THE DOCTORS ARE OUT || JEONGCHEOL

EP 20

- Third Person POV -

Previously before Seungcheol saw Jeonghan...

Jeonghan entered his room. He did not take a bath because he still needed to get his clothes from his room.

He turned the lights on and pulled down the red jacket's zipper when the chain caught his eyes as it peeked out of the pocket.

"Yeon-ee's ring..." Jeonghan felt his throat go dry as he looked at the chain handling it carefully.

He walked over and then placed it on his desk looking down. He gulped as his heart pounded.

He didn't know what to do. He wanted the ring back.

No... He needed the ring back.

His breath shortened as he started biting on his nails.

He clenched his fist angry at himself for losing the ring.

He was hurt carrying his conflicted feelings as he began to cry silent tears.

But... It wasn't going to do him any good.

And... He knew that.

"R-Right, I have to change." His voice croaked as he wiped his tears turning around.

In a way he wanted to ignore and part with the chain so that it did not remind him of her but... He loved her too much.

He walked pulling open his closet with trembling hands.

He clenched his teeth realizing his broken state.

Even though having the ring back was a sign of rejection, it made him feel safe.

Save from the feelings he suffered.

But he remembered sobbing...

"Jeonghan, let go..." Yeon-ee faced away from Jeonghan. "It's over we're though."

Jeonghan trembled as the arm he desperately grabbed slapped him away.

Yeon-ee had never called Jeonghan by his full name.

He gasped.

No... He still hoped that he could get back with her if he got the ring back.

Yes... If he got the ring back.

His lungs caged in and shortened his breath with each step he took after grabbing the chain and walking out of the house.

"Han?" Mrs. Boo looked at him with worry as she saw his lifeless and suffering face walk out of the house. But there was nothing she could do.

He walked and walked and walked...

Trembling.

Seungcheol on the other hand...

"Sorry Mingyu but I have to go..." Seungcheol turned around throwing away his devilish tie.

"What?! Why?!" Mingyu was appalled by his abrupt decision.

"Just tell them it's an emergency. Maybe you can re-schedule it?"

"You're making up excuses again."

"It's not like that..."

"Really Cheol? What if they decide to just not go through with it?"

"Tsk!! Fine! Believe what you want to believe, Mingyu. I'm leaving!" Seungcheol ran out of the house.

"Wait! Cheol!" Those were Mingyu's last words as Seungcheol cut the call.
