A week Later
" Areumm"
" Shhhh.. She just closed her eyes.. Lower your voice.." I say in a low tone, when Jungkook calls my name.. He comes close to the bed slowly, and sees Aurora already sleeping in my arms.. He scrunches his face, along with his hands, just to avoid himself to take her right there, and squeeze until she disappear in his hand.. I glare at him.. " It's not my fault that you gave birth to a doll.. I want to squish those cheeks ugh, my hands are itching!!"
" DO NOT even think about it!! I'll ban you from seeing her, as I did with Oppa!!" Yoongi oppa literally bit her cheeks one day, obviously softly, but he couldn't control himself. So I told him to take her in his arms only when I'll be present.. I don't believe these weirdos..
" Okay okay, now when will she wake up?"
" Why? So that you can disturb her again?" He stops moving, and looks at me with puppy eyes.. " Do you really think so bad of me?"
I smile eye to eye, and nod.. " Yes.." His face straightens, and jaw clenched.. I lower my head to prevent him seeing my smile, while caresing Aurora's hair.. " Anyway.. I'll be the favorite baby of this house huh! Plus point I don't ruin bedsheets, and my family will love to carry me in their arms.." He raises his chin, and I give him a blank look.. He can't hold his straight face, and we both laugh, but of course silently..
"Seriously, ever since she came into this house, you guys totally forgot about me!!" I gasp..
" Jungkook!! Are you being serious? She's your niece and you're comparing her to you??!!"
" I- Ugh I didn't mean like that like.. Okay leave it.."
" No!! You're telling me she's taking your place!!"
" If she did, then I'm willing to give it to her.. And for your kind information she's not my niece.. She's my daughter.. Just because you guys had your sperm, and made her, doesn't mean I can't be his dad.. He's my daughter so you better take good care of her!" He gets up, and I blink sometimes.. " Okay Daddy.. I'll take good care of your daughter.. " I wink.. " But what about me, Daddy?" I bite my lips which make him cringe.. " You can fuck off!!" I burst out laughing, and he gets up..
He is about to leave, but stops.. " Areum.."
" Yes Daddy?" I say with a seductive tone.. He presses his lips, and is fuming.. " Can you go and fuck yourself? But before that, there's someone who wants to meet you.."
I stop joking around.. " Who?"
" Me.." Someone says in front of the door, and I look at her..
My mouth hang open.. " Maya??!" She gives me her brightest smile.. My eyes become a little blurry thinking she finally calmed herself down, and comes to me.. Maybe she also wants to start a fresh.. Maybe she still thinks we can get along.. " How are you, Areum?" She asks..
" As you can see.." I lift my arm a little, showing my baby.. " Just surviving, but.. Living the best day of my life.." No.. I won't stop showing her my happiness.. When she steps into my house, mean she already got the news, and took this normally.. And her smile proves me..
" Can I come?"
" Oh sure please! Jungkook.." I call him, and he moves a chair beside the bed, where Maya sits down.. She looks at me, and then looks at her.. " She's so beautiful.. Just like you.."
" But she got her father's features.." I look at Maya who just sighs..
I need to clear the air.. I look up.. " Jungkook.."
" ah yes!! You guys talk, I've to make some calls.." He leaves us for giving us some privacy.. Maya looks at the door, and then looks at me.. " I'm sorry.. I didn't reach you for a long time.. I thought you don't want to have any connection with me so-"
" Well I do think I shouldn't have any connection with you.." She says, and I sigh..
" But still.." She leaves a big sigh.. " We can't ignore each other like this forever right?"
I nod.. " I had my family with me.. They did everything for me to survive.. Still I betrayed them and tried to hurt them.." I close my eyes..
" Hmm Jimin told me.. Jimin, and Jungkook became close in recent days.." I smile.. " Who would've thought Jungkook would get along with Jimin who he really wanted to kill.."
