Letting my blue Range Rover's engine roared to its life, I drove back home from Hoseok's wedding. On my way driving home on an empty street, humming to the songs on the radio, tapping the steering wheels, I saw a red Mini Cooper had collided to a huge tree at the side of the road. The car's hood were badly damage. Since it was an empty street, there were nobody passes by to help the victim in the car. I stopped my car nearby and went out running towards the wreckage.
I heard a crying sound of a small kid coming from inside of the car. I quickly ran to the backdoor of the car and opened when I see a kid crying still in his child seat.
It was Jitae, unhurt.
I immediately realised that it was his mother in the driver seat. I dismantled the child seat from the back seat with Jitae still sitting in it, sobbing and brought him out from the wrecked car. I brought the seat, with Jitae in, together with me to my car and buckled his child seat. I then ran back towards the wrecked and rescue the unconscious Jiyeon.
I carried Jiyeon bridal style to my car, walked to the driver's side and entered. I praised myself for driving the Range Rover and not the two seater car that I owned. I pressed the accelerator to the maximum, turning on the emergency lights and went off to the hospital.
I reached the nearest hospital and stopped in front of the emergency department. I called out the nurses standing nearby the entrance to help me. They saw my distress call and immediately pull out the stretcher to my car. I then carried Jiyeon and placed her on to the stretcher. The nurses shifted Jiyeon to the emergency room. I then parked my car and get Jitae out of the car and ran towards the emergency room.
I requested the nurse to send a doctor to check on Jitae. The nurse complied to my request and called out for the doctor. The doctor reassured me that there are no injuries on Jitae. I guess he was lucky because he was in the backseat safely secured in the child seat.
Carrying Jitae in my arms and calming him to sleep while sitting in the waiting area is the only thing I could do. After an hour of waiting with a droopy eyes, I saw a doctor coming out from the room calls out Jiyeon's family. I don't even know her aside from her being Haebum's friend, and of course of all the days, Haebum was currently in the plane headed off for her honeymoon.
"I'm her husband. How is she?"
I was shocked with the words I blurted out. The doctor sighed in relief which I assumed everything is okay.
Realising who I was, the doctor said "I am Dr. Hong, who is in charge of your wife. Mrs Kim is fine. I can assure you. Just several bruises on her ribs, cracked bones on her left arms. Fortunately, no major injuries."
"When will she be up, awake?" I asked while still carrying Jitae in my arms, still sleeping with his thumb in his mouth.
"She will be up once the anaesthetics wears off. Around an hour or so." the doctor said.
"Thank you doc."
"It's my job to treat my patient. Take a good care of her. You may proceed with the documentation at the front counter." He patted my back and went off.
I been waiting in this room for one hour. Jitae is asleep on the extra bed prepared by the nurse earlier. I am sitting in the sofa in my half asleep state. She should be up by now. I was a about to sleep when I heard, "W-w-water." She is awake, thank god. My hazy mind was then awake. I was no longer asleep.
I walked slowly to her bedside afraid that Jitae might woke up from his sleep. I poured in a glass of water and placed in a straw for her to drink. I lead the straw to her mouth and she started to drink.
"Thank you, Taehyung? Right?" I nodded.
"Thank you for helping me and my son." She said.
"It's okay. It's my pleasure to help you."
"Umm, Taehyung?" She hesitated.
"Yes?"
"Marry me?"
I was shocked by her proposal.
What just happened?
"M-marry?" It felt like there's a huge lump at my throat. I don't think this is real. Maybe it's because of lack of sleep. Yeah, that's it. Lack of sleep.
"Are you—" She flinched at my tone. Then I realised Jitae was still sleeping, "For real?"
She was about to answer me when I raised my finger in front of her signalling her to keep quiet. I walked back and forth near her bedside. Then a sudden realisation hit me!
"Wait, I better call the doctor, you might be having a concussion or something. This is— , I mean—," I was rubbing my face, disbelieved at her sudden proposal. I stormed out of the room, to call for a doctor.
The doctor came after several minutes later and checked her condition. "Everything seems fine Mrs Kim, though you are advised to stay away from heavy work for the next two weeks or so, till your arms are heal completely, and so are your bruises. I believe, Mr Kim here, is available to assist you on the road to recovery."
"What, who is Mrs Kim?" She asked. Oh no, I shouldn't have let the doctor said that.
"But doc, urm, I demand running more tests on her, maybe MRI, CT Scan, blood test, full checkup, and everything, I don't care, do whatever it takes, I want her to be completely healthy. I'm afraid she might have a concussion." I gave a fake smile to the doctor while leaving Jiyeon all confused on her bed.
"Tests? More tests? No, no, it's okay, I feel okay." Jiyeon shook her head denying my requests.
"Mrs. Kim, I am sure Mr Kim is all worried about you." The doctor argued.
"No, I'm a doctor, Doctor Lee Ji Yeon, from Myeonghan Hospital. I'll take a further check up in my hospital. No need for the tests here. Or maybe you can just give me the charts, I'll transfer myself there. But when can I be discharged? You know what, I can just check out tonight. That'll be fine."
"No Mrs Kim, it's a procedure. You are a doctor, I'm sure you are aware of the procedures. So, in two days, we will make sure that there are no more complications. Your bills are settled by your husband. You may take your rest now." She then thanked the doctor. Turning on his heel, he bowed slightly towards us, and walked out of the room.
"Please, just to as I say? You are not serious right?" I pleaded.
"So, husband? Marry me?" She smirked.
"Daddy? Uncle, my daddy?" Jitae was half awake, rubbing his eyes, watching his mommy.
Is it possible for one to turn 360 degrees after an accident? Is she for real? The kid too?
Me?
Married and a kid?
How old is this kid anyway?
