Chapter 77: Chapter 74
The light commotion soon garnered an excess amount of attention. He and his mother begin to receive hideous gazes and unsightly looks from the rest of the passengers around them, and further misunderstandings about their situation were created.
The crowd's sharp eyes were heavy with judgment as they attack him. It was one that pierces and burns holes right through his head.
It was an awkward and unfamiliar experience for Jin with the usual curiosity and concerned look he received from the people in Hongwon.
He found himself anxiously chewing on his bottom lip and dropping his head further as he hides his pale face behind the fine shreds of his raven black hair. He wanted to make his existence as unnoticeable as possible.
He who was helplessly yanked at the moment by the security guard and his mother who was wailing from the distance, no one from the eyewitness audience stood up nor had the kind heart to help them from the mistreatment they were getting.
And it frightened him how stiff this city's people's standpoint against maltreatment in public.
Their gazes . . . why does it feel so cold and heartless?
His chest starts to hurt and his breathing was becoming heavier and ragged.
And yet no one cared.
He wasn't terrified that he's feeling ill or he'll fall unconscious the next second, nor does he care about the way he's being dragged out oppressively.
He was more scared about the people's absence of humanity inside their eyes that's violently tormenting him from his back and his mother whom he deeply loved was treated unfairly.
"How barren of you to enter and disregard the procedures."
The man hisses in front of him and he can feel the man's livid anger from seeing the veins popping out from the side of the man's neck.
All of the sudden, the area unexplainably succumbs and caves in silence and the person dragging him suddenly halts on his sturdy boots.
A tear unconsciously slipped from the corner of his eyes as his body finally surrenders to feebleness.
The man's grip around him loosens and lets him mercilessly stumble to the cold floor. His knees created a loud and painful thud as they went in contact with the hard and polished material, but before his head comes falling next, something firmly drapes around his chest and caught him on short notice.
A heavy and shivering breath lightly hits the side of his head, and he shudders at its warm feeling as a weak moan escapes from his dry lips.
A familiar mannish fragrance plunges into his nostrils and eventually, his uneasiness quiets down. He can't help but stifle a few silent sobs as he buried his face against the warmest and most cozy feeling he's been longing for, his eyes now refusing to open.
He was exhausted and his upset stomach has nothing more to offer and puke out.
"I'm here."
A gentle voice whispers to him and a large shivering hand holds his pale face with utmost care, though panicking at trying to hush him down from crying.
"Jin-ah . . ."
Everything around him suddenly turns black.
"Jin!"

[Yes, it has been affirmed today that the former heir from one of Korea's leading conglomerates, Lee Yunso, has been arrested for the consolidated lawsuit filed against him regarding the dirty business he has been running for years. His records and illegal contracts have been leaked today by his former advisor, who also claimed to be sexually victimized and blackmailed by the former CEO, courageously gave her statement willfully from today's court trial.]
Waking from his seemingly deep sleep with his head painfully throbbing, Jin's eyes unhurriedly flew open and he was greeted by the bright light that shunned and briefly surprised him. He shuts his eyes again and opens them afterwards, but nothing changed from the blurry white sight he sees.
Where is he?
His body feels light and soft.
Is he dead?
Unknowingly, a sudden fear plunges inside him as his entire body jolts in panic. He forces himself up and sits but another unwelcoming pang pierces right through his head making him clutch his forehead and shut his eyes again.
Argh. He groans in pain.
[Jessi, what's the update for CEO Lee Yunso's sudden case today?]
[Ah ne, (Ah yes) Jiho-nim, we are here reporting live outside Cheon's public court office as it is said further of the case filed against CEO Lee Yunso has been today's media target. We are still waiting for further affirmation and investigation about how the records have come to light]
What's that noise?
Jin winces wordlessly and as his eyes start to accustom against the brightness around him, the first thing he noticed was the thick and soft white linen comforter wrapped above him.
No wonder he felt like lying in clouds.
Disregarding that, he looks around and found himself inside an unfamiliar room.
The room was designed with bright carpeted floors and walls with elegant patterns engraved on them. There were a few pieces of furniture seen on sight which he assumed the late kings and queens owned, but that was it.
Not a single shadow of a living person was seen on sight.
[For now, before true justice is served, CEO Lee Yunso's business projects will be ceased and be forced to close down. Today we have a rally in front of Cheon's International Airport (CIA) by a few citizens and students from Cheon Northern University stating the media to investigate the airport further if it was used for his illegal transactions to the enemy's base.]
Jin looked around, trying to trace the voices he heard and it led his eyes to the corner of the room where a flat-screen television was left on, and though its led screen was large it was barely noticeable to see.
That was how large the place he was unknowingly in.
[There was a witness! The dark prince was here and someone saw it]
[This . . . This is a closed-down private property and is already under supervision by the court of justice. As a student from a famous university, do you take responsibility for your claim against the rare occurrence of the royalty? What do you think of today's case?]
[Ani (No) I couldn't care less, to be honest, some of us left during class hours to confirm if the rumor was true]
[Today's case has been confirmed. What rumor is it if I may ask?]
[The prince of course, what else is there that's more intriguing?]
*Prolonged silence*
[Par . . . Pardon?]
He ignores the television when he understands nothing and instead focused on his tranquil environment.
Only noticing it now, he hears the pinging sound of an NST machine repetitively ringing and beeping by his side. He looks at his wrist and sees a tube attached to him, the idea immediately horrified him enough to freeze him from his place as his body suddenly breaks in cold sweat.
H-Hospital . . . No.
No. No. No. No.
Both his shaking palms went up to cover his ears as his tightly shut eyes continuously shed warm tears.
Eomma . . .
Harsh memories from the airport suddenly flash inside his head like a movie play and his severe trauma from that incident starts to overwhelm him again.
He looks around the room finding no one. It was quiet, alarming, and horrifying. Any word to describe what he hated the most.
He gulps and though his heart was thumping loudly inside his chest in petrification, he fought his fear as his eyes fixed at the door of the oddly designed hospital room.
Determined to escape and flee from this hellish place, he tries to slide and move out of bed, but to his surprise, he couldn't. He didn't budge.
That's when he felt something tight was locking him around his waist that he only came to notice now.
His eyes grew wide.
Having second thoughts, he gulps before he grips the heavy comforter and slowly lifts it up. He lets the light invade through the thick covers as he peeks.
And then his lips part as his throat ran parched.
He was greeted by the sight of a clothed muscular arm holding him around his waist and Hiro's sleeping and unguarded face pressed against the side of his hip.
