, having the time of his life.

During the three months that Xin Lisa was asleep, she never went a day without visitors.

Mao Minguu watched with his own eyes how Jungkook thinned with each day. He hoped every single time that he came to the hospital that the lifeless Xin Lisa could sit up to scold him. At the very least, it was better than nothing.

But there was much he wanted to say to Jungkook. But when he saw him, he didn’t know where to start.

Should he persuade him to stop waiting for her? That’s too cruel.

Should he tell him to leave his days well? Too weak.

Mao Mingyu believed that the only thing he could contribute was to support him silently at the side.

Zhuang Zhe visited the hospital often as well. Only, he had also been getting a little anxious lately.

One time after he finished playing with Jeon Jeonsan, he said to Jungkook with a smile, “Your son is a delight, makes me want a baby of my own! Only, I wonder where the mother of the child is? We’re truly brothers in pain aren’t we, Jungkook?”

Zhong Qin and Gu Sana who was just about to enter the room looked at each other for a moment, but neither of them said anything.

THeir own best friend had mysteriously fallen into a coma. From being unable to accept this fact, they had now given up hope.

By now, hope had become a faraway thing.

Whether or not Xin Lisa would be able to wake up, they no longer knew. They figured that if she didn’t wake up, then they would run out of strength and courage to hold on.

Only Jungkook always believed that she would definitely wake up.

On this weekend, he filled up a basin of warm water to help her wipe her face and hands.

The sun was glowing brightly.

As Jungkook wiped her fingers skillfully, he said, “The weather is wonderful today. Mom brought Sannie back home to see Grandpa. It feels really quiet without him around. It would be nice if you could talk to me at a time like this. Honey, I know you’ll wake up so I’ll keep waiting. I’ll wait for the day you wake up again.”

Jungkokk continued to tell her many things. By the time he was done and went up to pour out the water, he did not realize that as the winds blew the curtains over the bed, the fingers of the person who had been lying quietly on the bed moved ever so slightly.
