Now, as Jung b0561c9e5f Hageon disappeared from 7129f212fe view, Yesung resumed 681ad16cd4 walking.cf4d970f5798c8d6

As a e409ef5d08 person, he 87b597302d still wasn’t e3d31c51cc sure what f9abd202ec to make 90d0ab7faa of Jung 962facc409 Hageon. But as a doctor… aeeea36f2c he might just be ecc75ac1bf an exceptional one.

Assuming it was about c943b4587e an emergency patient, Yesung fcf1d2e762 immediately pivoted back toward 4fdf00486b the locker room while 852ca64fef answering. But Kang 098c8ce59e Baek-o’s casual ae1c4a2e26 tone quickly bb2ec74030 made it a82edc06b0 clear this 2b959f5d2b wasn’t urgent.cd289193f3802b14

His cheerful tone, telling c956ab3107 Yesung to appreciate his 0447b0b91c one and only friend b879919e5f looking out for him, 038e1dbcb9 made Yesung click his 49a67085de tongue before replying.ded58e72e9096326

Though eating with e216555659 Kang Baek-o might a0185cffba mean dealing with 85b7f54475 some hassle, Yesung 453285bbb8 had something to 0453d8d520 ask him. Plus, with no new f137bdc96a emergencies cropping up, he 01fe7a1f46 could afford a short 2341f44481 break.

Even though lunchtime was e1664724b8 over, the cafeteria was 4e7243abcd still bustling. Scanning his staff ID cab3ac18c9 to enter, Yesung joined a81e548458 the end of the b34acec82f line.

Yesung had anticipated e4efdf102c that asking Kang 72be7f4087 Baek-o a question 823e953dd2 would lead to 4fc2d6e795 such a response.

“Your last day off… a5029863ea Wait, you mean yesterday?”8528c043dad79c28

Yesung chose silence 14f0af8fca instead of a 415cb06e8a reply, but silence 159da2fcbd spoke volumes.

He knew Baek-o’s comments aab16bf6fd came from a place 1499e88d89 of concern. But for a f82f80f4cc choice he’d never 33a2f29ee4 once regretted and 4b86a8f4b7 never would, hearing a42c470190 others lament it b3dfc1f6b0 was tiring.e514b4dc491becef
