Warning ⚠️
Slight mentions of trauma and PTSD, if it makes you uncomfortable, please skip this chapter. I would like you to take this into consideration before reading.

Beomgyu was shaking. Taehyun tried waiting, hoping that Beomgyu would get better but it has been over 3 hours and he was still burning up.

He couldn't wait anymore. He picked up Beomgyu in bridal style and they made their way to Taehyun's car.

Taehyun drove to the hospital and it seemed like Beomgyu passed out. He frantically hurried inside the E.R. quickly going to the counter, asking for help. The nurses yelled out for some doctors.

Beomgyu was taken into a room and Taehyun was told to wait outside while doing paperwork. It had been 2 hours and Taehyun was losing it, why the hell were they taking so long?

He needed Beomgyu to be okay and better soon. Although it seemed like Beomgyu started dating Taehyun randomly, Taehyun loved the older more than anything.

He was furious everything that had happened was thanks to Beomgyu's father.

He looked through his contacts until he found it.

Hello?

Taehyun?

Yes it's me, Mrs. Choi

Is everything okay, Taehyun?

I need you to listen to me and try to not panic

Taehyun you're scaring me, what's going on?

Beomgyu's in the hospital, his body couldn't handle all the stress

We are currently in the E.R.

Oh god, I'm on my way

Okay I'll be waiting and please be safe, bye

He felt sick to his stomach, how could a father do this to his own child? While in his thoughts, he heard a doctor call out "Family and friends of Choi Beomgyu"

Taehyun quickly got up "That's me". He was worried. He took a deep breath in and slowly exhaled.

Unfortunately, life will always have an obstacle waiting for you.

The doctor took both of Taehyun's hands into his "Beomgyu is in a state of trauma. Most men go into a state of trauma or PTSD mainly because of 1 of 4 reasons. Rape, Combat exposure, childhood neglect, or childhood physical abuse."

He looked at Taehyun. This was always the hardest part about being a doctor but it came with the job so he continued "This means that something recently must have triggered his memories. Often with most patients, it triggers a constant fight-to-flight response and his body responded by putting him in a coma."

The doctor sighed "We don't know how long he will stay in this state and unfortunately there is always a possibility of him never waking up. All we can do for now is just comfort him. Please keep in mind that if he does wake up, it is possible he won't be himself for a while"

Taehyun started silently crying, it seemed that his whole world had just shattered. The doctor comforted him until Mrs. Choi arrived. Taehyun didn't know that Mrs. Choi heard everything.

She let Taehyun cry. She was worried for her son but Taehyun needed someone right now.

He cried for hours, neither of them went into Beomgyu's room. It would be more than they could handle, seeing him like this.

After hours of crying Mrs. Choi finally spoke up "Taehyun, you need to go home and rest. It'll be what's best, you can come back tomorrow."

Taehyun didn't argue. He simply nodded, Mrs. Choi followed him out to the taxi. "Have some rest, please take care" and with that she closed his door and waved goodbye.

She went back inside and started crying, she was strong in front of Taehyun but her son was unwell.

She went to Beomgyu's room and slowly opened the door. She slowly approached her son and sat on a chair next to the bed.

She caressed Beomgyu's face and continued silently sobbing. She fell asleep without realizing it. She knew she shouldn't have married her husband but she was really regretting this more than ever.

A mother's love for her children is simply uncomparable.

She felt the sun glimmering on her face, it was morning. She gave Beomgyu a kiss on the forehead and got out of his room. It felt like someone was clenching her heart. She despised her husband.

She went home and quickly handled the matter into her own hands. She made a phone call to an old acquaintance of hers.

Hey

Hello Byul

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Yes, and I assume you need a favor from me?

Yes, that would be correct.

Well, what can I do for you?

I need you to kill my husband and make sure you don't leave any trails pointing to us.

Of course but you do know that I have one condition

I am well aware, I will make sure to get you the money by tomorrow

Okay I'll kill him, just make sure everything can go smooth

Thanks

She had contacts from being a mafia before Beomgyu was born. Once she had children she got out of that business but something in her was still burning.

It amused her how oblivious her husband was. He never knew who she truly was and that's where he made his first mistake, the second was treating his own children like shit, and the third would be simply not being a good husband.

She was aware that what she was going was wrong but Beomgyu deserved better.

Taehyun got home and cried in the shower. He got out and went straight to bed. He didn't want to see Beomgyu like that but he wanted to see him so much.

Before he knew it, it was morning. He missed Beomgyu and although it would kill him inside he went to the hospital anyway.

Even if the latter couldn't see him, he still made sure to look cute. He made himself some breakfast and headed out the door.

He got called a taxi and made his way to the E.R. He just wanted to see Beomgyu being himself again.

He arrived shortly.

He headed towards the room and had his hand on the handle for 20 minutes.

...He just couldn't do it.
