"Miss, I'll be waiting downstairs. Say hello and go. It's time to go home now."
— Okay, I see. But... what did you say?
— We didn't say much. Then I'll wait.
We didn't really talk much, but I wondered if I was being too curious. I quickly went into the hospital room.
— It's time to go. I have to go now.
— Please go in carefully.
— Chi- I feel sorry for myself again.
— Go in quickly. It's almost time for the chairman to arrive.
—Okay, okay. I'll come back again.
— ······.
- yes?
— Take care.
I still can't get used to the changes in Seokjin oppa. He was always so kind and good to me. But thinking back, it seems like he started pushing me away when I started showing my aggressive side towards him. I wonder if he was surprised or uncomfortable because I acted so suddenly.
.
— You don't look well. Are you in a bad mood?
— That... about my friend. If I suddenly express it to the person I like, will that person feel uncomfortable?
— Hmm... I guess so. It's only natural to feel at a loss when suddenly met with such excessive expressions.
- is it so···?
After that, I fell into silence and deep thought. I was so lost in thought that I fell asleep. Or maybe I just wanted to sleep because I didn't want to think.
— Miss, wake up. We've arrived.
— Oh...! This is surprising...
I opened my eyes to the butler's voice waking me up, and he was so close that I was startled. I wouldn't know if it was just a regular butler, but when he wakes me up with such a handsome face, it's impossible not to be startled.
— I was too close. Sorry. I woke you up...
— No. I dozed off for a bit.
— Please get off carefully.
— Thank you so much for today.
— I’m fine, but I’m worried that you may have been too exhausted on your first day out of the hospital.
— I'm fine now. Don't worry!
— Really? That's great. Come on in. The chairman will be here soon.
— Yes, come in.
.
— Are you here, Yeoju? You're late.
— I was feeling a bit suffocated after lying in the hospital for a while. I walked a lot today.
"Okay, hurry up and wash up and come down. Taehyung, you worked hard today too."
— No, I'll just clean up a bit and come back.
- is it so.
When I got home, I felt completely exhausted. Honestly, I'm a little tired. I'd spent a lot today, both physically and emotionally. I decided to just lie down for a bit and collapsed on the bed, but before I knew it, I'd fallen asleep again.
After a while, I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. I seemed to have slept for quite some time. I got up again and went to the second-floor living room, where I saw butler Taehyung dozing on the sofa. I shook him a little and woke him up.
— Butler.
— Oh, Miss. Are you awake?
—Why are you sleeping here?
— I was going to pack you some food when you came out, Miss. The Chairman and his wife have already gone in, so I'll just pack this for you and go.
— Butler, have you had dinner?
— Yes, I ate earlier. Well, eat this and then go in and rest.
— Are you going to go···?
— Yes, please enjoy.
— I get lonely eating alone. Can you stay with me until I finish eating?
