"W... What?"
She gasped, realising what she had actually said. In no time she started apologising for it.
"I'm s-sorry for w-whatsoever I just s-said. J-just forget i....j-just forget w-what I s-said... I'm sorry.."
I had no courage to carry on the conversation further. The wished to disappear in thin air so that nobody could see my pathetic self.
"O-okay.. May I... May I take y-your leave n-now?"
"I-I'm... I'm really... sorry..."
It was getting too much for me to bear. Unable to look at her, I bolted out of the ward. I could hear Dr. Yeongji and Taehyung calling out my name from behind. But I had no guts to face them.
Taehyung knew where I was going. And he was right. He followed me to the NICU.
I stopped by the ward, advancing my trembling steps towards the poor infant's ventilator. He was sleeping peacefully, oblivious of what his parents were doing to him.
I was crying silently until I felt a hand squeezing my left shoulder. That was the moment I knew I won't be able to hold it any longer.
I dropped down on my knees, trying to make no sound while crying my heart out. With my hands covering my mouth, I sat there for quite a while.
Taehyung must have found himself totally helpless. He hid my face in his chest, shushing down my bleeding heart.
I could hear him console me in his deep shaky voice.
"Shh... I-l know it hurts.. a l-lot..."
In his embrace, I cried endlessly. It actually helped me streamline my thoughts. Cross questioning myself over and again, I came to a conclusion.
With all of my courage, I broke the hug slowly. I looked into Taehyung's eyes, ready to declare what I intended to do.
"H-hyung..."
"Yeah... "
I looked on the white floor. Standing up on my unsteady feet, I fixed my gaze on the sleeping baby. I could feel Taehyung standing behind me, waiting for me to speak.
And so, I said.
"I... I-I'll take care of this child.. I will g-give him my name... His name will be.... Jungsun Jeon Jungsun"
Having said that, I knew I'd never take my words back, even if my life was shattering.
