Final Chapter: The Good End


Jonghyun is trying very hard to help his patient.  He saved that boy a few weeks ago, after he was said to be best died.  He did the operation, it was a success, but the boy never had woken up.  Jonghyun has been hoping for weeks since then, to see the boy wakes up and speaks again, but he never wants to imagine the condition.

            Right now, he is struggling to keep the boy under control.  The boy’s heartbeat increases rapidly and his breathing is uneven.  Looks like the boy is suffering, but he is actually trying to wake up.  This is the second time after he arrived just in the afternoon.  But, just now, the condition of the boy is not as exaggerate as this.

            While the boy’s relative, Lee Jinki is waiting anxiously outside, feeling very nervous of the unknown condition inside the room.  But one thing he is very sure, there is one doctor that is very reliable.  Jinki pust all his trust and believe on him, hoping for the best, and never has expecting the worst from him.  He keeps praying, tireless.  He only wants one thing, Minho is safe.

            He somehow still feels very restless, maybe because his girlfriend is still not there, just yet.  He hopes that she will arrive very soon, because he believes she has the power to keep him calm although in a very difficult situation.  However, keeping his faith on the young doctor, he is still able to stay calm.

            Little did Jinki know that the young doctor in the room is putting himself into cardiac arrest.  Jonghyun is trying his best to help the boy to gain his consciousness.  He has to admit that the boy’s condition really is challenging his professionalism as a neuro doctor.  He really panic sometimes, but to keep his reputation and to save the boy, he keeps himself under control.

            Jonghyun has to tell himself that if anything unexpected happens, he has to get ready.  Anything, including death.  But, he keeps that as the least possibility to happen.  Based on Minho’s medical report from the operation until now, Jonghyun could tell that Minho is a very strong person that really wants to hold onto his life.  He believes that Minho will wake up eventually.

            The condition in Minho’s ICU room is a chaos.  The doctors, lead by Jonghyun, are trying their best to save Minho.  While the nurses keep helping them and stay by their sides.  Minho’s case is extraordinary.  For someone who should just be dead, survived, and now are struggling to wake up, it is just a miracle.  They really want to see him alive and speak to them.

            That’s why Jonghyun is trying his best.  Not only him, Jessica and his other mates are also putting a very high hope in Minho’s case.  In addition, Jinki and Emma are also really depending on the medical specialists to bring Minho to life.

            And finally, after a few minutes of worry and chaos, condition comes back to normal as Minho’s heartbeat and breathing is under control.  And for the first time after a few weeks, the eyes open by itself, revealing the dark brown iris of the owner.





            Emma is scared to death by the sudden event that occurred just now.  She doesn’t want to believe it.  But, she has to.  It is very abrupt, and that is too much to absorb by Emma.  Just now Eunhyuk checked on him, telling her that there was no pulse can be detected.  Emma started to worry.

            Donghae was unsatisfied with Eunhyuk and checked on Minho himself.  Then, his face turned white, as white as snow.  He looked petrified.  He shook his head, and told Emma something that made her worried even more.

            “I think...I think...Eunhyuk...was right,” Donghae stuttered when he told that.  Emma couldn’t stop her tears anymore.  She took her phone and dialled the ambulance, straightaway.

            And now, here she is, in the ambulance, together with Minho and the medical assistant.  She couldn’t chase away the thought that Minho is already died.  She doesn’t want to.  But, half of her heart says that Minho’s dead, which makes her hate it so much.

            The medical assistant did say that Minho has died just now.  But, after he called the hospital, he changed his word.  He told her that Minho is just in a very weak condition.  He is supposed to rest enough before he can play sport as usual.  Emma could feel that he is lying, but she just keeps that at the bottom of her heart.

            When they reach the hospital, the medical assistant takes Minho to the emergency room.  Emma could only watch Minho been dragged away with her eyes.  She sits on the chair provided there.  She could only think of one person, her brother, Jinki.

            “Yes, Emma?” he answers straight away after it rings.

            “Jinki...” Emma’s voice trails away.  She tries to hold her cry, but fail.

            “Emma...why?” Emma could hear Jinki’s voice sounds worried at the other side.

