episode. 5 - I love you

안효섭

"From now on, I will ban visitors. No one other than CS organization members is allowed in."

이석민

" all right. "

안효섭

"Boss, I have something to say..."

최승철

"Seokmin, you stay here and watch. I'll go out with Hyo-seop for a bit."

이석민

"Yes, have a nice trip."

Seungcheol's point of view-)

Since he said he had something to say, Junmyeon left Seokmin in charge and went out to the hallway outside the hospital room with Hyoseop.

최승철

"What do you want to say?"

안효섭

"Boss, you are currently in a very unstable state psychologically. You seem very different from last time, so I asked Inyeop, but it seems like you are not in a very good state."

최승철

" ........... "

안효섭

"Boss, how have you been holding on all this time? It must have been very difficult for you."

최승철

"Well, sometimes he would confide in me when something happened, but not often... Kim Junmyeon is the type to deal with things that hurt him by working on them. He's the type of person who tries to forget things even if it means physically straining himself."

안효섭

"You know very well that that's not a good method..."

최승철

"No matter how many times I told you, you still said the same thing... I guess Kim Junmyeon thought that was the best way to forget."

안효섭

"Then shall we make an appointment for a consultation?"

최승철

"I want to do it, but... if Junmyeon doesn't like it, I won't do it-"

안효섭

"Ah... yes, I understand. When the sub-boss wakes up, please call me."

최승철

" huh. "

안효섭

"Then I will go now."

최승철

"Oh, go ahead."

After seeing Hyoseop off, I returned to the hospital room.

Junmyeon was still lying there, unable to wake up.

최승철

"Nothing happened?"

이석민

"Yes, there wasn't any."

최승철

"Whew...."

이석민

"Boss, what's wrong?"

최승철

"Junmyeon is very anxious right now..."

이석민

"I'm sorry, boss.. I'll do better."

최승철

"It's not your fault, so don't feel guilty. You're doing well now, so just keep doing it."

이석민

"Yes, I will keep that in mind."

Junmyeon's point of view-)

My father appeared in my dream. It was the first time he appeared in a dream.

My mother and grandmother always appeared in my dreams, but today, my father appeared in my dream.

Did he miss his father that much?

My father walked away from me. I shouted loudly, “Father-!” but he didn’t seem to hear me and didn’t even look back once.

I ran to catch him, but the distance between my father and I grew further and further apart.

His figure gradually faded away, and I collapsed again without being able to hold on to him.

It was only a day after I collapsed that I finally opened my eyes. Looking around, I saw Seungcheol holding my hand while sleeping, and Seokmin leaning against the wall, napping.

김준면

"Everyone...because of me..."

I said I would speak quietly, but Seokmin must have heard my voice because he immediately opened his eyes.

이석민

"...!! Boss, are you okay?"

김준면

"Yeah, it's okay. You two were worried a lot, right?"

이석민

"I was worried too...but the boss did more."

김준면

"I thought so-"

이석민

"Boss... Should I wake you up?"

김준면

"No, don't wake me up. It must have been hard taking care of me. Just let me sleep soundly."

이석민

" yes. "

김준면

"Can you bring my phone for a sec?"

When I turned on my phone after a long time, there were a lot of KakaoTalk messages.

Of course, there was also a KakaoTalk message sent by Chanyeol hyung.

찬열

'Call me when you wake up, I miss you.'

준면

'I'm awake now.'

찬열

How are you, are you okay?

준면

'Don't worry, I'm fine. I won't have to contact you anymore-'

찬열

'Do you still hate me?'

준면

'Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you've gotten better just because I contacted you.'

찬열

' okay.... '

I briefly chatted with Chanyeol on KakaoTalk and then went into the KakaoTalk room where I chatted with my father.

The conversations still remained intact. I felt sorry for not contacting my father more often.

준면

'Father-'

아버지

'It's been a while since we last contacted each other. What's going on?'

준면

'I contacted you because I missed you.'

