House of cards: Her

11. Accident

(I'll be adding a song to match the plot for each chapter. Please make sure you listen to it 😊)

It was the 3rd month of their marriage when Eunha got into a car crash to safe her husband, Jungkook. The ER team tried their best to save her but due to the huge impact, Eunha's brain had some critical injury that causing her to go into a coma.

Since then, she has been into deep coma for a whole month. Jungkook can't help but not to feel bad about it. He is the one causing his wife to go into coma. If it wasn't for him, then Eunha won't be severely injured.

Jungkook holds his wife's hand dearly.

"My dear, I know you'll miss me, but I'll miss you more." He pat her hair gently. He knows Eunha unable to replied him but he loves to talk to her anyway. He loves to see that there is slight change in her heart beats whenever he had conversations with her.

"I promised that I won't be long. I'll be here as soon as I got off work." He smiles and kiss her forehead.

"I love you." He whispered.

Umji had just arrived from the airport. She rush to the room 130 where Eunha was warded. 'Gosh unnie. I'm sorry for not being there on your wedding day. But I'm more sorry that I can't come to visit you earlier.'

Last year, after her college's graduation day, Umji decided that she'll be staying with both her parents at Japan. The girls tried to stop her but she has already made up her mind and refuse to listen to them. She has been working as a runaway model since. She wanted to return to Korea as soon as possible but due to her hectic schedule and endless runaways, she could only took a flight back yesterday.

She creaks out the door to see a figure that she adores lying on the bed.
"Eunha unnie." She sobs. As the girl didn't respond to her, her sobs become louder.

"Unnie! Wake up!" She cried.

"She can hear what you said. You can see that she's reacting to voice with this." He pointed out to the heart rate machine. Umji just stares at Jungkook pitifully.

"It will rose up and flopped down according to her surrounding." He gladly smile at the latter.

"Oppa." She voiced out.
"Yes?" His eyes are glued on Eunha.

"Unnie will be fine, right?" She looks down.
"Of course." He gave a widest smile he could.

"What about you? Will you be fine?" Tears start rolling on her cheeks.

Jungkook was humming a song to Eunha's ear when Umji, Sinb and Yuju came in. Jungkook stands and greet them happily.

"How are you doing guys?" He smiled. But somehow the girls can see there is pain inside those bright looking eyes.

"Umji wanted to cook something for Eunha but considering she can't eat it, we just made a porridge instead." Yuju said as she served the porridge into a bowl. She put it on Eunha's overbed table.  Jungkook observed on the heart rate machine and smile widely.

"See... She knows you guys are here. Her heart rate rise to 82 beats." Jungkook grins.

"I guess Eunha unnie's sense of smell is still good even though she is in a deep coma." Sinb replied, trying to curve a smile.
"Doctor said that any trigger is good so don't lose hope guys." Yuju added. Umji could only look at Eunha with deep remorse.

"I shouldn't have leave. Maybe this is all because of me." She sobs. The girls pull her into a hug. Jungkook shook his head weakly.

"No, it's not Umji. It's my fault that she turns out like this. I'm the one who is the cause of all this. I constantly nag at her for being a klutz, but the truth is she's the one who always care for me. If only I didn't drink too much with the clients at that time, this won't be happening." He sighs.
"Oppa... Don't do this in front of Eunha unnie." Sinb look at Jungkook.
"It's nobody's fault. Stop blaming yourself guys." She added.
