Mental hospital

Episode : 24

The one holding my wrist seemed to have a lot to think about and say. But I didn't want to get involved, let alone talk to him, so I just wanted to avoid this situation.

하 성운

"..What is this situation? Please get out of here, or stop?"

옹 성우

"Don't go."

I was afraid they might put me back in a mental hospital. I didn't have the confidence to endure those hellish days again.

강 다니엘

"Talk to me, Seongwoo-hyung."

옹 성우

"..I don't have the time or the intention to talk to you."

강 다니엘

"I have no intention of doing that again. So just talk to me."

하 성운

"Excuse me, Ong Seong Wu, you don't like him. I don't know what their relationship is, but if the other person says they don't like him, let's stop."

강 다니엘

"Who are they to tell me to do this and that?"

하 성운

"Well... Are you close with Seongwoo?"

It sounds ridiculous, but I was grateful because my intention was to help me.

강 다니엘

"Seongwoo-hyung only has one person close to him."

하 성운

"There's no way I'm not that person, right?"

강 다니엘

"..Oh, really? Then you know what happened to Seongwoo-hyung over the past four years, right?"

I was dumbfounded. I didn't know what good he had done to go around bragging about it, and I was furious at the symbolism of him bringing it up in front of the person involved.

옹 성우

"Why are you bringing that up? What good did you do to make me say something like that? Should I report it to the police?"

강 다니엘

"Reporting it won't help. You're crazy.."

옹 성우

"Stop it... Stop talking."

I didn't want to reveal my past to anyone. I didn't want anyone to know about my fearful past.

하 성운

"Mr. Ong Seong Wu, are you okay? You don't look well right now."

옹 성우

"Haa.. It's okay, I'll go."

I was clearly fine, but when I met him, a deep sense of dread enveloped me. As my fear grew, even breathing became more difficult.

하 성운

"Then I'll take you there. You don't look very well right now."

옹 성우

"It's okay... haa, haa.."

As the cold sweat flowed down my face, my vision became blurry, and I felt like I was slowly losing consciousness.

The last faint voice I heard while losing consciousness was,

황 민현

"Ong Seongwu..!"

It was Hwang Min-hyun's voice that gave me a little bit of peace of mind.

Ssuk- When I opened my eyes, I heard many sounds, including the sound of doctors and nurses walking hurriedly and the sound of a wheelchair being pushed.

옹 성우

"..It's a hospital."

As I muttered a few words dryly, three or four men entered my blurry vision.

But gradually, the people in front of me became clearer. Ha Sung-woon, a man I didn't know, Kang Daniel, and even Hwang Min-hyun.

옹 성우

"..Hwang Min-hyun?"

황 민현

"..."

Hwang Min-hyun held my hand tightly and sighed, but didn't say a word.

하 성운

"..I heard that you collapsed because of the shock and stress at the same time. If it was because of me, I'm sorry."

옹 성우

"It's not like that, don't worry about it."

하 성운

"Don't worry about me when I'm already dead. I thought I was going to die from worry."

황 민현

"..You guys, you can all go now. I'll take care of the conversation and we'll be discharged together."

강 다니엘

"You're acting so selfishly. I'd also like to talk to Seongwoo and help him get discharged."

황 민현

"He's a friend who lives with me, so if he's closer to me, then do that."

옹 성우

"..Kang Daniel, where did you sell your conscience to say such ridiculous things? Why, do you care that I collapsed because of you?"

강 다니엘

"..Yeah, I'm so nervous. I keep thinking about whether it was because I asked to talk that it was so stressful, or because it was so shocking to see me."

강 다니엘

"So... I'm even more sorry."

옹 성우

"Okay, you can live like that for the rest of your life. I told you, it's right for you to keep living like that feeling sorry."

윤 지성

"..Are you being a bit harsh? I don't know what happened, but the child said he was sorry, but he said he had to live like that for the rest of his life."

옹 성우

"You're saying that's harsh? It's not that I don't know what's going on, but if you don't know what's going on, just leave it alone. If you don't know what a piece of shit that kid did, just stay quiet."

윤 지성

"What the hell is going on? Let me hear that damn thing. Let me hear how wrong he must have been to act so shamelessly."

옹 성우

"Why do you want to hear about my pain? I have no intention of talking, so get out."

윤 지성

"If you're the victim, you won't get stabbed, so it's okay for you to talk, right?"

옹 성우

"..It's not me who's being rude, it's you. You know how to understand other people's pain when we first meet, so stop talking nonsense and just take that kid you love out."

하 성운

"Ah... Seongwoo, I'll take these people out. Get some rest, and contact me when you're discharged. Don't get sick!"

"Bang-", the noisy conversation ended, the door closed, and only Hwang Min-hyun and I were left. I sighed, hating this situation so much.

황 민현

"I heard from Ha Sung-woon or something that he passed out while talking to that kid at the mart."

옹 성우

"..Yeah."

황 민현

"Sigh... I want to throw him in jail, but I think it'll be difficult. If I say that I admitted him because he's mentally ill, there's no way I can refute that."

황 민현

"Besides, there are no witnesses or evidence, so it seems like it'll be difficult even to hire a lawyer. Should I just kill that thing and go to jail?"

옹 성우

"..Don't say things like that, you crazy person."

황 민현

"Phew... Don't worry, do you know how surprised I was when you collapsed? Just don't make me worry."

옹 성우

"That's right, I heard your voice just before I collapsed. Did you go to the mart?"

황 민현

"I was wondering why he wasn't coming, so I went to check, and suddenly the child collapsed, so I was startled and picked him up and ran over."

옹 성우

"Oh my, you me?"

황 민현

"Then would I have carried you?"

옹 성우

"Oh, that's boring. Okay, that's a bit surprising, he doesn't look that strong~"

황 민현

"..Do you really want to die?"

옹 성우

"Ahaha.. I love you, hyung."

황 민현

"..Should I kill him?"

But seeing you blushing, I thought I should be more careful from now on. I thought my joking remarks might come across that way to you.

옹 성우

"Oh, I'm bored. Let's just get discharged and go home. I just collapsed for a bit anyway."

황 민현

"I'm so anxious..."

옹 성우

"Hey, if we stay cooped up inside, we won't be able to meet that kid. So let's go quickly, I'm bored."

황 민현

"..You really have to know that Ong Seongwu is a kid."

I got up, smiling like an idiot at you who asked me to wake up quickly and if I wasn't going to go.

옹 성우

"Huh, let's go."

Hehe, you were smiling at me, and your smile was so pretty that it couldn't be compared to your expression from before.

I'm not in a good mood because I met Kang Daniel, who seemed to bring out the anxiety in me who was living a peaceful daily life, but I think I felt a lot of relief thanks to Hwang Min-hyun.

Today too, I was able to endure well because Hwang Min-hyun was by my side.
