9:30 PM, Shin Jae Chul has expired

I layed on the coach in my office wanting to rest. But for some reason my i felt unease. My heart... it's like it knew something was wrong.. Shin Jae Chul's wound to the head was expected to end with him passing away, which did happen. It was expected. But why do I still feel uneasy? I felt like there was something else that was wrong. But I couldn't point it out. I don't know why but there is something not quite right. What is it? Why do i feel that way?

I heard my phone buzz, I looked at the coffee table and reached out to it.

Choi Jun Hyuk

Yeonjun's dad.

For some reason my heart squeezed hard. Like something was wrong

"Hello" I managed to say even with the lack of oxygen in my lungs

"Ah Rang is it true? Is it true you were pregnant at the time you broke up with Yeonjun?" He asked

"How did you know?" I said

"I don't know what went over Yeonjun but he came back home angry and drunk. He is breaking everything. He was blaming his mother for losing his child" Mister Choi said

That's when it hit me. He read the letter i wrote and slipped it into the booklet when I went into his office

"Is he okay-" I asked but was cut off when I heard glass crash in the background before some yelling in the background

"Yeonjun please calm down" I heard Mister Choi begging for his son to stop "Ah Rang please just come here and try to calm him down. He is not listening to neither me or his mother please he will listen to you"

I hung up the phone and ran out of my office and down the hallway. Yeonjun isn't the type to throw a fit, not the type to break things when he is angry. I was worried and scared for him. What if he hurts himself.

For the next two hours i felt like my body was in torture from all the worry, my nerves were on fire and my stomach made me feel sick, my heart wouldnt stop pumping so hard. And the thoughts in my head never stopped.

Without knocking I opened the front door of Yeonjun's parents mansion. Indeed there were at least twenty maids cleaning up the living room from the destroyed decoration that each probably cost hundreds of thousands.

My heart ached, the fact that Yeonjun did all of this broke my heart. He was always in control of his emotions and when the rare happens and he did lose control it was never like this.

"Is everything okay Miss?" A maid said, approaching me, as she stood tall and her hand folded at the belly button just as Miss Choi disciplines every maid that works for her.

"Where is Yeonjun?" I asked, her eyes widen as I addressed him informally

"May I ask who you might be?" she asked, for some reason her question shot fire through my nerves.

I didn't have time for any of this bullshit

I walked right past her and up the stairs making my way to Yeonjun's room. I entered an empty room. It didn't change at all. All the furniture was in place. But it was overly neat. Like it wasnt used for months

Or even years.

"He left" I heard Mister Choir say behind me. I turned around to see him in the hallway, dressed up in a suit like he has a meeting to go to "He was suppose to join me to go to a dinner with the other board members of the hospital, instead he showed up drunk"

"Do you know where he might be?" I asked

"No idea, he was gone before I had the chance to follow him" he said, a moment of silence hung in the air as I tried to think where he might be.

"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked making me look up at him "That you were pregnant with his child"

"I didn't think it will be good for his career, well that's what Miss Choi made me believe" I said

"Did you get an abortion?" he asked making my eyes widen

"No" I said immediately "I left the city and went to town on the way there I got into a bus accident which soon resulted in me having a miscarriage"

"I'm sorry to hear that. It must have been really painful." He said as his eyes softened "I know how much you mean to Yeonjun, please don't let go of my son. You are the only one that is for him. Don't worry about Miss Choi, I will take care of her but all I'm asking from you is to stop the misery that my son is in and has been in for the past four years."

I nodded and just as I was about to leave I felt my phone vibrate. I looked down to see an unknown number but the first few numbers gave away that the call was being made from a payphone. Usually I would ignore it but something inside of me wanted to pick it up. So I decided to do so

"Hello?" I answered, I expected a scammer or a drunk person or even just silence

"Ah Rang" I heard a familiar voice on the other line instantly making my hand shake and my knees weak.

Yeonjun

But his voice was extremely weak. It was thick and raspy as he was breathing heavily. I felt tears build up in my eyes as I felt my throat tighten up

"Junie please where are you?" I managed to ask. I didn't want to break yet here I am. I wanted to stay strong for him.

"In front of your apartment building. I tried ringing your flat but no one opened the door and you aren't in the hospital. Where are you babe?" he asked as few sobs broke out

That's when I realised he was using the same pay phone that I used to call him for the past four years. The same payphone that is in front of my apartment building

 The same payphone that is in front of my apartment building
