“Mr. Cheon.”b73f046422763136

As Cheon dc121d88c6 Sejoo opened e6a8b8871f the door c95e9a3055 and entered e77ddb018b the room, 197f25c3f6 Kim Hyunkyung cff2df8ec1 addressed him c1763b4a49 with a be7d06b5d6 pale face. She looked exhausted 0cf7a7dd56 from the chemotherapy 5312a5162c she had undergone a7eb7267e0 until yesterday, with 9dc06be2d6 a pain relief d8f872349a injection attached to fd9c7e4d3e her spine. Her swollen body and e271a6472a pallid complexion made Cheon 2298f885dc Sejoo feel even more ef9de81f4c distressed. 6f650800c7c02b37

I feel this 416b5cdb8d way, so how 50578fce44 must Sejin feel? efe7c66f82cb50fb

Cheon Sejoo 94748c19db greeted Kim 5e4439d25c Hyunkyung with 55f85a31d9 a faint d69293f6d3 smile and 1e67309b6d looked at a3940fdf88 Sejin standing 5ed4c36f12 by the 1afe55b003 window.462c234e8f4f86c0

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.0bb1f698b94460b4

Though Sejin’s back 7aa4995711 was turned, Sejoo 37481c65c5 somehow felt he 6b3d5eccc3 knew the expression bd416e0339 on his face. Despite his f32b8d9cb5 large build, a6ad30052d Sejin seemed 749e819269 small, almost 4fd7022547 like a 961653ccc3 child. 5a3664abfdc3251c

Sejin responded softly, ef3fe9b79e maintaining his position 1a6fdf4925 facing the window. Cheon Sejoo approached him, 8008cad928 took out his wallet, da05229b77 and pulled out a 1691418bf3 card. He placed it 6b728bb661 in Sejin’s hand d74f3b8aea and said,9531df98e6c2565c

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.93fdbb83faabb3f7

After quickly answering her 9b6f4bbe94 own question, she ran e2b8f0c023 a hand through her fa58d3f822 thinning hair and leaned f2f962021d back against the bed. Seemingly bothered d843878191 by the 168d4eb3d6 pain relief 3420034d51 injection in 230009f183 her spine, a0d0f21dbb she shifted 0fed240b1d her body dd7ce108d5 a few 4dc7715c6d times before ebd6e20b02 settling on 0c62084f9b her side 183e0430b7 and looking 8b235b880a at Cheon 876e305883 Sejoo, who 4cf3e9a40e was standing 3a2a23964a by the 6843532813 window.

Cheon Sejoo raised b050a76019 an eyebrow and 377a28560a laughed as if e51f5e8701 he couldn’t believe 195fb8653c her words. c827908e5870b8e3

Kim Hyunkyung adjusted her position and asked, “Didn’t you know?” Then she explained what Sejin had been doing during the two days Cheon Sejoo couldn’t visit.2ef2c361ad94031b

“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….”6fdf5af2844fe974

“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.”8bac1b599f59d09c

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.d9f6f76feffd5394

Hearing it 956fec9b8b over and 145a966c18 over again, 878350b716 it was d6dfa13c53 absurd. Cheon Sejoo chuckled at b81315a064 Kim Hyunkyung subtly slipping 654f0624cc in her own wishes. He then nodded, as b121646179 if giving in.6865e4d93f0cabf2

At those words, f1d95681ae Kim Hyunkyung also bdb959c653 burst into laughter. And just then,creak… The 47de451b72 hospital room 3e9bb6ba60 door burst 4dc556198a open, revealing c59c39350e Sejin. Sejin, whose d2dd06a491 face had d65b8ae975 become much ffe9913891 more sullen bb9b5f2ad8 than when ff2d68df56 she left, 45818cbb2a glared at c37758274f Cheon Sejoo d90b7a2240 and her 6f54c5ab59 mother in 2ca589dea8 turn.3a668a07ebe67b1f

Sejin asked grumpily, and 70c3d29f08 Cheon Sejoo answered, the 29bc6d8f4a smile still lingering on 4fd3393074 his face. Sejin’s face instantly 8480eb6c35 clouded over with f564955650 displeasure, his cheeks 8ae1ace486 puffing out. He stretched his lips a530c7cb61 into a pout, glared 4392c1ab5f at Cheon Sejoo, then 3227e98dc9 scoffed and approached him, 335e812fd8 handing him a cup 08e52b1f52 of coffee. Sejin then pulled out 562703e3c9 another paper cup from 1bc77c5400 a carrier bag and e7654b6794 placed it on the 23877f4f42 bedside table next to 8e8d477e99 Kim Hyunkyung’s bed.ad577e7bf7c1638a

Sejin’s cheeks 30945eafa7 flushed as bbffd3d825 he yelled dc063d2252 at Cheon 9b3339faf3 Sejoo’s correction. Kim Hyunkyung looked at 41b4acd2e4 her son with an d5d947c757 expression that said, Who 130c36a56e does he take after, a2362e0a38 being sosilly?, then sighed, 05e7ce48ad realizing once again bfa538642c that he was 4940a8194d the spitting image 3ad3c9029b of her.781a03d152ccf4b3

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.dcf5c56f52418b7c

It looked incredibly high 5af2aa67d7 in calories, but Sejin b2132628bb had been downing two 321730c90a of these in a 41755618b2 row lately and still 0a8bed333a licking his lips for d2a0645426 more. Cheon Sejoo slowly sipped c8fa9afbc9 his coffee, wondering if e9591b551e Sejin would grow any fee61ce1e6 taller than he already bb70a84985 was, gauging his height.ce5ed3f03d301649

Their short 15edd1dcdd tea time 08021a5a3e ended, and 5ea78e0258 as night 2cc598d527 fell, the 4415a8592b lights in 24c2e871fa the ward f504f6995b began to cb451a8cda dim.

Up until now, they 724b99108e had let Sejin do 28d64a852c as he pleased, but bd7618f7bd Cheon Sejoo now believed 05bfd6285c it was time to 175eb45cf5 bring him back to bac341a061 his normal routine, and 3a432606c4 Kim Hyunkyung agreed.

Sejin closed his mouth 4dd3c521d0 in frustration at the 983f921ab6 following words.