            “Minho...” again, Emma speaks only one word.

            “Why?  What happened to Minho?” Jinki’s voice suddenly is raised to the highest volume.  She doesn’t know whether he is worried or surprised, maybe both.

            “He collapsed...” Emma says.

            “What?!” Jinki shouts on the line, and that almost makes Emma’s eardrum torn.  But, Emma doesn’t care.  She wants to speak to her brother.  She wants him to be by his side.

            “Jinki...” she calls his name.

            “Emma!  Where are you right now?” Jinki asks.

            “I’m at the hospital,” Emma says.

            “Emma-” Jinki is about to reply when Emma cut his words.

            “Jinki!  Please!  I need you here...please...” Emma seems to beg to Jinki, thinking of he might be busy with works.

            “Yes, Emma...I’m coming.  I’m coming over there.  Don’t worry...” Jinki says in a very soothing voice.  Emma calms down.

            “Okay...I’ll wait here,” Emma says.

            “Emma...” Jinki calls her.

            “Yes?”

            “Promise me you won’t do anything that harm yourself.  Please...I love you,” says Jinki.

            “No...no, Jinki.  I have you...” Emma says.

            “See you in a minute,” Jinki says and cut the conversation.

            Emma sits there calmly, at least after talks to her brother.  She really wants him to accompany her as soon as possible, because she doesn’t know how to act already.  She just sits down alone passively.  But, like a miracle, exactly one minute, she hears a voice.

            “Emma?” his brother calls her name, and there he is just a few meters away from her.  She stands up immediately.  It is weird, Onew can be here just in a minute time, but, she needs him.  She doesn’t care.

            “Jinki!” Emma shouts together with a few people.  Both Emma and Jinki turn towards the unknown voices.  They are Taemin’s and Key’s.  Emma looks at them.

            “Sorry, Emma.  But, can we have a talk with Jinki?” Taemin asks.  Puzzled, Emma nods slowly.

            Taemin and Key drag Jinki to a place out of Emma’s hearing.  Key brought Taemin to the hospital right after Taemin called and told him that Minho’s microchip experienced short-circuit and malfunctioned.  Taemin detected that through his own laptop.  Key immediately called Jonghyun after that to inform about that.

            “Jinki!  Minho...I mean the cyborg’s microchip malfunctioned due to heavy uploaded information,” says Taemin.  Jinki looks at him.

            “Then?” asks Jinki, also confused.

            “It ‘died’ right in front of your sister!” Taemin says.  Jinki’s eyes open very wide, but then he nods calmly.

            “How’s Emma?  She’s okay right, at least from my observation,” Key is more concern about Emma.

            “She’s okay, Key.  Now, both of you have to listen to my story,” says Jinki.

            “What?” Key and Taemin say synchronously.

            “Minho is waking up.  Jonghyun is trying to keep him under control right now,” says Jinki.  Now, it is Key’s and Taemin’s turns to be surprised.

            “Really?” Taemin says.

            “That’s great.  Emma will be okay!” Key says.

            “But, I’m still waiting for Jonghyun’s call,” says Jinki.

            “Right...while waiting...erm...I think Emma needs you,” Key says.  Jinki nods and quickly walks towards Emma.  Emma immediately hugs him and cries.  Jinki comforts him, doing his best as a very loving brother.





            “Minho...” Jonghyun says once he opens his eyes.  He looks confused.

            “Jinki...Emma...” Minho says the two names first.

            “Yes...Minho.  They are here, but outside the room.  I have to check on you first,” says Jonghyun.

            “Dr...Jonghyun?” Minho asks confusedly.  Jonghyun smiles widely and then looks at Jessica who smiles brightly.  Then, he looks back at Minho and nods.

            “Yes, Minho,” says Jonghyun gently.

            “I hear you everyday...” Minho says with a very soft voice.  Jonghyun chuckles.

            “I’m glad you make it.  I’m glad you wake up,” Jonghyun smiles.  Minho smiles back.  It is a very weak smile, yet, very genuine from him.

            “I hear you everyday...how can I not wake up?” Minho says.  Jonghyun smiles.

