Babe, I Love You

A Second Chance?

PRESENT

"Yej, please... Can't you still love me even if I'm already married?"

Yejin's heart dropped after she heard Bin asking her that fucking question. She didn't see it coming! Like how could he ask this kind of indecent proposal to her?

She felt insulted by the fact that it came from the mouth of the man she thought who's different from her previous jerk exes. Yes, she can be a martyr or let herself be fooled when she's crazy in love with someone, but never in her life imagining herself to be a mistress. Well, who would want to?

She just wanted to be in a normal relationship like other women out there. To get married to the man she loves, have a baby girl who looked like her or a baby boy who looks after her husband, and live normally as they grow old together like her parents.

Go Soo's temper raised and lifts his fist ready to punch him, but he stopped when Yejin's right hand finds its way to Bin's face. She slapped him so intemperately that it left a red mark of palm on his skin. She did it because she got offended. Yes, she loves Bin, but this is too much!

"How dare you!?" Yejin yelled angrily with a provocative voice.

Bin lowered down his head while still kneeling on the wintry ground. He wanted to take back the question he asked, but it's already too late. Instead of trying to keep the woman who completes him, and he can't live without is now looking at him disgustingly.

His hands are on top of his bended knees while closing his eyes and biting his lower lip. Trying all his best to never let out any cries. Not wanting his uneven breaths to be heard. He wants to stand up because some little stones on the cold floor are slowly burying on his knees behind his pants. Yet, Bin is afraid to see her stormy face. He couldn't take seeing her eyes looking at him that way. Till she started ratting words again...

"Bin, please... Leave at least a little respect for me! Don't be selfish... Jaebal! I've had enough from you!" Yejin shouted and clamped her right fingers to Goo Soo's left hand. On purpose, she did it in front of him. Making sure he witnessed it with his two opened and wide eyes.

Go Soo was stunned and looked directly into Yejin's eyes. He felt the coldness of her hands along with her teary and red eyes. After a second, Bin stood up and shows his face that is full of regrets and despair while looking at their entwined fingers. He wants to punch Go Soo. He wants to separate their hands and pull Yejin closer to him, but he doesn't have the guts. His heart is in pain, feeling like someone is stabbing a knife multiple times in his heart. He wants to move, but he can't. He can't do anything at the moment.

Feeling satisfied with his reaction, Yejin then pulled Go Soo's hand and walk towards the exit gate of the hospital. Hyojin immediately followed them after they left Bin who's still not moving and looking at them leaving away.

The moment they stepped out of the hospital, Yejin lost her stand. Her legs soften to the point that she needs a hard wall to lean on. Her shoulders felt really down along with her heavy heart. She closed her eyes and holds her forehead, but before she could even fall on the ground, Hyojin and Go Soo assisted her right away.

"...Yej, are you sure you want to go home now? We can stay inside the hospital's lobby a little if you'd like." Hyojin suggested as she is very concerned seeing her best friend being so weak like this again.

Yejin tried to stand up straight while leaning to Go Goo's arms. "No... I'm okay. Let's go home." She answered strongly even though she's having a hard time clasping for air to breathe.

During their trip going to her flat with Hyojin and Go Soo, Yejin stared at the streets behind the taxi's window. Her whole system is still not coping up with everything that just happened in the hospital. She took a deep breath and shakes her head trying to get rid of Bin's question that is still dawdling in her mind.
