"BEYOND TIME AND WAR: A LOVE LEFT UNFINISHED" (Chapter:- 2)

                                 "Captains, Chaos & Unexpected News"

[Military Base – Early Morning]

As they turned around, a smile appeared on their faces. It was none other than Captain Taehyung, who had just returned after visiting his mother. She had been feeling unwell, so he had gone to check on her.

Jimin: "Oh, look who's back! Captain Taehyung, finally gracing us with his presence!"

Jungkook: "How’s Aunty feeling now?"

Taehyung: (nods) "She’s better now."

Jungkook: (smirks) "By the way... someone's been blushing a lot these days, hmm?"

Jimin: (nudges Taehyung, grinning) "Of course, he is! Now that he finally has a girlfriend, how could he not?"

Taehyung: (scoffs) "Hoye, hoye! Who's blushing? I did not!"

Jungkook: (shakes his head) "Yeah, yeah, sure. Keep telling yourself that."

Jimin: (dramatic sigh) "Ugh, when will I get someone, huh?"

Jungkook: (laughs) "Oh, our dear shorty No. 1, don’t worry. You’ll find someone too… one day."

Taehyung: (chuckles) "Yeah, maybe in the next century."

Jimin: (gasps) "Yaah! You guys are so mean!" (playfully chases after them)

The three of them ran across the ground, their laughter echoing in the air.

                                                                         

 [A Sudden Announcement]

Just then, a call came for all captains to report to the senior post. Without hesitation, they headed upstairs, where their higher-ups awaited them. As soon as they entered, they straightened up, saluted, and stood at attention.

Senior Officer: (clears throat) "There’s an important announcement. In two days, a team of doctors will be arriving. They will accompany you on missions. Additionally, all of you are required to call your parents here for a discussion. That is all. Dismissed."

The captains saluted once again before exiting the hall.

[After the Meeting]

Jimin: (dramatic sigh) "Damn, this really reminded me of school days. You know, when the principal used to say, 'Tell your parents to attend the meeting.'"

Taehyung: (laughs) "True! Except this time, there’s no punishment… hopefully."

Jungkook: (shrugs) "Well, if you don’t call your parents, maybe they'll make you run 20 laps around the base."

Jimin: (fake cries) "Nooo! I don’t want to die so young!"

The others chuckled at his theatrics before heading off for practice. After all, they were captains—training was second nature to them.

YN'S POV~

[Outside the Hospital – Early Morning]

                                                                               

As you stepped off the bus and headed toward the hospital, your gaze drifted to the side—a nearly empty park, quiet and untouched by the rush of the city. Something about it pulled you in. Without thinking, your feet changed direction.

You looked up at the sky, its vastness swallowing you whole. And then, you saw her—not really, but in your mind, her face was as clear as if she were standing right in front of you. A sad smile tugged at your lips.

                                                                              

YN: (whispers) "I miss you… It hurts. There's no one left who loves me."

You hugged yourself tightly, as if that could hold the emptiness inside.

YN: (softly) "I miss you so much..." I was so damn tired.

I became a doctor to escape—to stay too busy to think, too occupied to remember.

Tears pricked the corners of your eyes, but you refused to let them fall.

But deep down, you knew… no amount of work could change the past. No matter how much you tried to forget, some wounds never heal, especially when the truth remains buried.

YN: (mutters to herself) "Alright, Dr. Y/N, your patients are waiting."

With that, you turned and walked toward the hospital, pushing everything back where it belonged—buried deep inside.

[Inside the Hospital – Just Another Day, or Maybe Not?]

But just as you stepped onto your floor, a voice rang out—sharp, irritated, and all too familiar.

                                                                                

Senior Director: "Y/N!"

You resisted the urge to roll your eyes. Ah, here comes Senior Director Buffalo.

Forcing a polite smile, you turned around.

YN: "Yes, sir?"

His face was already red with frustration.

Senior Director: (crossing arms) "Who gave you permission to do that?"

YN: (in mind) What the hell did I do now?

Senior Director: (scoffs) "Who allowed you to take all those patients outside for a walk?"

You let out a dry laugh.

YN: (mock surprise) "Oh? And who gave you permission to keep them locked up like prisoners?"

Senior Director: (glaring) "Now you're going to argue with me?"

You exhaled sharply, your patience thinning.

YN: "Sorry to say, Mr. Senior Director, but I refuse to accept this."

His lips curled into a smug smirk.

Senior Director: "Oh? We'll see about that, Dr. Y/N. Let's see how you refuse when I make the final call."

YN: (firmly) "I don’t care if the order comes from a ministry official or the head of the hospital. This is my final decision."

With one last glance, you turned on your heels and walked toward your cabin, frustration bubbling within you.

How could they? How could they do this to the patients whose own parents abandoned them here? What was their fault? Just because they weren’t like other children?

Do these people even understand what being bound feels like? Of course not.

[Children’s Ward – The Only Place That Feels Right]

Lost in your thoughts, you made your way to the children's ward. As soon as you reached the door, your stomach churned at the sight of the plaque—“Pagal Bacche” (Crazy Kids).

YN: (muttering to herself) "Who the hell even approved this name? I swear, I should just rip it off."

Taking a deep breath, you stepped inside, putting on a warm smile. Instantly, little faces lit up, and within seconds, they were all running toward you.

YN: (chuckling, ruffling their hair) "Did everyone sleep well?"

Kids: (in chorus) "Yes, doctor!"

YN: (grinned)"Since you all played so well yesterday, I brought a little something for you." (pulls out a bag) "Who wants chocolate?"

Kids: (squealing) "Me! Me! Me!"

You chuckled, handing out the treats, but just as you did, the door swung open. A staff member stepped in.

Staff Member: "Dr. Y/N, the senior director is calling you."

Your smile faded instantly.

Now what does that buffalo want?

You turned to the kids, forcing a small smile.

YN: "Finish your chocolates, okay? I'll be right back."

With that, you headed to the senior director’s cabin, taking a deep breath before knocking on the door.

Knock. Knock.