아버지

'Where are you now? I'll go to where my son is.'

준면

'I'm at the hospital now. Please come to the VIP room on the 20th floor of JS Hospital.'

아버지

'Okay, is there anything you want to eat?'

준면

'No, you can just come'

After the conversation, I told Seokmin to prepare well as guests were coming.

김준면

"Guests will be arriving soon. Tell the kids in the hallway too."

이석민

"Oh, but Teacher Hyoseop said not to let anyone in except for people from our organization. Is that okay?"

김준면

"It's okay because you're my guest."

이석민

"Okay, then I'll tell you."

아버지

"Is this it..."

기현

"You cannot enter the hospital room without the permission of the vice-principal."

아버지

"I came here because Junmyeon told me to, but isn't Junmyeon inside?"

성훈

"Please wait a moment, I will check and come back."

아버지

"Vice boss... what do you mean...?"

전원우

"Are you here? Please come inside."

아버지

"Okay, thank you..."

전원우

"Boss, we have a guest."

김준면

"Okay, thanks. You can go out now."

전원우

" yes- "

Wonwoo went out into the hallway, and only me, my father, Seungcheol, and Seokmin were left in the hospital room.

Fortunately, Seungcheol woke up before his father arrived.

최승철

"Hello, Father."

아버지

"Yeah, it's been a while-"

김준면

"I know you must be very busy... I'm sorry."

아버지

"No, but... the staff in the hospital room earlier said something about the vice-boss. What does that mean?"

김준면

"I'm sorry I couldn't tell you..."

최승철

"Hey, didn't I tell you...?"

아버지

"Tell me what it is."

김준면

"It's just as I heard, Father... I'm the vice-boss."

아버지

" what? "

김준면

"I'm sorry I'm telling you this now."

아버지

" ............. "

김준면

"This job suits me well. I'm studying hard too - so don't worry too much."

아버지

"You said so... I can't help it."

김준면

"Thank you... haha"

아버지

"But... how did you end up in the hospital? Where did you get hurt?"

김준면

"I'm not hurt... I just overdid it. - How is your father?"

아버지

"I'm doing well. Your mom is doing well too-"

김준면

" thank god. "

아버지

"You were like that before too... You're still the same..."

김준면

"There's no better way to forget something than that. I don't think there's any better way than that."

After hearing my answer, my father suddenly paused and then began to speak.

아버지

"Don't you want to see your brothers?"

김준면

"My brothers? I'm not sure. It's been a while since I've forgotten about them. I'd be happy if they came to see me once in a while. They were always there for me, whether I was sick or not."

Seriously, my brothers never showed up, even when I was sick in the hospital or when I wasn't. And even now, for several years, we haven't even contacted each other.

After a long time, I had a long conversation with my father and saw him off on his way home.

김준면

"Take care on your way in, Father."

아버지

"Okay, thank you. You get some rest too-"

After seeing my father off, I went back into the hospital room.

Only a few minutes after entering the hospital room, I heard someone knocking on the door from outside.

전원우

"A guest has arrived. Should I let them in?"

김준면

"Yeah, let them in."

The ones who came into the hospital room were none other than my older brothers. Brothers I had forgotten.

김우빈

"It's been a while, Junmyeon."

김준면

"What's going on here, hyung?"

김우빈

"I heard some news that you were here."

김준면

"So you're saying you did some background checks?"

김우빈

"Can you see it that way?"

김준면

"Haa...is that something you would do to your little brother?"

김범

"I didn't do it. This guy is the only one who did the background check."

김준면

"Okay, it's the same for both of you. Don't you think it's too much...? You could have come to see me at least once. Whether I was sick or not, you guys weren't by my side."

김범

" sorry... "

김우빈

"I'm sorry, me too..."

김준면

"If you did some background research, you'd know what I'm doing now."

김우빈

"Oh, the organization?"

김준면

" huh. "

김범

"Don't worry, I don't hate you for doing that."

