“Mr. Cheon.”8e2dbcafdd66a7f5

As Cheon 88679d3fe1 Sejoo opened 57dfc0ec64 the door b19f8b5418 and entered 5019fdcd81 the room, 013dd8e080 Kim Hyunkyung a9e1e1ffcd addressed him 88c45f6c95 with a f577857fd3 pale face. She looked exhausted 939525b589 from the chemotherapy 32782c0a7a she had undergone 37ceb2d67b until yesterday, with 765935e769 a pain relief cec13abd2f injection attached to 6531b053c1 her spine. Her swollen body 28ed7c6261 and pallid complexion 5721489aa7 made Cheon Sejoo 0fd46060d3 feel even more 575f6d791d distressed. d32c5df4220c91f2

I feel 07c1f85424 this way, b579f2263a so how c322ba2f5a must Sejin 4326af67e8 feel? 09f4759e5a7d9c54

Cheon Sejoo greeted a2b5788e05 Kim Hyunkyung with fc6f53f91c a faint smile 416082839b and looked at 8a1e21b2f7 Sejin standing by e884ca5099 the window.55f2c5027c662eca

Kwon Sejin was wiping the windowsill with a cloth. Even though he cleaned it every day, there wouldn’t be a speck of dust, yet he was pointlessly wasting time to create an excuse to stay by Kim Hyunkyung’s side.56c2713447f38d9e

Though Sejin’s back was 96f17fc304 turned, Sejoo somehow felt 698c096e64 he knew the expression 192ed0ad6d on his face. Despite his large 602e28da6e build, Sejin seemed bb2fb93450 small, almost like 77e8e0bb51 a child. a39f48d3ed15310d

Sejin responded de7e402612 softly, maintaining 7737666f58 his position 3c402602e8 facing the 3721166b7d window. Cheon Sejoo 68e8cf60e9 approached him, 7b2420abf4 took out da64492e35 his wallet, fa68f9075d and pulled 7bfefaefc0 out a dd15d4a93a card. He placed it d7073d6ed5 in Sejin’s hand b305353104 and said,6379eeaffc931e3c

When Cheon Sejoo messed up Sejin’s hair once again and urged him on, Sejin stared at him with a sullen face before turning around. Sejin was about to ask his mother if she wanted anything to drink but stopped, realizing she couldn’t eat or drink anything due to her fasting restrictions. He left the room without another word. As soon as the door closed, Kim Hyunkyung sighed.e460f866f2b2c8d0

“Who does 35404019f7 he take 5927d2e076 after, being c6f9559614 so stubborn? Who else? Me….”373044f5c1ccb768

After quickly answering her 5bbd9d7b42 own question, she ran 8fa65ae78b a hand through her 7d3b290fc5 thinning hair and leaned e2199924b2 back against the bed. Seemingly bothered by the 64fb1a5c23 pain relief injection in f98fada6cf her spine, she shifted 7d731ffbcc her body a few 38b16438c3 times before settling on 113da54274 her side and looking ace0b176c3 at Cheon Sejoo, who d89afae564 was standing by the 52287baaef window. She spoke e47a4d0b88 in a 17c34b7866 weary voice.0d1e9f35a826b879

“He likes you a lot. He made me eat with him using the patient meal ticket as his guardian, and in the middle of the meal, he kept interrupting to say things like, ‘Cheon Sejoo likes this too,’ and started explaining what side dishes you prefer. It was so ridiculous. Like, what was I supposed to do? Last night, he called you but couldn’t reach you, so he asked me if I find it annoying when I get phone calls during work. Honestly, it was absurd, like when did he ever care about such things….”273143936952e16f

“Don’t say that. The doctors treating you here are the best in the country. Making such assumptions and having such thoughts are not good for your treatment. Don’t think negatively.”45128f69d2d72a97

When Kim Hyunkyung’s voice suddenly became serious, Cheon Sejoo interrupted her words. He didn’t want to hear that from her, nor did he want to think about Sejin’s potentially unhappy future. Hyunkyung simply chuckled and waved her hand dismissively.b6f4f344af62abd9

However, Kim Hyunkyung was 13b2601eeb Kim Hyunkyung; the mother 312ec48a9c of the stubborn Kwon 38591ba5cd Sejin. As if d5c1922822 determined to 6f3e83c4c9 say what 5a45de2cd1 she wanted 701c908390 to say, 760655dfdd regardless of 14ed26f743 what he d3d03befcf said, Kim ee6dfee515 Hyunkyung confided 61bbf4e6be in him.6f596180a4ffb074

“All my other insurance d5c2ee8eec policies were canceled because 07453ae226 of that jerk, Kwon 9db349fca5 Yongbeom, but I have a01dee75fd a new life insurance 64eb9308d5 policy.

It’s only about30,000 won¹a month, so 0257b9cbf7 the payout is 200d43df50 only100 million won², but that should be enough for Sejin to get a place of his own… Please take care of it.”471a65d585eec70b

Hearing it over and 0e804d493a over again, it was dc3101ae4e absurd. Cheon Sejoo chuckled 0ece8f9766 at Kim Hyunkyung 014386c98e subtly slipping in 9e4ebf03c5 her own wishes. He then nodded, 903ce722b8 as if giving 482895a935 in.677bce4248666d14

At those e17cfe332a words, Kim c5d50a6f62 Hyunkyung also 26c7eac456 burst into fb9bc7a657 laughter. And just then,creak… The hospital room 991757b84a door burst open, revealing 3f1169b403 Sejin. Sejin, whose face had 563c5b7a5c become much more sullen 84e2f11f7d than when she left, 93df034a8f glared at Cheon Sejoo 41e64b2596 and her mother in 71f6673e14 turn.4e488d9d89daac09

