Yoonmin- Delusions [M.YG • P.JM]

25- Jibeum pt.2 🔙

Jibeum's POV
-6 years ago-

"I'll see you on Friday, the same time as always," I told my patient before exiting.

I made sure the door was locked, and turned on my heel to-

"Whoa," I exclaimed as I almost bumped into Sungjae, who seemed to have been standing there until I came out. What the hell was he doing?

"Where are you headed right now?" He asked, not even bothering to apologize or explain himself.

"My office?"

He had a disappointed look on his face. "You don't want to eat lunch with me today?"

No, I don't I want to eat with a pedophile.

"I really have a lot of paper work I need to do. Sorry, rain check?"

He sighed and gave in. "Fine."

"Thank you." I turned around and heard him mumble what I got as 'fevenlib.' I was confused and didn't ask what he said, but instead went to hide in the safety of my office.

Upon entering my office, I was immediately met with a sweet smell. I was known for my strong sense of smell among my friends, it was one of the things I was proud of.

My eyes landed on a small, white cardboard box, a note slipped under it. Setting down my coffee on the desk, I slid out the note.

Jibeum-oppa, I hope you'll accept my gift. I stayed up all night making it <3

Does someone in the hospital admire me? But I have a wife, I can't look at another woman.

Untucking the flaps of the box, a strawberry short cake was revealed. It doesn't count as cheating to eat a cake, right?

I pulled out my drawer to look for a fork I knew I kept in here...There it is.

I quickly picked up a large piece of the cake with the fork and held it to my nose to smell. It's scent was very sweet, strawberry very evident. The added drizzle of strawberry syrup was a nice touch. Finally, I let the piece fall into my mouth, and I was met with insane deliciousness. It was extremely sweet, like she added extra sugar or flavoring. Swallowing the chewed cake, I quickly noticed something wasn't right.

It suddenly became harder to breathe. I immediately knew I was poisoned, and it's gradually killing me. Fast.

I took a pen from and began quickly writing on the first paper I found:

Poisoned not suicide please tell my wife I love her and our baby

My throat closed and I was fighting for air. I fell back onto my chair and wheeled until I hit the shelf behind me. I scratched at my throat in desperation. I wanted this to be over with, I couldn't bear it anymore. It has to be Sungjae who did this, right? He's the only person who has it out for me.

My eyes rolled back as everything became blurry and darker. I knew this was it. I couldn't even speak my last words. I closed my eyes and waited for my final moments to be over.

God, how I wanted to be with my family right now. This is how I'm gonna go? By eating a cake so sweet I couldn't notice the poison?

I laughed in my mind until it went blank.

Sungjae's POV

I checked the time on my watch as I leaned my back against the wall, tapping my foot. Shouldn't he done with paperwork by now?

I went to the floor of his office, walking fast-paced towards it. I knocked, waiting for a 'come in.'

Wait. Huh?

I twisted the knob and swung the door in, revealing Jibeum's unconscious body on his chair.

At first, I was shocked. Then I became relieved.

I quickly rushed to him and shook him. "Jibeum! Yah! Somebody help!"

Footsteps were quick to follow after my cry for help, and I tried compressions. There were scratch marks along his neck and a half eaten cake on his desk. Did he choke on it? But it's so soft...

I look over my shoulder, and as if it were out of a movie, there stood Dr. Kim smirking at the deed I assume was her doing.

These chapters are short because I don't want to make the flashback too long :/
