No Matter What (Pt.2)

"Young Master?"

A woman's voice caused Taehyung to open his eyes. As soon as he did, he found Kalyani looming over him with a concerned countenance.

"Are you alright, Young Master?"

Huh?

Taehyung stirred and soon discovered that he was lying on his bed. What am I doing here? He felt a sharp pain throb at his temple as if someone was hammering a nail at his skull. He grimaced.

Kalyani continued to fuss over him. "You should rest more, Young Master. I will go to Physician Koh and request a tonic…"

But Taehyung couldn't hear what Kalyani was saying anymore. Everything to him sounded like a high-pitch sound causing him to wince in pain. With his eyes firmly shut, he held his head as if to block out the noise but to no avail. It was only when a sudden, blurry image of a woman's smile flit across his foggy memory did he have a moment of clarity.

"Young Master?"

Taehyung's eyes flew open and he saw Kalyani staring at him worriedly. Just as she was about to speak, something warm slid down his cheek and landed on the blanket draped in front of him. Taehyung looked down and saw several small droplets follow suit.

Concerned, Kalyani attempted to ask again, "Young Master, what's wrong?"

But Taehyung didn't know either. He returned her questioning stare as he asked the question both wanted to know the answer to.

"Why am I… crying?"