" And who would've thought our life would turn upside down like this.." Maya lowers her head.. I'm trying my best not to break down in front of her.. Not to show her that I'm still mourning over him.. Because if she sees me still hurting like this, she won't move on.. I clutch Aurora closely to calm myself down.. " I still feel that if Taehyung would be here.. He would see all of this with his own eyes.. That all he wanted was a family, a baby, a happy family.. With good people surrounding him.. Everything is the same, but still nothing isn't same.." I sniff..
" All he wanted was a baby Areum.. And you gave him that.. I'm sure he's super happy for you guys from wherever he's right now.." My heart shatters.. I leave some shaky breaths..
" You know Maya.. If I only could, I would deal with the Lord, and I'd get Him swap our places.. I would bring him back here, and leave this world forever.. I would give my everything if I had a chance to bring him back.. I-"
Maya stands up, and softly hold my hand.. I can't handle it.. I cry in front of her.. Aurora's blanket starts soaking my tears.. She doesn't say anything, and let me cry.. " I'm really sorry Maya.. I really took your Taehyung from you and killed him.. I'm sorry please forgive me.. "
" No you didn't.. Calm down.. Whatever I had with him.. I'm happy about it.. I'm also happy for you that you gave him something that I couldn't give him.. Thank you Areum.." I look up at her, and see she's smiling with tears in her eyes.. " We may hate each other for the lifetime, but we would get nothing from that Areum.. We both know that very well.."
I can't control myself and spread my hands, and hug her closely.. She doesn't hesitate, and hugs me back.. We let go of each other, and show us our weakest part which we tried to hide for so long.. If Maya's hurting, so am I.. We both need to let things go.. Her, to live a better life.. And for me.. For me it's my Aurora..
We part, and she looks at her.. " She's so pretty.. Can I?" She asks..
" Of course!!" I give Aurora in her arms.. She's crying a little, but seeing her smile she stops crying, and looks at her.. " Your Dad loves you a lot Aurora you know that? And your Mom loves you more than him.." She looks at me, and I smile even when I am crying.. I look at them.. Maya can be such a great mom.. The way she holds her.. The way she's playing with her little hand.. She will be a great mother.. And at that moment it hit me..
" Maya?"
" Yeah? " She says while wiggling Aurora..
" Will you be Aurora's Godmother?"
-----------------------------------------------------------
Two years later
Aurora becomes 2 years old now.. Time really flies.. It was yesterday when I used to carry her everywhere.. And today she can walk here and there.. It's like a time lapse just in front of my eyes.. My whole family raised her so well.. Also she has two mothers..
Yes, when I asked Maya to be her godmother, she hesitated a lot, but eventually she was much more happy to accept my proposal. And Aurora loves her so much.. I can see the joy in her eyes whenever she sees Maya..
Everything is the same.. Except Namjoon Oppa, and Heejin got married a few months back, and we're just taking preparations for Yoongi Oppa's one.. He thought it's time for them to tie the knot..
Yoongi Oppa changes his district close to the asylum, so that he can keep an eye on me.. It was like winning a war when I said I want to join the asylum again.. First I still haven't recovered from trauma.. Second Aurora.. So what he had to do was moving Yuri Unnie with us.. She herself proposed to be the babysitter for Aurora, and I wouldn't find anyone better than her.. She treats her like a doll.. Being a fashion designer, and using her styles on her is like a daily thing to them.. My aurora sometimes does a ramp walk keeping a hand on her waist, and gives us a show..
Yoongi Oppa was taking time before taking a big step in his life.. He said he wanted to take a single step at a time.. And in the past few years he wasn't active that much, so his boss ordered him to focus on the cases more, than his own life.. Because his department doesn't give a fuck about his life or whatever happens with them.. But thanks to his hard work.. He got promoted in his department, and became a Deputy Magistrate.. We can't be less happy than ever.. After hearing the news 1st thing came on our mind for them to tie the knot as soon as possible..
Jungkook and Suzy are still the same.. Right now they're focusing on their career most.. Both of them want to be two successful doctors, and will one day run a hospital or asylum together..
