[M] The Maternity Ward 5: Mov (1/1)

“Hello?” Changmin answered the call after the third ring. “Kris?”“We found him.”“What do you mean you found him?”“Who else are we looking for?” He answered rather impatiently.“WHAT?” Changmin practically yelled into the phone, catching the attention of everyone in the base. “Tell me you’re not kidding.”“Hyung, do I seem like the type to joke around?”“Well, no.” He conceded easily, holding Kyuhyun at bay when his twin made a move to grab his phone from him. “But how in the world did you and Yunho hyung manage to do just that?”“Technically, he found us.” A beat passed. “Listen, hyung. We’ll explain when we get back… or at least he will. We’re a few streets away.”Changmin let out a breath of relief as he felt the burden fall off shoulders. “Get here in one piece, do you understand?”“No problem.”“Well?” Kyuhyun demanded as his brother ended the call. “What was that about?”“That was Kris…” He trailed off. “They found Jimin’s son.”“WHAT?” A chorus of shouts rang throughout the base as a few of them shot out of their seats in shock; jaws hanging wide open.“H-How in the hell did those two manage to pull it off?” Heechul stammered in shock.“The thing is, Kris said it was the boy who found them, not their other way around.” Changmin raised a hand when everyone looked like they were to spout out question after question. “They’re on their way so let’s just wait, alright? They can explain the situation better than I can.”What followed seemed to be the longest five minutes of all their lives.It was Kris who first walked in; his face composed and in its usual bitchface look, as if he hadn’t just been involved in the most major progress of the case. Kyuhyun and Changmin both raised his eyebrows at him; their faces expectant as they asked without words where the boy was. Kris had merely nodded towards the door and true enough, a teenage boy walked through the doorway with a hesitant, nervous expression on his face; Yunho guiding him inside with whispered words of comfort and reassurance.For a long while, everyone just stared at the boy like he was a heaven-sent miracle.The boy squirmed under their combined gaze and hid behind Yunho; Kris pointedly clearing his throat and snapping everyone out of their trance. With just one look at him, the team knew that he, indeed, was Jimin’s son; the teenage boy having inherited many of his mother’s facial features. Hesitantly, Sooyoung got up from her seat, took a step towards Yunho and the boy, and when he didn’t cower even more, she continued her way.“My name’s Sooyoung.” She offered her hand to him and smiled warmly. “What’s yours?”He looked at her outstretched hand before he stepped away from Yunho and shook it slowly. “My name’s Sehun… Oh Sehun.”“Don’t be scared.” Her smile grew warmer, if it was at all possible. “We’re here to help you, okay?”Sehun nodded, following her lead towards one of the vacant bed. Once he had settled on it and was given a tall glass of water and a rice meal in a box since hadn’t eaten anything since breakfast, everyone dispersed themselves around the base, trying to give him as much as space as possible. The last thing they wanted was to freak him out and intimidate him more than he already was. Though he was willingly replying to anyone who spoke to him, they knew that the situation must be hard for him, finding the truth about his mother in the most bizarre, unexpected way.“Are you really…” Shaking his head, Sehun rephrased his question. “Are you all psychics? Are ghosts real?”If it was at all possible, everyone blinked at the questions; Sooyoung opting to be the one to answer in behalf of her friends. “Well… There are seven people here with psychic-related abilities. Everyone else is… normal, for lack of better term. And I think that what I just said answers your second question too.”“Then, is she… Is she…” He trailed off, not being able to find it himself to say the actual words.But Sooyoung understood what he meant. “Yes, she is. She’s still here.”Sehun blanched at that; Amber hurriedly refilling his glass of water when he finished it in one long gulp. Once he downed his second glass of water, he let out a shaky breath as he attempted to settle his nerves. Sooyoung exchanged a worried look with Kris; the taller healer on alert in case of an emergency. For their part, Changmin and Kyuhyun were oddly silent and since everyone knew better, they all concluded that the twins were merely communicating with each other in their own special way.“My dad and Aunt Mihyuk have been lying for him since the beginning. I’m so tired of lies.” Sehun’s sharp words brought all attention back to him. “I… I want to know the truth. I want to know what’s real about… about her. I need to know.”“Sehun…”“Here.” He was suddenly rummaging his backpack, taking out a framed photograph seconds later and handing it to Sooyoung. “I know you need proof that I’m the one you’re looking for. Here. She’s Aunt Mihyuk.”Sooyoung found herself staring at a picture of a pre-adolescent Sehun, beaming happily at the camera with the arms of a woman wrapped around him. Accepting the folder that Yunho handed to her, she flipped it open to reveal the picture that the hospital of their former employee on file. It wasn’t a surprise that the woman in Sehun’s photograph looked older but as Sooyoung stared at both pictures, she knew for certain that it was the same woman.“I was twelve years old at that time.” Sehun whispered.“So she was forty six in this picture.” Sooyoung easily calculated. “She was thirty four when you were born.”His eyebrows furrowed. “What do you guys know about my birth?”“Sehun.” Changmin interrupted gently before Sooyoung could reply. “I know that you know what we are and what we do. I know you want answers but this isn’t the right time or the right place. We just need a few minutes to get everything ready and I promise, you’ll get all the answers you want.”“Get everything ready for what?”“We’ll be calling out your mother’s spirit.”Sooyoung barely registered the stunned look on Sehun’s face when he disappeared from view, replaced by nothing but an endless expanse of darkness.`~`~`~`~`~`“Youngho, driver faster!” Mihyuk screeched; her face no visible to Sooyoung for the first time. “We need to get to the hospital before your son does!”“I’m not stupid so shut the hell up!” He snapped. It was like Sooyoung was watching everything from Mihyuk’s side of the car, for she couldn’t see even just a glimpse of the man driving.Sehun’s father`~`~`~`~`~`Sehun reeled back when Sooyoung suddenly collapsed before him, barely avoiding smacking her face to the cold floor. “What… What happened to her?”Kris darted forward, lifting her up in his arms and settling her on the bed across from Sehun. “She had a vision.”“A… A vision?” He repeated; his voice trembling.“We’ll explain everything to you later.” The look on his face softened a little; the tall blonde feeling slightly awkward with having to comfort a distraught, possibly soon-to-be-traumatized boy. “So hang on in there, okay?”“I’m sorry you had to see that.” Sooyoung apologized to Sehun as she sat up; her eyes then finding the twin seated together. “We have to hurry up. They’ll be or they are on their way.”“Who?” Sehun asked.“Your father and Shin Mihyuk.”`~`~`~`~`~`Kris glanced worriedly at the pale nineteen year old boy seated by his side; the two occupying a step of the staircase that led to the rooftop. Outside, everyone was busy setting up what was hopefully their last ritual for the case; Jessica having been tapped by the twins to perform the special ritual herself. Everything was up in the air now. No one knew what to expect and what would come out of what was about to happen. All that everyone could pray for was for the case to finally be closed and for Jimin to finally pass on.“Are you…” Sehun broke the somewhat awkward silence between them. “Are you one of the seven that Sooyoung noona was talking about? You know… Are you like her?”“No, not really.” He paused to carefully word his next statement. “Sooyoung is a… She sees things that have happened in the past or will happen in the future.”The younger male nodded slowly. “And you? What can you do, hyung?”“I’m a healer.”“Like a doctor?”“Sort of.” Kris chuckled lightly. “Let’s say I tap on the paranormal when I heal people.”Sehun had a good sense to leave it at tha
