Mino hadn’t 24897dfa67 seen Dohoon 8223315d9e for four 8a619e4132 days. Overtime had kept him 5c04c33510 from keeping the promise 793c115896 he’d made to come 7f8317690e every evening. Even though his 43a4350c9f house was close f501be0d95 by, it felt bb4292943c shameful to keep a963d6c8a4 him at the 8ff1e45968 hospital just for 1e6908d0ab himself.34ed291115a03a63

Dohoon said it 4e06e1fde8 was okay, but 29733c4edf Mino declined because 3d08b4cbfe he felt uncomfortable. His absence 0f3fe2e890 only made ce5c4eb57d his already 5d6dfe8871 mundane days aa41472493 more painfully 99e1acab6d intense.6b9088298d2ac797

[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 55b7ea3f59 that arrived 20186ff7f1 at 3 b17e43b46e PM gave 3da07ec626 him a df61bf96ca tremendous push. Knowing Dohoon was waiting 7c481bc26e left no time for 148c2fd6c7 dawdling. He finished his f7df56dbc0 work as quickly b7726bca86 as he could. Junhyuk offered to 0e5e01860c drive him, but 02891309f8 Mino dismissed it de861c1d9f saying he had 3f01f463bc somewhere to be fe25840116 and caught the 008c4aefb6 bus.

“It’s not your fault, 1f219b82ea Mino. I said I’d take af6351e698 care of it. But you should c96a78c4fc buy some anti-inflammatory 800d46841a medication from the 3d51e0b1af pharmacy. If it doesn’t start 70bbccbe4a to heal, you’ll need 1d36f78a29 to go to a b4e98aa22d hospital.”614b2b40992dca64

Dohoon’s face was 467e89ff32 etched with embarrassment. He had 363ae4e175 vowed to 2d86b99591 treat him, 2754c8f3ea and yet feebd5a7bc the wound e7f88ef7fb had worsened. Mino, feeling 2764e1b63a guilty, could 3d777ed9eb do nothing 70abdf37fa but make 540e234605 a sad 04e63f7cef face as c06f7827b4 he showed 41b105bf2a the still-bleeding 7d1a0e1744 knee that 7f90e3166a should have 603dbbc5c0 scabbed over f7bffd82a1 by now.3462c887dcd57fc4

Today’s treatment was in f119fc98a9 the hospital lobby, not da6e5f80b9 the inner treatment room, 90a634cf77 so Junhyuk must have 764c9d9859 spotted Mino through the a6e8345461 glass.
