A promise : I will never leave you.

11*

She had become someone that he could rely on .since they had gone through ups and downs and somehow she had always come back to help.
.
.
.
Ya Dr. Why aren't you picking up my phone call?? Suga rushed in her cabin.
Uhhh?? Mianhae !!! I haven't seen it. Ira said without even looking at him as she was searching for something.
Mwo!! You are bleeding .
What happened?? How did you get hurt.
It was just a minor car accident.she replied as she put the first aid kit on the table.
Aishhh!!! Can't you drive carefully. Suga yelled at her as he pull her hand to make her sit.
Here, give me the box. He took out the disinfectant..
Do you know how to dress a wound?? She asked as she offer her hand.
It's the basic thing everyone knows.suga mumbled as he look carefully at her wound.
.
.
Ouch!! Ira suddenly pulled her hand back as she squeezes her eyes in pain.
Wae wae??  I haven't even applied the disinfectant yet. He laughed at her childish action.
.
Mwo? Jinjja?? She looked with half opened eyes.
Ya !!!!! Don't move. Suga ordered as he  interlocked his legs with her trembling feets as she grab his other hand tightly.
Why did you get hurt if you can't even handle the pain of bandaging your injury. Huhh??
Ya, it hurts .she gushed as she tried to move her hand from his grasp.
Dr. , Stay still. Suga tightens his grasp as he stare at her eyes.

It will not hurt much. Just few minutes more and our Dr. Would be better. He tried to console her.
Here ,pass me the bandage.
.
.
It's done. Suga put the first aid kit aside and lift his head to look at her.
At that instant he realised, ..how close they both are sitting next to each other.Their faces a few metres away, his legs interlocked with her's.

As he looked at Ira, he found a child like innocence on her face.
She's sitting still , grabbing his hand . Her eyes were closed and all squeezy in fear just like a child grab his mother's hand in pain..

Ya, Suga suddenly release her legs from his grasp.
You'll be dead if I find you bleeding again.so be careful, understood. Suga flicked a finger on her forehead.
Phffff!!! Do you think I wanted that?? Huhh?? She pat her head in annoyance.
.
Kha ja, let's eat something.
Andwe!! I've few patients to attend.
I might get late.
Ohhh!! Araseo.
Then ermmm..... I'll leave first.
Okay.
.
Aishh !! I wanted to eat with her. He closes the door behind.
.
.
It's 11:00 pm already. Uhhh I am hungry.
She made her way through the hallway.
Ahhh!! You are still here?? She questioned as she run towards suga who was waiting in the hallway.
Wow Daebak!!! Were you waiting for me?? Ira gave a rasp laugh as she looked at him .
Ya Dr. Kha ja, I'm hungry.
Me too. She followed him outside.
.
.
.
What would you like to eat?? She asked as she read the menu.
Ramyeon!! Alright. She showed a thumbs-up.
Suga smiled as he looked at the other side but suddenly his smile faded away as anger took its place.
Ya ,I don't want to eat here, let's go.
Mwo?? What happened. She followed his gaze to analyse the situation!
.
Ohh!!! Is she the reason, you want to to walk away? She looked at him as she can recognise the girl from the photograph.
Then the man with her must be your friend, I assume.
.
Why you  always pretend that you know everything?? Huhh??
Because unlike you I don't hold grudges for too long understood... Ira glared at him.
.
How long will you avoid the reality??huhh?? You can't hold to the past for long.
You should move on now.
Don't let these people bother you.
Ira tried to convince him.
.
I know you are not angry,  it's just your fear that's holding you back from accepting the reality.
Why won't you give a new start?? Huhh?? She said softly holding his hand.

I know they were wrong. But they might be sorry for that and may even wanted to apologise to you.just give them a chance.

Go and talk to them.
Trust me everything will be fine. Ira smiled.
No I can't do that. It's already been 3 years, I don't even know what to say.
I can't face them. What if we'll end up fighting again. Suga argued.
.
Believe me , just go. She gave Suga a Little push in the direction of the couple.
I am doing this just because you are saying araseo, he made his way towards them.
Cheer up Mr. Sugar.
Aishh this girl.
.
.
You guys look good together. He winked at the man., As he tried to start up a conversation.
Ohh Suga!! They both looked surprised as Suga stood in front of them.
Mianhae Hae soo!
Mianhae ji hun!!
His voice started trembling.
I should've understand that you guys love each other. He continued.
Andwe andwe!!!  We are the ones who should apologise.
We are sorry for hurting you.
We should've told you earlier.
.
.
Ya, it's okay. I just wanted to tell you that I have forgiven you guys and I'm happy that you guys are together.
His words choked in his throat as he continued...Mianhae!! I took so long to apologise.

Let's forget everything that had happened in past. He smiled at them.
.
I'd better be going now. Suga said as he turned around to walk away .

He is feeling relieved as if a heavy burden is lifted from his chest.

Ya pabo!
Do you know how much your friend missed you. Suga stopped as he turned around in response of the trembling voice.
Suga mianhae, you can't imagine how much this friend of yours regretted of hurting you. Jihun said as he hugged him.
Tears fell from suga's eyes as he patted his friend on his back .
It's okay jihun, your friend is sorry too.
.
.
Hey guys if you're done with your reunion would you like to join me??
They all turned around to follow the owner of the voice.
.
Ahh!! Who's that girl??
A fool, Suga smiled.
Kha ja .
.
Anneyong!! Ira welcomed them with a bright smile as they all sit around her.
I'm Ira, nice to meet you!!
Nice to meet you too. Miss Ira. They both smiled
Are you guys dating?? Jihun asked looking at Suga ?
Ani ani !! We just know each other.
Ira nodded.
But you guys look good together. Hae soo winked as she looked at Ira.

Suga remembered someone saying the exact words but he didn't paid attention to that as thought of being them together is somewhat irrelevant to him.
.
Ya , stop with all this nonsense, just eat.
Aigooo, our Suga is still the same. You didn't even changed a bit in past 3 years. Jihun pat him on his shoulder.
.
.
They all talked-about as they enjoyed the dinner together.
We'd better be going now.
Sugaaayaaah, as everything is good between us, I'll make sure to visit you frequently. Jihun winked as they both walked away.
.
.
Haven't I told you everything will be fine. Ira smiled.
.
.
Is she the reason that I've got my friend back??

This is the first time that seeing them besides each other doesn't bother me,
Is it because I've her besides me.???

I don't know why I'm so relieved but I am thankful that I know her.
He wondered as he looked at Ira smiling.
.
.
I'm thankful to the day she came into my life.
