Love That Monsta HXTER (ENGLISH VERSION) [2nd Tome]

Chapter 30 [END] (Version 2)

*POV of Jooheon*

This hospital reminded me of the bad memories of my last stay. The smell made me want to vomit. Not just the smell actually.

I saw the doctor walking towards us. He shook his head and beckoned us to the place where Ha Neul was laying.

I sat next to her on the bed. In vain, I shook her, told her to open her eyes, to wake up, she was completely inert. Why should she suffer by my fault? What had taken her to throw herself in front of me like that? I didn't deserve it after what I made her endure.

I kept shaking her body, shouting to her to wake up, that her life was far to be over.

Doctor: Sir, stop shaking her like that please, she's under anesthesia. If you go on, you're going to make her suffer much worse than now. She should wake up in the next hour, if not a bit after.

Me: Oh... sorry.

Doctor: She's very lucky to be alive. Fortunately, no damage has been done to her organs which is rather miraculous. We removed the bullet during the surgery.

Minhyuk: Surgery?

Doctor: Yes. Of course, her organs were alright, but it was necessary to retrace the path of the bullet to see if there was anything else possibly damaged. There were some tissues and other little minor things to take care of, but otherwise she's fine.

Hyungwon: So her life is not in danger?

Doctor: No, everything is fine. I'll leave you with her and I'll come back later. A nurse may come to visit her in the meantime to see if everything is under control.

We nodded as we watched him leave.

Shownu: What a relief.

Kihyun: We were on the verge of losing her.

When she awoke, the guys had already left. I.M wanted to stay, but I promised him to take care of her when she would wake up, that he didn't have to worry.

Her eyes opened slowly and despite the mist that seemed to invade her head, she recognized my face and a smile appeared from then on her sweet lips.

I approached her and put my forehead against hers.

Me (whispering): I missed you.

She let out a sob.

Me: I'm sorry. I was so afraid of losing you.

I drew closer so I could take her in my arms without her having to move.

Me: I'm here, everything is okay. I won't ever let you leave me.

For once, the roles had reversed. I was the one who had to reassure her and not the other way around.

His father arrived an hour later. He excused himself by explaining that he had a meeting and that his telephone was off. After the doctor had explained the story to him in the corridor, he returned to the room with a relieved but worried expression.

Ha Neul's father (when Ha Neul had just fallen asleep): So that's how much she loves you.

Me: I'm sorry sir, it's my fault. She was involved in my past without even really knowing it. I didn't imagine for a moment that this kind of thing could happen.

Father of Ha Neul: Don't put it on your back. This time it was your ex, but it could've been a degenerate fan or something else. You can't control this kind of thing so please, stop tormenting yourself with this.

Me: I will accept the marriage sir.

I was doing what Ha Neul had done when I was resting on a hospital bed, asleep. That made me sick. But since Ha Neul agreed, I didn't see the problem in doing that now.

Ha Neul's father: But stop calling me "sir". I am not yet an old man.

Me: Oh sorry.

He laughed softly.

Ha Neul's father: If that is what you really want both, then I have no complaints.

After Ha Neul's got out of the hospital, we both followed therapy on our own. Ha Neul really needed it due to the shock of the event. After two months, she stopped. I always admired how she always rolled into life and stood up proudly every time she fell. I did the therapy for almost seven months. At least now, I feel stronger and closer than ever to life.

-----------------------------

Priest: Lee Joo Heon, will you take Choi Ha Neul as your lawfully wedded wife?

I stared at her eyes shining with joy. To say that a year earlier, I had almost lost the love of my life because of my ex. She had been interned in a psychiatric hospital not long ago, after her trial had finally ended. She will no longer be able to break the love that holds us, Ha Neul and me.

I watched her long curly hair falling in a wave behind her head, adorned with a beautiful white lace veil. I had the impression of dreaming.

Me: Yes, I do.

Priest: Choi Ha Neul, will you take Lee Joo Heon as your lawfully wedded husband?

I saw a radiant smile on her pretty face. That kind of smile that we can't suppress.

Ha Neul: Yes, I do.

The priest turned to me.

Priest: You can now kiss the bride.

Applause came from everywhere before us. There were not many people. We would get married, as my mother would say, "under the table" (this is a French expression, I really don't know if it can be said in English too), which meant that very few people would know about our union and that when we return to our normal lives, only our families and our agency would know that we are married. Other than us. Which I thought was even more awesome.

Since I left the hospital, Ha Neul's group had made its comeback and was preparing the third. Also, Monsta X was currently preparing its fifth comeback. And when it's time, we will found a family and live a happily ever after (yes, as much as it may seem).

As I put my lips on Ha Neul's to seal our love in front of the audience, the only thing I could think of was how happy I was to be with her.
