Ex-boyfriend's obsession
#18. Decorated appearance
I tried to contact Park Jimin as I left the lecture building.
Park Jimin answered my call right away.
신여주
"Hello? Park Jimin?"
신여주
"Where are you now?"
박지민
"Oh, my lady."
박지민
"...Do you understand why I did that to you?"
신여주
".....Let's meet up and talk."
신여주
"So tell me where you are."
박지민
"That cafe I saw last week."
박지민
"Let's meet there. How about that?"
신여주
"Okay. I'll go there."
Stop.
I put my phone in my pocket and ran to the cafe.
Open the cafe door,
I found Park Jimin.
Then I saw someone waving at me.
....??
I immediately shut my mouth.
신여주
"You... Park Jimin...?"
박지민
"Are you here?"
신여주
"uh...."
신여주
"You always had a sad face, but now you're smiling...?"
신여주
“When you smile, you look kind of cool.”
박지민
"Really? Haha"
박지민
"So... why did you contact me?"
박지민
"Why did you ask to meet?"
신여주
"....Wasn't that what you wanted..?"
신여주
"I wish I could like you again..."
신여주
"To keep that Christmas promise..."
박지민
"You got it exactly right."
박지민
"That's right. Honestly, I really wanted to keep my Christmas promise."
박지민
"It was an event I had been preparing for for quite some time."
신여주
"......"
신여주
"But... what you did to me..."
신여주
"You know you've crossed the line, right?
신여주
"Senior Seokjin, putting yourself in danger... that kind of behavior."
박지민
"...ah."
박지민
"That's... I'm really sorry."
박지민
"I also can't get it to work out the way I want."
박지민
"I think it's broken."
박지민
"Honestly, I regret doing that a lot."
신여주
"....Are you serious?"
신여주
"Actually, I still think about you from back then."
신여주
"That expression that didn't seem like yours..."
신여주
"It felt like he was going to kill me at any moment..."
박지민
"stop..!"
박지민
"I know everything too.."
박지민
"We all know this, so let's not mention it anymore."
박지민
"You understand?"
신여주
".....okay."
박지민
"Okay. So... what do you think of me now?"
박지민
"Is it better than before?"
신여주
"......(nod)"
박지민
(Laughs) What, why are you suddenly so timid?
박지민
"So, we don't have to meet once a month anymore, do we?"
신여주
"....huh."
신여주
“But Park Jimin, you said it was an event you had been preparing for.”
박지민
"...yes."
신여주
"Even after we broke up, you were still preparing steadily?"
신여주
"Cancelling plans... You never do things like that?"
박지민
"that's right."
박지민
"Actually, I didn't really know why I had to break up with you."
신여주
"......"
박지민
"I was thinking that I would treat you better, but then suddenly, a bolt from the blue..."
박지민
"Oh, no."
박지민
"Now we'll be fine again. Right, my lady?"
박지민
"If you have good feelings for me... we can connect again, right?"
신여주
"......."
신여주
"I think it might take a little bit of thinking."
신여주
"It's too sudden right now."
박지민
"Really? That could be true."
박지민
"Then what are you going to do?"
박지민
"Would you like to think about it and come back?"
신여주
"Uh... Okay then."
박지민
"How much time do you need?"
신여주
"....Just give me 3 days."
박지민
(Laughs) 3 days? Okay.
박지민
"I understand it was sudden, so don't worry too much about it... See you in three days."
신여주
"Okay... Then I'll wake up first."
박지민
"Okay. Take care on your way home."
신여주
"Uh... see you later."
I quietly got up from my seat and left the cafe.
I can't even think about it...
It's hard, it's hard. It's too sudden.
At that moment, a motorcycle appeared quickly approaching from behind.
I tried to avoid it... but I couldn't avoid it.
bang.
I closed my eyes tightly with a tremendous roar.
But... I didn't feel any pain.
And then, right in front of me, a groan of pain was heard.
When I opened my eyes...
전정국
"ah...!!"
신여주
"...?!!"
jungkook jeon...?
오토바이남
"Are you okay?"
오토바이남
"I'm sorry... I should have avoided it..."
신여주
"Jeon Jungkook! Speak..!! Are you okay?"
전정국
"Ahhh..."
전정국
"I'm sick... Yeoju."
오토바이남
"Should I take you to the hospital...?"
오토바이남
"I think you should go to the hospital..."
전정국
"Hey... sir."
전정국
"What do you do for a living...?"
오토바이남
"I... work part-time at a Chinese restaurant."
오토바이남
"No, are you really okay with that?"
오토바이남
"I can pay your hospital bills..."
오토바이남
"Let's go to the hospital first."
전정국
"Ah... it's okay."
전정국
"Please call an ambulance instead."
전정국
"I don't think I can ride a motorcycle..."
오토바이남
"Ah... then..."
오토바이남
"I have a cell phone..."
신여주
"...I'll call you."
신여주
"Jungkook, I'll call you."
I took out my cell phone and called 119.
신여주
"Oh, hello. There's a person here who got hit by a motorcycle and got hurt."
신여주
"It's OO Street. Please come quickly. Thank you."
