166 – 161. Date?
A few days later.
“It’s a little weird to carry flowers.”
At my words, Yoonji smiles and holds out the flower basket she’s holding.
“No one hates getting flowers. I was so happy when you bought them for me.”
“No, that’s…”
Why is she bringing up the past again?
I can’t say anything because I’m speechless, and Yoonji pats me on the back with a smile.
“Let’s go quickly, I have something I want to say and there are many places we need to stop by.”
“Something you want to say?”
“Apology and gratitude.”
Yoonji said succinctly.
I know what she means by that alone, so I enter the hospital with her.
We take the elevator to the top floor.
It was a VIP ward.
“It must have cost a lot of money.”
When I asked her because Yoonji had paid for all the hospital expenses, she replied with a wry smile.
“Money doesn’t matter.”
“……”
“Besides, I’m not the only one paying for it, our company is paying for it. To put it bluntly, we only failed in this case.”
Judging by her expression, it seems that it was a time when Yoonji learned a lot in many ways.
The VIP ward was a private room, so there were four rooms to enter.
First, we went into Jung Chan-woo’s room, which was in front of us, and surprisingly, all five of them were gathered there.
“What, why are you all here?”
Our handsome guys, who had been beaten up by gangsters in 30 seconds, were gathered together and tapping on their cell phones.
“I’m playing a game.”
“I was bored being alone in the hospital room.”
They don’t seem to be able to afford the value of the private room they were given.
It seems that the four of them are playing a cell phone game. The bald man who was smiling softly in the corner greets me with a gesture.
“Thank you so much this time. Thanks to you, the kids weren’t badly hurt.”
Surprisingly.
It was the bald man who protected the four people who had melted down in 30 seconds.
The old man is also good at fighting.
Thanks to him, these things weren’t badly hurt, but what’s important.
Han Kang and Pyo Jin-ho’s military enlistment was delayed because of me.
Originally, they were supposed to enter the training camp the next day, but this time they were hospitalized and it was delayed again.
I hand over an expensive fruit basket as an apology.
“Oh, I’m dead. That’s right, Woojin-ah!”
“Keugh! Woojin-ah!”
The game is over and the two of them run towards me.
Of course, I knew what they were going to say, but the two of them forgot that they were patients and lifted me up and started to circle the room.
“Thanks to you, I’m late for the army!”
“Yay! I love it! I love it!”
“……Real live-for-today kids.”
Give me back my conscience that I couldn’t even lift my head because I felt sorry.
My heart was complicated when I saw them happy that they didn’t go to the army.
They’re going to go eventually anyway.
Wouldn’t it be better to just go early?
Should I apologize to these guys or should I accept it with a smile?
An ambiguous situation.
Anyway, after one round of fuss.
Yoonji coughs and hands each of the four a bouquet of flowers.
“The hospital prohibits flowers, but they said artificial flowers are okay. Here you go.”
“Oh…”
“Thank you.”
They all look at Yoonji’s gift and don’t seem very happy. I wondered what kind of flowers they were, but Yoonji smiled and pointed to her arms with her hand.”Try picking a flower.”
Wondering what she meant, everyone picked a flower and opened it up, and out popped a bill.
“Holy…”
“How much is this!”
“Yunnie! Ah! Yunnie!”
“I don’t have to go to the army, and I have spending money! Yay!”
No one knew when the bills would stop coming out, but everyone was happy to see the bills coming out, like primitive people who had discovered fire.
“What the heck? Is that what it was?”
I asked in confusion because I didn’t know either, and Yunji nodded with a wink.
“It’s obvious that men would like it.”
“She’s been with broadcasters, so she knows how to do events.”
“I’ve done it with you often too.”
“Th, that… that’s right.”
Cosplaying, going out shopping with a power tool plugged in, in a camping tent, etc.
‘What the heck, all I can think of is perverted stuff.’
I wondered if my brain was rotten because all I could think of was that kind of thing when she said event.
Yunji must have thought of something similar, because her face turned slightly red and her breath was hot.
Yunji, who had taken a step forward to the four people who were enjoying themselves, cleared her throat with a cough and bowed her head deeply.
“This time, we hurt you all because of our immature response. I’m so sorry. It’s a little weak compared to what you’ve been through, but it’s our sincerity.”
“Oh, this is enough!”
“Yes! Thank you so much!”
“Those guys were the bad ones in the first place!”
It’s easy to say that they’re easy to handle, or that they’re just good guys because they’re so cheerful.
Yunji replied that she was glad to see everyone enjoying themselves.
She bowed her head to the bald man as well.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were here. I was going to visit you later.”
“No, I’m fine as long as I protected our handsome guys. You don’t have to visit me separately.”
“But…”
“If you really don’t want to, can you lend me Woojin?”
What the hell.
Why me?
Go to Chanwoo.
Yunji took a step back as I shivered in horror, and shook her head with my arms crossed.
“Th, that doesn’t seem like a good idea.”
“Too bad!”
A bright smile that didn’t look sorry at all. She finished her conversation with the bald man like that.
