"Taehyun?"
"Taehyun, are you with me?"
Doctor Shin tapped the male's shoulders as soon as he realized that he completely turned frozen upon seeing his twin brother lying on the bed. He's expecting this reaction anyway. It's a miracle that Taehyun entered the room. He can wait at the lobby and ask the doctor what's Tae Jun's condition, but he instead went ahead to his room.
Taehyun shakes his head, "I'm sorry, my mind suddenly got occupied," he apologized. "What happened to him?" he asked.
Doctor Shin wanted to dodge that question, but he couldn't. "Are you sure you are asking the real thing?" he asked, wondering.
Taehyun scowled, wrinkles formed on his forehead. "What's the matter? Am I not allowed to know his condition?" he asked with an irritant voice.
[Why do I feel like they are hiding something from me?]
DICCU: Well, I suggest you need to find out first what happened to Tae Jun and Taehyun in the past
This made Jinli's face straightened. She really didn't know what happened between the twins in the past. And after seeing that quick preview from Tae Jun and Taehyun's past, she became more intrigued.
He turned his eyes back to the man wearing a white coat in front of him. "Can I go and see him?" he asked. It made Doctor Shin nervous and speechless for a minute before he nodded his head. He guided the male towards the bedside.
Taehyun slowly walked, every step was heavy like there were magnets pulling him back. However, he will not turn his back. He will unfold the real story.
The white sheets of the bed match his pale skin, as if it was like snow, fragile and soft. His sleeping face was peaceful. Taehyun paused, scanning the male he saw for the first time. Just like him, he had a small face and plum lips. Curly light brown hair and lashes under perfect arched eyebrows.
Taehyun had small, thin shoulders while this male had a medium body. The beauty mark under his left eye caught his attention too. 'So this is Tae Jun, my twin brother'
A rage of anger crawled inside him. He unconsciously clenched his fist. Feeling a needle like, pricking his heart. Jinli didn't know but it feels like the real Taehyun's emotions are still lingering inside her. He felt his eyes became sore and before he could realize it, he was already crying.
Seeing this, Doctor Shin became worried. He stepped between them and said, "You don't need to push yourself, let's talk at my office,"
Taehyun was also speechless. He was stunned from his sudden emotions, piling up. He glanced at Tae Jun's hands, which had some tubes connected to the machines and apparatus from the other side of the bed.
His right hand irked, wanting to hold the male's hand. He wanted to feel his warmth and touch his cheeks. He wanted to feel Tae Jun, but he was scared. Taehyun wasn't seeing Tae Jun as his twin brother, he was like a glass. Too fragile, he might break.
"I'm scared," Taehyun mumbled, his hands trembled.
For the first time, Doctor Shin saw this new side of Taehyun. The male was making a panicked expression in front of his twin brother. He then remembered that he had the same medicine Taehyun was taking. He grabbed the male's arms, "Taehyun, calm down...Follow me"
Taehyun didn't protest at all, he followed the doctor silently. Only hearing their footsteps until they reached a new door. Both of them entered. Taehyun first noticed the post it notes and then the piled up folders on the desk. There are tall drawers in the corner, some are closed and some are opened. The office was painted in clear white, making the light brighter.
"Please take a seat, sorry for the mess…" Doctor Shin stretched a smile and proceeded to scan the folders near his computer. He put on his glasses and started to sort the files.
"Is he always asleep? Unconscious?"
Doctor Shin stopped scrolling. He placed his palm on one of the documents on the desk. "No," he replied shortly. He fixed his glasses and glanced at Taehyun, "Are you still taking your medicines?"
Then Taehyun remembered the medicines Soheun was always giving him after every meal. He assumed that it was the answer. "Yes," he replied.
"How about today?" Doctor Shin asked again. The male got here too early.
"I-I forgot," Taehyun replied shortly.
'I expected this' Doctor Shin thought. That's why Taehyun became restless when he saw Tae Jun. What more if the male awakens? That will literally lead them to another---he shakes his head, not even wanting to think about it anymore.
He opened the drawer under his desk and took a white small container. He first read its label and then he took a bottle of water from the mini refrigerator in the corner of his office.
"Take this and rest there for the meantime,"
Taehyun took the round white tablet from the doctor's palm. He recognized it, the same medicine he was taking. "Thank you," he delivered it to his mouth and drank the water.
"What kind of medicine was that? Why do I have to take it everyday? Am I ill?" Taehyun asked continuously. He put down the bottle of water on the empty chair next to him. He didn't wait for a response. He lifted his butt from the chair and approached the desk. "What are you doing, Doctor Shin?" he asked.
"I told you to rest for the meantime," The doctor didn't even look at him as he was busy scrolling on his monitor. "I am checking the latest report about Tae Jun these past few days, Didn't Soheun told you tha---" he froze, cutting his words.
"Soheun told me what?" Taehyun protested. He became more curious and nervous at the same time.
Their eyes met, silence filled the atmosphere. No one wanted to talk first. Until the door opened, spitting a man with a medium body built. He had his wavy ash brown hair tied upwards. He was only wearing a white shirt and black pants.
Taehyun widened his eyes, surprised. "Soheun?! You're here!" he exclaimed.
