I'm not a private person!
Yes or yes
하교은
"Ji-Hoon..."
Kyo-eun was startled by Ji-hoon's direct confession. But she quickly calmed her pounding heart and finally opened her mouth.
"...I don't have a choice...?"
우지(지훈)
"Yes. Yes or... yes."
하교은
"...?"
Kyo-eun blinked in embarrassment for a moment, then, unable to hold back her laughter, burst out laughing.
하교은
"Phew... Okay, then I'll choose you."
When Kyo-eun answered with a smile, Ji-hoon laughed along. Their laughter filled the hospital room, warming the air.
I was happy.
This smile we shared as we looked at each other, though awkward, was clearly reaching out to each other.
Smart ---.
at that time
A nurse came in, knocking on the hospital room door.
???
"Ms. Ha Kyo-eun, they said you can be discharged tomorrow morning. Just be careful about the stitches on your arm. I'll just re-dress it once now."
하교은
"Oh, yes..."
Kyo-eun answered in a dazed manner.
Ji-hoon watched the nurse prepare treatment and quietly exhaled, as if relieved.
When the nurse finished treating them, the two of them were left alone in the room again.
Jihoon said as he sat down on the cot.
우지(지훈)
"I'll sleep here today. Let's get discharged together tomorrow."
하교은
"...Uh, this might be uncomfortable..."
Kyo-eun spoke worriedly, but Ji-hoon shrugged and smiled.
우지(지훈)
"What's so uncomfortable? There's a cot, and above all, you're here."
하교은
"... ..."
At that moment, Kyo-eun's ears turned red.
Ji-hoon looked at Kyo-eun as if it was nothing and asked affectionately.
우지(지훈)
"Is there anything you want to eat? I'll buy it for you tomorrow when you get out of the hospital."
하교은
"Really...? You don't have to do that..!"
Kyo-eun is feeling sad
Ji-hoon looked at her and made a promise.
우지(지훈)
"As much as you want. I'll buy you everything."
A clumsy but clear first step toward each other.
That day, their laughter and light whispers quietly spread throughout the hospital room.
Their feelings for each other were quietly, but surely, influencing each other.
***
The next morning in the hospital room
Kyo-eun opened her eyes to the morning sunlight.
And the first thing I saw was Ji-Hoon sitting on the cot with his legs crossed, fiddling with his phone.
“…Mr. Wooji…?”
Ji-hoon raised his head as I called cautiously. He smiled mischievously.
우지(지훈)
"Oh. Are you awake, honey?"
하교은
“…Ugh, Wh, What…!”
Kyo-eun's face flushed as she tried to cover herself with the blanket, but her arms started to hurt, so she stopped.
Jihoon got up and came over, giggling.
우지(지훈)
"You have to be careful. You shouldn't swing the blanket with your injured arm."
하교은
"...to…"
Kyo-eun pouted, but Ji-hoon stroked her head and said.
우지(지훈)
"Well, today's your day. Let's go out and celebrate your discharge."
하교은
"Shall we go out and play???"
우지(지훈)
"huh"
Ji-hoon smiled brightly, and Kyo-eun felt her heart sink.
하교은
"....Phew.."
Is it okay to like it this much...?
