I'll love you, badly.
Episode 175 ˚ An Unexpected, Intentional Encounter
정여주
who are you?
As soon as the heroine finished speaking, the door opened, and a familiar figure wearing a black leather jacket appeared behind it.
박지민
Oh my, Seo-woo is sick. What should I do?
"Uh, Jimin?" The female protagonist, startled, naturally moved away from Taehyung and approached Jimin. "How did you know?"
박지민
Rumors spread faster than expected.
박지민
All the doctors at our hospital knew that orthopedic surgeon Kim Tae-hyung's son was admitted to the hospital.
I was in my wife's hospital room when I heard the news and came down to check. At Jimin's words, Yeoju asked, "So you're not going to work today?"
박지민
Yes, today is a day off for outpatients.
박지민
Doesn't Kim Taehyung have an outpatient appointment in the afternoon?
김태형
Oh, I have to go.
정여주
So, are you with your wife today?
박지민
No, I want to do that too, but I have to send Min-gyu to daycare tomorrow…
박지민
I'm going to stay a little longer.
"I should tell Min-gyu to come here often so he can hang out with Seo-woo," Jimin said, and Tae-hyung sat down on the chair.
김태형
Aren't the two in a cold war right now?
박지민
? What a cold war.
김태형
I told you, I told you. Park Min-gyu, Kim Seo-woo, and a girl were in a love triangle, and in the end, Min-gyu ended up dating her.
박지민
Oh… so you two don’t play together?
김태형
I guess so. Kim Seo-woo hasn't talked about Min-gyu lately.
The three of them simultaneously laughed at the sight of Seo-woo, who was asleep. Jimin spoke first. He was curious, though. Who on earth could possibly capture the hearts of two men at the same time?
정여주
That's right - what a girl with so much charm - haha
The female protagonist said this as she pulled the blanket that was covering Seorim and Seowoo, who were lying side by side with their heads on the same pillow, up to the neck level.
김태형
I guess I should go to daycare secretly.
박지민
Catch me. I need to see who my son is dating so beautifully.
김태형
How about next week? I heard next week is the consultation period.
박지민
Okay. When are you free?
김태형
Just check for a moment.
(Two fathers who are more sincere than anyone else.)
정여주
Ahh, they're both really the same.
정여주
Honey, honey, hurry up and go. Time is up.
Oh, that's right. It's already this late. Taehyung, with a regretful expression, approached Seowoo and Seorim and kissed them on the forehead.
정여주
Have a nice day. Let's eat together after work.
김태형
Is there anything you want to eat? I'll order it in advance.
정여주
Let's think about it when we get there-
Taehyung pushed Yeoju toward the door, and she gestured for him to hurry up and come back. "You have to work hard to pay the hospital bills, Seo-woo, honey."
김태형
I know, I know… .
김태형
I'll miss you, honey.
Yeah, me too. The female protagonist tried to wrap up the conversation with a formal response. In the end, she sent Taehyung away…
정여주
Jimin-
박지민
Yes, Miss Yeoju.
정여주
Wait… outside… … .
After confirming that Taehyung had gotten on the elevator, the female protagonist guided Jimin out as if she had something to say.
정여주
It's nothing else than...
정여주
I think I'll go see Jisoo sometime today.
Jimin nodded, his eyes slightly wide, as if he hadn't expected his wife's name to come up.
정여주
If Jimin leaves today, Jisoo will be left alone…
정여주
I'd like to stop by and say hello, but I feel like I'm being too nosy.
박지민
Jisoo will be very surprised - haha
정여주
…I guess so?
정여주
You know I just have to wait… …
박지민
You'll love it, Jisoo.
I told you, Jisoo misses Yeoju too. I'd be happy if the two of you met quickly and became close.
···
After exchanging greetings with Jimin, the two parted ways. Yeoju, who entered the hospital room, saw Seorim awake and thought it was mealtime.
Before Seorim could burst into tears, I quickly mixed the formula to a lukewarm temperature, held her in my arms, and fed her the milk.
정여주
Seorim- Don't cry while I'm sleeping, okay?
정여주
The child eats well-
Seorim just stared blankly at Yeoju with her big eyes, and Yeoju smiled involuntarily. Then she checked the remaining amount of Seowoo's sap.
정여주
Shhh- Shhh-
Then, the knocking sound was heard again, and the female protagonist turned her head as the door opened.
"The food is here-"
정여주
Oh, lunch?
The woman, who had resolved to wake Seo-woo, saw Seo-rim holding her and feeding her formula. She kindly laid out the hospital table and placed food on it.
정여주
… Ah, thank you…!
"You've worked hard, Mom~"
"Take care of your babies while taking care of yourself slowly~"
The female protagonist, suppressing her momentary emotion, smiled brightly at the woman, who smiled with wrinkles around her eyes. "Thank you."
···
Perhaps because she had taken antipyretics, Seo-woo, who was woken up by the female lead and had lunch, soon fell back asleep.
Seorim, who was playing next to Seowoo, must have also fallen asleep after seeing her brother sleeping, and she is also in dreamland.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the female protagonist turned off the lights in the hospital room and drew the curtains, then carefully came out and headed somewhere.
Yeoju went to the cafe inside the hospital, bought a warm yuzu tea and a warm green tea latte, stuffed them into her disposable carrier, and walked to the elevator.
It seemed like she was going to press the button to go up and wait for the train to arrive, but as soon as she got on, she pressed the 8th floor instead of the 5th floor where Seo-woo and Seo-rim were.
He seemed extremely nervous. I could tell by the way he kept fiddling with my wrist.
And finally, Yeoju got off on the 8th floor. After mulling over room 808, she looked around and began searching for her hospital room.
When she finally reached the end of the hallway, the female protagonist took a step back for no reason at the sight of the silhouette of a woman who looked about her age peeking through the crack in the hospital room door.
정여주
… What should I say?
The female protagonist, holding her trembling heart and taking a deep breath, counted numbers in her head before finally carefully opening the door.
And a woman in a patient gown turned towards Yeoju, and Yeoju greeted her.
정여주
Hello, Jisoo-
++ Finally, the two women meet... It was a plot twist that had been brewing for a long time.
