“ ... “
“ ... “
In the end, I brought the collapsed Kwon Soon-young home.. No matter what, how could I just walk past him there without noticing..
I brought him home, took him to my room, and laid him on the bed. I used the first-aid kit in the room to treat his split lip first.
"Seriously... how much does a person have to get beaten to end up like this..."
“ ... “
“You idiot, why do you keep showing up like this... If you're going to show up, at least...”
“ ... “
I'm telling you to appear at a moment like a prince...
A short while later,
Swoosh,
“ ..this is “
“Don’t get up. I brought you here because you collapsed, and this is my room.”
“I clearly… told you…
I wasn't concerned about you; I was concerned about the collapsed patient.
“ .. Then I'll go.. now “
Who says so? It might be okay when you come in, but when you leave, it's up to the owner.
Even though it seemed far-fetched, I felt like I would really die on the way if I just let it go.
“ ... “
“Wait. I’ll fill the bathwater for you, so take a bath first. I’ll give you some clothes too.”
“ ... “
I headed to the bathroom to get a bath, and just in case, I also told my secretary to just knock me out (?) wherever I go.
A short while later,
Clunk,
The clothes are right here, and absolutely do not even think about running away.
“ ... “
“Hurry up and go! You have to wash up and eat.”
“ ... “
Secretary, please escort this child to the bathroom.
Yes, miss.
After leaving Kwon Soon-young in the care of the secretary, I went down to the kitchen, and since the lady had already set the table and left for the day, I just had to serve the rice.
My grandfather is currently working overseas...
After serving my meal, Kwon Soon-young's, and the Secretary's, I calmly kept watch from outside the bathroom. They aren't going to escape through the bathroom window, are they...?
A short while later,
Clunk,
Did you finish washing up?
" .. uh "
“Come here, let’s eat. Secretary, you eat with us too!”
" yes. "
I led Kwon Soon-young into the kitchen, and seeing how powerless he was, he just followed me without saying a word.
Here, eat a lot. You enjoy your meal too, Secretary.
" yes. "
“ ... “
“.. This is delicious. Try it.”
Swoosh,
" .. uh "
He's just like a kid. He only eats if someone puts rice in a bowl for him... It was the same when he ate ramen... But still, at least he's eating!
—
“Ugh... Finally finished the dishes.”
“ ... “
“ .. Did you do something wrong to me?
“ ... “
“Why do you keep avoiding my eyes... and won’t talk to me?”
“ ... “
“Why were you lying there earlier?”
“ ... “
“ .. Huh? Say something.”
There’s no point in telling the truth.
Do you only talk about it if there is something good?
“ ... “
It's just... it's obviously not good news, so I'm asking you to say it to at least offer some comfort.
“ ... “
"Tell me quickly."
“ ... “
“Huh? Sunyoung, I want to hear it.”
I don't know why you keep avoiding me, but someone needs to know why you keep getting hit and knocked down.
at that time,
“ .. Kim Yeo-ju. “
" uh? "
“.. I have one wish ticket left, right?
Ah... uh
“ .. I’ll use that now “
“ ..What are you trying to do..?”
" me.. "
“ ..? “
“Just once... hug me.”
" uh..? "
“Just this once..
“Ah... ah uh”
Tightly,
When Kwon Soon-young suddenly asked to be hugged, I obediently hugged him, and he was truly weak in my arms.
Pat,
Pat,
Kwon Soon-young's shoulders, which had been quiet, began to tremble, and soon after, my shoulders began to get wet little by little.
“...Crying so bitterly like this, why didn't you cry all this time...”
“ .. Hah ah.. sob .. h.. “
“ ... “
I don't know how long he had been holding it in... Kwon Soon-young kept crying. He leaned against me, clutching my clothes tightly, and wept just like a little child crying in its mother's arms.
A short while later,
“ .. Did you finish crying?
“ .. (Nods) “
“I… I’m just not going to listen to it today. If I think about it again, I’ll just get sad again.”
I think you are already sad enough, so I don't want to make you sadder.
“ ... “
“...I'm going now. If you need anything, come down to the living room.”
Just as I was about to go down to the living room,
widely,
“..? What's wrong..? Do you need something..?”
“.. I was just going to give up.”
" uh..? "
“I thought I could forget, but... I can't.”
“What do you mean...”
I tried everything to forget—pushing them away, avoiding them, hurting them—but...
“ ... “
“ .. I need you so much “
“ .. What does that mean..?
“ .. I like you, Kim Yeo-ju”
“ ..!! “
Thump, thump,
My heart beat faster and faster. Slowly, little by little, and the color of my heart gradually turned red.
