YOUR P.O.V

"Your name is M-Minhee?" I nodded my head. Jaehyun's father stood up from his seat and escorted his wife to the kitchen. He then brought over a broom and dustpan to sweep up the shattered glass pieces on the floor.

"Is there something wrong?" I tugged on Jaehyun's sleeve. He shook his head and gave a pat on my back as a form of assurance. "I'll go check up on her. Just stay here for a moment."

I decided to see if I could help them out with anything, but it seems that my presence caused quite a scene in this house.

From where I was standing, I saw Jaehyun's mother gulping down cups of water while patting on her chest, doing actions to calm herself down. Was my presence too much of a surprise or shock to her? Does she know who I am? Why don't I have any impression of her?

Jaehyun came back from the kitchen and brought me to the living room. He gave me a comfortable hug which only promised me unlimited sense of security. "Minhee, do you mind if we have dinner outside ourselves? I think things got a little messy and this may be a shock to you."

I shook my head as I felt it was rude to just leave the house after causing a stir up in here. "Can I help in any way?" He told me that it was okay as his lips formed a thin line.

I hurried into the kitchen to find Jaehyun's mother tearing up at the kitchen counter. It looked as though she was holding on for dear life. If she lets go, she would collapse.

"Auntie, are you okay?" I reached over to attempt to pat her back to calm her down but she moved away from me and avoided my touch.

"Is there something wrong?" I could see fury in her eyes as she turned around to face me. "NO! JUST GET OUT OF MY HOUSE NOW!"

I jumped at her sudden hostile tone and proceeded to bow multiple times before heading out of the kitchen and to the living room. "Jaehyun, let's go." I think he understood why I wanted to leave and hurriedly brought me out of the house. He must have heard the loud hollering coming from the kitchen.

As we got out, a cold breeze hit my face and I slightly shivered. "Are you okay?" I nodded as I continued walking towards nowhere.

"Min, you can tell me anything you know that right?" I turned around and gave him the tightest hug ever. I didn't want to let go at all. Jaehyun was my pillar of support and I wouldn't know what to do without him. There were so many 'what ifs' running through my mind. What if his parents disapproved of our relationship? What if they force me to break up with Jaehyun?

"I'm alright Jae. Don't worry." I gave him a reassuring smile as he planted a kiss on my nose. My nose was red from the cold and now my cheeks were even redder.

"You're so cute. I'm sorry Min for what happened back in the house." My lips formed a thin line and my eyes formed crescents. I tried to appear as happy in front of him when I was actually so worried. My heart has been hurting more frequently these few days.

JAEHYUN'S P.O.V

I could see from Minhee's eyes that she was troubled, most probably about the incident earlier. I went to the kitchen to dig deeper and get a grasp on the situation but I was chased away by both my parents.

I have not properly loved Minhee yet and now, I just fear the day when my parents reject her will come. I want them to accept her because she caused so much change in my life. I'm now never influenced by any of the nurses in the hospital because I only had one spot in my heart and it was for Minhee.

We were on duty tomorrow so I brought Minhee home for her to take a proper rest. "Bye Min." She waved her hands in the air adorably and I let out a chuckle.

MINHEE'S P.O.V

As soon as I stepped foot into the house, I headed to my room, not wanting to get involved in another argument going on in my parent's room again.

I turned on my laptop and started crafting out a letter that I wanted to give to Jaehyun one day to show how much I love him. I also made an appointment with my doctor-in-charge tomorrow morning before my duty at the hospital. I have to know why I was feeling so much pain in my chest area. The pain can range from a squeeze in the heart to a stab in the heart.

Next day~

I was woken up by my parents' loud voices in the morning. When will they ever stop arguing? "We should tell her the truth!" I then heard a slam and it was silence once again. Now I was starting to get curious.

What truth? Who did they need to be honest to? I'm pretty sure they still hated me for poking my nose into their affairs so it shouldn't be me. I prepared myself before heading out the house and to the clinic where I normally do my health checks at.

It was the day of the appointment and I was really scared. Scared of what's coming my way. Is my condition more serious now? Is it just regular symptoms that a person with that disease will feel?

Turns out, my doctor told me something which I hoped I never knew.

This was the end.
