9 months later, 

PARK JIMIN 

"Everyday, every night, feel like a fool, you gonna know~"

As the music echoed across the bar, my hands gripped the glass in front of me while my eyes swiveled towards the back of my head in a distressed sense of a headache. 

"Hic", I hiccuped as I tilted my head towards the edge of the couch, taking a long swig of the dark substance that affected me. 

"Dr. Park, this is the last I will selling you for the day. I swear that if Minah wasn't on her maternity leave, she would have killed me", Hoseok, who then walked towards me to deliver the glass of whiskey said. 

Sitting himself next to me, he ran his hands to my thighs and then gently patted on them, 

"At this amount you've been drinking daily, you're deemed to develop cardiac problems yourself. What happened to the 'I don't drink' Dr. Park back then? We all want him back", he told me earnestly while staring straight into my eyes.

However, all I could do was to sigh as the walls soon became part of a fun house, changing figure in a blink of an eye. My breath was the underlying cause of the smell of alcohol that entered my nostrils, and my mouth was sore from the amount of alcohol that I had poured down my throat. But nevertheless, I cleared my throat and uttered back softly still,

"She doesn't need me anymore,"

I tried standing up next, but only to fall back down onto the couch in an unbalanced attempt to walk to the bathroom. Hoseok was watching me all along through his sympathetic eyes and seeing how he was pouting and all, it had me feeling bad all over again and I leaned back and broke down once more. 

"Jimin, I count to three. Please let go of me. One, two, three," 

That was all she had said to me before yanking my arm harshly away from her. Then, without even looking back, she took to her heels and left me standing alone at the lobby that day. 

I collapsed into Hoseok's embrace and cried. Grabbing my hair in sorrow as those scenes started replaying in my mind, I could feel the emptiness in my heart again. I tried. I did try all means to get her back; I even went to the extent of transferring to the gynaecology department in order to have spare time to travel to America to visit her but now, she doesn't need me anymore. She has Jeon Jungkook after all.

My line of vision got blurry from the tears that were streaming down my cheeks but from some distance away, I could still make out the muffled voices of Namjoon, Taehyung and Yoongi as they sauntered their way in into bar. 

"There he is", Taehyung shrieked and he became the first to hurry over to my side while Namjoon was still having a difficult time maneuvering his way in. Whereas for Yoongi, he had changed. For way too long, he have been worrying about me that now, he couldn't be bothered anymore. 

During the process when Taehyung and Namjoon were busy tidying me up, I could hear Yoongi grunting under his breath before rolling his eyes and halting in front of a female instead. Raising the golden chain which was hanging around his neck, he would rather take this opportunity to hit on her than to save me.

"I'm rich, so expensive. I have chain", I heard him telling her that while she raised an eyebrow, amused at his behaviour.

"You like dis? You like dis chain? Three dollah", Yoongi continued but then, wagging her finger at him, the female didn't buy it however. 

I noticed that she had her arms folded across her chest and her short bob hair sat all the way up till shoulder length. Shaking her head, she adjusted her bangs slightly before she gave a chuckle and replied him,

"Are you kidding me? I've heard that you've been ing about me a lot behind my back and here you are now, trying to hit me up?"

I saw Yoongi standing all frozen up at the same spot at that instant before his eyes then widened in shock. Right at the same time, Namjoon and Taehyung also flinched as they twirled around to face her. Everyone was loss for words for a second before the female took the initiative to head towards me.

Taking a few strides forward, she easily lifted the glass of whiskey off from my hand. Then, smiling at me with her dimples showing, she locked her eyes with me before slowly emptying the contents from the glass on my head.

Somehow, I could sense a familiarity in her but with her face set in a frown, she wasn't exactly friendly with me. Taking me aback, she grabbed onto my collar next before biting into her lips and spoke through her teeth. 

"Look shorty, I didn't come all the way back to see you like this,"

KIM DONGHYUN 

FLASHBACK 

September, October, November... And now July. In the blinking of an eye, it has already been nine months since I left South Korea. The heart surgery, the post-op treatments, I have already completed all of them in the course of my first six months here. And for convenience sake, abeoji even arranged a private doctor for me, who is now also my housemate, Lee Ji-eun. 

"Yah Hyunnie-ah, have you taken your medicine?", she would always nag at me but that was to show how caring she was and I guess, that's how Jungkook eventually got over me and feel in love with her after making those frequent visits to our house.

Securing his arm around her waist, Jungkook sat his chin on top of her head before he narrowed his eyes at me.

"Yah, Kim Donghyun, didn't you hear Dr. Lee speaking to you?", he even had the courage to defend her now and managing a laugh, I replied a quick "yes" to the annoying couple. 

