Epilogue I : Mother

Haruto POV

As much as I hate to admit, I should start to give Dr. Lee a label as my savior. Not only he helped Junkyu Hyung to be free from his nightmare and helped me make amends with my dad, but this morning, he told us to come and see my mother. He said there is a chance for my mother to remember me without having another episode.

She has been on the new drugs and new therapy for eleven months. I was skeptical at first after a few months. There was no progress at all, except she's no longer forgetting me and Junkyu Hyung as her regular visitors. Although we had to lie and tell her, we came to visit her as the owner of the hospital to do a random inspection on our services. We half lied in this case.

"Husband, calm down." Junkyu Hyung squeezed my thigh that kept shaking for the last thirty minutes we spent on the ride to the hospital.

"What if it's a false alarm?" I turned to look at him as he shut off the car engine. He didn't allow me to drive as I was too excited and nervous at the same time.

"The only way we can find out is if you calm down so we can see her. Come here." He opened his arms and gestured me to come to his hug. We both leaned towards the middle console as he engulfed me inside his arms. "We can only hope for the best. If this treatment doesn't work, we can always try again. Hmm?"

I sighed and nodded. He was right, there was no point in worrying about something I haven't seen yet. And it's not as if I'm going to give up on my mom either.

We stepped out of the car after we pulled apart and he gave me a quick kiss. He held my hand as we walked towards the geriatric center lobby, ignoring all eyes that were judging us. A bouquet of blue and purple hydrangea on his free hand that he never forgot to bring whenever we came to visit my mom.

The hospital director and department heads were already waiting for us when we entered the lobby. There was also Dr. Lee and his team.

Junkyu Hyung didn't joke around when he told me he will arrange the best team he could find to treat my mom. He went as far as hiring specialists and highly skilled nurses from all over South Korea and brought them to Seoul. The world of chaebol never failed to surprise me, honestly.

"Vice Chairman Kim, Director Kim, welcome." greeted the hospital Director.

Words had spread that Junkyu Hyung and I are husbands though we are still in the process of shifting our position in JW Group before Chairman Kim pass his seat to me. Even then, everyone already started to lick my ass like their life depended on it.

Just like now, these people bowed at us as though they weren't twenty to thirty years older than us, which Junkyu Hyung immediately waved his hand to dismiss them and jumped straight to Dr. Lee and his team.

"How are you, SooHyuk Hyung?" He asked cheerfully and I had to restrain myself to not get jealous. Okay, we are married already but my jealous ass is incurable. I can't help it.

"I'm fine, how are you, tiger?" said Dr. Lee, ruffling his hair which makes my hand feel itchy to slap his hand away from my baby. If only there were no ten other people staring at us.

"I'm great. Can we see our mom now?" Asked Junkyu Hyung. My lips curled to a smile when he mentioned 'our mom'. It felt nice to be reminded I'm not alone anymore.

"Sure." Dr. Lee answered then switched his gaze from Junkyu Hyung to me. "Do you bring what I asked you to?" He asked.

"Yes, but not much." I said as I handed him a brown envelope I carried along with me from the car. "Those are what I could find. Some rather new pictures. Mine, his and our kids."

Dr. Lee gestured us to walk with him as he inspected the pictures inside the envelope. Those were pictures of me since I was born till recent days. I found some on a box I kept before I sold my house long ago, some from JeongWoo's parents' house, and some from Lyn's.
