chapter 12

"DOCTOR... your husband is here again," Miss Park called Doyoung through the intercom. She eyed Taeil softly, he had been coming there for 4 days.

Doyoung had told her yesterday that if Taeil comes, she needs to inform Doyoung. Miss Park is sure that Taeil can finally meet Doyoung today.

"We have a lot of patients today, tell him to leave," Miss Park bit her lips. Looking at Taeil while smiling with her sad eyes, Taeil smiled back at her. He probably already knows what Doyoung has said to her.

"He doesn't want to meet me?" Taeil asked softly, still smiling but his eyes look tired.

"We have a lot of patients today, he said he was tired and asked you to go home first,"

Taeil sighed and nodded to Miss Park, he is used to this.

"I am sorry," Miss Park mumbled softly.

"Why would you say sorry? It's okay. I'll make my move then, see you," Taeil replied. Walked out of the apartment with his heavy hearth. He couldn't sleep well for a week because he keeps thinking about Doyoung.

He was worried if Doyoung tells anyone about his secret without listening to him first, he was also not used to sleep alone now that he always had Doyoung by his side. He couldn't sleep well without night talk with Doyoung.

Taeil is blaming himself every day after he realized that he had fallen for Doyoung. If Doyoung decided to throw him away from his life, he would suffer from losing his triplet and the love of his life. He also had failed Seulgi.

"My husband?" Doyoung asked his staff.

Miss Park was dumbfounded – Doyoung just kicked him out now he is looking for him?

***

Taeil was watching cartoons with his triplet, Daehan was sitting next to him. Minguk and Manse were on the floor closer to the TV. Minguk will laugh at a few scenes and he looked at Taeil for reaction, Taeil smiled back at him. His triplet always aware of when he feels sad or worried about something, they will stay close to Taeil and tried to make their baba smile.

"Appa!" Taeil look at the door after Manse exclaimed seeing their Appa after a week, Minguk joined Manse to hug their father and Daehan was excited to see Doyoung. Slowly, Taeil heart shatters into pieces, this is how it feels like when the triplet runs away from him. He felt empty and lost.

Doyoung glared at Taeil, his heart beat faster. He suddenly feels the pain on his cheek the other day. He would never forget that it was the first time someone put their hands on Taeil. His lips were bleeding but his heartache more.

He was reminded of Jungwoo words –

"Are you okay? What happened to your lips? Taeil!" Jungwoo was angry, he was hurt seeing his first love and best friend looking sad, Taeil eyes were swollen. He doesn't look happy.

Jungwoo hugs Taeil, pat his back slowly.

"Are you okay?" Jungwoo changes his tone to be softer.

"I will be okay, right?" Taeil said, voice cracking.

"If you need help, I am here for you," Jungwoo said, hugging Taeil tightly.

"Did he hit you?" Jungwoo added.

Taeil nodded slowly. Jungwoo was so angry he wanted Taeil to ask that damn doctor to divorce and Taeil cried harder saying Jungwoo doesn't understand him. Then Jungwoo realized that Taeil had fallen for Doyoung – The way he talks about Doyoung to him every day and the way he back Doyoung up even though the man put his hands on Taeil!