Then, waving them off, I signaled for them to hurry on for their date before they run late. However, just as they set their foot out of the door, I asked Jungkook, 

"By the way, have you checked the mail? Did anything come in today?"

"Nope", to which he muttered sadly.

"Still no news from him?", he questioned back and I shook my head at him. 

"Nevermind then,"

With that, I saw them off and went back up to my room. Switching on my computer and then clicking on my bookmark, I scrolled down hastily to check for any updates from him. 

For the past few months, ever since I saw this listing on eBay by Dooly, I knew that it has got to be him. Eventually, it also became a routine for me to check up on his current status daily for on the screen, it showed the image of the bracelet I had given him on his birthday.

Park Jimin. He is still searching for this after all. I sighed and stared at the small box which was lying on my table. And then, opening it, it revealed Dooly, which was smiling goofily back at me. My lips curled up subconsciously at the sight of it but recalling the events on that day, my face fell. 

'If anyone is currently holding on to this bracelet, please kindly sell it to me. It is something very valuable of mine that I can't afford to lose. Price is negotiable. DM me please', the description on his eBay listing read. 

I plopped my body back onto my chair. 

Of course, despite running through the entire trash area the other day, Jimin still couldn't find it, for all along, the bracelet was in my hands. I had retrieved it from the trash can right after he had disposed it. It was only a coincidence that I ran into him on the wee hours of that morning, desperately wanting to search for it again. However, when I soon figured out the reason as to why he was acting that way towards me, my heart sank. And it was right at that moment that I told myself that I will only return when I'm all healthy and ready to be with him and so, I eventually chose rehabilitation over him. 

You may think that it was easy and harsh for me to do that but to say that I do not miss this Dooly of mine, it would be a lie. 

Standing up, I walked across the room to my closet and opened it wide before letting my fingers trailed along the clothing on the shelf. 

In actual fact, Jimin does drop by once every month to top up my supplies and I am aware of his appearance. However each time, I would always hide behind the door, waiting for him to leave before I muster up the courage to open it and pick up those items he have bought for me. 

For winter, knowing that the season has turned cold, he got me mittens, scarves and a coat. Even in the event if he failed to negotiate with his superiors for spare time to visit me, he would still send letters and parcels over. Up till now, I have read every single one of them and the cycle kept going on and on until last month, when Jungkook decided to move in with us. 

Ever since then, Jimin no longer turn up at my door; the letters and parcels stopped coming in and for a month, he haven't been logging in to his SNS nor his eBay page. This rendered a strange feeling in me and I am so afraid that he had eventually decided on moving on me and giving up on me. 

Quickly, I tried to shake those negative thoughts off from my mind. 

"I have to check up on him", I told myself and swinging back onto my chair, I scrolled my cursor down to the very end of the page. Then, after moments of pondering, I inhaled a deep breath before I began typing in the sentences on my keyboard. 

And finally when I was finally done, I clicked on 'offer' and pressed 'send'. 

END OF FLASHBACK

But now, as I watched silently at Jimin, who stood at the bar doorway with the smoke from inside billowing out into the bitter wintry air, I couldn't help but to feel a wave of disappointment surging through me. 

"Leave him to me. I will bring him back", I had told the rest who have yet to recover from their shock and they nodded their heads at me before scattering off. 

The smoke swirled in the momentary light that streamed out until the door swung shut. Jimin toppled down the step onto the cobbled street and the houses swayed like they were part of a fun house mirror illusion. After only six staggering paces, he doubled over, vomit splashing on the stones and spraying all over his cropped jeans. 

"Yah, watch it", I screamed after him and jogging over to his side, I finally pulled his arm around my shoulder before then, walking him to my car. 

Carefully, I laid him down onto the backseat but just as I pulled away, Jimin yanked me to him and covered my mouth with his in a hungry kiss. The kiss obliterated every thought and for the first time in the few months, my mind was actually locked into the present.

Jimin's usual mode of hurrying from one thing to the next suspended as he had no wish for the kiss to end. Drunk on endorphins, I felt him touching me, trying to move his hands under my smooth summer layers to feel my perfect softness. The soft caress soon became more firm after some time. He savoured my lips entirely and the quickening of my breath eventually started to match his. 

"Stay, stay with me", he moaned.

PARK JIMIN

"YAH PARK, WAKE UP WILL YOU?! DON'T YOU REMEMBER THAT MINAH'S DUE TODAY?"

Without warning, I awoke to his words and my eyes flung so wide that each iris was a perfect orb of chocolate. Jolting up from the bed, I sat up to find Seokjin frowning hard at me but after surveying the surroundings, I was even more shocked to find myself in her house, on her bed. 

