Taehyung sighs as he stands in the waiting room, pleading with the receptionist at the front office.

"Please, I just need to talk to her for a few minutes." He states. The receptionist merely rolls her eyes before sighing.

"I've already told you about four times now. There's no visitors allowed right now." The receptionist states. He sighs before stuffing his hands into his pockets.

"Please, ma'am. It should be very fast. I just need to apologize." He states.

"Taehyung?" he hears a soft voice coming from the corridor. "Is that you?"

"Yes, it's me." he states as he looks over and sees his ex-girlfriend. She tilts her head to the side as she sees him before letting out a soft sigh.

"Ah, so you're the reason they paged my room and told me to tell you to leave." She says before arching an eyebrow. He scratches the back of his neck as he lets out an awkward laugh.

"Oh, yes. My bad." He states before he watches as she places her hands onto the wheels of her wheelchair. She rolls her way over to the receptionist and looks over at her.

"I know there's no visitors allowed right now but I have a feeling that this is an emergency." She states while looking at the receptionist. "I rarely ever get any visitors anyway, I promise we won't cause a ruckus." The receptionist merely rolls her eyes before speaking.

"Alright, fine. You've got fifteen minutes and then I'm calling security to throw him out." She states.

"Thank you." His ex-girlfriend bows her head politely to the receptionist. Taehyung does the same before following behind her as she rolls her chair towards her room. She then enters her room and rolls her chair directly beside her bed. She then reaches onto her bedside table and grabs her glass of water to take a drink. She then lets out a sigh of relief before looking over at Taehyung. "So, what brings you here?"

Taehyung awkwardly looks around the room before shrugging his shoulders.

"I was here the other day dropping a friend off for her pregnancy exams and I saw you in the lobby." He states.

"And?"

"I just wanted to... see how you were doing." He states. She looks over at him before tilting her head to the side.

"This has to do with that girl that you were with in the lobby, doesn't it?" she questions. He widens his eyes for a second.

"Wh-what?" he questions.

"I'm not stupid, Taehyung." She states before setting her water glass back onto the bedside table. "The girl who you were sitting next to who asked you to buy her snacks. I wheeled past you before you went to get snacks."

"What would visiting you have to do with her?" he questions as he stares over at her. She lets out a sarcastic laugh before immediately shaking her head.

"You haven't seen me in months." She responds. "You expect me to think you just woke up one morning months later and said 'you know what? I haven't seen my ex in a while, let me go visit her?' I know that you're here because she probably found out about what happened. There's no other reason you'd actually want to come see me."

"The one time I did visit you, your parents threw me out. I was trying to apologize the last time I came here but they threw me out before I could even get a chance to." He argues.
