Fight my Way

"hello"
A young man greets Mrs. Jeon while leaning on the door frame. He intentionally visits her to deliver the message for his previous friend that indeed he is serious about what he told him over the phone

Mrs. Jeon will surely tell her son of his visit

"Hello, Eunwoo? Is that you? You have changed a lot" Mrs. Jeon beams in happiness. It's been years that he didn't pay them a visit. He is the son of her previous partner, he and Jungkook are childhood friends that became his partner at work too. He's the one who encourages her son to join the agency where they are working too

Jungkook said he just disappeared, problems happens and everyone of them decides to resign and disolve their unit with a bonded contract of confidenciality

"I'm glad you still remember me.. how's your Mom? Have you seen Jungkook?" She's excited to see him and hope to meet his Mom again

"No, I haven't but I gave him a call last week, i think. Yeah that was last week"

"I'm sure he will be excited to see you again.. how's your Mom"

Eunwoo obviously got sad just by her inquiry about his Mom
"she's gone"
He look down walking near her bed

"what? Why no one told me.. when it happens? I'm sorry, I didn't know.."

She gasps surprised by the sad news. She's her bestest friend at work and the only best partner she ever had

"I'm sorry I couldn't come to her wake"
Her eyes got tears, the news is so sudden. She thought she's the one going to die first because of her illness but as always. Her best friend leaves her first again

"when I got discharged here, I want to visit her grave"
She fisted her hand on her lap

"of course.. I'll get you to see her" Eunwoo head hangs low. He doesn't want to see the anger he has engraved  in it. If Mrs Jeon only knew why he's coming back, she wouldn't believe it too

A moment of silence past till he decides to leave. He walks to the door but Jungkook is already in the hospital. He saw him first walking in a corridor but he was walking with his head low, watching his steps.. now he needs to get out fast so he wouldn't see him

"I'll visit you some other day auntie"
He grips on the side of the door

"But soon I'll be discharged here"

"It's alright.. I'll visit you at home"

"But, we moved out.."
She worries. She wants to see him again to visit her friend's grave but Eunwoo seems in a hurry now to leave his address

"I'll know your place.. get well soon"
He walks out and disappear without waiting for her answer but she know he'll come back. He will see him again, he will know their address.. locating her wouldn't be hard for someone like them

"Mom, how are you feeling?"

Jungkook walks to her with a bag of fruits. He put it on the side table and kisses his Mom on the temple

"Didn't you see Eunwoo?"

Jungkook raises an eyebrow. Eunwoo left the agency without proper resignation. He is MIA and AWOL and now her Mom telling him he got visited by him

"Then I guess you didn't see him on the way here"

"where did he go? What did he tell you?"

"He just came here and visited me, he told me his Mom passed away, haven't  you known it? He's in a hurry to leave"

Jungkook walks out of the room trying if he could see him walking on the corridor but the hall is already clear, no trace of him. Few nurses walk in and out of the rooms for their rounds
