So that I can run again

Ep. 7 / Contact me.

Of course, with another wave of the hand, this time it was Jimin who had come over.

박지민

Okay, but don't look at it too much.

전정국

don't worry.

I opened my eyes again, took the phone from Jimin's hand, and turned to my side to turn on the screen.

There was a huge pile of messages.

Messages from each organization, seemingly wishing for a speedy recovery, and even a few gift certificates.

Also, messages that seem to be the last words to someone just before they die...

Even while scrolling through the message window, which was like a battlefield, I couldn't see how far the conversation window with her was.

I turned off the screen again and lay down with my eyes closed. Of course, I handed the phone back to Jimin.

박지민

Why, what's going on?

전정국

no.

Something's wrong. I'm upset. But then again, I'm not upset.

If we haven't exchanged a single word in about three weeks, then it must have been a long time since we said we should call it quits.

'I gave up.'

When I opened my eyes again, I saw four people staring at me. Only then did I realize.

I'm really hungry right now.

전정국

Hey there, newbies?

The new recruits flinched. Then, without exception, they all hastily answered. "Did you think I'd give you such a dangerous mission? I don't entrust that to new recruits."

전정국

I'm hungry.

They could have made an annoyed expression, wondering what I wanted them to do. But from my solemn expression, they seemed to doubt each other's ears.

It's nothing special, just an errand.

김남준

yes?

전정국

I have one cast on my head and one on my ankle right now.

전정국

Then, should I go and buy the food myself?

Only then did they realize that their hearing was normal and seemed relieved.
