Open heart
Sensible heart x Sensitive mindWheein caressed the baby's head while finishing the checkup.
He had been abandoned in a trash can in the middle of the winter. Probably to die.
An old lady was walking her dog when the animal dragged her to the place the baby was.
After a couple of exams, the Head of peds suspected the little boy was at most 1 month old.
The child was fragile and sick and Wheein wondered why someone would simply discard such an angel.
_____ Did you sniff his cute head yet?____ A familiar voice came from the back.
Happily surprised, Wheein turned around and grinned while speaking:
_____ Byul-Yi! Long time no see you.
_____ I miss you. And the kids. Well, I miss wandering around the hospital, saving people...But at least visiting you is still allowed.____ Moonbyul smiled.
_____ You look good. I mean...you always looked good. But you know what I'm saying.
_____ I do get it. Actually, I feel good. Yong's presence makes everything better. But I realized that I am a horrible friend. So I'm here, Wheein-ah. If you forgive me, of course.____ The taller one got closer and touched the baby's hand.
_____ Don't be a fool, unnie. You've always been a great friend. Life . You and I have our burdens. But I love you. And I know you love me too.____ The younger one smiled.
_____ Always great to hear that, my puppy. So....what's going on with this little guy?____ Moonbyul sniffed the baby's top of the head.
Speaking with sadness, Wheein responded:
_____ He was found in a trash can. His condition is stable but he is pretty anemic.
_____ What did the police say?
_____ They checked the street cameras but the person was wearing a mask and a cap. It's been a week and nobody responded to any of the news on tv.
_____ It's not my place to say what is good for you, darling. But...have you considered keeping him? I mean...if the mother is not found?____ The former cardio doctor spoke with tenderness.
Sighing deeply, the cute woman observed the baby in silence for a while before confessing:
_____ To be honest, I am trying not to think about it. I don't know what Hyejin really thinks regarding motherhood. I'm afraid she may do things just to please me. All the failed attempts to get pregnant worn me out. But I want to be a mother so bad...
_____ Maybe it's time you guys should talk. Forget the fears. Just
