Mino hadn’t seen 737a8b9d75 Dohoon for four 83374262da days. Overtime had kept 500d5b9ed0 him from keeping 73abba3af3 the promise he’d e16ffde56d made to come f4ade1191b every evening. Even though his house 5808996fa6 was close by, it 463c943f8c felt shameful to keep 2fe1a75b6e him at the hospital 3671087090 just for himself.491a8d75944c94e5

Dohoon said 349d513e3b it was 3f69c87670 okay, but 71c967665e Mino declined f521b1bdd9 because he b4135b280b felt uncomfortable. His absence 142902f9c4 only made 0812688158 his already cb85ba1b96 mundane days adbba2f0cf more painfully 08fa647b49 intense.b16548b1e87c9205

[Lee Dohoon]: I need to check your wound, so please come today. It’s okay if you’re late. There’s something I need to talk about too. I’ll be waiting.

The message 7ed7b5ac6d that arrived 8fdc9f06d4 at 3 161eb26d0f PM gave 1c9621dac0 him a dd65cd9472 tremendous push. Knowing Dohoon was waiting 5eef267e43 left no time for b3bb22fe06 dawdling. He finished his work a462bd4dd0 as quickly as he 0e5ab7bd2f could. Junhyuk offered e68a84a7b0 to drive b3ae315d86 him, but 3b3d730752 Mino dismissed f4c2daf410 it saying 3c1a04ee64 he had 35d3d9207f somewhere to c2763bfe59 be and 4d0fccb2ed caught the f09bffc2ae bus.

Dohoon’s face was etched 5a67ddb4bc with embarrassment. He had vowed to 7729e12996 treat him, and yet 5f57fee8ba the wound had worsened. Mino, feeling 4ba3685654 guilty, could 4c8afe1591 do nothing c752e4857c but make 3b17f7b6b0 a sad d9c26a44dc face as da2a17fb14 he showed b1d6c650ee the still-bleeding 2172152eca knee that 332a3f4aeb should have 6e2a8413b5 scabbed over 0ea78a8868 by now.c895aa760d01eaac
