Chapter 25

Last Breath

I'm so depressed and devastated and frustrated, ALL KINDS OF FEELINGS ARE BEING MIXED UP BECAUSE OF ALL THESE RUMORS WITH TVXQ DISBANDING !!!! T____T

And the news about Jae, Yoochun and Junsu suing them because they Sm literally takes everything and give them like 10-20 % of all the money the earns are driving me crazy.. I'm so sad !
Ok I know that they deserve more cuz they are Sm:s nr 1 Band and seriously, if Sm looses them.. it's Sm:s Loss but I don't really care about anything as long as they stick together and just continue to make their music... :(
And of course if this is going to be taken to court I hope they win cause they deserve so much more than those witty 10-20 % of their money they've earned..

I just hope they stick together, that's all that I'm praying for *On my knees

Please our beloved Dongbang boys, make an announcement and let the frustration of the cassies and bigeast disappear T___T

The guys left and Yunho and Yoochun stayed in the kitchen along with Junsu since they were probably discussing the iron we had just investigated and Changmin on the other hand were surfing the net .
I decided to head back to the livingroom as I saw Donghae examining her ankle and checking her as well..

I decided to walk over to Changmin to take a look at the articles if there was something we had to do but then I heard DOnghae gasp

"Minji?"

Both Changmin and I reacted and both of us looked at Donghae and Minji

"Minji? Minji? Do you hear me?" Donghae called

"What's happening?!" I rushed over with Changmin close behind

Donghae checked her pulse and Changmin called the other members from the kitchen

"Minji? Minji?" Donghae kept calling

"What's wrong with her?!" I shouted angrily

Donghae checked her pulse, then took out a small light to check her pupils and then he checked her pulse again while checking his clock

"Get me warm towel" Donghae ordered

Junsu ran for his life into the kitchen and was back fast, I guess it didn't take him more than a minute to get the hot towel

Donghae bended down and wiped away the sweat from her forehead as he was checking her constantly. All of us were tensed, trying to understand what just happened but soon to our relief, Minji started to wake up. Her face was pale, her lips shaking but she at least opened her eyes, flicked it around before relaxing when she recognized all of us

I couldn't help myself but to lean down to move her hair to the side as I wiped away her sweat with my hand

"Gwenchana?" I whispered softly

She looked at Donghae who was sitting right next to her, observing her next move

"What happened to her?" Yunho asked in a more calming and relaxed tone

"Fainted and black out.. Pretty.. common when you're having memory loss actually.. cause the memories are being pushed once you get a hold of them and it causes you to get dizzy and fainting is very common" Donghae said calmly

"Gosh.. you were freaking me out. Like she had a heart attack or something" Yoochun said

Donghae chuckled

"Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you but well I had to act professional" Donghae grinned

All of us stayed by Minji's side a little bit more suddenly she started to wrap the blanket around her more clsoe to her body and when Donghae approached her she flinched immediately and fell down onto the floor

"MINJI!" I gasped

She started to panic as she stared at us

"MINJI!" All of us said

Suddenly Changmin stopped us and held us back as all of us bended down as we say Minji crawl her way over to the corner as she kept staring at us. The eyes that I thought was gone had now come back and it looked more scared and frightened than the first time we saw her. She was shaking from head to toe, her eyes switching gaze every other second as she observed our move

"What's wrong with her?" I whispered, almost as in begging cause my heart was aching as I saw her eyes looking at me like that

"She's.. scared of us" Changmin whispered

His voice remained calm but you could hear the sad tone behind the meaning. He didn't shift his eyes away from her but he kept his distance and I was trying tos tay calm but seeing her so scared of us once again made me almost tear up in frustration..

"What happened to her?" Junsu whispered

"Don't come closer" Donghae whispered

Minji's eyes kept shifting, blinking twice as much as she stared at us, her hands shaking wildly, in fact her entire body was and she kept her body close to her as she stared at us

"Why is she like this? everything was fine just a minute ago" Yoochun said

It suddenly clicked inside my head. Was it that she must have recalled some of the memories, that the images was all that were flashing through her mind right now that she just automatically kept her distance and was starting to be on her guard again?

I looked at the guys

"Changmin sing that lullaby you sang for her when she remembered her mom" I said

"Mwoh?"

I nodded

"Do it" I said

The first tunes came out softly from Changmin as all of us shifted our eyes to Minji who was still shaking. As Changmin kept singing I saw her muscles loosen up a bit and she even looked at him curiously

"I think she's getting it" Yunho whispered

I looked at her

"Don't stop singing Changmin" I said as I reached out with my hand

She immediately stumbled backwards but kept her terrified eyes on me. I didn't move forwards, I kept my distance as I was keeping my hand in front of her

"Minji? It's me. JaeJoong.. You know me" I said softly

She stared at me

"You know is. You know we're not dangerous.."

I could see her relax even more and I smiled. I was making progress at least

"It's just memories. No one will lay a hand on you in the future . You're safe.. I helped you from the Underground. You know all of us.. Yunho.. Changmin, Junsu, Yoochun.. We're all here.. And Donghae.. he helped you.. remember?" I said softly

She looked at all of us and for a moment I think I even saw her coming closer to us

I nodded at her

"You know us and you know we would never hurt you Minji ah~~" I said

Her eyes kept shifting between us and all of us stayed silent

"JaeJoong?" She whispered

A warm feeling was being wrapped around my heart as I heard her call my name out first and she was looking at me

I nodded

"It's me Minji. It's ok.. you're safe.."

