Chapter 25
//EUNJEE
Its been weeks since the last time I saw Mark. I know that his on his break right now and it seems like his rumors about dating Sana was clarified and cleared from the media but even so I still havent talked to him. The boys however made sure that they inform me about anything thats happening with them. I've already handed to Doc. Kim all the JYP files and also i've already talked to my lawyer, lets just say that I might just get back to being single anytime soon.
Kang Jin on the other hand manipulates me in everything that I do, i could say that this past few weeks was hell, I cant even remember the last time I slept for more than six hours. He made sure that my schedule was packed with different surgeries even Chief Park was so mad that he almost went to President Lim and hand him his resignation because he just cant stand any of his doctors being treated like how Kang Jin treats me. His also trying to keep me at his side always, If I dont have any patient he makes sure that I get to come with him during his meetings or dinner.
I received quite a few calls from Marks parents but I havent talked to them yet. I know I should be talking to them, at least give them some explanation, im sure my lawyer has informed them already. I know that this marriage could have given me my fathers fortune his last gift for me but I guess i wont be able to get that cannow. I guess I love him that much that I am more than willing to give up everything just to protect him. He hasnt called me nor did he texts me after our last encounter. I guess his mad at me, i cant blame him anyways. If I was him, id be mad at myself too. I did nothing but ruin his life. According to the guys, Mark was planning to visit his parents this coming week, they even told me to go with him so we could fix our relationship but they know the reason why I cant. We can no longer be seen together or Kang Jin might get rid of Mark.
I took out my phone and saw just like how it was hours ago, messages from the guys and also from Minhyuk-ssi flooded my screen. I didnt read their messages because I already know what they want to say or ask. Thats what im good at this past few weeks, ignoring people.
I checked my schedule for this night and it looks like i have another operation in a few hours. I still have a few hours to rest and atleast have some cup of ramyun.
"Yah! Eunjee! I've been looking for you every where" Doc. Kim shouted
"You could have called me"
"Would you have answered if I did" she pointed out which is a bit true. I only answer calls from the emergency and from the Presidents secretary.
"Sorry. Do you need something?" I asked
"Someone wants to talk to you and before you react its not the guys or Mark. His hiding in the parking space below. Go meet him. Ill take your rounds" she pushes me inside the elevator. I was sure to object the idea but shes gone all crazy pushing me inside the elevator and pinning me inside making sure to click the groundfloor button and then leaves me. The elevator dings and the doors slowly opened revealing the ground floor. I walked out of the elevator and saw no one until a bright light flashes to me and I saw a car parked on the darkest corner. It flashed its head light again so I cautiously walked towards it.
A man slowly comes out of the driver side wearing a dark grey sweater and a hat thats covering his face. "Yah! You should come quickly inside before someone sees us both and cause a huge disaster. Get in!" I recognize that voice and I already know why his here. I walked to the passenger side of the car and gets in.
"Make it quick I still have another operation to do" I told him making him look at me.
"Yah! Is that how you talk to your friends now?" Minhyuk-ssi said scolding me "Here" he hands me a paper bag filled with food "thought you might need some real food. Your friend told me that you've been working non stop. You should eat healthy when your working this hard"
"Which friend?" I wondered
"The other doctor. I got her number from the guys since I cant get a hold of you. Shes quite entertaining" he smiles making me raise my brows.
"Thanks for this. But I have to go now. If you want to say something just say it now" he looks at me with worry but I erased the thought from my mind before my tears starts to gather up.
"His going back to LA tomorrow. Are you really going to let things get this crazy? You can just simply find another job and then be happy with Mark." He tells me
"How could I even think like that? If I go out and find another job he'll definitely ruin me and Mark. He can just twist a random story and drag me and Mark down. I cant let that happen. Anyways, as long as Marks out of my way, as long as he keeps his distance away from me he'll be fine. He can just keep living like he normally does" I gave Minhyuk a faint smile before wiping the tears that was about to fall. "You should do the same, he might find out about this and uses you too against me."
