Nearly two hours passed but there was still no sign the white room was going to open. The light above the door of the room is still burning red, indicating that the operation that is being carried out has not been completed. Taehyun's body seemed to be starting to weaken. He was too tired to stand up and walk back and forth at the door, until he stopped and let his body succumb. He sat in the waiting chair beside Baekki and Jihyun. His eyes were closed with his back leaning and his two clinging fingers restless. He prayed for salvation for Nara and her daughter Airin, who were struggling to keep her life there.
"Calm down. Nara's gonna be fine." Said Madam Kim while clasping Taehyun's hand which continued to move uneasily.
"Eommanim.."
"Yes, eomma knows how you feel, son. But there's nothing we can do. We can only pray for the safety of both."
Nara's mother is trying to look tough. But still he can't lie to his feelings. His eyes could not lie because the clear circle had already slid beautifully on his cheeks. Mrs Kim remembered that day. The day her once-so-small daughter was growing up and becoming a mother. That day, the day Shin's doctor told Nara that she was pregnant, Nara called him. She even sounded so happy when she said 'Eomma, I'm pregnant..'
Nara almost cried in happiness as she said that. Maybe not only Taehyun, Nara's father and mother actually expect too much from Airin. They loved the baby figure in Nara's womb even though the baby had never been born and they saw it with the bead of her eyes. The first granddaughter of the Han family and the Kim family was almost lifeless, tormented in her mother's stomach and not knowing how fate would define her life.
"I'm sorry, ma'am. Forgive me.." cried Taehyun who also could not endure the pain in his heart.
Madam Kim shook her head, trying to stop the man's regret by hugging his body tightly. Stroked her back and hoped Taehyun would be tougher.

Nearly three hours passed in tears. Nobody there looked happy. Everyone waited with anxious and fearful feelings. But when the door was opened, and doctor Shin came out, all at once welcoming.
Taehyun stood up quickly and approached doctor Shin. Baekki also did not stay silent. He immediately followed Taehyun and escorted him from behind considering that his president had a big problem in emotional self-control. Baekki doesn't want Taehyun to go back to yelling at Doctor Shin. So he continued to control Taehyun's movements.
"How's it?" ask Taehyun.
The doctor was only silent for a moment, considering having to tell the truth to this man, or covering it all up. Doctor Shin glanced at Baekki. Staring deeply at him was like asking for protection and consideration from him. Baekki understood the meaning of that gaze. He nodded faintly but was still very wary behind Taehyun.
"I managed to lift your daughter from her mother's womb-"
"really? How's he doing?" cut Taehyun impatiently. Doctor Shin again sighed heavily.
"He survived. But as I suspected, the heavy bleeding and rupture of the amniotic fluid in Nara's womb caused her respiratory distress. His heart rate is still very weak. Too bad I have to say this. But your son is in critical condition.."
"W-What?"
"We had to put it in an incubator by attaching an oxygen slang to it. We'll wait until tomorrow morning. If his heart rate improves and stabilizes then he can get through his critical period."
Taehyun. His body was getting harder to stand. Whatisthis? So his son can't necessarily survive? What about Nara? Yes, Nara. Taehyun immediately remembered the woman.
"Nara?" taehyun said difficult. There was a fear that kept haunting him.
"We did our best. He lost a lot of blood. Although we believe everything has improved, but Nara still has not passed the critical period. We also hope he'll come to his senses soon."
Blam..
Lost all Taehyun's hopes. None of the two people he loved would survive. Both Nara and her daughter Airin are in critical and unconscious condition. Taehyun's head throbbed dizzy. Alright, he should start thinking about drawing up his death plan after this. If the two men do not survive, for God's sake Taehyun will go after the two. He doesn't care. His life is on the verge of destruction now.
"Don't think stupid! They'll be safe!" as if he could read the despair in Taehyun's eyes, Baekki said soothingly. But Taehyun paid no heed at all. He's tired.
.

