"What do you want to talk about?"
The air whispered to his ears as he tugged his scarf more. The weather has been getting colder and colder these past few days. He remained in his seat. Waiting for the man in front of him to say something. He shouldn't be here, but because of Tae Jun's favors, he went.
The man across the table lowered his head with his sullen eyes. He tightened the grip on his coffee. "I-I'm sorry" Soheun said. "I shouldn't have done that in front of him and to you," his voice started to become hoarse.
"That's not what I want to hear,"
Soheun automatically raises his head. Looking straight into Taehyun's eyes. He showed this surprised look before opening his mouth again. "What?"
The clattering sounds of the coffees and utensils from the other table rang in the atmosphere. The customers ordering sweets are getting crowded and the empty tables are now occupied. Taehyun turned his gaze outside the glass wall, observing his thin silhouette on the reflection.
He remained silent while the other male glanced at him with sad eyes. When he felt his chest turn calm and lighter, he shot a glance at Soheun. "I know you didn't mean it," he said.
Hearing these words, Soheun felt guilty for his actions. The twins already forgave him, but it was still weighing heavily on his chest. He felt like he's the reason why this was happening at all. He clasped his fist under the table. "I want to see him before everything else," he mumbled. "Can I see him?"
Taehyun clenched his jaw. He breathed, calm but heavy. "Why are you asking me that? Of course you can see him, his lover after all," he uttered.
"We already broke up,"
Taehyun widened his hands and slammed the table. "What?!" he exclaimed.
He thought that the two only got into a small argument and he's here because he wanted the two to make up before everything happens. That sudden confession of heartbreak from Soheun jolted inside him, which made it more difficult to breathe. He slumped down unconsciously with his uneasy expression. "You're joking, right?" he uttered.
Soheun twitched his eyes, preventing it from crying. "I-I wish this is j-just a joke," he stammered.
'Why did it end up like this? I did everything for them to make up. Is this why Tae Jun didn't want to talk about their relationship in front of me? I want them to at least embrace each other for the last time. Is it very hard for them to stay with each other? I thought I already did everything that Tae Jun wanted? Is this one of his wishes too?'
Jinli was full of thoughts. Her consciousness is now mixing with the emotions of the real Taehyun. If this world will fail, it's okay for her. She can face any punishment just to let the two stay with each other.
"This is what he wanted," Soheun mumbled. His voice cracked. "I-I'm sorry,"
'DING! BREAKMETER REACHED 100%'
'CONGRATULATIONS HOST!!'
YOU COMPLETED THE MISSION!!! THE MALE CHARACTER ALREADY GAVE UP HIS LOVE FOR YOU'
DICCU: Jinli!! Hurry!! You don't have enough time!!! If you want to see Tae Jun, gooo!!
As soon as he heard the system and Diccu, his legs moved on their own. Dashing outside, startling Soheun, who followed behind him. "Taehyun!!!!"
Taehyun gasped, not even giving attention to the cold weather. He's not expecting that the break meter will reach 100% like this. He thought that he still had time to say goodbye before he went. It seems like he's the one who'll leave first.
He turned and tried to remember the way. The hospital isn't that far from the cafe he's in so he can dash there quickly. "Tae Jun, you idiot!" Suddenly he stumbled down.
Taehyun winced upon feeling something sore on his knees. He lifted his head and saw the big sign of the hospital in front of him. He gritted his teeth.
DICCU: Jinli, hurry!! He's in the emergency room!! Hurry if you want to see him
Taehyun stood up, but when he lowered his sight. He saw something white and soft falling from the sky. He opened his hand and saw the particles of snow touching his skin. Its coldness made him numb, like a warm heart wanting to turn cold.
"Taehyun!!" Soheun dashed towards him and supported him to stand. He was about to lift Taehyun when he was pushed. "I need to see him!!"
After saying that, Taehyun dashed inside. The guards were almost stunned. It also surprised the people in the hospital to see the famous actor Taehyun Hwang. Some of them got their phones and took some photos.
He didn't mind it at all. Taehyun had no time for this. He's going to advance, anyway. Soheun, who's trying to follow him, tried to at least make a way for him. The crowd started to get thicker and more people were screaming for an autograph.
Taehyun slammed his palm on the reception desk. "What floor is the emergency room?!" The nurse there seemed stunned. "Hurry!! Please!!"
"I'm sorry sir, it's on the 3rd floor, right corner!" the nurse exclaimed.
The male gasped and mumbled, "Thanks" then he dashed to the elevator. The first one is full. He tried the second one, it's still on the 5th floor. He had no time to wait.
"Stairs! Damn you, Tae Jun!! Don't die without me!" He kicked the door and faced the stairs. With his trembling legs, he took the risk. He grabbed the handles and strode the steps up the way.
"Taehyun!! What are you doing?!" Soheun grabbed him. The two looked at each other for a minute before the other male let go. "What's wrong with you?!!"
Soheun grabbed him back, "Stop!!!" Don't ruin his operation day!!" He felt very guilty. Because the truth is, Tae Jun told him to stop Taehyun from coming, no matter what.
Tae Jun's body is giving up, and he doesn't know if he's still alive after this last operation. His heartbeats are abnormal and he can tell that he's already out of life, so he asked Soheun to stop Taehyun.