Talking about asylum I joined as a psychiatrist.. After completing my study, and practice year, finally I became a successful doctor.. And I couldn't stay at Hobi's place for a long time, though he suggested, but still I had to come back here.. It's my root.. This is where I belong.. This is where I feel close to myself.. These people here, their sorrows, their pain keep me alive.. This is the place where I stopped thinking about myself.. This is the place where I was born once again.. This is the place where everything had started.. Everything.. The asylum..
I took a big sigh, and closed my eyes.. The asylum was renovated once again.. It doesn't look scarier like it used to.. Except the 4th floor.. I requested Namjoon Oppa to not do anything to that floor.. Let it stay like that.. That floor carries his memories.. I want to store them.. I take my chamber far away from the 4th floor.. But still I can watch that floor from my chamber's window..
I can still hear Jimin's laughs in the hallway.. How he used to scare the wardboys, and nurses.. He came back here to meet the doctors, and wardboys.. Everybody got so scared of him, but when he cleared his position all of them were shocked.. How could it be possible that a psycho like Jimin became a normal human being..
Jimin looked at me back then, and smiled.. He just said when everything seems dark to you, someone will come to you holding a little spark of light.. You just need to light it up..
Still I feel I didn't do anything here.. All I did was trust him.. Rest was done by Seokji..
Seokjin Oppa.. Kim Seokjin.. A name that everyone fears and respects.. But nobody talks about him right now.. I got to know he resigned from the asylum, and that time only Namjoon Oppa was the one who can run the asylum like it should, and he's doing a great job..
After that day I've never seen or heard of Seokjin.. I don't even want to.. He makes me feel that I lost my everything for him.. Even after till now I couldn't forgive him.. No I can't.. But I don't hold any grudge on him.. But this pain.. It'll be there till I take my last breath..
I'm in my chair looking outside, and lost in my thoughts, when Dasom knocks on my door.. I roll back my chair to see her.. " Found something?"
" Aish no.. He's not talking.. Seems like he's still traumatized.." She sighs, and sits on the chair on the other side of the table.. Dasom also joins as a doctor.. I couldn't lose such a gem, or in Hobi's words, A Kohinoor from my hand.. Besides, she wants to do something, and we've an asylum who needs a good and experienced doctor.. So I hire her immediately.. Also she wants to be close to Hobi, so it's like killing two birds with one stone.. It's been a year since they both got married, and I can see Hobi's cheeks hurt all the time because of how happy he's with her..
Currently she's working on a patient who came here as a normal person, but isn't saying anything.. Like he's dead from the inside.. " Why don't you do something he likes? See a movie, or play some games?"
" You think I didn't try? Everything you're gonna suggest to me I did all of them already.." She sighed..
" Hmm how about taking him out of here.. Maybe he's feeling suffocated.." Dasom looks at me, but she isn't looking at me.. It's like she's thinking.. " I think I can do that.. I've noticed he looks at the sky most of the time.."
" Maybe that sky can give you all the answers.." I wink, and she laughs.. " You're such a life saver, Areum.. Muah!!" She gives me a flying kiss..
" Aren't you extra happy today?" I wiggled my brows.. Of course she will.. She's going to give Hobi some news he can't even think of!!..
" I-"
" Ma'am.." My assistant cut her words.. " Do you need something?"
" Well someone is here to meet you.. I told him you'll be busy but he said it's urgent and he won't take time.. Also he said you know him personally.." It makes me confuse.. " I'll take my leave then.." Dasom says and smiles.. She gets up, and leaves the room..
" Bring him in.." I say, and roll the chair to see the outside again.. I wonder who that will be..
*Knock*
*Knock*
" Come in.." I hear some footsteps, confirming that the person is in front of my table.. I roll my chair.. " How may I-" My eyes widen.. " YOU??!!"
( The lips are... So kissable oh God!!)
