Sky closed Taehyung's hospital room door slightly, his face as if he was in a daze, as if the situation just now had been a dream.
"No... Is this some kind of real-life version of a conglomerate drama...?"
He scratched his head and muttered to himself, but soon sat up straighter at the sound of someone approaching from the end of the hallway.
The grandmother, neatly tidying up her skirt, came back into the hospital room and smiled at Haneul.
"Thank you, Miss. Really... I didn't know you would grant a favor so easily."
"No, I'm the one... I'm a bit confused by this sudden turn of events."
As the sky smiled awkwardly, the grandmother nodded quietly.
"Just having Taehyung by your side is enough. With someone as warm as you by your side, your memories will definitely come back faster."
At that moment, the door in the hospital room opened slightly.
Taehyung stuck his head out with a dazed expression, his hair disheveled.
"I'm feeling a little better now. Sorry for worrying you."
"Taehyung, Grandma was really surprised... Now, to make me feel more at ease, I hired someone."
"A person...?"
"Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about, girl haha"
"...? Yes? Mr. Sky?"
"Haha, what do you think? I think I can trust and leave you with this girl, haha"
"Ah... Mr. Sky... you heard that too, right?"
"Oh..!! Yes, I said I would do it!! Haha. I was also.. looking for a job...!!"
"Oh, I see... That's good. By any chance... can I have some water?"
The sky smiled brightly and went into the hospital room.
"If I tell you not to drink it, you won't drink it?"
"No. I was trying to drink it secretly... but I got caught."
Taehyung raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Haneul handed him a glass of water and said.
"How are you feeling? Do you have a headache?"
"I'm feeling a little better now. Earlier... I suddenly felt like my head was going to explode..."
He sat quietly on the edge of the bed, resting his head on one hand.
Sky sat down next to him and exhaled slightly.
"Don't worry too much though. Your doctor said it's temporary."
"...Yes. But it's strange. Earlier, there, suddenly... someone's face flashed through my mind. But I can't remember who it was."
The sky nodded slightly.
"It's okay. Maybe your memories are slowly returning. That's definitely a good sign."
Taehyung was silent for a moment, then looked up at the sky and spoke quietly.
"Mr. Sky. Can I ask you a favor?"
"Huh? What is it?"
"If I ever do something strange or say something weird... can you stop me? You don't even know who I am... Honestly, sometimes I get a little scared."
The sky smiled faintly.
"Of course. I'll be right there with you. If you say anything weird, I'll tackle you right away."
"Tackle... The tone is somewhat reassuring."
"I'm good at tackling. I was in the wrestling club when I was younger."
"Really?"
"No. That's a lie."
They both chuckled at the same time.
At that moment, the hospital room door opened again. This time, the secretary cautiously peeked out.
"Your Majesty, Miss Sky. Dinner is ready."
"...food?"
Taehyung spoke nervously. Haneul stood up and held out her hand.
"It's okay. Just eat and rest quietly today. Tomorrow is when the real work begins."
Taehyung looked at her hand, smiled slightly, and took it.
And I made a promise in my heart.
'Even if I don't remember, I can trust this person.'
In the midst of the trials of light and darkness, the relationship between the two was just beginning.
