"Hello?" Y/n answers as she finally gets her hands on her ringing phone. Sangwoo had moved it out of her reach and the nurses were reluctant to help her up so that she could retrieve it on her own. They had somehow discovered that she was a workaholic and wanted her to rest as much as possible. So, Y/n resorted to struggling out of bed and doing whatever she could to get to her device. Eventually, the group of nurses made the quick and most obvious solution to simply get the phone for Y/n.

"Is this Miss L/n Y/n?" A slightly familiar older male voice huffs through the phone.

"Yes, that's me," Y/n responds. A strong sense of dread weighs down in her stomach. It's similar to the feeling a mother gets when something is wrong with her child, only, she has a feeling that JoJo is fine. "Has something happened? This isn't about a Mr. Oh Sangwoo is it?"

The man on the other line holds back his surprise. "Yes, something has occurred, Ms. L/n. This call is to ask you to report to the police station immediately for questioning. But, don't worry. We don't think you're a criminal, we just want to know the truth."

Y/n gasps and her heart picks up its pace, pounding hard in her chest. "And what about Sangwoo? You're not trying to accuse him of something are you?!"

The officer feels pity for the young woman. He doesn't think Sangwoo, the boy he had looked over since his parents died, would ever cause that same pain to someone else. He really is just a sweet kid. "I'll see you at the station, Ms. L/n. The sooner you arrive, the better."

Y/n's hands clench the hospital bed sheets. "I can't. I can't go."

"Pardon?"

"I'm in the hospital. I'm not allowed to go anywhere at the moment unless I'm in a wheel chair. I'd never be able to make it there on my own."

"We'll send a van over."

"Really? Thank you so much, Officer! Is it possible for me to speak to Sangwoo or at least hear his voice? I'm really worried about him."

The man grunts and Y/n waits patiently without. Some rustling is heard and it seems like the phone was passed. "Sangwoo? What happened? Are you okay?" She asks without taking a single breath.

"I'm fine, Y/n. Don't worry about me." His voice is more husky than usual and it sounds like something is obstructing is mouth, causing him to slur his words a little.

"You're only worrying me more! What the hell happened??" Y/n warily holds the phone up to her face with both hands. All this stress is probably terrible for her health, but that's the last thing on her mind right now. Her head is full of thoughts of Sangwoo.

"Babe, calm down. There was just an intruder, yknow breaking and entering, and I just had to use a little bit of self defense." Sangwoo glares at Seungbae as he talks in the softest and most caring tone to his future wife. He can't help but smile. Talking on speaker phone has never felt so good. "Don't worry anymore, I just want you to get some rest before coming here."

"But what if I can't help you?" She cries pathetically. "What would I do without you? You know I hate being without you. And what are we going to do about JoJo... I'll have to find someone to pick him up from school."

"Babe, everything will be fine. An officer said he will go to pick up JoJo and I'm sure this whole situation is a misunderstanding."

"You know how I feel about the police. Especially that creepy one that was stalking me." Y/n sighs shakily, "You know, I dreamt of him coming to visit me while at the hospital. I'm starting to think that it wasn't a dream anymore."

"I'll be right next to you the entire time. No one will hurt or even be able to touch my wife-to-be."

Y/n's heart calms thanks to his kind words. More steadily yet shyly, she says "I love you." 

"Love you too. I'll make sure to show you just how much once we go home tonight."

Flustered, Y/n bites her lip and pulls her blankets up to her chest. "M- my leg is still healing," she says softly.

Smirking, Sangwoo promises, "I'll be gentle."

The cop quickly ends the call and looks around the room awkwardly. All the other officers look just uncomfortable as him, especially Seungbae. This will be a hard one to get out of.
