Alex's POV:

We became alone in the room as the doctor guy left. I poured some water into the glass and handed it to Kim Haru, "Have some water, Sir~"

He glanced at me, "Thanks~ Sorry about last night~ I guess I really lost my mind~" Then he gulped down the water and put the empty glass on the table next to the bed.

"It's fine~ I hope you won't get into too much trouble with the police~" I said anxiously.

He ran his hands through his hair and sighed, "I don't really care about that now~ At least I can see him finally~"

I just stared at him in disbelief, and the silence filled the room.

This crazy boss of mine!...

~

A few minutes later, the door was opened by the doctor as he walked in, and that pale-faced boy followed him inside.

Kim Haru turned his head quickly towards them, mumbling, "Myung~"

As Myung stepped toward the bed in silence, Haru jumped off the bed, and his IV was pulled out of his hand, which caused blood oozing from its place. He stopped in front of Myung, but it was obvious that he was too overwhelmed to say anything.

Then a slap was laid on Haru's cheek by Myung, which made me and that doctor jolt in shock.
He asked Haru with his furious eyes, "When will you come to your senses?!"

Haru's tears started to fall as he kneeled down in front of him unexpectedly, and then said in his trembling voice, "Myung~ Why would you stay in this place?~ Why do you keep hurting yourself?! If this is some kind of punishment, I should say I've been living in hell for the past year, so enough with this~ Can't you just forgive me? I'm really sorry~ Please~ Stop torturing me like this..."

Myung asked, "Stop saying Sorry because it can't fix what it is already broken!!!! Do you think this is all about you?! Don't overestimate yourself~"

"You're here because I hurt you!" Haru shouted as he dropped his head in lameness.

"Haru... I had already forgiven you when you let go of me... And it wasn't only your fault! I shouldn't have started a thing that I wasn't able to handle in the first place. So basically, this is my problem, not yours..." Myung said calmly.

Haru held Myung's hands and lifted his head up. "Can't we go back together?~ I'll do whatever you want from now on~ If you tell me to be your slave, I will. If you tell me to bark, I will... Anything you say~ Just let's get out of here~ I can't live without you~ I've cut ties with everyone because the only thing I need is you~"

Myung also kneeled down and wrapped his arms around Haru as tears rolled down his cheeks. "We both know that it's too late for us~ Forget me, Haru~ Get it over with and live a good life~ Stop acting like this~ This is my last request from you~"

Haru hugged him back tightly, clenching his clothes. "How can I be when you're like this?!~ Hm~ I can't~ I miss you~ I keep seeing you everywhere~ Even if you had forgiven me, I can't~"

"I'm sorry~ Haru~ I'm really sorry~ But~ you need to let me go~" Myung replied as he was trembling from crying.

Haru was sobbing out loud in Myung's arms, and I was frozen in my place, unable to breathe properly.

That was the first time I saw an unknown side of my boss. The man who was strong and tough in front of everyone was crying, vulnerable in the embrace of his past lover, begging him to come back.

My heart was broken by their miserable state... It was really difficult watching them... Although I couldn't comprehend what Kim Haru had done to this boy...

"Why did you hurt him in the first place, boss?..." I thought...

When I glanced at the doctor standing near them, I could've felt from his expression that he had also found this scene heartbreaking... His eyes were full of sadness as he leaned against the wall with his crossed arms...

Seo Dantae's POV

"Gosh~... Watching them in each other's arms is damn hard~... I wanna pull Myung out of his grasp~... " I thought and then closed my eyes, compelling myself, "Stay moral~... You can do it~... Control your emotions~..."

After a minute, I opened my eyes and noticed Kim Haru was about to kiss him when Myung's eyes were closed because of too much crying, so I rushed to them unconsciously and covered Myung's lips with my palm. "No intimacy!!!" I said firmly.

Myung opened his eyes in surprise to look at me, and Kim Haru glared at me with his red swollen eyes, "What the heck! Can you stop interrupting us? Give us some privacy!"

"I can't let you act irrationally and do whatever you want to my patient. He just said that it's over! Learn to move on~" I said.

Haru got up and grabbed my collar. "Who the Fuck are you sticking your nose into my business?! I think you have a death wish!"

I smirked and scoffed, "Heh~ Your threats won't work on me!"

Myung stood up between us, one of his hands on my chest and the other one on his.
"Stop it or I'm gonna lose my shit... Then you'll both get bald..." That's what he said and both of us got shut up somehow.

Then Myung looked at Haru and said, "Move on, Haru... Live with no regrets from now on... Let's put behind our hurtful past and walk our own separate ways. I promise that~... I'll get better and~... start a new life~... So you don't have to worry about me anymore~..."

