Earlier That Night

Norma sat outside the hospital in a small, dark car that she'd rented for the week. She knew that Annelise would come to see Namjoon, but she'd had to wait over five hours before she saw that skinny slut rush in after midnight. What was wrong with her? Did she think that her fans would ambush her if she showed her face in the daytime? As if. Annelise Kane was still a relative nobody. The older actress fumed as she continued to watch the hospital doors.

Another person walked quickly through the doors. Seokjin! Norma tied a scarf around her head and jumped out of the car, following Seokjin through the doors. What was he doing here?

She thought she'd lost him in the almost empty halls, but then she heard his voice. She stopped and leaned against the wall, trying to hear what he was saying just around the corner.

"Why are you here, Jin?" It was that bitch!

"Annie, I couldn't leave you alone," Seokjin's voice was soft. "Let me be here with you."

"Please, just go," the bitch's voice said coldly. "You shouldn't be here."

"I want to be here. I want to be where you are."

Norma gritted her teeth angrily. She was not going to allow this to continue.

"Jin, please," the girl's hated voice said. "They called me to come in. You don't belong here. I have to be with Namjoon. I don't want him to see you here. He might get the wrong impression."

"What impression would that be?"

"Stop it, Jin. You know what I mean. Whatever happened was a mistake. It can never happen again. I am engaged to Namjoon. I'm going to marry him."

Norma's ears perked up. That couldn't happen soon enough. That little whore had to leave Seokjin alone and go off with her own man. Their voices dropped in volume, and Norma inched closer, still not visible to them.

"Anna, please don't marry him. Give me a chance. What happened between us was no mistake. You must realize that. It was beautiful beyond words."

What had happened? Norma wondered. Her breathing became labored, but then she heard Seojin's voice again.

"Please, please give me a chance. You're all I dream about. Let me show you how much I love you, how much I want you."

Norma clamped her hand over her mouth to stifle her gasp. Surely, they hadn't slept together. No! Seokjin couldn't have cheated on her. He belonged to her, not to that skinny slut.

"You know how I feel about you." Seokjin's voice had a whine to it. "I want to be with you. I love you. I've loved you for a long time. As far back as I can remember, I've loved you. I just didn't understand, and I made so many mistakes, but I need you. I can't live without you. I love you. Only you. Give me a chance to prove it."

Unseen around the corner, Norma clenched her hands so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. Seokjin was lying. He hadn't loved that bitch for a long time. He loved her, Norma. He'd said so many times while she held him in her arms and he was buried deep inside her.

"It's always been you, Annie. I'm sorry it took me so long to realize it, but I can't let you get away from me again. I need you in my life, in my arms."

Needing to put a stop to his words, Norma decided to turn the corner and confront them, but another voice stopped her.

"Miss Kane, Mr. Kim is awake again. Give us about twenty minutes to do a quick checkup, and then we will call you to go in."

"Thank you," Anna said. "I will be in the visitor's lobby waiting for your call."

Norma heard footsteps moving away. She peeked around the wall, but no one was there. She decided not to wait around. She would go home and think of another way to get that bitch away from her Seokjin. Once that girl was out of the way, he would come running back into her arms. She knew it. Seokjin was just temporarily blinded by his lust for that slut, but he would come back to the woman he truly loved. With a smile, she left the hospital.
