#44 Crazily Desperate

Mina's POV:

How dare I come to his office.

I'm really shameless. I was the one who left him, but I'm still the one who's coming back. My mom has gotten out from his hospital last year, so, there's no reason for me to comeback. Still, it's why my feet always has purpose; to walk towards him.

I grabbed the handle while taking a deep breath.

It's locked.

"Mina." I instantly turned my back away from the door.

"Mr. Jeon." I mumbled. My head dropped from his sudden appearance. Is he going to get mad that I'm here? I can't look at him straight in his eyes.

"Let's talk." He sat on one of the five metal seater gang placed beside Wonwoo's office. I slowly sat on it, one chair apart from him.

No one dared to say anything. It was a long uncomfortable silence for me. I wanted to runaway from him because of this awkward situation.

"We all don't know when my son will comeback right?" I peeked at him to see his reaction. He was waiting for me to agree with him so I immediately nodded.

"We also don't know if he's still alive or not right?" My heart stopped working. It's okay for me to accept his first question, not just the second. I still can't accept the fact that he's not alive. It will be impossible. Right?

I hesitated. If feels like I became dumb on what to react. My mind suddenly went blank. Seconds passed and I just nodded slowly compared before.

"I know that I was not a good father to him, and a good person to you. If I will keep this grudge, it feels like I wouldn't be able to forgive my son for years. So, I'm really sorry Mina. Not just because Wonwoo is gone but because I never treated you right."

I took a deep breath and smiled. I know that the Jeons may look cold, but deep inside, they're very kind.

"I'm sorry that you won't be able to see him but rest assured, we're trying everything that we can throughout the years. If there is news about him, you'll be the first one to know." He smiled moderately. I know he can't ruin his cold image right in front of me.

"You're forgiven Mr. Jeon. I appreciate your hard work." My heart thumped out of happiness because he finally spoke to me. Last year was uncomfortable celebrating Christmas with him. He didn't talked to us that much.

"How about appa?" I showed him my gummy teeth that was once only shown to those who are close to me. I immediately hugged him from the thought that I'm treating him as my father... In-law?

"Call me when you need me." He bid his goodbye and faded from my sight.

"Mrs. Myoui?" I was interrupted when a guy called my attention.

"Yes?"

"You're really Mrs. Myoui. You're the wife of Dr. Jeon right?"

I pondered at his question. I looked at him, confused. On the other hand, my thoughts we're amused. What should I say?

"Yes."

"I'm Lee Seokmin. I'm still an intern. Oh, here's the key to Mr. Jeon's office. You haven't visited for a long time so it was on standby here all the time. You can have them if you want. It belongs to you nonetheless." He keeps smiling non-stop.

"Thank you." He hurriedly ran off to do his duty. While me, I was contemplating whether to unlock it or not.

It's too late, I already opened his office. All the memories immediately replayed in my head and all I can do is to watch the room filled with emptiness.

"I miss you."

"What should I do?" I asked Mingyu and Tzuyu as they looked at me with their done expressions. Maybe I asked this question hundred times in a row, that's why these two don't have the energy to respond.

"Repeat that again or I'll give you a chicken slap." Mingyu spatted and he continued to eat. I mean, all of us are exactly eating inside Tzuyu and Wonwoo's mansion. I guess I was just disturbing his mukbang while watching television 101.

I pinched his ears while he groaned, giving me a death glare. Tzuyu rolled her eyes as she finally sat on the sofa next to me.

"Dad's going to handle the situation. He'll find him sooner." She partially assured me.

I sighed at her reply. Sooner. How soon is that 'sooner' precisely?

"What if I'll also try paragliding? Just like how Yoon Se-ri got inside North Korea immediately." I looked at them with mischief but they quickly shook their head with fear.

"Wow. That is the best example of the worstest ideas on how to forcefully go to North Korea. Bravo." Mingyu clapped his hands, giving me an unbelievable look.

I looked at Tzuyu and she looked at me with pure shock. "I totally agree with Mingyu."

I nodded and put both of my arms in the air as a sign of defeat. Truth to be exact, I know my idea was pretty insane, but love makes you crazy. Am I right?

"I wanna go to North Korea. It's so near." I groaned out of desperation.

"It's near, yet so far. It's very unreachable." Tzuyu, as she is, always says what it realistic. I approve what she says though.

"North Korea is something you shouldn't go. You can't just goof around there. Small actions can kill you." Mingyu changed the channel continuously while holding the remote.

I got two different response with likely, the same point. I mean, it's very unreachable because it's dangerous.

"If the government knew about this from the start, what made Wonwoo delayed his arrival here?"

"Because we treat each other like spies. We don't what happened after they let Wonwoo enter North Korea. It's either one of them didn't fulfill their words or Wonwoo himself, hasn't finished being a doctor there. You know, he may have a lot of men to protect him but being inside the border means you can't communicate on the outside. As I said again, so near, yet so far." Tzuyu layed her back on the soft sofa, ending her perspective and facts about the condition.

But what if he found someone there? What if he chose to stay because he already found someone he loves? What if that's the reason why his arrival got delayed. What if that's the reason why he never came back.

For a million time, I sighed. Even so, I won't get tired if waiting.

Please, come back.
