Dispatch || Han Jisung

-29-

The doctor leaves the room after checking up on me. Akari had to leave, so the doctor had enough space. So now, I'm alone.

I think of things to do to entertain myself, but nothing comes up in my mind. I do grab the remote and look through the channels, not finding anything fun to watch.

I shut the tv down and just stare in front of me. Being in a hospital can be very boring like this.

I shut my eyes, trying to fall asleep, like the doctor suggested me to. But for some reason, I'm not tired. I get frustrated and look at my injured wrist. I tend to lift and move it, but it hurts too much.

For what feels like hours, the same doctor walks in again. "Someone is desperate to see you. Are you in a good enough state to receive visitors?" I feel relieved and nod my head. The doctor smiles and makes room for the person to walk in, turning out to be Jisung.

He sees me and runs up to the bed, sitting down on the chair beside me. He takes my hand in his. I look at his face and see how concerned, angry, and relieved he is all at once. "God, I was so worried about you."

Seeing and hearing him, I realize how much I missed him. A big smile forms on my face, making Jisung smile back at me. The doctor, who was still watching, leaves us alone in the room.

"I have to admit I could be a lot better," I say while chuckling, "but I feel a lot better now you're here." I let go of his hand and cup his face, him melting in the touch. He brings his hand to place on mine.

"I really want to kill your father, actually," he admits and I laugh at him. "Please don't. I don't want you in jail too, Sungie."

His eyes sparkle as he grabs my hand to plant a kiss on top of it. I slowly move in the bed to make room for the boy to lay beside me. I sign for him to lay down and he does so. I rest my head on his shoulder, enjoying his warmth.

"Even in hospital clothing, you look beautiful," Jisung admits and I blush. He kisses the top of my head and then proceeds to rest his head on mine.

"I hope you don't mind me looking through your phone, but I did so to find some evidence to make your dad stay in jail a little longer, which I found." I look up at the boy's face, reminding myself again how lucky I am to have him by my side.

"I love you," I say out without thinking about it twice. But that doesn't say I mean none of the words. I can say these three words with all the confidence in the world.

Jisung seems surprised but extremely joyous with my statement and lifts my cheek with his fingers, kissing me on the lips. After a short make out session, he parts away from me and gives me the biggest smile. "I love you too, princess. More than I can express with words."

It's not that I was scared he wouldn't love me back, but I'm still relieved he said it back. To hear him say it, telling me it's true and not all in my head.
