"Where is the room for Park Jinyoung's treatment?"

Taehyung stood in front of the receptionist. The receptionist looked up and gasped. Fascinated by Taehyung's appearance and good looks.

"Park Jinyoung's treatment room?" Taehyung repeated annoyed because the receptionist just stared at him like an idiot.

"Oh... For Jinyoung.. you... you should probably go see Nurse Irene first, she is the head nurse in charge"

"Where?" Taehyung muttered impatiently.

"Third floor, nurse's room number two"

Without further ado Taehyung left the receptionist who was still gaping.

The door was shut tightly and Taehyung knocked on it.

"Come in." a firm voice sounded from inside. Taehyung walked in and was immediately confronted by nurse Irene.

Nurse Irene immediately realized who was standing before her. She couldn't have been mistaken. Jisoo's portrayal is very accurate. This man is truly extraordinarily handsome with arrogance that is like a package with his aura.

"Have you finally managed to find out the truth?" Nurse Irene muttered directly without further ado.

Taehyung frowned at Nurse Irene's first greeting which he didn't expect at all. But then he remembered the call in the middle of the night that he accidentally picked up.

The caller said she was Nurse Irene...

"Yes." Taehyung admitted slowly, "I know everything already?"

"Everything, and first, before you insult Jisoo again. Let me explain to you, last night Jisoo came to me, in a pathetic condition. Mentally and physically fragile, and she said she wanted to get away from you, I think that's normal considering your treatment to her"

Nurse  Irene looked at Taehyung with a blatant disapproval that Taehyung's face blushed.

"The money she used to pay you off, that was borrowed money from me and several other hospital staff and her savings, not money from selling herself to other men like what did you accuse him of this morning?

Another truth. Harder than a slap on the cheek, Taehyung's tongue felt numb.

"I want to see Jisoo" Taehyung muttered finally.

"For what? When the debt relationship is settled. There is no longer any need for you two to meet, and I'm not sure Jisoo would be willing to see you anyway."

"It has nothing to do with money! I don't care about money!" Taehyung almost shouted, then cleared his throat trying to calm his emotions.

"I have to meet Jisoo, apologize, I know I was wrong all along.."

"You can convey your apologies through me" interrupted Irene firmly.

 Taehyung frowned.

"Please.....I have to meet Jisoo, I need to meet Jisoo"

Nurse  Irene studied the man standing before her. This man was too handsome, too rich that it was natural for him to appear so arogant. But now Taehyung looked so miserable, and he was willing to beg to see Jisoo. Nurse Irene took a breath, as a conclusion came to her mind.

This man is in love.

How could she refuse Taehyung's request?! If only Taehyung was just a cocky man who just wanted money that he gave Jisoo, Nurse  Irene would have kicked him out without hesitation. But Taehyung who was in front of her looked so painful with guilt, looked like he was crushed under his own feelings. This man was as miserable as Jisoo. How could Nurse Irene have the heart to kick him out?

"But please don't hurt Jisoo again if you meet later, don't force her..." Nurse Irene's eyes softened as she thought of Jisoo, "that girl's burden is enough"

"l promise." Taehyung answered confidently.

For a moment, nurse  Irene stole a glance at Taehyung. Irene smiled when she found Taehyung's expression also soften at the thought of Jisoo.

Ah Jisoo, This guy is really in love...

****

The room was silent at the very end of the hall. And Jisoo just stood in front of the treatment room staring through the wide glass window that separated her from Jinyoung, it was not visiting hours and Jisoo was not allowed to enter.

Jisoo's mind was heavy, she had no job now. Nurse  Irene and the others said they would help, but Jisoo couldn't possibly depend on the help of others continuously and she losed her savings. Especially with Jinyoung's maintenance costs which are so expensive that she has to bear every month...

Jisoo sadly looked at Jinyoung, the man was still lying in the same peace, so pale, only the sound of the life support machines showed that there was still hope for life stored there.

Jisoo wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Ah Jinyoung.... How long have you been sleeping like this? I miss you, you know. I need you. Right now I don't understand my own feelings, I'm afraid that if you don't wake up soon I will..

It was then that Taehyung walked in, ushered in by Nurse  Irene behind him. A strange feeling of sadness welled up in Taehyung's chest when he saw Jisoo looking at Jinyoung who was lying behind the glass with a sad look.

"Jisoo...." Taehyung muttered under her breath,  suddenly overcome by a deep desire to distract Jisoo from Jinyoung.

His voice seemed to jolt Jisoo so that she turned her head in surprise. Her face immediately turned white, not expecting that Taehyung would appear here, her eyes looked at Nurse Irene for help.

"He came here to talk to Jisoo, and he promised he wouldn't do or say anything that would hurt you," Nurse  Irene muttered softly, noticing Jisoo's agitation, she then took Jisoo's arm.

"Come, I'll take you to my room where You guys can talk quietly, I'll leave you there"

Jisoo only followed as she was led into Nurse Irene's room, while Taehyung just followed behind in silence.

The room remained silent five minutes later when nurse Irene closed the door from the outside.

"I'm sorry," Taehyung muttered softly at last. Jisoo crossed her arms, as if to protect herself.

"Yes... That's forgiven... Now.. Now can you go?." Jisoo started to hold back her tears. Taehyung had really hurted her heart, the presence of the man now, standing in front of her, looking at him so tenderly, really made her emotions fluctuate.

"I don't know about all of this Jisoo, just now Jennie revealed the truth in front of me. I don't know. Can't that make everything a little understandable?" Taehyung continued slowly. day to day. It...tortures me too, whether it's the urge to love you or to punish you because deep inside l thought I was just being used, Taehyung blinked his eyes painfully.

"If I had known about all this, things would have been different Jisoo"

Jisoo closed her eyes. Inevitably Taehyung's sincere apology began to touched her heart. Taehyung was not to be blamed. He does not know anything. What was Taehyung supposed to think about a girl throwing herself at him for money besides that girl was a slut anyway?

"...I understand.it's okay, it's also my choice not to tell you all this," Jisoo's voice sounded hoarse.

Taehyung looked at Jisoo sadly.

"Jisoo..." Taehyung reached out to grab Jisoo, but was stunned when Jisoo backed away like she was frightened.

The realization crushed Taehyung, the realization that Jisoo was afraid of his touch, maybe a result of his rudeness last night.

Taehyung ran a hand through his hair roughly.

"I... Maybe it's too late. But I have to say it.... love you Jisoo
