January 1st.
Tut. Tut. Tut. Tut. I hung up. Dammit lady, is it so hard for you to answer my calls? I cursed loudly causing several passersby to stared at me.
"Watch your mouth, mister," one kid gave a dirty look before he walked away.
Right. You'd know how i felt when you grow up and the girl that you love wont answer any of your calls, most probably you'd be cursing far worst than mine.
For the last four hours, i had been camping out in my car in front of Hyo Rin's house. I was hoping that she would turned up somehow but no. There were lights in the hallway and i saw the flickering lights and knew it was the tv. Wow, never knew that she would spend her holiday by watching tv. I didnt blame her for wanting to be alone. I was being such a dick.
Full of resentment and regrets, last month was a pure torture to me.
But i didnt have the courage to meet her, not even once, ever since i left her at the park.
I could see her, from between the gaps of her curtains. I smiled and laughed when i saw her sitting in front of the tv, with a bowl in her hands. I dialed her number once again and watched her reaction. She frowned as she stared at my number on the screen of her phone and placed it on the coffee table in front of her.
I kept dialing her number, like hell i would want to give up so easily. But she just glanced at it and i got pissed. Seriously. She was avoiding me and determined as well.
I watched her picking up her phone not long after that, and she was smiling to herself as her thumbs were typing. No doubt. She was texting Jin Hyuk.
Well, you did walk away from her, ya know? My consciousness said to me.
When she was weak and fragile and needed someone, i left her. Just like how i left Eun Suh. I was so confident that i wouldnt repeat the same mistake but apparently i did.
Only idiots repeat mistakes.
That kind of mistake was more than enough to teach me a lesson but no, i let my egoism took control of me.
Ever since last week i've been trying to call her but she didn't answer until a few days ago. She got a point though ; dont simply answer a phone call from an unknown number.
My brother came over to my office last week and told me a news that he had promised Hyo Rin that he wont tell me about it. Doctor's oath, patient's record are private and confidential between a doctor and the patient herself. But he came over to my office, as a brother, not as a doctor.
The news that Hyo Rin was pregnant took me awhile to digest it and i grinned stupidly like a mad man.
Jin Hyuk must have known about it. No wonder that one particular night, i was lingering at the park nearby her apartment, i saw Hyo Rin sitting on a swing alone. She looked totally different. From the look on her face, i knew that something was amiss. The temptation of going to her was pretty intense and it was inner battle in me. As soon as i saw Jin Hyuk came along, i hid behind a tree and watched them, talked. My heart was beyond broken that night. Jin Hyuk was seen hugging her and she wept in her arms.
Im sorry, i thought to myself. Im so sorry for causing you so much pain.
I tried to engage a conversation with her but she dismissed me completely. I stood there, like an idiot when she walked passed by me a few nights after that when i waited for her outside of her office. If i knew that she was pregnant at that time, most probably she wont be sitting all by herself in front of the tv now.
I watched her, fascinated by her, as usual. She did well in recovering from the pain that i had caused her.
My wedding that was supposed to happened yesterday had been canceled and surprisingly, by my own mother. I was shocked when she came to me in the office and for someone at her age, she could curse very well.
She scolded me for being stupid.
"For once, follow your heart, if you think that she's the right one. Dont mind me. Im already ageing. Dont worry about me dying. Im not going to die just yet! I do want to see you walk down the aisle but if you're not happy, dont expect me to leave this world just yet!" She said to me.
That was how i began my search for her. I met up with Jin Hyuk and wasnt surprised to see he was reluctant to tell me where she was at.
"Her sanctuary. But try not to see her. Let her be. She'll come back once she's ready," Jin Hyuk said before he closed the front door at my face.
I packed my things and drove all the way from the city just to see her here.
The lights in the backyard was switched on and i saw the back door swung opened. I got out from the car and dialed her number once again. This time she answered the call but hung up before i could even say anything. Okay. Face to face now, baby.
When i got to the backyard, i saw her lying on the floor. The snow near her legs were stained in blood. Her eyes seemed to be losing focus.
"Hyo Rin!" I tried to make her to stay awake but she passed out.
No. It cant be. Please be okay. I recanted the mantra in my head, scooped her in my arms and rushed to the hospital.
Please be okay. Please be okay.
"Hyo Rin!" I called out for her.
Wake up. Wake up. Please be okay.
My heart skipped in my throat and without myself realising it, upon reaching the entrance of the emergency unit at the hospital, i shouted for help. A few nurses and a doctor came to my assistance. She was still unconscious as they brought her in on a stretcher.
"She's pregnant," i told the doctor,"She's pregnant. Please. She's pregnant."
"You need to calm down, sir. Please," one of the doctors ushered me out from the treatment room.
No. No.
Please be alright.
