Jennie's POV-
My eagerness to see Dad increased twice more than before as the flight landed on Incheon Airport.

 I rushed myself out of the airport, found a taxi and went straight to the hospital.

I enquired about my dad at the hospital reception and found his room. He was still under medical observation. I saw my mom seated outside the room trying to hold back her tears as much as possible, she was preparing herself to be brave so that she doesn't break up in front me.
I wiped the tear under my eyes and approached my mom...
"Its all gonna be okay. Dad is fine, He will be as good as before I know it..."
I told my mom with as much assurance I could but deep down even I felt scared, I was terrified even by the thought of living without dad.

Mom hugged me tight as she gathered the courage to speak. Then, she finally spoke....
"He's been unconscious for past 24 hrs, I-I don't know what to do....I told him not take to much stress but just won't listen...."

"Shhh...Mom, I get it....don't worry; this too shall pass."

I looked at mom straight in her eyes and told her to be brave, then I inquired the doctor if I could see dad. The doctor hesitated at first, but agreed later on.

I went in the room, I looked at my dad's face......all the wrinkles he got on his face showed how hard he worked, his face...all pale and silent, I could no longer see him smiling just the pain that he must have gone through handling all the work all by himself, taking painkillers to meet the unnecessary demands of ours..

Even at this moment, instead of being strong...look at me, am here. Crying, weeping....I wish you had a son, dad! He would have been less of an burden on you!!

I hold my dad's cold hand tightly, and wished for him to be alright. I placed my head on the bed beside him....

"Remember, when I was young...you told me if I had any problem...I would just have to call you out and you would fulfill all my wishes and take all my problems away....Well, I need you now, Dad! Please! Please be okay, now is not the time...."

I kept mummering to myself....
"now is not the time..."
"now is not the time..."

But then, suddenly I had a moment of realisation, what would a son do in my place here?
would he just sit and cry? or would he look after the business and hope for his dad's safe recovery?

That's it! I wiped the tears off my face and turned to dad.

"This time I will be the one to take your problems away....don't worry dad! I am there now, I will be a better daughter now..."

I patted dad's head lovingly and kissed his forehead before I left the room.

I got out of the room picking up my coat.

"Mr.Kim! No time to cry now, I will be leading the company from tomorrow..make sure to get all the documents in place."
"Mom, don't worry your daughter is here to handle it all, for now, go home and rest. I don't want my only support system to get ill as well:)"

I smiled at her, and stood her up from the chair.

Then, I put her in the car...
"Take her home and call me once you reach home." I closed the gate as I instructed the driver.

"Mr. Kim ( Dad's secretary) Take me to dad's study room, I need to see what is happening with the company..."

We reach dad's office where Mr.Kim updates me with the company's situation and briefs me about the current scenario.

"So one of our Bands is in America, shooting an advertisement.....is that right?"
"Yes maam, the leader of the group once had a contract with MOVE ENTERTAINMENT that is currently owned by Lee Suho, leader's high school friend."
"So what made him switch to our company? I mean MOVE ENTERTAINMENT IS one of the top entertainment companies too..."
"Maam our company approached him, when the leader made the announcement to go solo. Our company proposed him to be a solo artist but then CEO somehow convinced that a band would be better and that he should debut as WE4...."
"WE4?! Did you say WE4? (DID HE JUST SAY WE4?!?)"
"yes maam....any problem?"
"Nope, nothing I just worked with them for the ad shoot that they are currently working on..."
"Great maam! the band has been receiving a lot of attention recently, we are planning to host a variety show for them as well...."

Wow! why doesn't WE4 leave me alone?

"Uhm...ok lets look into that once the band is here, meanwhile update me on other sectors...."


I had been sitting with Mr.Kim for past 7 hours now, trying to grasp as much as I could about the company.

"Mr.Kim, I will study these up, you may leave for home and meet me tomorrow at office.."
"No, It's ok maam I can stay...."
"Ah no no, you must be tired, besides I need to stay if you stay but I am also going home;)"

I got up from my chair, picked the papers and my coat and left with Mr.Kim.

"Goodnight Mr.Kim!" I said smiling (God! I was tired)
"Goodnight Miss."

I sighed as I saw Mr.Kim leaving, then I got into the company's car that Mr.Kim had earlier given me and drove to the hospital.

On my way, I bought a pot of Bright and cheery daisy flowers which were perfect to indicate the 'Get Well Soon' message to dad and that we were...at least I was desperately in need of his ever so bright, encouraging smile.

I reached the hospital room, kept the pot by the window and sat beside my dad.

I looked at him for 10 mins or so when the doctor entered to check him.

"What's the status of his health doctor?"
"Well his body is doing well, responding to the medicines well, but what worries me is that he is still not conscious....what I mean to say is, that cases like this are very rare where the patient remains unconscious for so long, but all we can do is....WAIT"
"Don't lose hope. He really needs your hopes and prayers right now," The doctor added looking at dad.

[an hour later]

I felt someone patting me.

"Hey...are you okay?"

I woke up as the young nurse tried to enquire me if I was fine, I had fallen asleep beside dad.....

"Haha, I think you should go home, its ok, we are here to take care of him...besides you seem to have a lot of homework left to do..." the nurse added as she glanced at the papers lying beside my purse.

"Ah yah I guess..." I said rubbing my head.
"Thank you for your concern!" I bowed down to the nurse in gratitude and left the room.

I drove to my parents house, and checked on mom.

She was devastated, so I decided to stay there for a few days, besides I had a room in my parents house so staying there wasn't a problem.

I told the driver to take my suitcase from the car to my room and went to mom to feed her dinner which she refused to eat.

"Ah, its funny when you need to convince your parents to eat as if they were your kids, all seems so emotional and surreal, it feels like as if time has been reversed but with different characters in play...what an weird Deja vu!"

After changing into comfortable clothes and putting mom to bed, I sat down to go through the papers I had carried home...I was going through them and didn't realise when I went to sleep......
