Good God, why does everything bad always happen at once!?

Hawkeye finished the final stitches on his last patient. He felt the adrenaline rush through him as he quickly striped off his gloves and ran out to the Jeep that awaited him in the compond. He grabbed his medical bag and jumped in the vehicle... he just hoped he wasn't too late.

The drive to the estate was nerve-wrecking. He felt the wind whip through his hair as he sped through the countryside.

He quickly jerked to a stop as he came upon the estate. He saw Kyong Soon by the door, and he quickly got out of the Jeep with his bag and approached her.

Tears, he saw her tears.

And heard her weeping.

No, no, no! Please no!

No matter how much he pleaded, he still felt his head spin as he came to the reality that he was too late.

"I couldn't leave, I was in surgery..."

Kyong Soon's face was cold and mournful. "I know..."

Hawkeye looked down and shook his head. "I'm sorry... I'm so... sorry..."

"She kept asking for you." Kyong Soon looked up and sighed. "You know, in that demanding voice she has..."

A few more tears streamed down her cheek and she looked back down. "That she had..."

Hawkeye fought to hold back the tears burning at his eyes. He threw his bag to the ground hoping tho release some of his anger... maybe it was sadness... or guilt.

He stepped forwards, extending his arms, ready to pull her in for a tight embrace. Kyong Soon quickly advanced twards him, letting herself be pulled in and held together, she could swear she was falling apart.

They stayed like that for a long time, silently holding each other. The last thing Hawkeye remembered was how her warm tears that began to dampen his clothes were soon accompanied by his own.

I was too late...

Why does everything bad always happen at once...

Why.