I stand there on my feet.. Can't even move from my ground.. I can't even know what I'm feeling right now.. It's like I want to say so many things but nothing comes out at that moment.. My eyes shake a little, when he blinks once.. My chest tightens, and I let out a big sigh.. " How.. How may I help you?" I ask again..
" I come here to see you.." He says lowly.. I gasped.. " Well you've seen me already.. I think you won't need me for anything.. Please leave.." I say politely, and sit on the chair, rolling back..
" Areum I need to talk to you, and it's imp-"
" Mr. Kim, as far I know you resigned from here, and I'm not running this asylum, I'm not anyone from the management department.. Again I assume you're not feeling any psychological problems so you'll talk to me about your problem. So I think we have nothing in common that will lead us in any conversation.. So telling you politely again.. Please leave the room.."
" No Areum!! I came here not to talk about anything you've mentioned.. I came here to talk about something I should do sooner.." I can't see his face, but I can hear his deep hoarse voice change a little.. His voice becomes a little heavy, but I don't say anything..
" And why would I listen to you?"
" Because.."
" Yes.. Tell me why would I waste my time on you?" I roll my chair to face him.. He dares to meet my eyes.. Where he can see only hatred for him, which once used to have respect, and affection..
" I'm sorry Areum.. I know from where all of this is coming.. An apology won't be enough but-"
" There.. You've said it by yourself.. Your apology means nothing to me.." I cut him..
" But to me it means a lot.. I need to clarify everything.. I need to clear my position here.."
" You don't need to.. I understand.. Whatever you did, you did it for your ego.."
" Still.. I want to.." All I want now is him out of my sight.. I sigh, and nod my head, still facing the window..
He leaves a sigh.. " If I ever knew things would be like this, I would reveal who I was long ago.. I would be the one to catch him, and bring him to you Areum.. I admit I was stubborn.. I admit I wasn't thinking properly.. But that doesn't change the fact that my affection for you was fake.. No.. I was, I still want the best for you.. And if that counts to stay away from you, then I'll.. But-"
" Yes you're right.. You should.. " I get up, and look back at him.. " You should stay away from me.. You know why?" I come beside the table..
" Because who wouldn't even think before killing his own brother for a second, who would sacrifice him just to satisfy his ego.. Who am I to him.. I'm nothing compare to him Mr. Kim.." I slowly take steps towards him..
" You wanted to apologize right? What would happen if I forgive you? Can you bring back my dignity that I had lost to him? Can you bring back those times that I just wanted to die? Can you bring back me, that I've lost years ago? Can you-" My voice breaks..
" Can you bring back Taehyung, your long lost younger brother? Tell me Mr. Kim.. Can you bring back those? If you can't, what I'm gonna do with your apology? To get closure? Mr. Kim I forgot about you the last time I saw you.. I've moved on not caring about your apology.. Your apology means nothing to me Mr. Kim.. Nothing.." He lowers his head, and closes his eyes..
I sigh, wiping my tears and I look at him.. " Do you want something else? Or you can take your leave.." I say, fixing my apron..
" If I ever get a chance to do something for you.. I would bring back something you're mourning for.. Maybe that will repay my sins.. I promise.." He gulps..
" You can't.. If there was a chance, I would do that already.. Still thanks for thinking this way.." I smile bitterly..
" Only time will heal people, Areum... Time is the best storyteller.. I'm taking my leave.." With that saying, he leaves the room.. I look at the door for a while, and sigh.. I hope I won't see his face anymore..
I really hope..
-----------------------------------------------
Two Weeks Later
I'm walking through the way that leads to the main door of this building. Wearing an extra long coat that keeps me warm from the fall season. My boots are crushing the snow beneath it. My face skin is burning because of the excess cold I'm feeling but I can't give my attention to that because this attention deserves someone else, well people of course. I climb the staircase and am walking through the corridor where so many lives are dealing with this hell. If it was about 6 to 7 years back, I would react differently, But now as I've become a psychiatrist here.. A certified doctor.. I try to show them how much I can feel their pain..
