• Found again among tears •

Juana finished her work and went to the park as usual because it was a very free place there. From the day the girl first came here until today, every time she came here, the girl felt very safe. The girl loved that feeling even though she couldn't imagine why she could feel such a thing in such a place.

Meanwhile, Taehyung used to calm down by looking at the girl from the window of his room every day. He knew that he would be locked in the room for a week after causing trouble there, but no one believed that the last time he screamed was because he had actually seen Juana. So the boy was not allowed to come out of the room until the end of the week.

"Get out! I have to clean the room. Don't get caught doing crazy things again. Next time you will be put in the dark room."

The patients were afraid even when they heard the name of the black room. That is where electric shock is given to patients who are difficult to control. But it was a question whether the patients who were difficult to control actually went there. There was no one to oppose the attendants of the hospital when they ran things as they saw fit. It is not really a place where the mentally ill can get cured. A place that makes them even more mentally weak.

As soon as the hospital nurse opened the door, Taehyung ran out like a child and hung on the net wall again, hoping to see her. He knew that Juana would definitely be there at this time. But will he be able to talk even today?

"Why don't people come to this park that much, Misu?"

"There is a mental hospital in front of the park. People are afraid there."

"But there are people there too."

Juana came to the park with her friend after work and asked her a question that she had been having for a long time. Although the city has two parks, everyone goes to the other park, so this place is very deserted. Juana was not surprised when she found out that the reason was the mental hospital. Before she fell in love with Taehyung, she was afraid of the mentally ill. Does that mean she is not afraid of them now? Hmm, Juana probably doesn't even have the answer to that.

"I'll go then, Juana. Don't stay up late either."

"OK Misu, be careful."

Juana, who had been watching Misu turn to the other road for a while, sat in her usual place while taking a deep breath. She didn't know that there was a mental hospital in front of the park before. She looks ahead to a sudden thought because of the mystery there. But because of the person who caught her eyes, she got up automatically.

"Taehyung..."

"Juana..."

The girl couldn't believe that it was Taehyung hanging from the nets and looking at her with teary eyes. Little by little, when the girl's legs came back to life, the girl ran to the other side of the road without wasting time even looking at both sides of the road. When two or three tears started to fall from those eyes, Juana was hanging on the net next to Taehyung. As always, there was a barrier between them.

"Tae, oh god! Is this you?"

"Dear, Juana...."

"Wait a minute Tae, I'll be in."

The girl who frantically searched for the hospital gate entered the hospital through the back gate. While the girl who ran to Taehyung was waiting, Taehyung came running and hugged the girl's warmth like a pet who has not seen its owner for a long time. The boy nervously moved his lips all over the girl's face and held her tighter in his arms.

"God, where have you been for so long. How long have I been looking for you?"

"Juana, you're not going again, are you? You're right next to me, aren't you?"

"I'm not going again Tae, I'm not going anywhere without my Tae."

The girl also cuddled in Taehyung's warmth because she had missed that warmth and love for so long. Even though they had been away from each other for more than three months, their love had not diminished even a little. During that time, both of them started to feel very close to each other. So even after this, will that love be able to go on a journey together?

******

Juana meets Taehyung's doctor and learns his details. The fact that Taehyung suffered there for the whole three months is not something strange for the girl to know. Since the doctors came to the hospital only once a week, they did not interfere in the affairs of the hospital staff. The doctors were just doing their jobs.

According to medical reports, Taehyung's condition did not change much. It wasn't hard for Juana to understand that his mental state gradually went down, and he fell into the state of someone living in fear. Taehyung now looks like a scared and childish person.

"Juana, take me with you."

"I won't be able to do anything right now, Tae. Since the police put you here, it's hard to get you out all of a sudden."

Taehyung was sitting on the bed with his head on Juana's chest and hugging her with his arms around her waist. Meanwhile, Juana ran her fingers through the boy's soft hair while the boy felt some relief. Actually, that love is something that both of them always expected. But there are many reasons why they cannot be together. Maybe there will be new reasons in the future.

"You girl, go now. It's already past ten o'clock."

It was when a hospital worker said that the girl also remembered how long she had been there. The girl didn't realize time was passing while she was in Taehyung's warmth. But the girl knows that she can't stay there. Juana kept the boy who was hugging her close for a while and looked at the boy's shining eyes.

"I'll go now and come back tomorrow, Tae..."

"Don't go Juana. I'm lonely."

"I can't stay here any longer. I'll be back soon Tae, I'll get you out of here as soon as I can."

To be continued.....