Stop.
신여주
"I'll be back soon, Jungkook."
신여주
"So why did you suddenly jump in!"
전정국
"If it were you... I don't think you would jump in..?"
전정국
"My friend is in danger..."
오토바이남
"Excuse me... I have to go make a delivery quickly."
오토바이남
"This is my contact information, so please let me know how much the hospital bill was."
신여주
"Yes, I will."
전정국
"I... sir!"
전정국
"Let me say one more thing."
오토바이남
"....Yes. Go ahead."
전정국
"Don't ride your motorcycle on dangerously narrow sidewalks."
오토바이남
"....All right."
전정국
"In this narrow sidewalk..."
전정국
"Please drive on wide sidewalks or roads. That's my conclusion."
오토바이남
"I'm sorry... Then I'll go now."
오토바이남
"Please be sure to contact me."
신여주
"Take care."
After a while, an ambulance came and took Jeongguk away.
I also rode in an ambulance and went to the hospital.
I was quietly waiting for Jeongguk,
I moved after listening to the doctor's words.
의사 선생님
"hello."
의사 선생님
"Mr. Jungkook, this is the medical staff member in charge, Min Yoongi."
신여주
"Ah... hello."
의사 선생님
"Yes.. I will skip the detailed explanation."
의사 선생님
"The X-ray showed a fracture in my leg."
의사 선생님
"You see here? The bone is badly cracked."
의사 선생님
"In these cases, it may be difficult to use your legs severely later."
의사 선생님
"Of course... if you treat it well, it's fine."
의사 선생님
"I will treat you well."
의사 선생님
"...to treat this properly,"
의사 선생님
"I think I might need surgery."
의사 선생님
"If we leave this alone, it will only increase Jeongguk's suffering."
의사 선생님
"How are you?"
신여주
"...I think I need to discuss it with Jeongguk."
의사 선생님
"yes.."
의사 선생님
"Then, would you please discuss it and communicate your opinion through the nurse?"
신여주
"Yes, I will."
신여주
"I guess we need to decide a little quickly..?"
의사 선생님
"First of all, I don't have time today... It's almost evening."
의사 선생님
"I think you should let me know by tomorrow morning."
의사 선생님
"First of all, we decided to hospitalize Jeongguk."
의사 선생님
"And... if surgery is decided, of course, fasting."
의사 선생님
"You know, right?"
신여주
"all right."
신여주
"Then I will go and discuss it and relay it to you through the nurse."
의사 선생님
"Okay, you can go."
신여주
"Yes. Goodbye."
* Hospital room
신여주
"Jeon Jungkook, are you okay?"
전정국
"It hurts so much."
전정국
"Still, I guess I have to endure it."
전정국
"Did you see the doctor?"
신여주
"Oh. We met."
신여주
"Really... I think you'll do a good job."
전정국
"okay?"
전정국
"Then that's good."
신여주
"But there is something..."
신여주
"The doctor..."
신여주
"I heard he was asking if I should have surgery."
전정국
"....surgery?"
전정국
"What... Am I really that serious?"
신여주
"....the bone was badly cracked.."
신여주
"I saw the picture..."
신여주
"I think it would be a good idea since you work in architecture."
전정국
"......"
전정국
"I see.."
전정국
"I expected it would go as far as surgery."
전정국
"That was really spot on."
신여주
"......"
신여주
"Are you going to do it..?"
전정국
"I have to do it, what."
전정국
"What can I do?"
전정국
"The motorcycle guy will pay the hospital bill anyway."
전정국
"Should I try contacting that man?"
신여주
"....okay."
전정국
"(Taking out his phone) Can you give me that man's contact information from earlier?"
신여주
"Ah, here."
전정국
"(Calling) ...."
전정국
"Oh, hello? You're the guy on the motorcycle earlier, right?"
전정국
"The doctor said I need surgery."
전정국
“I think the hospital bill will be quite high. Are you okay with that?”
전정국
"....Are you okay?"
전정국
"(Mumbling) Are you rich.."
전정국
"Okay. Then I'll let you know the exact total after the surgery."
전정국
"Yes. Thank you for your hard work."
신여주
"....what?"
전정국
"This man seems richer than I thought."
전정국
"They said they could afford the hospital bills."
전정국
"Are you working a second job? Can you make this much money working part-time at a Chinese restaurant?"
신여주
"......I guess you're working two jobs."
신여주
"Anyway, Jeongguk. Please give this to a nurse tomorrow morning."
신여주
"I'm going to have surgery. Do you understand?"
전정국
"Oh, okay."
전정국
"Are you going to go now?"
신여주
"Oh, I should go. Go and get some rest..."
전정국
"Yeah. Thanks for your hard work."
전정국
"Go and rest."
신여주
"Oh, okay."
신여주
"I'll come when I have time."
전정국
"Uh~"
......
After about a week,
Jungkook underwent surgery successfully and was discharged from the hospital.
Of course, the motorcycle guy paid the hospital bill.
But... the most important thing is that Park Jimin has lost contact.
It's been several days and I still haven't answered the phone.
I'm sure something must have happened...?
