I've been checking on Taehyung daily, and he seems to be recovering well.
He can walk without a lot of pain, but his arm fracture still had its cast.
His guards are always on duty outside the room, and they know who I am.
On this one day, I needed to check up on his neck, checking his recovery.
"Boss is not inside, ma'am." They informed me, "Oh, okay... Then where did he go?"
"He's at the garden with Mr Park downstairs."
"Thanks," Even though we were no longer dating, I still wanted to know his every move.
As I walked around the garden, I was greeted by some of my patients.
Patient 1: "Doctor Min! Thank you so much for the surgery, I really feel better now."
Patient 2: "Of course, she's one of the best doctors here!"
"She most certainly is." Taehyung said, walking closer to me. The wind blowed my hair, and his stares wouldn't leave me.
"How are you feeling, Mr Kim?" we walked side by side, to a bench.
"Y/n, please... Just talk to me like before. I can't take this anymore. What went wrong? It makes no sense. We got matching tattoos, and suddenly, you broke up with me in a rented restaurant."
"Tell me, was it because of my stepmother? Look, I know what she has done to your father, but -"
"What are you talking about?" I stopped him from taking further. "You're putting words into my mouth. Words that I would have never thought about or say out loud..."
"Look, I didn't tell you the truth because I knew how you would've reacted. I know you, Taehyung. Inside and out."
"Then? Just tell me what's wrong. Breaking up with me wasn't the best solution. Please. Share it with me." his hands caressed mine as I finally gave up on hiding the truth.
"Your stepmother threatened me..." As soon as my eyes met his, he looked like he was fuming in anger.
"What did she say?" i looked away, as what his stepmother said to me, i can't let anyone know about how she threatened me, especially Taehyung.
"I know why you're hesitating. You've already told me that she threatened you, what am i to you? The least you can do is to tell me what she said."
"But, what if she finds out? She said that if i continue going out with you, she'll make me have the same fate as my father. It may sound selfish, but i want to make my father proud by living up to his dreams of me being a doctor."
"I don't want to live this way, Taehyung. I want things to go back to normal. I want you all by myself without worrying so much..." I led out tears that I've been suppressing out.
Without wasting a second, he hugged me with his left arm, comforting me with his warmth and love.
"And because of me, you got into this terrible accident..."
"Min Y/n! What are you talking about? I love you to the moon and back! I'm so sorry that you went through all these times alone. I was the worst boyfriend. If anyone is selfish, it was me all along."
"My love for you is growing bigger and bigger each day. Believe me, I want you more than anything."
He then startled me by getting down on one knee, "I've been holding on to this ring since our second anniversary, but i was nervous and didn't pull it out... It's not the way I expected to propose to you, but I need to do this now before it's too late."
"Min Y/n, Will you marry me and make me the happiest man alive? We'll ignore the bad together and enjoy the good times together."
"There's no other woman I'd rather be with. Marry me, the love of my life."
As i looked into his eyes, I could see his love and desperation for me. No one has ever made me feel this way before. "Yes, of course I'll marry you!"
We both stood up, and he pulled me by my waist with his left arm and kissed me passionately. I could tell that he was longing for the kiss.
"I'm so glad you're mine! There's no way you're ever leaving my side anymore." He slid the ring on my finger and smiled so brightly.
"What about your marriage?" I asked with a pout.
"About that, you've been gone for so long, I found out that she was also dating a guy."
My eyes turned huge as I heard that.
"Well, it turns out that she only did what she was told by my stepmother for money. I mean, she confessed that herself. She said that she never loved me and did the whole act for the marriage. "
"Anyways, we divorced secretly without my mother knowing. I paid her money for her to continue acting like as if we didn't."
"Why?"
"Babe, your fiancé is a mafia king. He so obviously has a plan." He smirked. But, I chuckled at how he addressed himself as 'fiancé' so quickly.
"I like your new title,'fiancé' "
"An even better title is 'husband and wife', my love."
Oh, how I missed our relationship!
