Chapter - 7

It was his birthday. Although we were not yet official but I had already moved to his house. I had decorated the house just like the way he liked and waited for him to come home.

He hadn't come home the entire night. I had called even in his office but they informed me that Joong had left long ago.

I had been either pacing back and forth in the living room or sitting on the sofa holding the phone to check if he called back. And like that I had fallen asleep until suddenly my phone rang.

I thought it was Joong but got dissapointed instantly when the caller id showed Earth's name. It was morning already. I picked up the phone and greeted him on the phone.

"Nine have you decided yet about that offer?" He asked me. We had completed our medical studies and were waiting for getting internships for practise. Earth and I were called from a hospital abroad but leaving Joong was far beyond my imaginations.

"No. I don't think I will be going. Sorry Earth." I apologised.

"Okay but let me know if you change your mind. And well what is Joong doing here in the hospital?" And my heart stopped thinking about that. What happened to him?

"Which hospital?" I almost chocked out.

"Dad's" He replied.

"Where is Joong?" I asked Earth as soon as I spotted him.

"Calm down Nine. He is fine. Go to room 117 upstairs" He couldn't even finish before I ran upstairs.

As soon as I found the room I could feel my heart jumping out of its place. What if anything really happened to him?

I slightly pushed the door open and what I saw was more painful than what I had expected. I could feel something stabbing my heart.

Joong was sitting there completely fine holding the hand of a boy lying on the bed and looking at him like he was devouring his each and every feature with his eyes. He then leaned and gave the boy a kiss on his forehead whispering the same thing again and again. "Please wake up. Please open your eyes."

That boy looked so beautiful with an angellic face. They looked so perfect with each other I thought and at the same time winced as I felt another stab in my heart.

Then Joong started crying. This was the first time I saw him so weak so vulnerable. And what amazed me more was when he spoke again with such a soft voice as if he was talking to a small child.

"I'm sorry I coudn't take care of you the way I promised. You are my first love you know right? How can you think of leaving me like this? Why didn't you think of me?"

He continued sobbing. But I already had enough. I couldn't stand there anymore. I stormed out from there. I could feel my heart tearing up.

Well was my heart even there in my chest?
