Kim looked at his childhood friend and smiled.
"I believe in your skill my friend." he comforted himself.
"I know my friend is competent and he's going to save my wife and daughter. I won't fear again. I'm relaxed. Yes, I won't fear anything. Yes, I won't," he kept blabbing and sighing. He was really scared but he knew he had to believe and be strong
After some minutes that felt like thousands of years, the doctor finally came down.
Kim, who was walking up and down aimlessly in the doctor's office, turned to see the doctor's sad face and his heart skipped.
He laughed nervously "You saved them right? You saved my family right?"
"Ah... ah..."
"Stop this... don't try to deceive me. Why are you looking sad, is it because it's a male child instead of a female? Oh although, I'm a bit disappointed but every child's gender is still a child and I'm still very fine with that. Even Though I would have preferred a female child, it's still fine. I am happy. Can I see my wife and my son now?"
"Calm down Kim... your baby is a girl, not a boy."
"Whaoooooo... you are truly wonderful Da won! I trust you. I always knew you could do it! Thanks, pal!" He hugged his friend happily
"Calm down Kim"
"I need to see my family now. I need to see my beautiful wife. Let me go now. Where is she?"
"Kim, we lost your wife!"
Kim stopped in his tracks as he couldn't believe what he just heard. He was sure he heard wrong.
"Sorry, I heard wrong, what did you say?"
"You did not hear me wrong Kim. We lost your wife. I'm sorry."
He turned back, stood rooted for some while, and suddenly burst out laughing. He laughed and laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. He couldn't stop his laugh.
"Your humor is getting better my friend. Quickly tell me where Yeon seon is, I need to say congratulations to her on the birth of our newborn baby girl."
"Calm down, Kim. I'm sorry. I tried my best but I couldn't save her... I was only able to save the baby."
"Ah ah ah!" Kim started laughing again. He laughed so hard and staggered until tears fell from his eyes like rain.
"You are lying Da won. Yeon seon would never leave me. You are lying." he kept laughing while tears continued falling.
"Yeon Seon promised me she'd always be there for me. She told me she'd be a good mother to our daughter. She promised me she will go places with me. She has so many dreams unrealized. So many promises unfulfilled and you are telling me she's gone like That? Impossible, I won't believe you!" Kim lamented and cried like a little baby.
His wife was everything to him. His favorite human. His woman's best friend. The most special person in his life. He couldn't imagine his life without her and he just could not bring himself to believe the fact that she left him just like that. It was so hard for him.
"I'm sorry Kim... I should have saved your wife and I tried but my best wasn't enough. I'm truly sorry, Kim."
"No! No please Da won. Remember I love you right? Remember you are my best friend. Please save my wife. I'm sure she is not dead. She is just asleep. Quickly go and wake my Yeon seon up, please. Help me Da won!" He pleaded and cried profusely.
Da won looked at his friend and his heart ached for him. He really wished he could help his friend but he too was helpless. Only a miracle could bring her back and Da won wasn't expecting that. He only wishes his friend could be consoled and his heart should be strong enough to face all the pain and loneliness. His heart bled for him.
"You need to be strong for your daughter Kim. You know you are the only one who can take care of her now. You need to stay healthy and strong for her, please."
"Noooooooo!" Kim continued crying.
Hannah and Kal barged in
"Doctor! Doctor! What happened to madam??"
"I'm sorry, Kal and Hannah. I tried my best but we lost your madam. Only the daughter is alive."
Kal shouted as tears fell from his eyes. Yeon seon was like a family to him. She was the one who sponsored his high school education. She even wanted her to continue his study but he refused because he wanted to be by Seon's side and protect her but now that Seon is dead, he was really affected and felt extremely sad. He loved Yeon Seon so much that her death made his heart heavy and aches so badly. He shouted so hard that his throat literally burst.
Hannah on the other hand couldn't believe it and she immediately denied it
"Doctor, madam cannot die. Madam can never die. She cannot die. Tell me she did not die, please."
"I'm sorry Hannah,"
"No No No!... madam cannot do this. She cannot leave me this way. Madam has to take care of her daughter. She won't go like that. Master master, madam loves master and will never leave him. So she cannot die."
"I'm sorry Hannah. I truly tried my best but there was nothing I could do. She gave birth to a baby girl and I will urge you to please help your master and late madam take care of the little baby, please."
"No, no doctor No!"
She shakes her head profusely and faints. She fell with a bang and lost consciousness. The three men in the room panicked and quickly rushed to her side.
"Hannah!!" Kim screamed!