I look at them directly looking at their eyes,.. I say nothing, just let them feed me the anger they were holding.. As I'm doing right now.. " We met again I see.." The boy behind the bar said nothing, just took some shaky breaths..
" I'll tell Jungkook to let you go outside for a while.. Okay?" I smile, and turn back to walk again.. I can hear him saying something, but I don't care.. I know sometimes I give them fake hopes, and they hate me.. But they trust me enough to believe that one day I'll be the one who'll set them free.. Just as I did with Jimin, just as I did with Taehyung..
I still think about him from time to time.. How can I not.. Aurora is becoming just like her father.. Her behavior, facial expression is becoming like him.. It makes it hard to forget about him.. Because he won't be here when I'll raise her..
Right?
I hang the coat on the hanger, and my phone, and purse on the table.. I make my hair a loose ponytail, to become comfortable.. I still don't use a mirror, so I don't care how tf I'm looking..
I sit on my chair, and leave a big sigh when my phone rings.. I take the phone, and my face brightens.. " Good Morning Baby~" I say..
" Mamma~" A just woke up Aurora comes on the screen rubbing her eyes.. " When did you wake up sweetheart? Did you take your breakfast?"
" No.. I won't.. eat.." She says with a pout..
" Why baby? don't you like what Mamma cooked for you?" I get anxious.. I know I'm not good at cooking, but still I tries..
" Baby?" She says nothing, and wanders on the screen, when I realize she starts playing.. " Aurora.. No game before breakfast.." I narrow my eyes, when she looks at me..
" I want chocolates.. I won't eat eggs that stink!!" She makes a poker face, raising her head a little, just like her father used to do..
" But baby I'll eat the same thing I made for you.. Do you think I'll make something that my Aurora can't eat, hmm?" She lowers her head, and shakes..
" You don't have an appetite?"
" When you.. come back?" Her lips bent down, that breaks my heart.. I can't lose this job, but I need to spend time with my daughter too.. It's been tough for me to become a working single mother..
" How about I ask Yuri Eomma to make you some chocolate pudding, and by the time you finish it, I'll be in front of your eyes okay?" Her eyes grew wider, and she nods repeatedly.. I chuckle, when Jungkook knocks on my door, with a file in his hand.. I asks him to come here..
" My Angel!!! That's my toy!" Jungkook points to a rubix cube behind her.. Turns out she loves color so much, that my house has already become an art gallery.. Also she loves to solve puzzles, so I bought her a rubix cube which she's been trying to solve for the past a week with Jungkook.. He's new in this sector too lol
" It's mine" She whines, and we chuckle.. " But you can't solve it alone little girl huh.." He winks..
" I will.. I don't need you" She pokes out her tongue.. Jungkook narrows his eyes, and pulls out something from his pocket.. " Hmm I was thinking of eating these chocolates, and helping you solve the cube, but it looks like I'll have to eat the chocolate alone.." I covered my mouth to see how Aurora smiles drops, also she starts thinking something.. " Mamma~"
" Yes baby?"
" I.. I mish you" She says with a pout.. She's holding the cube, and raising it to me.. " Solve this for me.." We both laugh.. That's like my girl.. Nobody can bribe her, when her mom can give her the whole world..
" Of course baby.. Do you need anything else?" She nods.. " I want chocolate.." She looks at Jungkook, then at me..
" Oh I'm so sorry baby but I can't go outside right now.. But.." I wiggle my brows.. " How about.." I look at Jungkook who is admiring Aurora closely, and he doesn't realize when I snitch the chocolate from his hand.. " We've got a bunny here who brought this for you!!" I laugh, and he gets a shock.. Aurora starts jumping, and I can see Yuri come on the screen..
" Aurora baby stop jumping you'll fall" She sits her down, when she looks at the screen, and I wave at her.. " So this is the reason for her screams I see.."