"You surely are one of the craziest person I know. Why cant you trust us for once to protect you? He might be some mighty ass billionaire but we are still idols and we also have some connections that can be of great use" Minhyuk explained. He faces me after that before nodding to me and the door "Go. Just stay healthy. Wait and see, we'll save you from that monster" he smiles and i was left astounded. I got out of his car and walked slowly back to the elevator to go up again.
I kept thinking about what Minhyuk said, he might do somethinf crazy but he was right about one thing. I dont trust them enough.
//MARK
"Hyung are you sure you're going without talking to her? I mean you two can still fix this?" Jinyoung asked
I know that they already know about Eunjees decision because they saw the papers when her attorney handed it to me, since then they've been trying to talk to me about it.
"Whats there to fix?" I put my shirts inside my luggage bag, its not that im giving up, its more of I wanted Eunjee to be free. Maybe if we're not together anymore she might just get the freedom she needs from that guy. Maybe she wont need to sacrifice so much anymore.
"Hyung! Cant you atleast try and fight for her, even just a little bit?" Jackson said
"Guys" I sighed facing them "If i could i would but this is the only way I know for me to fight with her. If I do something stupid right now like chase her or ask her to stay, that bastard might just ruin her more. I dont want her to feel so guilty every-time we talk or when we are together. Even if im willing to give up everything now how am I going to support her if she'll just feel as if every thing is her fault. I cant keep her if shes just going to blame herself" i explained to them and that must have made them understand me more.
"Then are you really going to sign those papers? Are you and Eunjee going to really break up now? what about her inheritance?" Jb asked
"I dont know what her plan is but all I can do is trust her that shes doing all of this for a reason. This is the kind of support I can give her for now. I dont have the power to protect her now. Also, i dont want to drag you guys with me if things broke lose. I dont want you guys to suffer and Im sure Eunjee feels the same way" the guys looked at me
"Hyung, i feel sorry that we cant even do anything to protect you and Eunjee noona but we are for you. We'll always support you. Enjoy your break for awhile, we'll come visit you there too in a few days" Bambam said
The other guys didnt argue much, i know how frustrated they are right now and i know they want to help me and Eunjee but just like us, they were also helpless. We still have our careers to protect. They all looked at me as I gather my things to bring for tomorrow. Some of the guys are planning to get home to their own places then they'll go follow me in LA for our world tour. I've already talked to JYP and my vacation was extended until we do our world tour. I wont be back to Korea for at least 3 months because of our world tour.
As for me and Eunjee breaking up, her lawyer is working on it and i've already signed the papers so we'll just wait until the court approves our petition.
"Guys can you leave me for awhile. I need to finish this up and with you all watching my every move. Its a bit awkward" I lied to the guys, I just wanted to be alone for awhile. Im still thinking about talking to Eunjee one last time but im trying to control myself. Im still not sure what Im going to tell her and im afraid that we might just hurt each other again. The guys left me, giving me enough space to think about everything now.
I saw my wedding ring on my nightstand, i know what this means now between Eunjee and Me. I opened my phone and just like yesterday or the days before, I was stuck at just looking to Eunjees number, i never text her nor do I call her. Every time I see her name on my screen a lot of things ran through my mind but even so I just cant press send nor the call button. I might not be able to see her again, but i still have a lot to tell her.
How I wish I still have the time to tell her everything...
//PRESIDENT KJL (kang jin lim)
I always get what I want and now that Eunjee is finally playing along my plans nothing and no one can stop me now.
"Sir" my secretary bows in front of me before giving me a small sized envelope. Inside was a letter address directly to me. Inside the letter was my grand fathers seal. This could only mean one thing.
"His coming back" my eyes grew big and I know that he finds out all my dealings here while he was gone he'll definitely punish me. I was hoping he'd be gone a little while longer since his a busy man thats why I played my plans now. I cant let him find our or else he'll definitely send me away again and that just cant happen.
I wont let it happen.
