Reborn: The Unexpected Twist

"No, Jinhee, I can do that. After all, I am Min Hyunbin, and that's why, if you want to meet him, make sure to have your meals properly," Hyunbin vocalised.

Lee Jinhee knew that Hyunbin was saying this words for her own good. Nonetheless, she could find herself growing aggravated. The thought of not seeing Taehyun was enough to make her feel in this way.

"I will be meeting him! You can't stop me from doing so, Min Hyunbin," Jinhee vocalised as her eyes glared at Hyunbin.

Shrugging his shoulders, Hyunbin said, "That anger will do you no benefit, and you can meet him but only after you finish everything before you, Jinhee. 

Do you want him to wake up to only see that you are the one who is dead? Think properly, Lee Jinhee, and maintain your sanity. You are acting as if Han Taehyun is dead when he is clearly alive."

Looking down at the table, Jinhee became silent; she had no retort to those words of Min Hyunbin.

He then added, "You got into a fight with Min Haeun when she mentioned on how Taehyun should die, but this entire time, did you ever consider himself to be alive? 

Although the doctor had not mentioned on how Taehyun had no chances on waking up, you have already concluded inside your mind on how he is dead."

Those words of Min Hyunbin struck at her sore point, and she was well aware of how those words of Hyunbin was merely the truth, causing her to become unable to voice out any retort.

Tears formed at the corner of her eyes. Even though she was very much aware of how Han Taehyun was alive, she was frightened and wanted to look at the worst possibility.

"If you don't want Han Taehyun to think that he was in coma for no reason, eat up, Lee Jinhee," he voiced out.

Lee Jinhee let out a sigh.

°°°

Sitting beside Han Taehyun, a despondent smile sat on Jinhee's face, and her eyes glistened due to the tears that has acc.u.mulated there. Nonetheless, she did not allow them to fall down her cheeks.

Holding his hand tightly with the intent that it will be passing some warmth to the man, Jinhee voiced out, "Do you know what? I have had a full meal after such a long time. It was difficult for me to eat it, and it was only because of Min Hyunbin's threatening I was able to do so.

Do you know that Hyunbin had grown to become more mature? He scolded me a lot today for neglecting my health and told me on how you will be unhappy if you wake up to see an unhealthy me.

Even though it is tough, I will make sure to keep myself alive. After all, I do want to see you wake up. One more thing had happened to me today.

Haeun, from our class, said on how will not be ever waking up, and hearing that, I have become very much angered. Before I was able to control myself, I found myself beating her up.

One of the teachers caught us, and guess what, I am suspended from school for some days. I can come and visit you more now. School is not fun without you, and please wake up within these days. I want to go back to attending school with you.

Remember how you used to tease me on how I was too serious about studying; I am sad to say that side of mine is gone. Without you being beside me, I don't even like studying anymore."

Seeing that Han Taehyun was showing no response to those words of hers, tears fell down her eyes, and she voiced out, "Han Taehyun, are you even listening to those words of mine. Please, please, show me some kind of response if you are listening to these words of mine. That would be great. Now, I am just scared and losing hope."

Seeing that was no whatsoever response from Han Taehyun after she had said those words, Jinhee let out a sigh and looked at floor.

"Was I hoping for too much?" Jinhee questioned as her eyebrows were furrowed.

Before Lee Jinhee could say more words to Han Taehyun, she heard the door behind her open, and turning her head back, she noticed that Han Jihye had entered into the room.

"Jinhee Dear, you are here again," Jihye voiced out.

Over this month, Jihye's state had become worse as well. Han Jihye had lost couple of weight and looked exhausted. Nevertheless, until this moment, Jinhee did not find Jihye being annoyed at her. She wondered whether or not the woman before her was a human.

Lee Jinhee nodded and vocalised, "I will be going out then."

Understanding that Han Jihye will want to spend some time with Taehyun as well, she stood up from her place and walked towards the direction of the door.

Before she could leave the room, she felt Jihye place their palm on top of her shoulder, stopping her from leaving, and turning her head back, she gave Jihye a confused stare.

"Jinhee Dear, I have heard about what had happened, and I know about how you are a well-mannered girl. Please do not destroy yourself over Taehyun. He would not want that to happen," Jihye vocalised.

It must have taken Han Jihye a huge amount of courage to voice out those words to her. Nevertheless, those words were something Jinhee heard on a regular basis, and although they were the truth, she could not find herself following it.

"I know that, Jihye-ssi, but I don't think I can ever be normal again until or unless Han Taehyun wakes up," Jinhee said as she looked down at the ground.

"You can be, Jinhee Dear. Just keep on trying," Jihye vocalised, "And spend much less time in the hospital. It is not healthy for you, and go out more often. You will feel better then."
