"I really didn't expect you to be this type of a doctor. I'm really disappointed" I said looking straight into his eyes. Even saying that I could hear my heartbreak. As much as I didn't want to say it, I felt like I had to.
A hospital in the middle...

"South Piling Construction," he said, and my heart immediately stopped. It was the same company that my dad worked at when he died. "Your father used to work there, didn't he?"
I felt my blood run cold as I felt goosebumps run all over my body
"How did you know?" I whispered
"He is the best uncle I ever had. He and my dad were close, and he will often come to our house. He always brought us food, and he was like a big brother to Beomgyu and me. Even though he was around my father's age, he was goofy and fun to be around. He wasn't strict at all. Beomgyu and I grew attached to him, especially Beomgyu. He was young and wanted a parent figure. He might not remember your father since he died when Beomgyu was three years old, but now I get why Beomgyu wants to stay here," he said, tears started falling down my eyes.
Suddenly I remembered the butterfly I saw when I visited my dad's grave on his death anniversary, which was also Beomgyu's first day here.
"You must have the same comfort as your father did."
When he said that, I immediately broke down sobbing. As I placed my face in my hands, I felt Beomjae wrap his arms around me and pull me to his chest.
"It's okay, Eunha," he whispered, "Your father is proud of you. I'm sure he was always looking after all those years. You are not alone."
His words gave me a lot of comfort and closure. After a few minutes, I managed to calm down, and I pulled away. Thankfully he was wearing a black blazer, so there were no stains.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to get emotional," I said as I grabbed tissues and cleaned my face.
"No, it's okay," he said, "I will leave so you can have a few minutes for yourself," he said and approached the door, but as he was about to open it. Someone burst into the room.
"Doctor Min," I saw Doctor Kang rush in, panting heavily as his eyes were wide open.
"Doctor Choi woke up."
Doctor Kang, Beomjae and I started running through the hallway into the ICU. Since the ICU is limited to few people, Beomjae wasn't allowed in. Miss Jeon, Doctor Park, Doctor Kang, and I surrounded him.
The intubation was removed and replaced with an oxygen mask, and there was a supporting cast on his shoulder, so he avoided moving it. His eyes were slightly opened, making me finally feel a weight lift off my shoulder.
"Doctor Choi, can you hear me?" Doctor Park asked. He didn't respond for a bit, his eyes wandered around the room for a while before landing on me. I felt my heart stop when our eyes met. He was there. He is right here. He is fine. I felt my heart lighten.
He is going to be okay.
"Are you okay?" I asked, and he nodded. "Do you feel pain?" he nodded. I looked at Doctor Park.