//EUNJEE
*next day*
I finally get to go home and rest. Today happens to be a miracle to me. Earlier today, Kang Jins secretary informed me that I can have this day to rest. He cleared all mg schedules today and made sure that no one bothers me. Although its quite weird but I didnt complain because I do deserve this rest, i've been working my ass of this past few weeks so I definitely going to make use of this day then I remembered, Today was Marks flight back to LA.
I felt a slight pang on my heart as I got near the apartment. Since I stop talking to Mark I've been staying in the apartment quite often. I still cant ignore the pain and longing I have for him and if I go home to the house and see his things I might just go back to my decision and ran back to him.
I entered my key password on the monitor and my door opens. I'm not usually home this is my third time going here because like what I said i've been working and working back at the hospital. The apartment was just enough for me, i didnt have the time to decorate more but I know that it looks organize enough and presentable. I sat on one of the couches and scrolled through my phone seeing as I already had enough of messages coming from a lot of people.
Mom:
Eunjee-ya? are you okay?
Why are you answering our calls? Pa and I are so worried about you?
Eunjee-ya, your attorney came again and told me that Mark has already signed the papers. Why cant you just two make up?
Pa and I talked to each other and we decided that we will respect your decision. Even if you and my son are not together anymore, I can always be your mom. Ill always support you no matter what.
Take care of your health always.
Yugyeom: We miss you noona :(
We wish to see you :(
Bambam: Noona! dont worry too much. we are taking care of ourselves now. You do the same too.
Minhyuk: You better take care of yourself more you're getting thinner.
Jb: Eunjee-ssi. Marks going now. Cant you two talk for the last time? atleast clear things out between you two.
I keep looking to Jb's message to me, he has a point. Right after I revealed to Mark every thing, we just kind of went away from each other, I mean I do want to talk to him but I was never given the chance to have that kind of miracle.
Even if I talk to him now, things would still lead me here , right at this moment, feeling alone and unhappy.
I was about to stand up and leave my phone when another message came causing me to stop and look at my phone again. The name flashing through my screen now is also the reason why Im being like this.
It was a message...I dared myself to open the message and see what he said.
To my dearest wife.
This took me a lot of guts to type and send to you. Also maybe by the time you read this im already flying back to LA. Mom and Dad would have wanted to see you with me buy I guess things just dont go the way we want them to be.
I felt my heart squeeze in pain again as I read his message, tears are slowly tempting to come out of my eyes.
I actually wanted to tell you a lot of things but I know that if i tell you everything I might just not be able to let you go. I want you to know that I do understand why you chose to break up with me than fight. I do know why you're doing this. Im not mad nor do I have anything against you. If I can do something to protect you i would but I know you'd just feel guilty about it and i jusy cant have you blaming yourself.
Tears are now freely falling from my eyes , i just cant help them, I miss him so much and it just hurts me to know that he feels like that.
I wish I could see you for the last time but i know we both cant do that or he might do something harmful to you. I cant stand the thought of your getting hurt because of me. So please take care of yourself.
By now I was crying so hard that I just cant help the sobs escaping my mouth. My heart keep on beating fast and its squeezing everything inside me making me breathe more harder.
For the past months that weve been together, i've seen a lot of your sides and every bit of it holds a special place in me. In my eyes you'll always be my Mrs. Tuan. Im sorry if it took me so long to say this and I know its making me look like a complete jerk because this is not the way to confess but i want you to know. This is one thing that I cannot hide from you.
I Love You Eunjee
I will always will
How could he say something like that and expect me to just accept this kind of confession? How could he say that when we are breaking up like this?
I threw my phone and cried my hearts out because that where I'm good at, crying and feeling alone. How could he leave me like this? How am I going to forget about him now? He is so unfair.
He didnt even hear my own confession to him. He didnt even give me a chance to tell him everything thats on my mind right now.
"I love you too Mark Tuan, I love you so much that I'm willing to put up with everything just to protect you. How dare you say those words and not show up in front of me?" I screamed my hearts out. I didnt care anymore of somebody hears me all i care right now is the broken peices inside me and the pain its causing me inside.
Don't I atleast deserve a happy ending?
