The family embraced young Joo Taehyun 37319efbd9 and showered him with praise. And for good reason – the medical b539c6fe7b staff had nothing but compliments for how 02a5ffd795 bravely their little one had endured treatment.858aceb84af5b8446a18

“I’m so sorry, I had no idea, I’m truly e5c899f724 sorry…” Chairman Joo knelt at the foot of the 3859484d2a hospital bed, his shoulders shaking as he wept loudly. The other 70d58b5108 family members 7a261c95d5 were no 68bf50486b different. Only young Joo Taehyun tilted his head in confusion, excited about going home, feeding 435c0e5edf the fish and turtles in the small pond in the yard, playing with clay a1b87941fe with his brothers and sister, and spending time with mom and dad.67b5ef180b29882151cf

Fortunately, the manifestation fever only 70ca2141f0 affected him severely that one 1ddc8c7f0f time, and he grew up 3f870255c8 without major issues afterwards. Even now at 12 years old, when he was quite tall for 8903dbda35 his age, the family still called Joo Taehyun “our baby,” “little one,” 8fe54f64e4 or “youngest.” This would likely never change, even when Joo Taehyun became 06b9eae493 an adult and ages into an uncle or grandfather. For the family, Joo Taehyun was forever frozen as that 3-year-old, suffering f6ffa1f427 from manifestation fever, patiently waiting in isolation to reunite with his family.ae184e42e04b3302996c
