16 {Finally}

YOUR P.O.V

I went to work as usual after my appointment at the clinic in the morning. The day seems a little gloomier than before.

I met Jaehyun at the entrance of the hospital and we decided to walk in together. "Jaehyun, I have something to tell you."

He looked at me with wide eyes and asked me what was wrong. I giggled and told him about my one-week vacation to Australia getting approved by the hospital and I will be going over in about two weeks' time.

He heaved a sigh of relief but looked at me annoyed. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I could've gotten a week's worth of vacation too. We can go on a couple trip!" he whined. I laughed at his silly action of holding both my hands and swinging it back and forth as he complained.

I went over to the counter and got my patients' info before doing my rounds at the hospital as usual. The patients must be sick at the sight of me. I'm even sick at the sight of myself.

"Dr Minhee, when can I be discharged?" This was the third time a patient has asked me this question today. My answer will always be the same. "Of course it's when you recover."

If you're wondering why I was dealing with adult patients, a doctor had resigned and I had to step in as a substitute for the time being. I gladly agreed because Jaehyun was in the same department.

Tonight, my parents had demanded for me to return home for dinner. They said we were going to have guests. I wonder who.

Recently, my feelings for Jaehyun has reached a whole new level. I feel as though I'm on cloud nine whenever we had skinship, or whenever he showers me with compliments, even about the tiniest things.

He always tells me I'm beautiful, and I really appreciate his effort for trying to keep me away from depression and suicide. He thinks he is hiding his real motive really well but I could easily see through him.

Sometimes, he even leaves little notes on my office table, asking me out for lunch and dinner, as well as how my day was. All these little efforts have accumulated into so much love for him. I would be at my wits end if I were to ever lose him one day.

It was as though he was tattooed in my heart. This feeling will never be erased from my mind. I will stay strong for you Jaehyun.

It was already time to head home and it was my turn to do a little something for Jaehyun.

Dear Jae,
Hi love. I will be going home for a family dinner tonight. Don't wait up for me! Take your dinner and rest well! Love you! I really do.
Minhee

As i finished the note, I went over to Jaehyun's office table before going back to mine to pack up some files that I needed to bring home for reference. I noticed a small little pink note at the corner of my table.

Dear Min,
Babe I have family matters tonight so I won't be able to accompany you for dinner. Please eat well! I love you. A lot.
Bae Jae

I laughed at how he signed off his note. What a coincidence. Usually, I would keep his notes in a little box in my drawer. Now I have piles of them, all multi-coloured. At any time if I was thinking of Jaehyun, I would whip the box out and go through some of the notes, then make a mental note to take care of myself for Jaehyun.

I exited the hospital with my office bag and took my usual route home. If Jaehyun was here, he would suggest stopping by the little ice-cream cart just situated outside or stop by the park to have a mini date for relaxation's sake.

I smiled to myself at the thoughts that I was having. While replaying out fluffy scenes in my mind, I realised I already reached the front door of my house.

As I opened the door, I heard someone wailing and a figure was blocking the rest of my view.

Jaehyun.

"Babe, what are you doing here?" I questioned. I felt the most confused I have ever felt in my life. Jaehyun was crying.

"Jae, what's wrong? Why are you at my house? I thought you had family matters." I reached out and used my thumb to wipe his tears off.

As I entered the house, Jaehyun yanked my arm and turned me around. "No matter what happens, I will always love you. Please only remember that."

"Mom, dad, what's going on?" At this point of time, I saw Jaehyun's parents sitting on the couch. Jaehyun's mother had her face buried in her hands while his father sat there, wide-eyed with his jaw dropped.

"This day finally came."

A/N:
I already have another story ready to share! Follow me so you know when I will update that! It will be based on my real life 'love' story that didn't really boil up to anything but I wanted to share it.
Also, I'm in urgent need of a compilation of Jae's little smile whenever he does the 'cherry' part in the little dance break.
