"Hmm..." Yoo Na hmms as she slowly found her getting conscious of her surrounding, she felt the want to stretch herself and she does stretch her hands' wide grumbling with eyes shut but she yelps when her swollen bruise on her stomach gets stretched.
She groans as the thunder blast out loud making her flinch, her sleep being stirred up with the loud thunders and the mild lightning.
"Ahh..." She whines curling up, she brings her hands to her bruise and she caresses it with her eyes slowly opening, blinking a few times she found dark. She moves her head around to see everywhere it was dark, she found herself trembling.
"U-Uh... J-Jin..." She stutters out her words but it never came out loud but just a whisper, she felt her breathing getting harsh and difficult. She found her eyes getting heavy with tears, she gulps stretching her shaking arms across the bed.
"L-Light...ugh... b-brother...!" She yells and by now her tears were erupting out of her closed eyes, her breathing was getting ragged and it felt suffocating. She tries moving around and her hands fidgeting with the things kept on the nightstand.
Her trembling lips were letting out shaky sobs as she struggled hard to find the light switch, her mind felt vacant and she felt so lost. She couldn't remember where the light switch was, she chokes on her tears. Despite the lightning occasionally lighting up the room even for a mere second she couldn't recognize the things.
She hits her chest when she felt it hard breathing and her chest as if it was contracting, she clutches something against the nightstand but with her shaky hands, things start falling down abruptly. And the pain and stings she felt didn't help either and she was now crying as if this was her end.
"J-JIN!! Ah... B-BROTHER!!!!" Yoo Na yells getting scared, she wanted to run out of the door but with the darkness, she felt as if she was in an endless pool filled with darkness and if she even tried she would reach nowhere.
Some shuffling and running sound could be heard from out of the door but she couldn't figure out where the door was. She tries to move around but she slips out of the bed landing down on the floor against her back, she hits her head hard and she couldn't just feel anything.
The stiffness and uncomfortable feeling settled within her chest, she felt as if she was getting drown in the darkness. Just then the door opens wide with a loud thud with Jin running towards her, "Auntie!! Hurry up! Yoo Na-ah!!" Jin calls out for her but seeing a dark shadow on the ground had him scared.
"Y-Yoo... Na..." Jin mumbles as he slowly walks towards her, "J-Jin..." She slowly mumbles as tears kept flowing down her eyes getting heavier every passing second. He runs towards her the moment he heard her calling out for him.
He collapses down on the floor with his arms wrapping around her, she whimpers feeling content at the touch, she wanted to say how safe she felt but she couldn't mutter out a word. "It's okay. Brother is here bear. Just close your eyes and wait. " He says caressing her hair as he hides her face into his chest.
"Y-Yoo... Na. " Suddenly another pair of voices was heard making her frown but she had not much of energy to notice that familiar voice, "Bring the lights!" Jin yells still caressing her hair as Yoo Na takes a few deep breaths with her panic subsiding.
"Jin, here. " The old woman runs into the room with a number of candles and one candle with a burning flame, "Miss help me light the room. " The old woman says eyeing the girl who nods her head despite the darkness.
Then some other maids ran inside helping the two ladies light up the room, "Are you good now?" Jin questions caressing her head while Yoo Na slowly nods her head clutching her fist tight against his shirt, he sighs packing the top of her head, and doing his best to calm her down.
"It's raining heavily outside and because of it, the power's shut down. It's okay, bear. " Jin says hugging her close to him, how scared he got with the sudden yelling of her and that to call out for him with her voice laced with fear.
He knew he shouldn't have left her alone in the room but he didn't expect her to wake up so suddenly after she slept like a dead log the whole day.
"B-Brother... I-I..." Yoo Na trails on her words while Jin eyes the maids to leave them alone, as everyone was done with lightening up the room they nod their heads leaving the room silently. While Bo Ra frowns with concerned eyes staring at them.
She stands there silently, "It's okay, bear. Brother will not leave you alone. " He says caressing her back and hugging her close as Yoo Na begins crying, "I s-saw... them. " Yoo Na mumbles gripping him tight.
"I-It's okay. " Jin mumbles trying to calm her down but Yoo Na was getting more miserable.
"M-Mom and dad... I s-saw them leave... t-they...uh...ahh..." She halts on her words as she clutched her head hard, with all the crying and the trauma itself had taken a toll on her mind. Jin grows concerned and pulls away caressing her face.
"Hey... do not think about them... I am here with you, hmm. Just do not think and rest. " he mumbles recalling her crying and mumbling in her sleep, Yoo Na nods her head as Jin slowly hoists his arms from under her legs and back, pulls her up, and walks to the bed.
Bo Ra silently watch her with tears, she had never seen Yoo Na so vulnerable, she never knew the strong girl she was was suffering so much and now this state of her was breaking her poor heart.
Bo Ra had come here to look for Yoo Na and seeing that she was sleeping soundly with bandages and bruises all over her body she couldn't make herself disturb her sleep and she decides to stay back and take care of herself. She was glad that she decided to stay back.
Jin covers her with the duvet and pecks her forehead lovingly, "Is my bear, okay?" He questions when her sniffs were heard after her cries died down, "Yeah. I got scared..." Yoo Na mumbles raising her hand and holding onto him, "Do not leave me... " She begs, looking at him with her red teary eyes.
Jin chuckles grabbing her hand, "I, unfortunately, cannot be here for today..." Jin says flashing his sweet smile, Yoo Na frowns as her grip tightens making him chuckle. He grabs her hand and caresses it, "You have someone to look after you for today. " He says making her frown in confusion.
"Who-"
"Yoo Na-ahh~!" Yoo Na gasps with her eyes wide open as she heard a familiar voice crying out her name, Jin leans towards the opposite side giving Yoo Na the clear sight of her best friend bawling her eyes out seeing her suffering, Yoo Na gulps feeling cornered. She didn't want her one and only best friend to know how vulnerable she was.
Bo Ra slowly makes her way towards her, Yoo Na felt her heart heavy but seeing Bo Ra crying for her made her emotional with tear beads forming once again. Jin chuckles, "She insisted on staying with you for tonight... I tried hard to send her off. " Jin says throwing his hands up in the air with a shrug.
And Bo Ra kneels down on the floor by the bed hugging her as she cries painfully making Yoo Na cry as well,
"No...one had ever cried for me. "