But at the next moment, Seokjin had already swung his frying pan against my head, rendering me to wince in pain. 

"You . Is this what I've taught you? To drink to your deathbed?", he reprimanded me but scratching my nape sheepishly, I asked,

"What happened?"

Last night's memories were still blurry in my mind and as I sat myself down at the dining table, Seokjin glared at me once again.

"I know what happened,"
"What?"
"YOU FREAKING TOOK ADVANTAGE OF MY-", he hung there for a short while,

"M-MY BODY,"

My face turned as white as a chalk once he had mentioned that. My eyes and mouth were frozen wide open in an expression of stunned surprise and although I was staring straight at him, I appeared not to notice him at all while my mind formulated on all of the possible scenarios.

"But nevermind, don't even think about it already", Seokjin said just then, 

"There's something more important. It seems like you have lost her,"

"Her?", I questioned back but when I finally realised who he was referring to, I cursed under my breath before quickly fishing out my phone from my pocket. 

Actually, a few days back, I have received a notification from this person, claiming that she had found my bracelet. She had offered to return it to me and we've initially arranged for a meetup the day before but it seemed like I've screwed up once again. 

Hence immediately, I decided to text her. 

Parkjiminnie: Hey. I'm sorry that I missed our meeting yesterday. But is it possible if we meet at the Seoul Hospital at 5pm later? 

I waited for her reply after which and luckily, it came in prompt. 

sassy: sure

With that, I heaved a sigh of relief before looking up at Seokjin with a look of disgust. 

"Did we kiss?"

---

"AHHHH AHHHHH NOOOOO. I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE. I'M GOING TO DIE OF PAIN,"

Right now, I am in the operating theatre, along with Hoseok and Minah. The gestation stage has passed and Minah's due today and hence, she's currently undergoing labor. 

Clenching tightly onto her with one hand, Hoseok was yelling together with her while with the other, he was holding on to the video camera.

"For goodness sake, Mr Jung, you've got to calm down. You wouldn't want your recording to be full of screams after that. You will probably regret it", I told him through my mask and biting onto his fist, he moved slightly aside for me to make my way through. 

"Now, Minah-ssi, take a deep breath in and slowly breathe out", I said to Minah and this process repeated itself for quite a number of times before the newborn cries finally filled the room. 

"Congrats, you've just given birth to fraternal twins,"

Hoseok burst into tears of relief and joy upon hearing the good news and turning his glossy eyes over to Minah instantly, he smiled at her before letting his eyes and camera leave her face to take in the twins that are being brought to his wife's bare skin. However, as soon as he panned his camera to focus on the twins, he passed out as well. 

", we forgot that he's afraid of seeing blood again,"
"Yeah Tae, drag him out,"

---

"Woah Jimin. I see that you did a great job back there", Yoongi complimented as he tapped my shoulder lightly. 

Now that everyone else are gathered at Minah's ward, Hoseok was finally awake as well and was busy holding on to the twins in his arms as he flaunted to the rest. 

Tiny fingers curled around my pinky and I leaned towards them and watched the twins peer through their brand new eyes at what must be such a strange world after life in the womb. Namjoon soon came over to my side but just before he could lay his hands on the twins, Hoseok slapped his hands away. 

"Uh uh. Not you. I'm so not letting those hands of yours touch my babies. They are not just any dolls you can meddle with", Hoseok snapped at him and this eventually made the entire room roared with laughter. 

I joined in with the celebratory mood  but as I took a quick glance at my watch, I let out a gasp when I realised that it was already five minutes past five. I was suppose to meet sassy at 5pm but I'm late again. 

Thus, quickly excusing myself from the rest, I headed out of the ward and was just about to enter the elevator when someone familiar walked out of it. 

The sweet scent and familiar aura of hers, I recognized. My nose immediately tingled with familiarity and I blinked my eyes several times in doubt until a text arrived. 

sassy: sorry but I've got something on so I can no longer wait for you. Maybe next time then?

I took a glimpse at the message but quickly jerking my head back up, I watched as the girl soon stopped by the nursing counter to ask for directions.

"Sorry, but may I know which ward does Hwang Minah stays in? I'm a friend of hers. My name's Kim Donghyun,"

My body immediately frozen up at the same spot, trying to remember how to breathe, unable to speak, totally stunned as the name bounced around inside my skull. 

Kim Donghyun, she's back. 

Her tall frame and slender body were rendering her beauty and her short, wavy black hair, so smooth and silky now sits at her shoulders. 