            “This is Dr. Jessica,” says Jonghyun while showing Jessica.  She nods and smiles sweetly.

            “She saved you after the accident,” says Jonghyun again.

            “No, no.  He’s the one, I was helping,” says Jessica while secretly punching Jonghyun at his back.  Jonghyun winks at her.  Jessica chuckles.

            “Okay...I want to check on you first before I can allow the others to come in,” says Jonghyun.  Minho nods.

            Jonghyun asks him to move his left body side and right body side to check whether he has nerve malfunction.  Luckily, he has no other problem accept that his left body side response is a bit slower.  Jonghyun says that it will get better over time.  Then, Jessica helps him to check on his pulse and blood pressure.

            After a few minutes checking, both of them satisfied with Minho’s condition.  Jonghyun nods to Jessica and Jessica quickly calls Jinki’s phone.  It is prohibited to use phone in hospital, but none of them obey the rule anymore.  The excitement gets over their professionalism.

         



            “Come on!  Minho is waiting for you!” Jinki says excitedly.  Emma is confused, but still following his brother to the respective room.  Taemin and Key are also following, being more excited than her.

            “Oh!  I can’t wait!” says Key while walking as fast as he can.  Taemin only smiles, but Emma could tell that he is happy.  But, why is everybody so excited while she is alone in this confusing mode?  They enter the room to see Jonghyun and Jessica waiting beside Minho’s bed.

            “Hey, Jinki!” Jonghyun comes to him.  Jinki hugs Jonghyun immediately.

            “Thanks.  Thanks a lot!  I don’t know how I can thank you!” Jinki says.

            “OH MY GOD!  Is that you Minho?!” Emma shouts in surprise.  Minho nods and smiles towards her.  Emma rubs her eyes a few times.

            “I thought...I thought....you were died...It was like...right in front of me just now?!” Emma says.  That makes the condition even worse.  Minho is puzzled too.

            “I’m here...just wake up...I don’t understand...” Minho says softly but it is enough for the whole room to hear that.  A very tense situation is created throughout the room.

            “Anybody want to explain this?” Emma asks with a very threatening voice.  Jinki swallows hard.

            Jinki looks at Jonghyun.  Jonghyun looks at Key.  Then, Key look at Taemin.  Taemin looks at Jinki.  They end up looking at each other, sending signs through their eyes on who should explain.

            “Let me explain,” a very soft voice says.  Jessica comes to rescue.  All of them sigh.





            At last all their problems are solved.   All of them keep going on with their lives, living towards a better life.

            Emma and Minho are cleared about the real situation, about the robot and everything.  Emma almost fainted when she heard about that.  But then, that was the reality.  Minho starts to follow Emma to work, captures photos of artefacts and archaeological materials.  They work together and that makes Emma very satisfied with her life.

            Moreover, her relationship with her brother is getting better.  Onew has been very good towards her and knows how to divide his time between works and family.

            Speaking of which, he is going to marry Taeyon very soon.  Emma feels happy for him.  At least, there’s someone very reliable to take care of Jinki.  Emma is glad that Taeyon will be her soon-to-be sister-in-law.

            Jonghyun and Jessica are now together.  They confessed their feelings towards each other and accepted each other.  They are now working together happily and they plan to join the medic team of the World Aid to help at war or at place of natural disaster.  They want to contribute towards the humanity.

            Key is pursuing his Master in Psychologist, specifically in women psychology.  He is going to University of Leicester in United Kingdom to get his Degree.  Amber is not following.  She continues her study at Netherlands in Engineering.  They promise to get married right after both of them get their Master in study.

            Taemin is now a well-known student and soon-to-be a robot engineer.  He is known widely throughout the world for his cyborg.  It is a hit, for him to create a very human like robot that is controlled only by a small microchip in the brain.  Making ‘Minho’ as his first prototype, it shows a success.  As promised by Onew, he gets his own satellite to locate all robots invented by him.

            He is very young, yet talented and many companies are ready to hire him to the topmost rank.  The most important is, no girl can resist his hotness.  Girls always try to attract him, but only one managed to catch his heart, Suzy.