I started to slowly approach her and I even could make out that she was coming closer to me as well. After a few seconds she threw herself at me as she wrapped her arms around my waist and I hugged her tightly . All of us let out a sigh of relief as we knew that she was back. I rested my chin onto her head as I kept whispering comforting words and she listened to me quietly while sobbing

I started to feel the urge to kiss her forehead, pull her closer to me just to make her feel protected cause that is what I exactly wanted to do, protect her. I wrapped the blanket around her weak body as I carried her into her bedroom and the guys followed me as well, Donghae constantly being attentive of her reactions. Yunho handed me a glass of water as I was holding her in my arms on her bed and I tried to make her drink but she refused. Junsu gave me another blanket just in case she was freezing even more cause she was shaking a lot

Suddenly her sobbing and crying stopped and I instantly looked down to see why she stopped

"Minji?" I asked

I felt her hands take a hard grip around my sweater as she held onto me tightly

"He beat me.." She whispered

All of us stopped breathing

"He told me.. I wasn't worth anything and he.. told me he was going to hurt me"

Her voice wasn't stabled and tears kept running but she didn't sob

"He told me that I had to obey him" She shuddered

I looked up at the guys and I saw that Yoochun was burning with anger, not to mention the hard faced Yunho as well
Changmin was expressionless and Junsu stayed quiet. Donghae observed

"He came towards me with a needle"

Her grip hardened and I felt her shaking

"It hurts.. it hurted a lot but he didn't stop.. he.."

She paused and placed her hand on her cheek

"He hit me.. .. it.. it.. it started to .. bleed.. blood oozed out and...a nd.."

"MinJi.. it's ok! you're safe he's not here"

"I can still see him.. he's.. coming for me.. he's.."

She started to shake harder, her grip around me tightened and hardened and I panicked as I looked at the guys

"He.. NO ! NO NO!!!!"

"MINJI! MINJI!!"

She finally opened her eyes as if it was a wake up call and her eyes was staring into mine. I felt her grip loosen up a bit and then the tears started to fall

"Hey .. we're here.. ok? No one's gonna hurt you" I whispered as I hugged her again, pulling her close to my body

Yunho sat down and tapped her on the shoulder and patting her lightly, stroking her back as all of us were whispering comforting words..

When she finally had calmed herself down, she was just staring blankly ahead but she was still in my arms. Donghae examined her again but it didn't do much since she was still the same. She was ok just a bit shocked at the moment

"How about Hyung will try to get her to sleep?" Yoochun suggested

I nodded

"I think that's a good idea" Donghae agreed

Everyone said goodbye to Minji and she just nodded half heartedly as they said something to her and then we were left all by ourselves with the lights out. I was still sitting on the bed with her in my arms, my back leaning against the wall but I didn't know what to say except being quiet..

I decided to break the silence since I know she was exhausted from all tears she had shed earlier and not to mention the memories that was probably brought back..

I shifted myself carefully, still aware of Minji's reactions but when she didn't react or say anything I put her carefully down on the bed. She didn't let go of me and seems like she wanted me to stay cause I couldn't even stand up due to her grip around my shirt

"Minji?" I asked as I looked at her

"Don't leave..." She whispered weakly

It sounded like the life had been sucked out of her since it was expressionless and her tone sounded dead

"I won't.. I promise" I whispered back

I sat down on the bed quietly and repositioned myself and lied down with a high mountain of pillows as I was watching her. I was just thinking that I should lie here until she falls asleep but suddenly she moved and she put her head on my chest. I felt her breathing, the air coming right through my shirt and made it's way to my skin. I couldn't help but to feel the butterflies coming alive inside my stomach as I licked my lips nervously.

It was dark but I could still see her clearly due to the moonlight shining through the window
Automatically my arm just moved down and I put my arms around her body as I pulled her a bit closer to me while my left hand were stroking her hair

She was obviously still awake cause her breathing didn't change but her eyes were closed and she remained quiet. I caressed her forehead, down to her cheek and the feelings inside of me started to explode. I felt the heat rising, my heart starting to beat faster, not to mention the will of hugging her was becoming stronger. Images flashed through my mind as I recalled when I had been lying in her bed and her lips wasn't far away from me, but I didn't kiss her cause I didn't dare to.. Thinking of her safeness and her feelings, I forced myself to turn away

And then the incident in the livingroom...
I could have sworn that I would have kissed her by then if it wasn't for the guys coming but now when I think about it again, I was happy they did come cause.. even though I wasn't grateful THEN i was it now.. Who knows what would have happened if I actually kissed her.. she might have thought I was using her.. or something and the trust that she had built up for me and the others would have disappeared by now..

"He said he was going to kill me"

Her sudden words made me stare at her and my entire body froze as my fingers stopped stroking her

"He said that he was going to kill me slowly.. until I had inhaled the last breath for the last time in my life.."