( Don't judge me to put IU as Yuri.. She's so cute please)
" Mamma give me chocolate!! I want to go!!" She hugged Yuri Unnie, and looks at me..
" You want to go to your Mamma?" She nods her head, and looks at me.. " Unnie, bring her here.. We'll do lunch outside today.." I offer, and Aurora starts clapping her hands, while jumping
" Aish what I'm gonna do with you!! Okay I'm coming.." She smiles.. " Hide the chocolate from Kookie!!" Aurora screams..
" It's Uncle Jungkook for you little bunny!!" He scrunches his nose, and Aurora poked her tongue again, and cut the call..
" You!!" I start laughing seeing these two never get along, still can't stay away from each other.. He narrows his eyes at me.. " Okay Okay sorry.. You guys looks so cute together.."
" Once let me marry Suzy, and pop out my own child.. Then we'll seek revenge on both of you.." He huffs, and I shake my head.. " Stop talking and marry her already.. Have you seen her become silent these days? What are you waiting for Kookie?"
" For a special day.. Or specific.. For a special person.." He sighs..
" Special person?" I knit my brows..
" Nothing.. I came here to give you this.. There's a new patient here, and you need to testify him 1st.." He throws a bluish file on the table.. I take the file.. The file is so flimsy, looks nothing like an ordinary file our asylum provides ..
With a Lilly art on the cover page?? " A summary please?" I ask
" Open the file, you'll get that too.." He tears the chocolate packet and bite down the chocolate..
" Hey, that's my daughter's!!" I shout.. He rolls his eyes and starts eating the chocolate.. I left a big sigh, and opened the file..
" I'll teach Aurora to steal all of your cho-" I stop.. I stop when I start reading the file.. Looks like I came back long away from the present.. My hands start shaking, when my heart feels like a running train.. I murmur the exact lines that are written on the paper..
Name: Wind Prince
Age: Older than you huh
Nationality: Korean
Disability(or ability?): Blindly in love with you (Last Stage)
Parents: You'll meet soon
State when found : Mourning over when I saw you were not beside me when I opened my eyes.
With a piece of paper written..
" I'm waiting for you, you know where.." *with a wink*
I shot a look at Jungkook who was smiling at me, while eating the chocolate.. " Want some?" He offers, and my breath fastens..
" I- Is it?" I ask in a low tone.. He doesn't say anything and nodded with a smile.. I stand up from my seat and turned back to my window.. I clutch the grills way too harshly, and look at the same floor.. 4th floor, 7th corridor, room number 6..
Room number 476..
I turn back, and leave my room. I don't even care what Jungkook is saying.. I run until I reach the front of the elevator.. My state makes everyone wonder what has happened to me.. I wish I let them realize..
The sound echoes my eardrum, and my heart feels cold to me.. It's hard for me to breathe.. I enter the tiny room, and pressed the button which took me to the 4th floor.. All the time my whole body is shaking, and I can't even process anything..
When the elevator door opens, I run pushing everyone from my site, I run and run.. Because of my running I bump into a nurse, and whatever is in hand, falls down on the ground.. She calls my name, but I don't care..
My feet slower when I reach the 7th corridor.. I start to scan each room until I'm in front of the room..
Room number 476..
Still is the same it used to.. The broken door is reshaped, and become even stronger now, but not more than me.. The peephole is still there when I bent down, and tries to look through the hole.. I see nothing.. Nothing except dark pitch black..
My heart feels in my abdomen, on a barge of shattering in pieces, when I take some deep breath.. I gulp harshly, and touched the door knob.. Fuck it!!
I push the door hard, and it swing open.. Took me a while to look inside.. My eyes adjust the darkness, but I think it's a nightmare dressed as a dream?
My eyesight is deceiving me..
In the long run I'm panicking a lot.. My heavy breaths echoes the room, when I see a figure.. A figure showing me it's back.. The features telling me it's a man.. When he hears my breath, he turns slowly.. My breath get stuck..
" Tae-Taehyung.."