.
A while waiting finally Nara and Airin moved to their respective rooms. Nara is in the hospital's VVIP room, while Airin is in an incubator in the nursery with a terrible condition. Since Taehyun, Baekki and Jihyun waited for Nara who was still asleep unconscious. Mrs Kim and her husband, Jira, prefer to wait for Airin in front of an isolated nursery.
Actually, they don't have to be there, because everything is free. They can't go in and see Airin up close. The nursery does not allow the patient's family to enter. But the two grandmothers could not leave Airin in her prime time alone. Letting the baby, who is only a few hours old, go through a critical period and struggle to live on his own.
The three stared at each other fretfully, watching Airin through the baby's window and seeing the child neither moving nor crying. Baekki and Jihyun arrived. Taehyun's trust secretary looked so respectful when asking Jira, Lady Kim as well as her husband to go home and rest. Yes, Taehyun did ask Baekki to do that. Replacing his mother's duty to look after Airin tonight. She did not want her mother to feel the fatigue she was feeling.
In the other room where Nara was treated, the woman lay weak. Still unconscious and sound in his dreams. Seeming in pain, Nara repeatedly scrunched her forehead. But it seemed too difficult for Nara to open both her eyes. Taehyun was sitting next to his wife alone, holding tightly to Nara's fingers and praying for her consciousness. Deep inside Taehyun actually he was swaying udders. One side in him asked him to stay there. But there is another side, which has continued to rebel to look and see how the condition of his daughter Airin who is also in a very alarming condition. The clock on Taehyun's wrist continued to move slowly, entering midnight time and continuing to move past him. Taehyun was convinced Nara was a tough woman. Yeah, he's strong.
"You'll be fine, won't you if I leave? Just briefly. Please keep breathing. Hang in! I'll just go for a minute to see our daughter's condition." Taehyun said.
He kissed Nara's forehead at a glance wrapped in bandages, then stood up and gradually released his hand that grasped Nara's hand while continuing to repeat the sentence 'he will be fine, he will be fine, he'll be fine' in his heart.
Taehyun walked into the baby room with his shaky footsteps. He saw Baekki and Jihyun standing outside the room, carrying out his orders to wait for his Airin. Taehyun approached the two with a very serious face. Baekki looked at him with his angry eyes.
"You just standing outside?" tanya Taehyun was a little harsh.
"Doctors don't let anyone but nurses into the baby's room!" reply Baekki also with a tone that is equally ignited emotions. Both are in very tired condition. Especially Baekki who really had to run around to overcome everything.
"Then move Airin to another room where there's only him, and you can watch over him freely!"
"HEY YAK!!" the narrow-eyed man began to snap at the emotions he was still trying to control.
"You think this hospital is yours, which you can arrange as you please?!"
"I can use my money to make this hospital mine, as long as Airin and Nara get the best care. Do everything you can to handle it!"
Baekki sniffed, turning his face away while breaking tired. "Always like this!" his grunts with annoyance that could be easily examined from the look of his face. Jihyun clasped Baekki's hand, stroked him slowly and tried to temper the anger of her beloved.
"What are you waiting for? Quickly meet the hospital and negotiate. I-SHOULD-ENTER!" taehyun snapped again with undisputed emphasis. He looked at Baekki so sharply that the secretary sulked. But he had no other choice but to go and carry out the orders of his superior.
After a heated argument, the patient-in-charge doctor Shin let the three men in. Taehyun could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes as he now stood in front of a small incubator where his beautiful baby was visibly tormented by the oxygen slang attached to his nose, and other medical equipment attached to his hands and feet. What a poor little baby.

Taehyun watched Airin's face. The Spring of Tears was the fusion of her eyes and Nara. Sharp eyes that look very pretty. His nose, his lips were indeed a picture of Nara's figure firmly attached there. This is his son, the baby he had been waiting for nine months for. Taehyun really admired the beautiful blend in Airin's body. A perfect match between himself and Nara. The man really wanted to hug his daughter. He had even read the instruction manual for caring for a baby, and he was eager to practice what he had learned over the past nine months.
But baby, the goddamn glass keeps getting in the way. She can't even touch her sweet little baby. Jihyun, the round-eyed beauty almost cried when she saw how badly Taehyun looked hurt. He also felt pain in his heart. There was an unbearable feeling that was too deep when I saw Airin in such a tormented state. Shouldn't a newborn baby cry happily in his mother's arms? But Airin was fighting for his life. Oh, God, aren't you a little too cruel to this family? Is there no happiness for Taehyun? No, destiny is never wrong and cannot be blamed. Because destiny is not something under our control.
At that time the nurse came to bring a bottle of milk and was about to give it to Airin. Taehyun who initially only noticed, finally started to move protectively to prevent it. He took over the milk bottle the nurse was carrying and put his hand in the\-hole hole in the incubator tube. Taehyun touched his hand with a little fear to the skin of Airin's soft hand, stroked it and amazed him.
Oh, my God, this is real. The man could actually feel that his Airin was real. He can touch it. Taehyun turned on the baby's head and stroked him dearly. Airin responds by making small movements. He squirms due to the soft touch of his father's fingers. The little baby also smiled towards Taehyun.

Right, which son in the world wouldn't know his father? Although this is the first time the two have really touched in this world, but Airin has memorized the warm feeling of Taehyun's hand that every morning caresses him through Nara's stomach. There is an invisible closeness between the two. Taehyun wanted to hold her, kiss her and touch her nose and mouth on Airin's pale cheeks. He really wanted to do that.
Baekki continues to capture the moment through his cellphone camera while smiling happily. Wishing Airin would live, so Taehyun would stay like this later.

