That winter, a day when white snow was piling up.

- Inside the ambulance -

여주

.....

The heroine was lying down with her eyes closed.

???

Please... be safe, please-....

The only sound that filled the ambulance was the sound of someone sobbing.

- Three days later -

The woman was lying in the hospital room with an oxygen mask attached.

It's already been three days since she became like this.

Seungcheol was standing next to her bed.

승철

.....

Seungcheol fell asleep, exhausted from waiting and nursing for three days.

여주

.....

And only then did the female protagonist slowly open her eyes.

The female protagonist slowly turned her head and moved her fingers to make a sound towards Seungcheol, who was holding her hand.

승철

....?

여주

..... -

Yeoju stared at Seungcheol who had woken up.

승철

...Hey, lady!

Seungcheol's eyes immediately widened and he urgently called the doctor.

승철

The patient is awake-!! Over there-!!!!

The doctor arrived, examined the woman's condition, had her practice walking, and removed the oxygen mask.

여주

... Seungcheol, what happened?

승철

You've been lying down for three days.

Seungcheol's eyes turned bright red.

여주

..please explain what happened.

승철

.. that is,

- Three days ago at OO Hospital -

Seungcheol noticed that the female lead was not in the bookstore and started walking until he found an ambulance heading to the hospital.

It was an ordinary thing that would have been overlooked normally, but something felt wrong, so Seungcheol also ran to the hospital.

The scene we arrived at running to was the female protagonist being carried on a stretcher to the emergency room,

It was Wonwoo who got out of the ambulance following Yeoju.

원우

Yes, doctor. Please move over there... -

Wonwoo found Seungcheol and the two stared at each other for a long time.

승철

... Hey, Jeon Won-woo, you fucking idiot.

When Seungcheol ran and grabbed Wonwoo by the collar, the surprised medical staff around him clung to the two and tried to stop Seungcheol.

승철

야! 전원우 이 새끼야!! 이번엔 무슨 짓 한거야, 이 X새끼야!

원우

This time, you did nothing!! What did you do to get to this point, Kang Yeo-ju? What did you do until you were frozen to death on the street!!!

승철

What? Looking for something? Watch your mouth, kid.

원우

..Yeah, I didn't lose. I called an ambulance right before that and brought him here!!

원우

I'll hand it over to that guardian.

Wonwoo pointed Seungcheol to the doctor and left the hospital.

승철

..Ah, Kang Yeo-ju.. What the heck.

승철

...that's what it was.

여주

.. I see. Jeonghan collapsed, so Jisoo asked me to come to the hospital with her. I went to find you.. I didn't know it would end up like this.

승철

....I'm sorry, lady.

여주

..... It's okay, Seungcheol.

홍지수

.. Are you awake, heroine?

Jisoo came into the hospital room quietly.

여주

Oh, Jisoo. Where's Jeonghan?

홍지수

.....

Jisoo couldn't bring herself to speak.

The heroine's eyes shook.
