(YOONGI'S POV)
I was neither in a well-off family nor where the family members would support and love each other. My parents always fought each other, blaming each other for the miserable life. I was the youngest with two brothers and one sister . They were in their own world ,did not had any effect of the constant fights among parents. I was always scolded for even small mistakes. I understand that I was not so good in studied , but insulting, comparing, judging all that took a toll on my mind. I started to take care of my own expenses by delivering foods. It was a tiring job ,because one after other there was delivery order given and most of my time was invested in the job. At night time while doing a night shift at a shopping mall I did my studies . I was successfully paying my own school fees ,so parents stopped nagging at me and we rarely met each other. Just because I was able to take care of myself ,they neglect me and don't even ask about how I was doing. Are they selfish and acting like immature or am I just asking too much for myself ?
My usual stressful days were going on when a call came from an unknown number.
"Hello, who is this ?" I asked the unknown person.
" Hello, I am from Kindred Hospital Center. Is this Min Yoongi who i am talking to?" asked a lady voice from other side.
"Yes, what can I do for you? "asked Yoongi being polite to lady while mentally cursing that it should have been a man currently talking on phone ,then the mood would have been totally different.
"Your father is in critical condition, your whole family is here. Its better if you come" Said the lady which is probably the nurse at Kindred Hospital centre.
Yoongi cut the call, dialled to his boss, told the situation and closing the mall rushed to Kindred Hospital centre.
At Kindred Hospital centre,
" Yoongi-ah your appa he..he is beaten very badly. Please check if he is okay. These good for nothing children tells that he will be okay. " Said yoongi's mom while pointing at his older siblings .
"Mom is just making a fuzz. Dad will be fine. Some people beat him in the streets. He will be fine after treatment" Said the eldest brother.
Just as I was about to say something the doctor came after checking. I taking the initiative asked my father's condition.
" He has a few cuts and some severe swelling in the lower sides of abdomen. His knee on right leg is severely bruised. But the main problem is that he was hit on his head and so there is internal bleeding and he needs to undergo a surgery that might cost you a fortune. "Said the doctor .
"How-how much it costs for the surgery?" i asked getting worried by each passing second.
" That would cost you exactly 3600 USD." Said the doctor.
My mom got in a trance state. I was worried as how will I earn that much amount in such a short time. My other siblings too were shocked and to think that they will help me, well I had very less hope from them.
"Mom,did you know who had beaten dad, we can get some compensation for government for an act of assault "Said the oldest sister.
And what can I expect more than a prosecutor. Well it was not a bad idea after all.
"The one who beat your father...the one who trued to kill him...was a loan shark leader." Said my mom crying hysterically .
That made all others frozen in place. Such a person won't beat unless there is something of that person that you have . I took deep breaths and sat next to my mom.
"How much?" I asked.
My mom looked at me , clutched her dress tightly and took out a piece of paper from her bag.
It was the agreement paper signed between my father- borrower and the lender named Geon-u who is the leader . The sum given to my father was 10000 USD dollars!!!
" Mom, you did not spent all the money right? You saved some ,right? "asked my brother after seeing the agreement.
" We had to renovate our whole restaurant, so we used up all the money. We thought that we will make the money as our new modern restaurant will attract and we did ,we did collect the money but the amount was not exact and we requested time but they refused to give any extra time. They harassed us each day asking for the rest of money but we were not able to collect money . How were we able to when they only gave ten days to earn half of the amount they loaned us. And so the harassment went on and then today they did this ,what to do? "cried my mom.
"We can put charges against the people. I think we can take a refund right, sister?" asked the second sister.
"After listening not even 50% sure" sighed the eldest.
"Why? "Said my second brother in desperation.
"Because we have not paid the loan in the due date so we won't be able to obtain the money instead we may have to give money for applying the case in court "Said the eldest sister.
"Can you please operate on my father now. I am ready to sign an agreement that I will pay the hospital fees within 5 days " I said looking at the doctor who just came after checking his other patients.
"I will have to talk about that with the chief. I will give a reply in minutes. Can you give me your number? "said the doctor politely
"Thank you very much " i said while bowing a little.
" In FIVE days ,are you crazy? What were you thinking?" Said my elder brother.
" I have my own ways. So if you are not going to help ,then don't get in my way" said Yoongi.
"Brother,...you have changed a lot !" Said the eldest sister.
"All thanks to you" I said sarcastically while bowing a little with a smile.
"I am not joking!!"said my sister getting irritated.
"Neither me.What authority you have to ask me that i have changed. You... All of you never supported me, only compared me with others, criticized me. I always hated mom and dad's fights but you pretended like nothing happened. I was only ten years when due to your fight I got injury on my forehead. Instead of stopping your fight and seeing my condition you scolded me and again fought with dad. You said that he came and noa we would need money for his bandaging. Like a was only a nuisance for you. Others were naturally not, because they would provide money and take care of their own needs. I was not so smart but you never gave me time. "I tooka deep breath after venting my anger and decided it's better to stop there. The doctor came and agreed to my deal. As soon as I signed the paper, I left the place.
