Whisper Of Death

Chapter 10 | loving husband.

                                                                           ~Three months later~

It was the first three months where Florence had a hard time. She felt homesick and wanted to go home most of the time. The day after breakfast and when Jaemin came back home , he had apologised and excused himself for how he behaved towards her. After those three months, their relationship had grew a lot. Instead of romantically starting their relationship off, they became friends first.

There was no denying in that they both fancied each other. Florence realised that soon after a few weeks and Jaemin, he was attracted to her from the very beginning. Did he agree to it? No. Florence went back to work and met up with Minjun and Yuna multiple times. Whereas for Jaemin, he went back to work. They both didn't seem to go on a date together. A day where both of them just spend time with one another.

They did that at home when he would come back from work. They would spend hours talking to one another, joking and laughing. Florence liked how nothing was forced between them. That's how she wanted to keep it but she would be lying if she said that she didn't wanted to kiss him sometimes. She felt the need to sometimes give Jaemin that little peck on his cheek or tell him that she loved him. 

She did understand that it might be too quick for Jaemin and that he might not see their relationship to that point yet and she understood that. She didn't blame him for it. Maybe her feelings developed more quickly than his. 

It was sometimes worrying too Florence to see Jaemin come back home with bruises on his face or cuts. He always said he was fine but she saw right through him. It didn't work in his favour that Florence was a nurse. She might be specialised in children but she was still quick to tell when something was wrong with an adult. 

"What are you thinking about?" Areum asked as she watched Florence disappearing into her own world. She quickly came back to her senses when she heard Areum's voice. "Huh?" She asked confused. Areum chuckled softly as she looked away from her and looked right in front of her.

It was a quiet night. There wasn't much to do. That's how night shifts looked like but none of them were ready to say that it was a quiet night. As soon as one of them would point it out, they would spoil it for themselves and something major would happen. 

"Thinking when your twelve hour shift will end so you can reunite with your husband?" She asked and Florence almost choked on her saliva and widened her eyes. "Ya. Do you want me to hit you?" Florence asked as she raised her hand. 

"I will sue you for assaulting me. Go ahead." She said very innocently. They both stared at each other for a while before ending up laughing. Florence sighed as she looked at the clock. It was twelve AM. She wondered how Jaemin was doing.

Today was the first time that she wasn't with him during night times. She had asked specifically not to do night shifts so she could spend that little time with him but she ran out of luck. Her manager didn't wanted to do that favour for her anymore. She needed to come back to her normal and usual shifts like before her marriage. 

"Do you miss him?" She asked and Florence sighed out again when she nodded her head. "I do. It is a weird feeling to not be with him right now." She said. Areum sighed out dramatically with her and hugged her. "I wonder if I can find a good husband like Jaemin." She mentioned.

She never had much luck when it came to her love life. It was always the bad guys that she was attracted too and it didn't work in her favour. They were never willing to change for her and they left her sick to her stomach each time they broke her heart. Florence tried setting her up with Minjun but for some reason, she classified him as a brother and nothing more. 

Areum and Florence knew each other ever since they started nursing school together. It was a miracle for Areum to be a nurse. Florence always wondered how she ended up passing her exams because she was a mess. She tried to be there for her and help her as much as she could but she couldn't help someone who continually rejected it. 

She had a hard time and Florence felt for her. But she was glad that Areum was doing better now and she swore that this time, she would choose someone who wasn't out there to break her heart. She would choose a man this time and not a boy who wasn't ready.

"Tell me does Jaemin happen to have a very handsome looking brother?" Areum asked as she looked interested at Florence. Florence laughed as she thought of Jinwoo. He was handsome but was he her type? She wasn't so sure. Their personalities were completely different. 

"He does have a brother." Florence smiled. Areum excitingly sat straight up and held her hands before clapping them. "Ssh.. You will wake up our patients." Florence scolded her as she quickly looked up from the nursing station to see whether one of the children woke up due to her loud tantrum. 

"Sorry.. but omg. Tell me more about Jinwoo." Areum said and the look she gave to Florence, it looked like she was already in love with him. Before Florence wanted to say something, she heard foot steps walking towards their direction.

Florence looked up and she smiled in disbelief when she Jaemin standing there with two cups of coffee in his hands and a big smile around his face. "Jaemin!" She screeched happily. Areum rolled her eyes as she thought back on how Florence made her shut up about being excited and now she was doing the exact same thing. 

"You are here?" Florence asked happily as she hugged him tightly. She inhaled his scent before letting go off him and looked down at the coffee he was holding in his hands. "You are so cute." She said and without really thinking, she came closer and planted a quick kiss on his cheek.