We left the hospital room to the cheers of the four, who had gone from being handsome to being idiots again.
“Phew, that was close.”
Yunji sighed in relief, wiping her chest.
It seemed that she was worried that they might not accept her apology because the incident was so big this time.
After leaving the hospital, we stood there for a while without saying anything.
We had something we wanted to say to each other, but we were still organizing our thoughts.
“What about Pofo?”
I opened my mouth first.
“He’s okay. All the other kids retired from broadcasting, but Pofo decided to continue with us.”
“I guess it was a big deal that the Construction Engineering guys came at the end.”
“Yes, he was originally going to quit, but after seeing the Construction Engineering fans, he asked for help because he wanted to continue. He wants to change his name though.”
It seemed that he had been dissatisfied with the nickname Pofo that Hwang Jang had given him.
Come to think of it, Pofo is not a name that would come out in this era.
“It’s not a bad idea to start over.”
Yunji nodded with a smile, took a deep breath, and bowed her head.
“I’m sorry, Woojin.”
“……”
“I was very immature this time.”
I felt a lot of emotions as I watched Yunji apologize.She had done her best in her own way.
They knew how to deal with the police well. They had already figured out how to respond to a simple report.
So I wanted to get inside information and the truth and get solid evidence to stab them.
In that sense, Yoo Ah-rin would have been a very tempting key.
They were attracted to her because of her amazing shorts.
There would have been no suspicion that Yoo Ah-rin had approached them, but that Hwang Sa-jang had approached her.
“Honestly, I was embarrassed at the time.”
“……”
“I didn’t expect to see you and Yoo Ah-rin there.”
It was clear that Yoon Ji, the younger brother, and the younger sister-in-law had made a mistake in attracting Yoo Ah-rin. Even though she agreed.
“If things hadn’t gone well, it could have been a big problem. Anyway, it went well.”
I put my hand on Yoon Ji’s head, who was bowing her head.
It seemed like the first time I had done this, so I stroked her head a little harder.
“So that’s it. We’re 21 now. We’re the president and the chairman’s son. But after all, we’re still college students.”
You can make mistakes.
You can fail.
I was a little surprised because Yoon Ji had been a thorough image all this time, but it also meant that she was that desperate.
It meant that she wanted to save the broadcasters who were being exploited.

“If you fail, you don’t have to do it next time.”
Yoon Ji slowly raised her head as I comforted her.
Reddened eyes.
I smiled at her, who looked like she was about to burst into tears, and she carefully grabbed my collar with her trembling hands.
“Ha, just once.”
“Huh?”
“Is it okay if you just hug me once?”
“……In front of the hospital, everyone can see?”
“Even so. Hug me and kiss me.”
Look at her acting cute.
I opened my hands slightly, looking around, and Yoon Ji ran right in and buried her face in my chest.
“Never again! I’ll never make this mistake again!”
“Yes, you will.”
“I’m sorry, Woo-jin! I’m sorry!”
“It’s okay. You made that judgment because you’ve been working hard for the past six months.”
She must have been trying to work hard to come back to me somehow.
If she was a little broken to come back to me.
Wouldn’t it be enough to fix it again?
My heart sank.
I felt a cold feeling as I watched Yoon Ji cry, and I gently hugged her.
“It’s okay, so talk to Yoo Ah-rin. She’s not a bad kid, even though she’s dirty, and to be honest, she’ll forgive you.”
“I, I know.”
“Oh, why did you become such a crybaby when I didn’t see you for a while?”
“Shh! Don’t say that!”
She said that, but she didn’t fall.
The people near the hospital were paying attention, but Yoon Ji didn’t seem to know because she buried her face in my chest.
“I like the way you look so confident… I acted intentionally a little bit.”
The truth that I confessed only now.
When I heard that, I laughed a little without realizing it.
“Yes, it’s a different look.”
I gave her a little time and her crying stopped, as if she had calmed down.
“But can you give me Min Joo-hee’s number? I’ll visit her separately.”
The captain who did a great job this time.
“Oh, that’s okay. I’ll tell you separately. You don’t need that. Just buy me a meal. So I decided to have lunch together today.”
“……”I felt the strength in Yoonji’s hand holding me.
* * *
After parting with Yoonji, who said she was going to meet Yu-arin,
I went downtown to have lunch with Sunbae Joo-hee.
I headed to the steakhouse because I had boasted that I would buy her an expensive steak.
“Isn’t she here yet?”
There were people around, but I couldn’t see Sunbae Joo-hee.
When I checked the time, there were still 10 minutes left.
I was looking at my cell phone, thinking that I could just wait at the entrance.
Knock, knock.
Someone tapped me on the shoulder.
I looked up curiously.
“Why, why are you pretending not to know me when you see me?”
Not the usual jumper she wore.
A beige one-piece dress that was skintight.
The hand that used to hold a cigarette was lost and placed on her stomach.
She had makeup on, and her hair was tied down neatly, giving her a different kind of brilliance than usual.
“Su, Sunbae Joo-hee?”
Sunbae Joo-hee nodded with a flushed face.