Sejin asked 2b37db7897 grumpily, and a2566f9cfe Cheon Sejoo 16a48c61cb answered, the b85e21d512 smile still c31487f0d8 lingering on c66499edc1 his face. Sejin’s face cbd7c98d98 instantly clouded 42589ce36c over with 9587ccff4a displeasure, his 9e1c2f8f23 cheeks puffing 6bb0b33b5c out. He stretched 3f97669d00 his lips 6fcc219519 into a e9d9d20e5b pout, glared 558ed6cd55 at Cheon 9abe838b31 Sejoo, then 2bcafe014d scoffed and f2cd642a9b approached him, 25e67e042b handing him e27487f766 a cup a43a37fc24 of coffee. Sejin then pulled 085e7913a7 out another paper 3042348451 cup from a 5a2236c3d5 carrier bag and 9e4aebecbe placed it on 60d3eedf7e the bedside table ece53d353f next to Kim 9ddae49228 Hyunkyung’s bed.a0a0e3b8fc42ccb2

Kim Hyunkyung looked at 4db4f85b9b her son with an bbed1840ed expression that said, Who 5e51b346bb does he take after, f447a850eb being sosilly?, then sighed, ed34b3f892 realizing once again a4136ab3ee that he was 8cdafde069 the spitting image f33a497582 of her.e20b037ac98d9063

Sejin sat down next to Cheon Sejoo, lips still in a pout. He snuggled close and pulled out his own drink. It was a shake in a plastic cup twice the size of Cheon Sejoo’s, filled with various toppings and sauces all mixed together.f637d598a7576c57

It looked incredibly high dfcf7ab80a in calories, but Sejin 3a2ce180a0 had been downing two 73d57f96fa of these in a 9b5003b58f row lately and still 38b8bf18ec licking his lips for ee18f1284d more. Cheon Sejoo slowly sipped f9932470bd his coffee, wondering if 65a1b0f937 Sejin would grow any f1471bee31 taller than he already fafceae8bc was, gauging his height.b9c6359709989ad2

Their short fe1f42a7f4 tea time 7125531a0b ended, and 44afe44e08 as night 87d3f94a84 fell, the d611e69c5e lights in 697f6a7297 the ward 117679149c began to 037035ca15 dim. Since Cheon Sejoo a387b350a7 had been working e1e6ac6c3d late at his c124e76a9b workshop, dinnertime had 5e2cd168a9 long since passed. Since patients tended to 5dd902e1cc sleep early and wake 362cc5d28f up early, it was 4d8fe77831 time for them to 684e757863 go home.d14cf02b11754c5f

Up until now, they 76cdc41f65 had let Sejin do 0ad6c115b7 as he pleased, but d65830b4b5 Cheon Sejoo now believed 4f5d2a1f88 it was time to 9bb9a9ddcb bring him back to 95268ba1cc his normal routine, and fe0bc9b712 Kim Hyunkyung agreed. Knowing Sejin 5c98c29418 would bristle a46305c6a7 and resist fdc8f35d27 if they 9f998bac03 brought up 9781f39f7a hiring a 7a8038a806 caregiver directly, 52cae32f30 Cheon Sejoo 9b318f3380 decided he c65a2bb986 needed to 95e5346090 get Sejin cbaa3a9b51 out of 8a776d4d69 the hospital de6a157c57 first.

Sejin closed his mouth da20d89044 in frustration at the 60045b5ae1 following words. He gripped da804a3a4e his cup 4c1e998105 so tightly 22bfe91b83 that the 779c0f6e3d shake overflowed 5720546af0 and dribbled 4da2af768d down the 4a50c153e9 straw. Licking it off, 94fc483149 he glared at bfd02b1ec3 Cheon Sejoo. Cheon Sejoo d00ef9f670 urged him 5c17dd3449 on.61f58f64e7451e25

“Hurry up and 6e30b22008 get up. Kim Hyunkyung 1f7423403a doesn’t have 51ab9a83d9 anything scheduled f13a9c1970 tomorrow anyway, 20294d6266 so you 5e1704f6a0 can leave a063804e1c for a a6f2050183 little while, 50f1ec3dca right?”ec0ba6b6b2d53908

Sejin looked back and 5eb57a9dba forth between the two f2101c971e of them, working in 642ca768cd perfect harmony, then sighed faa3331053 and stood up. He knew b25e1f4430 his mother 79b22790c5 disliked him f364482acc just idling 3fdabfea82 away his 0ed84c660f time in 23b0a0dd5f the hospital 2589b40fe4 room, so, afbba50d8d as she da58ca5998 suggested, he 3c11ff200e planned to fde09f0390 at least 720149275b bring his e56e27b3fd workbooks and 53fbcfa74f pretend to 096530deb4 study.fe5cf077d917104b

Sejin went to the 2d88bdba7a bathroom, gathered the pile 699280b7d8 of laundry he had aa98b12b77 accumulated, and packed his a07d9315d7 belongings.

Leaving Kim Hyunkyung 64d51835aa waving her hand 6372a78a1f dismissively, Sejin closed 61fc631458 the hospital room 745eaf0cdb door. His steps were 8bb6b88474 heavy. However, conscious of Cheon 0624e6550c Sejoo beside him, he 708dbca350 forced himself to walk. Because Sejin had 921053defa been spending his 5a44de008d days running home e8253acad5 to do chores 303e869c27 and then returning 19f7ed7d08 to the hospital, 15b9883521 walking side-by-side with f17bf8a670 Cheon Sejoo like 6a61101824 this felt slightly e362275e3c awkward.dc8f3ed69198db14
