"However, if I turn out to be right. you owe me" I said
"I owe you nothing," He scoffed
"If I helped save the baby, I expect something in return. after all, no shit is for free" I said

"well" a quiet voice broke the silence "I was expecting that, since his last sodium episode"
I looked up to see where the voice came from and it was Miss Gwan. My body froze at the sight of her and I felt shivers run down my spine. She had a smile on her face while she was staring at her son who was connected to life support. No life in her eyes. No emotion.
"See, I told you that this will happen" she whispered lifting her eyes and looking straight into mine
That's when her comment just set all of my nerves on fire and all I could see was red. I rushed to her but my mom beat me to it
"We will ask you to leave, Mis Gwan," My mom said, pushing Miss Gwan out of the door before slamming it shut. but that didn't stop me from reaching to it and trying to open it but my mom slammed me to the wall and grabbed the collar of my coat and looked at me with sharp eyes as she clenched her teeth hard that her jaw was shaking
"Let go of me" I said trying to get her hands off of me
"Calm down" my mom hissed at me
"No, she will kill him," I said as slowly my vision started to blur as tears filled my eyes
"You do something to that woman, she will fucking snap" my mom hissed at me
"Don't fuck this up Junghae" she hissed at me "Calm down"
"mom please, I have to do something," I said still trying to get her to let me go
"He is not Seowon" she yelled loudly
The room went dead silent all I could hear is my heart breaking
"I get it you want to protect Junghoon, I understand. mother to mother I know how you feel. but you need to understand that he is not Seowon," she whispered, that's when I started breaking down quietly as tears were streaming down my face.
That's when I realised I felt obligated to protect JungHoon because I didn't want to feel the guilt that I felt when I failed to protect Seowon
but at this point, I don't know if I can do it anymore
"We can't have you like this with a patient in a critical condition, Go rest and when you feel better come back" my mom said as she slowly released me. I looked down at my feet wiping away my tears and headed out because I knew that everyone in that room saw what happened, including Doctor Kai. Thankfully when I left I didn't run into Miss Gwan or else I would attack her.
I decided to go sit in the staff lounge, which thankfully no one was there. Once I closed the door behind me I immediately broke down crying. all the anger, the stress and grief that I bottled away just burst and I just let it all out. I can't do it anymore. At this point, I'm just grateful I decided to become a criminologist and deal with dead bodies rather than see patients die in front of me and not be able to do anything