From a distance, I watched on as she conversed with the nurse and finally getting her queries answered, she turned her body towards the direction the nurse was gesturing at, until she stiffened up too when she saw me.

Our eyes met each other's at that instance and I could feel tears welling up in my eyes. And next, that was when she smiled at me for once ever since the day she left me. Tapping her toes on the ground, she gradually walked towards me and nodded politely after much contemplation.

"So... I guess we are able to meet after all?"

"Hmm?", I was already too shocked from the fact that I'm seeing her again. 

"This", Donghyun suddenly brought out a small box from her handbag,

"I've been waiting for the right moment to return this to its rightful owner. Ja,"

Reaching out for my hand, she carefully opened up my palm before gently placing the bracelet on it. 

"D-dooly...", I stuttered before covering up my mouth in utter shock. 

"B-but h-how?"

"Oh that?", her eyes widened up at my words but quickly waving it off, she said, 

"You wouldn't want to know and I don't want to share it either. But for all I know, only you, y, can get me doing all sorts of embarrassing things,"

What?

"D-did you just called me -"

I was just about to open my mouth when I was suddenly stopped as covered mine. Her warm lips were gentle, but firm. However, she drew away quickly and the next thing I knew, her hands were pounding hard onto my chest in public. 

I could feel the stares around us already and therefore, in order to avoid the unnecessary attention we were gathering, I pulled her in to the nearest On Call room and locked the door behind us. 

"Hyunnie-ah", I called out to her as she sank onto the bed behind her.

"YAH PARK JIMIN! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL THESE WHILE? WHY DID YOU STOP VISITING ME AND WRITING THOSE LETTERS? I THOUGHT THAT SOMETHING BAD MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU", she bellowed and that was when I caught her wrist in my hand. 

"I-I...", I dropped my gaze down onto the ground before finally mustering up the courage to look at her,

"I didn't see any purpose in stalking you anymore... 'Cos after all, you've got Officer Jeon by your side now",

I held her hand against my chest but she slowly moved her fingers up to trace my features.

"Who told you that Jungkook is with me now?", she asked which made me shiver with anger and fear all of a sudden.

"I saw him moving in with you with my own eyes,"
"Then did you see him hanging out more with Ji-eun instead?"

Donghyun cut me off there and with an intense gaze, she cupped my face in her hands and told me right away,

"I love you Jimin, and I always do,"

With that being said, I didn't hesitate anymore before I wrapped my arms around her. 

"I listened to you. I went back to America for the surgery and now, I'm all healthy, standing right in front of you", she announced and my grip only got tighter on her. 

With a quick brush of my lips against her, I leaned my forehead on hers and asked to confirm,

"So.. You're not an item with Jungkook?"
"Heck no,"

---

KIM DONGHYUN

"Heck no,"
"If you say so,"

Then, letting out a sneaky smirk, I started to feel Jimin's fingers running up and down my spine, coaxing shivers out of me. With my cheeks blushing hotly, I glanced back up into his captivating brown orbs. With a swift push, Jimin was already lying on top of me the next second before then, he leaned down, resting his forehead against mine. 

I watched breathlessly as his eyes studied mine with silent intensity. His warm breath ghosted across my face and it became an instinct for me to shut my eyes in anticipation. 

I stifled a surprised gasp as Jimin's soft lips then finally captured mine, causing my body to flush with heat. The heat seemed to travel through my veins, warming me. But just as I felt a rush of euphoric bliss enveloping me, Jimin drew away. 

Fumbling through the contents in his pants, he soon drew out his wallet for the protection when he realised that it wasn't there any longer.

". I swear that that I had one in here", he cursed and looking back at me with innocent eyes, I couldn't help but to find him really cute yet y at the same time. 

Bobbing my head up, I shut him up with a peck on his lips and he it away shyly. 

"y", I stared at him with earnest eyes,

"We already had it last night,"

Jimin shook his head in confusion.

"But, wait. WHAT?", he was stunned at first but when he was starting to get the hang of it, the corner of his lips curled into a sly smile.

"Oh I see... So it was really you..."

My cheeks were turning really hot by then but Jimin had to make it worse when he whispered seductively into my ear,

"Then... I suppose we don't need it anymore? Since... You are already mine,"

He had the authoritative tone of a real doctor now. The kind you just can't say no to. I wanted to resist him, to push him away, but it's like my body's paralyzed right now. So instead, I have in and entwined my arms around his neck before pulling him down closer to me, 

"y, lead me on,"
"As you wish, sassy,"

"AND YES JIMIN! YOU FINALLY GOT YES JAMS!!!", it was then the rest shouted from outside. 

-the end-