It's getting night. In two hours the sun will start to shine, and Taehyun still hopes that his little baby can last for another two hours. Doctor Shin did say if Airin can survive until this morning, it means his lungs and heart rate are running normally. And it is possible for the baby to live a healthy life. Taehyun prayed incessantly, hoping that Nara and the baby would survive. He even kept up all night without sleeping next to Airin.
But it seems like God has other plans. At three o'clock in the morning, Airin had a small cough. His breathing suddenly slowed down and his face grew pale. Airin's heart had stopped for a moment, it was monitored on a medical device next to it that continued to sound.
"No! No, Airin..” murmured Taehyun frantically. He touched the glass of the confused incubator, while his head kept turning to Baekki.
"I'll call the doctor" cried Baekki.
He ran out to find where Dr. Shin was. Jihyun who was with Taehyun just stood still, too afraid to approach her superiors who really looked scared and frightened.
"Jihyun-ah, what should I do? Airin looked in pain.." Taehyun was worried.
Jihyun also looked confused to answer. Taehyun's shoulder touched while trying to calm down.
"Calm president. The doctor will be here soon." said the girl softly.
Not long after, doctor Shin ran into the baby room. Taehyun was asked to come out so as not to block his path to save Airin's life. At first the man\-man refused, staying firm on his stance to be next to his daughter. But when he saw Airin's face growing pale, Taehyun gave up. He immediately came out, not wanting to waste\-precious time to interfere with the work of the doctors there.
Taehyun stood outside the nursery restlessly. Once again, he was seen shedding tears of pain. She was just standing alone beside the baby room door. Baekki was deliberately away, standing opposite him with Jihyun, because he still felt annoyed at Taehyun's behavior today. But other things with Baekki, Jihyun actually felt pity. He walked slowly over to Taehyun and stroked his arm slowly.
"Airin will be fine president. Believe me.." Jihyun's round eyes stared at the silent face of Taehyun's troubled face. Carrying the calm feeling that the man naturally felt. Taehyun pulled Jihyun's body, hugging her. He leaned his head that was spinning heavily on Jihyun's shoulder. There was no other meaning in fact, it was just that the man felt the burden on his shoulders was too heavy and he just wanted to lean on for a moment. Jihyun simply widened her eyes in shock.
"I have to how? I should how?" Taehyun seemed to have lost his logical mind. He fussed indistinctly until suddenly a loud jolt the two felt as Baekki forcefully pulled Jihyun's arm. Separate it from the body of the president. Baekki gave Taehyun a pretty harsh warning look. A little bit of a piqued feeling when hers was touched. The man was angry, and Taehyun realized he was a little outrageous.
"Sorry.." muttered Taehyun softly. He sat on the waiting bench and rubbed his face in frustration. Seeing such an expression Jihyun again felt pity. He intends to approach Taehyun, but he immediately paused because Baekki directly blocked him.
"Take care of your attitude Shin Jihyun!" threaten Baekki hard.
.
.
.
Twenty minutes passed, finally doctor Shin came out of that room. His face looked very tired with the sweat drenching his forehead. He walked over to Taehyun who was sitting down and touched his shoulder slowly but implied various meanings there.
"Hows it? Is airin okay?" tanya Taehyun was worried.
The doctor was silent for a moment. He sighed deeply from his lips and then shook his head slowly.
"I'm sorry, but your daughter is no longer alive.."
"What?" Taehyun nodded in disbelief. He immediately looked towards Baekki, who was,
"Baek, what did he just say? Quickly find out the state of Airin. Move him to another hospital!"
Baekki and Doctor Shin looked at each other. The doctor shook his head again, as if he was signaling Airin's death through his gaze. And Baekki nodded in understanding.
"Taehyun-ah, he's dead." Baekki makes it clear.
“Airin is dead.” Baekki had trouble saying the name.His heart was also hit. All this is too sad for him.
Instantly Taehyun shouted hysterically, screaming in his tears that sounded bitter.
"NO!! NAY!! Airin.." the sparkle in tears.
He walked into the baby's room and saw Airin's immobile body. The baby is no longer breathing. Taehyun. He let himself sit helplessly on the floor of the hospital's nursery. Under the body of Airin that has begun to feel cold. Baekki tried to calm down, but it was all for nothing. His airin had died, the little angel he had been waiting for, Han Airin whom he loved so much.
"No Airin, you have to live. Your mother hasn't even seen you, baby.."
“You can't go like this.”
“What should I tell your mother later? Please dear, hold on.” Taehyun said while crying bitterly. He was no longer ashamed of it. All Taehyun was doing right now was tightly hugging the lifeless body of his little baby in a sobbing.
“God, why are you doing this to me? Is it my fault that you punish me like this?” Taehyun's chest felt so tight. He leaned down to kiss his son's cheek and clenched him tighter. As if he didn't want to let go. Anyone who sees the sight will have no power to stem his grief. As Baekki and Jihyun are currently doing. The two share tears of sadness over Airin's departure.