김준면

"Oh, thank you..."

김범

"I used to do the same thing as you, but we're apart now."

김준면

"You did it too, hyung...?"

김범

"Oh, you didn't know. There's a place called Organization B that no longer exists."

최승철

" ....?!! Organization B?"

I was startled when he suddenly appeared and started yelling loudly when he wasn't there before. Of course, my brothers were also startled and asked who it was.

김우빈

"Who are you?"

최승철

"Oh, that Junmyeon's friend is Choi Seungcheol."

김우빈

"Nice to meet you, but do you know about Organization B?"

최승철

"Yes, of course I know!"

김준면

"I'm the only one who doesn't know...?"

최승철

"There was an organization called Legends back in the day. Before we became Legends."

김준면

"No way... the place you talked about before...?"

최승철

"Yeah, that's right."

김준면

"I knew about it once, but I didn't know you were part of that organization."

While I was talking to my brother, Wonwoo suddenly came running into the hospital room.

김준면

"Wonwoo, what's going on that makes you come running in such a hurry?"

전원우

"That vice-boss... J Organization came to the hospital..."

김준면

"What? Ugh...!"

전원우

"Are you okay...?"

김준면

"Uh, get the kids ready."

전원우

" all right. "

Wonwoo went out of the hospital room, and Seungcheol and I had to get ready to go meet the J organization.

최승철

"Hey, are you okay...? Can you walk?"

김준면

"So I'm going to get in a wheelchair... but I just don't have the strength right now."

김범

"What is going on..."

김준면

"I'm sorry, bro. Let's talk again after work."

김범

"Oh, okay... "

김우빈

"Should I go out with you?"

김준면

"Well, do whatever you want."

When I arrived at the first floor, people from Organization J had already arrived.

My legs were so weak that I had to use a wheelchair to go to where the boss of the J organization was.

김준면

"Brother, where is this place?"

은혁

"Honey, how have you been? I came to see you~"

김준면

"I clearly warned you not to call me baby. ^^"

은혁

"Hey, just calling me by my name seems unkind~"

김준면

"But how did you know I was here?"

은혁

"Honey, you still don't know me, do you?"

김준면

"You know too much, it's annoying.^^ I told you to stop investigating that guy."

은혁

"Haha, what should I do, that's my specialty~"

김준면

"Let's not talk, really..."

은혁

"By the way, did you touch our kids?"

김준면

" what...? "

은혁

"I asked if you were the one who messed with our kids."

김준면

"Ha, I don't know where you heard that, but it's not us. I wouldn't mess with your people."

은혁

"Really? Then how do you explain these wounds the kids got?"

김준면

"Ha...it's not me...ugh!"

Eunhyuk came up to me and grabbed my chin tightly.

은혁

"Honey, there is a limit to how much I can endure."

I was so angry and resentful of Eunhyuk hyung for doubting me that I forcefully pushed his hand that was holding my chin away.

김준면

"You don't trust me that much? Why are you doing this when I'm not the one doing it?! Do you want to do this in front of someone who's sick?"

김범

"I don't know what your relationship is with Junmyeon, but he's not a kid. If you said he's not a kid, shouldn't you stop?"

은혁

" ....... "

김준면

"Get out of the hospital right now."

After hearing what I said, Eunhyuk and all the members of Organization J left the hospital.

And as soon as Eunhyuk left, I started getting a headache.

김준면

"Ugh...!"

이석민

"...!!! Boss, are you okay?"

김준면

"Yeah, it's okay..."

이석민

"I'm sorry... I should have ended it at my own discretion..."

김준면

"No, you don't have to be sorry. The J organization was finished with me in the first place."

이석민

"But...."

김준면

"You don't have to worry too much. Oh, that's right. Find out who did what Eunhyuk mentioned earlier and report it to me."

이석민

"Okay, I understand."

After finishing work, I returned to the hospital room, and as soon as I got back, I talked to my brother about things I hadn't been able to talk about.
