WHAT HAPPENED TO US ? | KTH FF

CHAPTER 28

YN navigated the hospital hallways, her heart heavy with the weight of her recent confession. Tears had swollen her eyes, a testament to the emotional turmoil she'd endured. Despite the physical pain that still lingered from her stepmother's abuse, she had insisted on coming to the hospital to check on her patients.

As she made her rounds, a familiar figure caught her attention. Mrs. Kim, Taehyung's mother, was waiting patiently outside her clinical cabin. YN's heart skipped a beat. She quickly handed a patient file to a resident nurse and approached Mrs. Kim.

"Aunt Kim!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with relief. Mrs. Kim smiled warmly, rising to her feet. YN embraced her, checking for any signs of distress.

Mrs. Kim returned YN's embrace, a silent appreciation for her concern. YN had always been more than just a doctor to her; she was a confidante, a friend. Mrs. Kim had noticed YN's quiet demeanor, her frequent sadness, but she'd hesitated to pry, fearing she might offend her. All she knew was that YN was married to a wealthy businessman and is a renowned cardiologist in Seoul.

"I'm doing well, Dr. Choi," Mrs. Kim replied with a reassuring smile. YN breathed a sigh of relief, her grip on Mrs. Kim's hand tightening slightly. She continued to scan Mrs. Kim's face for any signs of discomfort.

Mrs. Kim, sensing YN's concern, smiled warmly. "I just wanted to let you know that I'm planning to get Taehyung married soon," she announced, her voice filled with excitement. YN's heart skipped a beat. Her eyes widened, and her movements froze. A wave of dread washed over her as she realized the implications of Mrs. Kim's words.

Mrs. Kim noticed YN's distress. "Dr. Choi?" she called, her voice filled with concern. YN's eyes filled with tears, her breathing ragged.

"Aunty!" Jisoo's voice cut through the silence, her worried expression contrasting sharply with Mrs. Kim's serene demeanor. She rushed towards them, her heels clicking against the hospital floor. "Aunty, you shouldn't have left home like this. If Uncle hadn't told me you were here, Taehyung would have killed me by now!" she exclaimed, kneeling down in front of Mrs. Kim.

Mrs. Kim patted Jisoo's head comfortingly. "I just wanted to meet Dr. Choi and let her know about Taehyung's upcoming wedding," she explained, her voice gentle. "She's cordially invited."

Jisoo's gaze met YN's, and she could see the fear and confusion etched on her face. She knew all too well the depth of YN's feelings for Taehyung. Last night, Jisoo's parents had sprung a surprise engagement on her and Taehyung, a decision made without their consent. While Taehyung's parents had agreed to the proposal, considering their long-standing relationship, Jisoo was far from convinced. She knew Taehyung's stubborn nature, his reluctance to conform to societal expectations.

Jisoo herself was hesitant. Four years of friendship with Taehyung had given her a unique perspective on his complex personality. She knew that he still harbored deep feelings for YN. The memories of their past, the moments captured in the hidden corners of his room, were a constant reminder of their complicated love story.

Mrs. Kim turned towards the heartbroken doctor, tears kept pooling by the fence of her eyes but however they did dared to escape out, her reddened badly and finally she closed her eyes and let the tears of pain and heartbreak roll down. The hot tears burned her skin to her heart, the pain was too much to bear, was it the same when Taehyung came to know about her being married to someone else. How did he beared it all, just how.

Mrs. Kim slowly patted Yn's shoulder, as her head was too low to look at her face, Yn instantly wiped off her tears and tried her best to look normal but her body and expressions did not helped her. As she looked up, Mrs. Kim noticed the tear stains on her face and her brows furrowed but before she could ask anything to her Yn stood up abruptly and excused herself by saying that, "I'll be back Mrs. kim !!"
