The family embraced young a08011dff6 Joo Taehyun and showered 766b8c44aa him with praise. And for good reason – the a7bf2b3903 medical staff had nothing but compliments 64107f2ef2 for how bravely their little one 96abb49a0d had endured treatment.def4311bab595765553f

“I’m so sorry, I had no idea, I’m truly 3248ed5676 sorry…” Chairman Joo knelt at the foot of the 891951bf8d hospital bed, his shoulders shaking as he wept loudly. The other family b4004b601e members were no a818e51eb3 different. Only young Joo Taehyun tilted his head in confusion, excited bbc33909c8 about going home, feeding the fish and turtles in the 757264f987 small pond in the yard, playing with clay with his bc18207008 brothers and sister, and spending time with mom and dad.21d12304d379556e9792

Fortunately, the manifestation fever only fcd8fd9d97 affected him severely that one 205ddb5d14 time, and he grew up b19c1b9053 without major issues afterwards. Even now at 12 years old, when he was quite tall for his age, the f5ca6962d1 family still called Joo Taehyun “our baby,” “little one,” or “youngest.” This would likely never 52af60c1d2 change, even when Joo Taehyun became an adult and ages into an uncle or grandfather. For the family, Joo Taehyun was forever frozen as that 3-year-old, suffering ddfee9cc7f from manifestation fever, patiently waiting in isolation to reunite with his family.d8cdd63fa706fb4d9c9f
