[Contest 2] The guy I fought with in the anonymous chat room is a bulletproof boy.
I'm going to throw you in jail.
김여주
Ugh...
의사
He's awake. He's just regained consciousness, so don't feed him yet. Just watch him until his guardian arrives.
간호사
yes!
김여주
Jungkook... Jungkook.
간호사
Yes? Oh, the man from earlier... went out again.
김여주
yes?
간호사
It seemed a bit complicated earlier... I think you went to get some air.
김여주
Ah... yes. Thank you.
간호사
Are you okay...?
김여주
Yes, I don't have much of a sense of it yet.
간호사
Oh, then should I serve you the meal in 10 minutes?
김여주
No, give it to me now.
간호사
Okay! Just wait a moment~
As soon as I came to, the pungent smell of chemicals assaulted my nostrils. A doctor, his expression grimacing but then relieved, entered my sight.
The doctor told the nurse to give me food later, but I had not eaten much since the knife went into my stomach and I was bleeding profusely, so I couldn't even move properly. I really wanted to eat.
After the doctor left, I looked around and saw only a nurse and an empty hospital room. Jeongguk and Dabin were nowhere to be seen.
Fearing that they might be together, I asked the nurse about Jeongguk's whereabouts. The man with the complicated expression on his face said he seemed to have run off, which brought me some relief.
I asked her to provide food immediately, thinking she'd be back soon. The nurse didn't seem to have been officially hired for this job for long. Judging by the way she was already running away in such a hurry.
The smell of hospital food. Strictly speaking, this wasn't even food. It was like the two meals I received on my plate from my teacher in elementary school, whining about a stomachache.
There was nothing but cold porridge and soy sauce.
It's so pathetic. I've been stabbed in the stomach, but I feel so sorry for myself, lazily eating porridge with soy sauce poured on it in the hospital room. But I don't stop eating, I feel like a pig in this situation.
It's pathetic.
Oh dear... This is just soy sauce. Even if I pour it all in, it's just the color of poop and it's so bland that I can't eat it.
...I'd be a nuisance if I asked for some kimchi. I'm a very patriotic person, so I like kimchi. (...?)
전정국
Kim Yeo-ju,
김여주
Huh? Jungkook!
전정국
Okay, okay, huh?
김여주
...Jungkook, are you crying?
전정국
Ah, ugh, f*ck. Tears, why, ugh. They're coming out, ugh.
김여주
cute...
전정국
... uh?
김여주
No... just... what...
전정국
Did I hear that wrong?
김여주
Oh no! I just thought it was cute...
전정국
Oh really, even though he's hurt, he's acting so brazen even in the hospital room.
김여주
swimming...
전정국
Is your stomach feeling much better?
김여주
Yeah, the surgery went well. That's it.
전정국
That's fortunate.
김여주
What about Dabin Lee?
전정국
I don't know. It's my job.
김여주
"Kook, why are you so nervous? Are you really angry? I'm fine, really."
전정국
I don't know, that bitch is annoying. It's a good thing today is Friday, because I have to see her again on Monday.
김여주
Hey, it's okay. He's definitely a strong contender, as things stand.
전정국
Still, I don't think he's the type of person who would leave you alone just because you're so angry.
김여주
Then Guk-i should stay by my side all the time, right?
전정국
That's what the story is about. I admit you have a way with words.
김여주
What, you can't say anything.
전정국
Are you secretly being extreme?
김여주
That's what makes it so attractive.
How did I become so comfortable talking to bullies? Even when we were dating, I had a secretly petty side, so Jeon Jungkook would occasionally slap me. Now he's even openly dissing me.
Not liking being stuck in a hospital, I got a discharge slip and left with Jeongguk. Seeing the ambulances lined up one after another, I wondered how I'd gotten there.
I finally got to ride a car I thought I'd never get to ride again. Thanks to someone.
As I was feeling sorry for not being able to stop it sooner and eating the jelly that Jungkook had bought me to celebrate my discharge, I heard a voice I didn't want to hear from behind me.
이다빈
Kim Yeo-ju.
김여주
Ah... what is this?
전정국
...
Jungkook's expression when he saw Dabin seemed even more disturbed than when he was at the police station. What happened with Dabin? Seeing Jungkook, who was stiff and distinctly different from his usual bold demeanor, made me realize that even if he was hurt, I had to protect him today.
Even Dabin Lee must have been shocked to see me walking towards her, seemingly unfazed, even after being stabbed in the stomach with her own sword. Just seeing her backing away in bewilderment was enough to convey her emotions.
김여주
Dabin, you said I was a loner. You said I was bullied?
김여주
That's right.
김여주
So, you didn't think that I might have been stabbed once or twice?
이다빈
...!
Actually, it was my first time being stabbed. I just said it to scare him, but Jungkook seemed really surprised and quietly muttered, "Fuck..." Dabin Lee was scared as hell. Thinking that I wasn't worth dealing with, I turned around after making my ambitions clear.
김여주
I'm going to throw you in jail.
