Kidnapped

20. Over

"K-kook Y/N, she is finally awake." He said and cried even more. I felt the relief rushing through my body as I looked at him.

Why the hell would he say it like and make me almost die of heart break thinking that maybe she was dead.

"Why are you crying then? Shouldn't you be happy and also be with her ther?" I question not noticing the tear that left my my out of relief.

It confused me why he was crying outside of the hospital instead of being inside and celebrating that she was finally back with us.

"I am happy...it's j-just I caused t-this a-and i-I'm sure I am that I am not the first person she would like to see when she wakes up. How could I face her without any shame knowing that I kept her away from her son purposely." He explained while looking down. 

"Jae... I am sure she would love to see you. Don't you remeber what she said before. She missed you and was very happy to see you. Now I am the one I doubt she would like to see. I caused her a lot if pain and heartbreak." Now it was me looking down in guilt.

"I guess we should both go in instead of wallowing in our own self pity. We should let Y/N decide if she wants to see us or not. And I think little Yeonjung would really love to see his mommy right now." He explained wisely as if he had not been crying about this matter not long ago.

We both then had a silent agreement before walking in. The nerves suddenly hit me hard as we drew closer to her room. It felt as if things began moving in slow motion as we continued walking.

From the corner of my eye I could see that Jae was no better. He seemed to be worse off than me. His face had grown ten times paler than when I first saw him outside and I could see a bit of sweat forming on his temples.

The only one out of all of us who seemed excited about this was Yeonjung. I guess he understood that his mother was finally awake.

When we arrived at her room both Jae and I stopped abruptly outside the door.

"You go in first." I whispered to Jae so they wouldn't hear me from the other side. He then gasped as if I had said the most shocking thing in the world.

"Why should I? You go in first." He said it as if he were a kid.

"Because you are older and her friend." I said back.

"Well you are her first love and the father of her child." He responded almost immediately.

"Aish... then rock, paper, scissors. Best two out of three." We began competing like little kids in the middle of the hallway of a hospital.

In the end I lost though so I had to get in first. I heaved out one of the heaviest sighs before walking into the room slowly with Jae following closely behind.

As soon as we walked in Y/N slowly turned to us. She was still pale but slowly regaining her normal skin tone. She looked more lively than before which made me happy.

"H-hi Y/N-ah..." I greeted softly and cursed myself for stuttering. Jae mumbled a small hello but I'm sure Y/N did not hear him.

"H-hi." She whispered back and examined my face. Something flashed through her eyes and I could quite understand what it was.

Her eyes focused on me for a few more seconds before moving to Jae and then finally to Yeonjung. I saw tears pool up in her eyes before stretching out her arms for our son.

As if Yeonjung knew that his mother wanted him he started wiggling and fussing to get out of my hold. Knowing that he did not want me anymore I walked toward Y/N and handed him to her. I stood there and waited for her to say something but her attention was fully stuck on Yeonjung.

The moment he landed in her arms it was as if a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders. She hugged him very tightly and cries began to break out of her mouth. It broke my heart seeing her like this knowing that I had been the reason for all of this.

"M-my b-baby. I-I mi-missed you s-so much" She sobbed and continued to kiss him all over the face while Yeonjung giggled and enjoyed her presence. All I could see in her eyes was happiness as she looked at the baby.

Jae and I stood near the door wordlessly as we watched the mother and son bond. We could not disturb them as we knew that they had been separated for too long.

After about thirty minutes was when she was able to finally calm. The stayed quiet as Y/N continued to enjoy her son.

"My love have they been treating you well?" She asked Yeonjung as if he would answer. All he did was to stare at her and make baby noises.

"Y/N-ah..." I called out to her and it seemed like she only then remembered that we were still in the room.

"Thank you for taking care of my son for this long. I'm sorry if it was a bother to you. When I get discharged you will not have to deal with us anymore. We will be out of your hair. When I get out of here I am moving out of this country with my son because I don't want him to be between anymore mafia wars. We also have nothing left here." She said all in one go leaving me in shock and disbelief.

How could she say all of this after everything I had done?
