**Jin Ae‘s POV**

The first sound I heard from the place I call Hell was the beeping of the monitor that kept track of my heartbeats. The room was in silence with almost no air whistled past my ears. It felt like I have been dead for ages or frozen in a coma for months. I groaned as I forced my eyes to adjust to the new light. I was trying to get used to my environment but it wasn’t anything important since this wasn’t my first time in a hospital. I suddenly notice my stomach then before I could panic someone gently knocked at my door. Before I had a chance to response to the knock, the person walked in.

“Hana?”

She didn’t look so happy to see me in this condition one bit. I examined her and she looked very nervous at what she wanted to say next.

“I don‘t know how to start this but… I‘m sorry.” She sort of hesitated.

“No need to. I‘m leaving back to Japan once my babies and I are stable enough so don‘t worry.”

“No, you can‘t, Jin Ae.” She focused on me.

“Y-You can‘t. It‘s not fair to Jaejoong.” She added.

“How is it not fair? We made it clear to one another that this will be the end of our relationship. I told him that we would never see each other again.” I made sure I was clear to Hana.

“Jin Ae, you both can‘t do this. You have two daughters that needs him and you.” She was convincing me.

“I‘m not turning back on my words.” I said with more force of anger.
 
"BUT HE CAN LIVE WITHOUT ME!" She yelled as she turned to me with warm and seems to be true tears.
 
"He can't live without you, Jin Ae. I know it's true. We're both not the same anymore." She broke in more tears.
 
"Before, I thought I couldn't live without him for a day even for a second so I tried everything to get him back but at the end..." She looked back at me and I knew she couldn't control her tears anymore.
 
"...But at the end, it's you who he can't live without. He said those same words to me: I can't survive another day with you but now he can since you're his life. You took my spot and now you're the winner. I was always the loser! I never had real friends but only you! My jealousy broke up our relationship even your marriage. Actually, I broke myself. I'm no one and alone like how I all started." She cried.
 
After she felt like she was done crying, she took in some fresh air and started again.
 
"I was one spoil brat who wanted everything to myself. I had one best friend and it was only you. Every girl was jealous of me while you weren't but every moment with you was different. I felt like a better person when I'm with you. After the separation and knowing that you were the wife of the man I love, how could I stand away and watch you two be happy? Evilness took over me and I just couldn't let you two be together because I wanted him. When I finally got him, I thought I did the right thing but it wasn't. I was actually the one who was always jealous of you. Even though you liked girls, boys still admire your skills in basketball." She said with her eyes towards the ground.
 
"Jin Ae...I'm sorry~~" She looked up to me once again.
 
"Hana..." Her name went past my lips.
 
"I'm your friend and no matter what happens, I'll always be your friend through the hard times and the easy. All this time even after I have divorce Jaejoong, I never hated you one second. I was angry at your actions but it just couldn’t force me to hate you since everything was like a dumb fight back in high school. If I had to let go of Jaejoong, I might as well let go since it’s not worth losing myself for it. I truly love Jaejoong and it hurt the most when I had to make him forget about our love. I… I just don’t want to think about him anymore.”

“Jin Ae, I know but he loves you too and you guys have gone through a lot for each other. Don‘t push yourself away from him.”

“You know, the best things in life are what you treasure as memories. Let Jaejoong and I be the past. You and him can be the future, I can assure.”

She came closer to me and shook her head before grabbing a hold of one of my hands.

“You are everything to him, life and death.” She said.

MEANWHILE…

**Taecyeon‘s POV**

“Okay okay, T-thank you.” I hung up the phone after the last information then ran out of my office.

“Mr.O----” I almost ran into my secretary as I tried doing a ‘escape’.

Again, it was a crazy drive until I reached the hospital. I asked for a Lee Jin Ae then received a room number. Once I was there, Jin Ae was talking to someone.

“…I truly love Jaejoong and it hurt the most when I had to make him forget about our love. I… I just don’t want to think about him anymore.” Jin Ae sounded sad.

“Jin Ae, I know but he loves you too and you guys have gone through a lot for each other. Don‘t push yourself away from him.” I sort of recognized the voice.

“You know, the best things in life are what you treasure as memories. Let Jaejoong and I be the past. You and him can be the future, I can assure.”

“You are everything to him, life and death.” The other voice told Jin Ae.

I didn’t bother to walk in but just walked away. I was already excited that I was getting a chance but it seems impossible at this point. What should I do? Act like nothing happened or how many possibilities do I have left?

**Jin Ae‘s POV**

Hana’s visit was like a quick change to our lives. Apologizes were something that makes a relationship different and I was happy that we could be friends again. I took a short nap before I woke up again by the opening of the door. I sat up and my unni walked in with a sad face. There were barely any other expressions on her besides anything that has to do with sadness.

“Unni…”

“He…” She trailed off.

“He what?” I asked and my unni looked up to me.

“His knees are badly injured. The doctors aren’t sure if he’ll ever be able to walk again.” My unni informed me.

“W-what did you say?” I repeated even when I heard everything ten times clearer than it can be said.

‘Never walk again…’ The words repeated in my head and tears revealing from my eyes.

TEASERS:

“It‘s funny how your daughters has been in the hospital for two days and have not been named yet.” My unni laughed at me with a reminder.

~~~~

The mouth piece was securely over his nose and mouth and the monitor went on with the beeping. I sighed and caress his warm but pale face.

~~~~

His embrace was passionate and tight but our love just couldn’t continue. I was sorry, too sorry to even want to see him ever again.
