The only woman in the organization
ep. 17 It's a lie
I was transferred from the intensive care unit to a general ward a few days ago.
I wanted to move it without anyone knowing, but Seungcheol caught me and everyone ended up finding out I was moving it.
They all helped me move my luggage... They acted like I hadn't abandoned them all.
Rather... he took care of me more than before, but I treated him coldly.
I decided not to give any more affection because I felt like I wouldn't be able to leave if I gave any more affection.
윤정한
I'm really glad I got back up again
문준휘
So, can't we just rest for a few days?
윤정한
Maybe? I'll talk to Seungcheol about it.
이석민
Oh!! If you take a break this time, let's all go to China!!
부승관
This guy!!
문준휘
... It's okay, okay, let's go after a long time
전원우
...are you really okay?
문준휘
Okay, really... I have to go at least once.
최현아
...I don't want to go
문준휘
... uh?
최현아
You know I abandoned everyone, but why don't you care? Why??? I left everyone behind...!!!
최현아
Please... get out of here... I want to be alone
홍지수
...I'll be out so calm down and when you want to talk to me, come to me and talk to me.
After Jisoo oppa finished speaking, everyone left the hospital room and I was the only one left.
최현아
...I have to leave
I have to leave to find that person
I knew Chan and his brothers would be outside the hospital room, so I waited until they left.
After a long time, I put my ear near the hospital room door to check if they had left, but I could not hear any signs of life.
최현아
Okay, can I go out now?
I changed my clothes, put on my hat, and left the hospital to find that person.
Coming outside felt like a breath of fresh air.
최현아
I feel like I can live now
최현아
I have to go quickly because it'll be difficult if you find me like this.
I ran faster than my usual pace.
After running for a while, I arrived at the house where the person lived.
최현아
... here it is
최현아
The place where the person who gave birth to me lives
There was something the director said to me when he took me down there before.
When he told me that I had to see my parents once so he could tell me where they lived, I said okay.
At first, I resented my parents a lot.
Because he was the one who left me there...
As I approached the house, I saw the figure of the man through the window.
The sight of him through the window was so happy that it seemed like there was no room for me.
최현아
Mom... You remarried, so that's why you abandoned me... Because I'm a hindrance...
I thought there would be no place for me if I came here, so I lowered my head and tried to turn around, but someone was blocking my way, so I looked up and saw it was Jun-Hwi oppa.
최현아
Oppa...
문준휘
It disappeared and I searched for it for a long time, so why are you worrying people??
최현아
...Can you come with me without saying anything?
문준휘
... okay
I... was abandoned, but why don't these people abandon me and stay by my side again?
최현아
You know
문준휘
huh?
최현아
Why do you act like I didn't throw you away when I threw you all away...?
문준휘
Well... I know you lied when you said that.
최현아
... No, I'm not lying, I'm serious, so please don't be nice to me anymore. If you treat me any better, I'll just run away more.
I walked past Jun-Hwi and just walked along.
I ran with the thought that my brother might follow me while I was walking.
I stopped and looked around, thinking that my brother wouldn't follow me here.
It was a park, but it was so pretty with flowers planted everywhere.
최현아
... pretty
I thought that no matter who looked at me, I would look like a person with no form.
최현아
... I guess I'm not the type of person who should live.
???
Who is the person who shouldn't live?
최현아
Who... Teacher
2반 담임 하성운
Hi, Arin. What are you doing here?
최현아
I just... have no reason to live, I'm just so tired and exhausted...
2반 담임 하성운
... Arin must have had a hard time
최현아
...Sam, can I live with you?
2반 담임 하성운
uh...?
최현아
Literally, take me with you.
2반 담임 하성운
...I have to go to my family
최현아
...I don't have any family, I'm an orphan.
2반 담임 하성운
Huh...? What does that mean?
최현아
The Choi A-rin that the teacher knows is a fictional character.
최현아
Let me introduce myself again. My name is Choi Hyun-ah and I am 23 years old.
2반 담임 하성운
Huh...? But why did you lie about your age and name?
최현아
That's... because there were circumstances...
2반 담임 하성운
... First, since it's late, let's go to my house.
최현아
Yes, I understand
2반 담임 하성운
This is my home. I don't know what the circumstances are, but I'm doing well.
최현아
... thank you
2반 담임 하성운
Since your room isn't ready, you can stay in my room today.
최현아
What about you, teacher?
2반 담임 하성운
There's a sofa, so you can go somewhere else to sleep, so don't worry.
2반 담임 하성운
Oh, and there's something you should know... There are other people here besides me who come and stay sometimes, so I think you should know that.
최현아
I'll keep that in mind
2반 담임 하성운
Talk to me later when you want to talk
최현아
...Okay, I understand
2반 담임 하성운
And I thought about it on the way here... I know you're 23, but I think it's okay to not use formal language with teachers anymore.
최현아
... I won't do it, but I'll still be polite...
2반 담임 하성운
I'm not that old, there's only a 7 year age difference between us
최현아
Ah... Then I'll speak informally to you when it's convenient for me.
2반 담임 하성운
Okay, my room is in the front, so go in and rest.
2반 담임 하성운
I'll go out and come back.
최현아
Yes, have a nice day
I came into the room the teacher had mentioned and was surprised at how clean it was.
최현아
Wow... you write so cleanly...?
최현아
...I saw my mom, but I didn't see my dad.
최현아
Should I ask my dad...
...the thought of having to go to prison to meet my father soon weighed heavily on my mind.
최현아
Why did I go to prison...
dripping-
The teacher said he was going out, but he must have come back quickly. When I heard a knock on the door, I went to the door and opened it, and Jisoo was standing there.
홍지수
... let's go
최현아
no
홍지수
You!!! Won't you listen?
최현아
...he's yelling again
홍지수
No... ha, let me ask you one thing
최현아
...what is it
홍지수
Are you really serious about what you said about us being abandoned?
최현아
... There's no way it's true, they're my favorite people.
Strangely, I ended up confiding my true feelings to Jisoo Oppa.
최현아
But... one day I will have to leave Chani and my brothers.
최현아
After I meet my dad, I'm leaving this place... This place is like hell to me.
홍지수
...is it still like hell even though we're here?
홍지수
You're not being sincere, so why are you acting and talking like you are?
홍지수
Dad? If you want to see me, meet me. Mom? If you want to see me, meet me too. Please don't leave...
최현아
... Honestly, I don't want to leave, but I feel like this will all end if I leave...
홍지수
...Hyun-ah, I'll be honest with you. We all have our own emotional wounds, but we still rely on each other. Have you ever relied on us in the 7 years you've been with us?
최현아
... I relied on it a lot
홍지수
So let's go back home now
최현아
...Aren't you going to the hospital?
홍지수
I'm here with you, and Seungkwan and Seokmin are here with you too, so let's go home now.
최현아
...But how do you get here?
홍지수
Your homeroom teacher told you something, and Jihoon has been following you.
최현아
... So that's why Jun-Hwi came right away
홍지수
Let's go now, Hyun-ah. Soon-young is worried about you a lot.
