"so I pray this time
I can be the man that she deserves
'cause I die a little each time
When she cries."

The following day, I impulsively decided to pay Jaehyun a visit in the hospital. I simply want to gift him anything as an eloquence of my gratitude for the deeds that he has done for me.

I couldn't think of any material thing to purchase for him therefore I settled on buying a cake for him... and a chipmunk keychain that I would bet, he won't use.

Speaking frankly, I just got done from my classes in medical school. We were supposed to have a physical examination, but our professor in our anatomy subject didn't show up. It was still early for me to come home, so I decided to go all the way here to see Jaehyun.

The shameful thing is... he doesn't know any of this. This is an impromptu surprise that I came up with. Whether he will like it or not, I am unsure. Either way, I'm still going to do it.

I was about to enter the hospital premises when the guard stopped me.

"Ma'am, will you pay a visit to someone?"

I blinked, "Yes, I will..."

"A patient? If so, I am sorry because our visiting hours are already done."

"Uh–no. I'm visiting Dr. Jaehyun Jung," I clamp my lip.

The guard scratched his nap, "I'm so sorry, Ma'am, but I absolutely can't let you enter if you are not a medical personnel. I might get fired if I do."

"Oh..." I said anxiously, disheartened. "Is that so?"

"Yes, Ma'am, I'm sorry. But if it is important, you can call Dr. Jung so he could fetch you here."

I nodded and smiled, "Alright. Thank you! I'm just going to call him."

Seriously, what am I expecting? That I can surprise him smoothly? If only I knew this will happen, I could've just notified him about my plan on seeing him today.

But then, he's busy. I can't just call him suddenly. That is the reason why I went here without getting his content.

I dialed his number on my phone. He did not answer instantly. It took me 3 attempts before he finally answered it.

"Hello, Doc?" I started.

"Sorry. Busy. E.R.," He said swiftly. It is visible in his voice that he is tired.

"I understand, Doc. Uh... by the way, I am outside the hospital. I brought a..." I gulped, "Cake. My act of compensation,"

I heard him exhale–or more like sighed deeply from the other line.

"Can you hang on in there? I'll go there later. This won't take time." His tone is somehow, I don't know–nervous?

"Okay... Take your time. I'll wait,"
