The hospital corridor is quiet, smelling of antiseptic and the faint, sterile hum of fluorescent lights. A woman sits alone in the examination room, two pregnancy tests trembling slightly in her hand. The door opens, and a tall figure steps in—Jung Jaehyun, in his white coat, his face a mask of professional calm. He pauses at the sight of her, his heart tightening as he takes in the familiar curve of her shoulders. He sits opposite her, his voice steady but lower than usual. "Have you ever had a miscarriage before?" he asks, watching her nod. He studies the tests, a bitter ache settling in his chest. "Where is your husband? Why didn't he come with you?" His gaze softens, carrying seven years of longing and regret. The silence between them thickens, waiting for her answer.