He paused a few seconds and hugged Haru, "Goodbye my dear old friend~"

Haru squeezed him into his arms and said, "Okay~ I'll try just because of you~ Goodbye My Myu Myu~"

They both stepped back as their tears were still falling down. Then Myung turned his gaze to me and grabbed my hand. "Let's go back, Dr. Seo~"

I nodded in agreement and walked out of the room together.

~

As we got back to his room, Myung's knees got weak and he crouched on the floor, grabbing his chest."It~ Hurts~... My heart~... Hurts~..." He repeated while he started to mourn by crying out loud.

I sat down next to him, reached my hand through his head, and pulled him into my embrace, trying to comfort him. "I know~... It's okay to grief~... Let your feelings express themselves~... You've done well until now~..."

When he was crying for another man in my embrace, I felt as if someone was shredding my heart into pieces...

I was stunned by my own feelings...
How could I fall in love with him this deeply?...

I keep forgetting the fact that we can't be together because of the relationship we have right now...

But what can I do?...
I want him to move on...
I want him to forget that boy...
I want him to be with me...

Somewhere only there's just the two of us...
A place where we can share our thoughts, dreams, and secrets without boundaries...
Where we can feel free to be ourselves beyond the doctor-patient relationship...

A place where we can just be...

As I was overwhelmed by my thoughts, my tears also rolled down my cheeks.

When Myung noticed that I was also crying, he lifted his head up from my chest and asked, "Why do you always cry whenever I cry?"

I flinched and my eyes widened in response, "I~ Em..." I mumbled anxiously and averted my gaze.

Myung stared at me for a few seconds and then he said, "I'm sorry... But... Can I be alone today?"

"Eh... Yeah! Of course! I have to go anyway since my shift is done~" I replied nervously and got up, "Then, see you later~"

Myung nodded as his head was down and still seated on the floor.

I then walked out of the room without saying a word...

Alex's POV:

[One week later, at work].

It's been a week since that incident and after we went through a tough process at the police station.

As I was sitting in front of Kim Haru and staring at him in his office, he was flipping the document's pages calmly. Then he asked with a raised eyebrow, "Do you have any questions?!"

+"Em... I'm curious about something~... Can I ask?"

-"What is it?"

+"Why did you betray that boy if you really loved him?"

He leaned back and glared at me for a few seconds. "Who said that I betrayed him?"

I was a bit scared to talk as he seemed annoyed, "I~... Heard you~... Married to someone else when you were with him~... Isn't that betrayal?"

He replied, "Huh! That was a complicated situation!... A kid like you won't understand..."

I clenched my fists in frustration, "No excuses are excepted for having an affair though..."

His eyebrows furrowed and then he stood up above me, his huge figure made me froze into my place. "I see you've got some nerves, Alex! Don't cross the line if you don't wanna me lose my temper..." He said as he held my chin in his hand.

I got shivers down my spine, and I answered as my voice cracked, "Yes... Sir~... I'm sorry~"

He walked out of the room, frustrated, and I let out a huff in relief...

"How did I pity someone scary like him!!!! Gosh!" I muttered nervously.

~

After a few minutes, Kim Haru returned and sat down quietly, continuing to read his papers as he reeked of smoke.

As I kept my head down and silently did my job, he suddenly broke the silence and said, "All of you can judge me... Bad mouth me... But I don't care... Since I know the fact that I really love him more than anyone or even myself... Yet my mistake was that I believed he'd never leave me no matter what I do..."

I raised my head and looked at him, "I wasn't judging you, sir... Well, nothing will last forever no matter how sad this fact is..."

"Myung also told me that the 'forever' I'm looking for won't happen..." He said in a low voice with deep sadness in his eyes.

"I'm sorry if I upset you with my words..." I said regrettably.

"Forget it..." He sipped his coffee and then asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

+"No, Sir."

-"Then, a boyfriend?"

+"That's also a no... I'm not into romantic relationships."

-"Eh?!... That's unexpected! You look one, though. Still a virgin, huh?"

+"I've had hook-ups or flings though..."

As I said this, he choked on his coffee and glanced at me while coughing, "God! I thought you were an innocent kid!... Why are you so straightforward, Alex?!..." 

I chuckled unconsciously when I saw the surprised look on his face, "Haha... I don't like to twist things..."

Kim Haru sighed, "You've stepped on the wrong path, Alex... Don't become like me or you'll lose your true chances to find someone real. No need to mention that even if you find them, you'll lose them..."

"There is no real one... They'd all leave you in the end and you'd be the one who's broken..." I muttered as I got upset by remembering past memories.

-"Not always it is that way. It depends on each individual, their greed and desires..."

+"I haven't seen anyone wothy yet..."

-"Because you're still young, but you'll find that special one."

+"I'm not sure..."

He then grinned and got up, "Enough with talking. Let's go to our meetings..."

I sprang up and nodded, "Yes, Sir!"