Jaemin was happy to see her surprised and lovely reaction but he froze and became red as soon as her lips touched his cheeks. His cheek was still burning at the sensation of her lips and it wasn't fading any time soon. Florence didn't even realise what she did. She was too excited for him to be here. She grabbed one of the cups out of his hand and then with her other hand, she grabbed his free hand and pulled him with her as they walked.

"Come sit here." She said happily and made him sit down at the nursing station. Was she even allowed to do this? She didn't know and truly, at the moment, she didn't really care either. She was just too happy to see his face. She was missing and thinking about him constantly. This just helped her as much as it helped him. 

"Am I allowed too?" He asked but Florence just shrugged her shoulders. "As long as my manager doesn't see you and she is not on duty at the moment and the nurse in charge is me." She said happily as she stared down at her husband.

"Aish... You two disgust me." Areum rolled her eyes and picked up her phone. She scrolled through Florence's i********: followers, hoping that she might find Jinwoo's profile. She let out a happy squeal when she did and thought twice about following him.

It would be weird if I did this... Areum thought and looked back at Florence and Jaemin who were just happily talking to each other. I guess, I have to wait until she introduces me to him. She pouted her lips and put her phone away as she straight right in front of her. She wished a patient needed her now so she could escape this lovely dove romantic couple. 

"Will you not go to sleep? It is late and you have to wake up early tomorrow." Florence said sadly as she looked at the tiring Jaemin. He definitely was tired. His hair was slightly puffy as always after he takes a shower. Instead of being in a suit, he was in casual clothes and his eyes... His eyes seemed tired. They don't look wide or awake. Florence could have sworn that he would fall asleep here if he got a bed. 

"I will stay with you for a while and then go back home." He smiled and then followed with a yawn. Florence pouted as she shook her head. "Please go home... You will be tired tomorrow." She said sadly again but Jaemin was being stubborn as always. 

"I don't want too." He replied. There was something he wasn't ready to confess. He couldn't fall asleep without her. He was so used by her being next to his side that he could not fall asleep without her, even if he tried. He wouldn't be able to do this.

"But... You have to be at work in less than seven hours. Please listen to me and go to sleep." Florence begged and Jaemin sighed out a bit frustrated. "I don't think I can sleep without you." He looked at her. It caught Florence by surprise. She looked at him with a sad look. "Jaemin... What about sleeping with my t-shirt...? Maybe it will give you my scent." She proposed an idea but Jaemin thought it was stupid.

Her t-shirt wouldn't replace her. Although, it would still smell like her and that's what he needed. When they always sleep together. They don't hug or touch each other. Both of them are on each side of their bed but just having each other's presence made it better for them to fall asleep. 

"I will try it..." He mumbled softly as he stood up and gave the other coffee to Areum. "I won't be able to drink this." He said and then looked back over at his wife. Florence stood up and gave him another hug. "I will be with you when you come back. I don't have a shift tomorrow." She smiled.

It was like music to his ears to just hear that she didn't have to work the next day. 

"I am glad. What do you think about going out for dinner tomorrow?" He asked. Florence released from the hug and looked at him with a smile. "I would love too." She replied happily. She was nervous already but happy at the same time. They were going onto their first date. 

"I will see you in a few hours." He smiled and now it was his time to shock Florence. He came closer, making her lose her breath already. He softly pressed his lips against her cheek and smiled when he was done. 

"Be safe on your way back home..." Florence mumbled as she saw him walk away. Her heart was racing and she felt all giddy. It was like she was back to being a teenager, having her first kiss. It wasn't like she had any before but it truly felt like it. 

Areum coughed catching Florence's attention. "I guess, that was your first kind of kiss." She baited her out. Florence rolled her eyes and sat next to her again. She hated how obvious it was to her. She almost felt like she was an open book to her. She didn't mind it.

Areum was one of her good friends. She still hadn't forgiven her for not being at her wedding but then again, she knew it was late notice. Areum had to work while she missed the beautiful wedding. Did she approve him at first? Hell no. She was ready to stand in front of Jaemin's house and lecture him and warn him.

Minjun and Florence both had to stop her. 

"Yeah... We try not to force our relationship but we have been closer." Florence said with a smile. She looked down at the coffee and took a sip. He didn't even knew what kind of coffee she liked but he still got her one. 

She was more than grateful to have a husband like Jaemin. She was always terrified to end up with someone like her father. Florence wouldn't know what she would have done if she had to marry someone like her father or if Jaemin ended up being like that.

She would have probably ended her life.

Florence never knew how her mother held up with her father being so awful. She never understood it. The stories she had heard. Her father loved her but at the same time, he could be so awfully mean to her. It was more the mean side of it than the loving side.

She was just glad she had someone like Jaemin as her husband. That's all she wished for and wanted.
