the pregnant virgin | taesoo

[thirty]

chaeyoung was outside his door for an hour straight but he still didn't open the door. there was a possibility that he might not be home but his car was out front so she thought that he was just holed up inside his bedroom.

after a while, she gave up on knocking and took a seat on the chair beside his door. she closed her eyes and leaned against the wall behind her.

all this time she knew that jungkook wasn't going to open the door so she tried texting him instead.

hey, jungkook. how's your morning|

message not sent

chaeyoung deleted the text, how could she be so stupid. of course his morning has totalled to crap. he couldn't get over his cheating girlfriend in less that's 24 hours.

do you want to go out for coffee|

message not sent

again, she felt even more stupid. he rejected her for dinner, what makes her think he's going to agree to coffee. her thumbs lingered over the keyboard as she thought long and hard about what to say to him.

it was now noon and she still hasn't thought of something decent to say to him. she thought maybe he just wanted space and that's why he's not answering her calls or opening the door.

and so she figured that it's best to leave him alone and maybe when he's ready to talk to him then. but the other side of her mind was refusing to do so, she didn't want to leave him to wallow in self hate and sadness.

she went home and made for him some chicken soup because she had this feeling that he didn't eat. she drove back to his place and put it down in front of his door.

i made you chicken soup. you may have to reheat it if it's too cold. drink a lot of water and don't hate yourself too much, okay? call me if you need anything.

message sent

after sending the message, she waited in her car until she saw that the message was read. he left her on read but she's at least glad that he read it. it's progress.

chaeyoung drove away from his place but stopped where she could see him. she watched him open the door and pick up the carrier bag.

he began to look around the neighbourhood and so she quickly drove away.

chaeyoung made her way to the hospital for work and quickly settled in. she was a little bit late but it's not like she cared anyways.

she sat down in her office and put on a great smile for her first patient. she couldn't let personal issues interfere with her work. it took her a long time to separate the two and she didn't want to give up now.

a little while later, chaeyoung was roaming the hospital after drowning herself in reports and documents. she had so much work to do and she planned to stay late in order to get most of it done.

"hey, chae. how'd it go?" jisoo said. they bumped into each other at the receptionist desk where they stopped for a little chat with the nurses.

"okay." chaeyoung nodded. "i can imagine how he must be feeling so i'm just giving him some space right now."

"that's a good idea. i gotta go, but i'll see you later."

"actually, i'm going to stay late to finish some work so go home without me." she told jisoo.

luckily, jisoo was understanding and so she nodded her head and walked away.

the hours passed and soon it was 10 o'clock. chaeyoung yawned and leaned her head on the table, exhaustion was really starting to overcome her.

a knock on the door caused her to jolt up and almost drop her coffee on to the floor.

"did i startle you? sorry." minjun raised his hand and sheepishly chuckled. "aren't you going home? you never stay this late."

"i got a lot of work to do." chaeyoung slurred, she was still half asleep.

"okay, well you have a visitor downstairs. they really wanna see you."

just as chaeyoung was going to ask who it was, minjun walked out the door with a hand to his lips and that aggravated her even more. her door was transparent and so on the other side of the glass minjun was doing a weird dance and making funny faces. she grabbed her pen and faked throwing it at him and he walked away sensibly as senior doctors walked past him.

chaeyoung giggled quietly and packed her things away. she would be kidding herself if she thought she could get all this work done in one night. even if she pulls an all nighter, there still would be more work to do. so she decided to call it a day and go see that visitor minjun was on about.
