Chapter 15 - 3rd day of July
Do I have a choice?Jungsoo woke up feeling weak and groggy.
He roamed his blurry eyes on his current surroundings. Judging from the while walls and beeping machines, he quickly understood that he is now lying on a hospital bed. He slowly sat up but sudden dizziness attacked him.
Seeing no one around him, he immediately remembered Heechul.
He forced his way out the bed and tore the IV needle on his arm. With shaky legs, he struggled to walk towards the door just in time for a nurse to open it.
“Sir! You must stay on your bed to rest.” The nurse exclaimed, immediately catching Jungsoo before he dropped on the floor as he lost his balance.
“No! I must find my husband! Where is he?” Jungsoo struggled from the nurse’s hold and tried to run out the room.
Knowing that Jungsoo won’t easily calm down, the nurse immediately asked help from the other nurses to help calm her patient down.
“Calm down Sir! Please go back to the bed and lie down. I will call the doctor to t-tell you about your husband.” The nurse tried to negotiate.

“Mr. Park…” The doctor started; his words already laced with the burden of telling the bad news.
Jungsoo didn’t even lift his head and just continued to stare at the floor as he listened to the doctor’s pronouncement.
“I’m very sorry Mr. Park but it was too late to save your husband”
Jungsoo instantly felt that he was poured with icy cold water before being thrown into an open fire.
His whole being felt numb with pain.
“He was declared dead as soon as the medics arrived at the site of the accident. You had been asleep for more than 36 hours now. But apart from some minor concussion and a slight rib fracture, you are fine Mr. Park.” The doctor finished his explanation.
Hearing the doctor’s last statement, Jungsoo snapped his head to look up at the doctor with tears pouring out his eyes.
“FINE?! How am I going to be fine after this doctor!?”
Jungsoo sobbed in despair, reaching for the doctor’s coat and tightly grasping it with
