83 – Visiting the hospital
It is an unfamiliar ceiling.
What you see is a white ceiling. What you hear is the buzzing of tinnitus and the intense noise that pierces through it.
The unpleasant noise created by the combination of screaming, shouting, small sobbing and loud crying disturbed my mind.
‘Where am I? What was I doing… ?’
I feel dizzy. I want to get up and take stock of the situation, but my body is too heavy.
I feel like I have become cotton soaked in water.
“… Ahhh…… “
When I opened my mouth and made a small sound, a sound so thick and soggy that even I was surprised came out of my mouth.
My throat feels itchy and stuffy, as if something is blocking it.
“Uh, uh… Ah, ah… !”
It’s scary. I was so scared of this unknown situation that I somehow raised my upper body. A mix of moans and screams came out from the intense pain.
I raised my upper body and tilted my sore head to check the condition of my body.
My whole body is covered in bandages. A splint was placed on the right arm, which was particularly painful. Could it be that it was broken?
When I moved my left arm, which was less used, to check my head, I saw that there was something like a cloth covering the area around my head as well.
“What is this…?” “
It’s scary. What state am I in now? Why am I like this?
I looked around to see if anyone was there, but everything was covered with a white tent.
It’s all noisy outside, but I’m the only one in this space.
“Ugh, ugh…” ! Ha… “Ahh!”
Thump-
I somehow managed to move my body and get off the bed, but my weak body fell to the floor.
When my already sore body fell to the marble floor, I let out a scream from the intense pain.
Still, I gritted my teeth and moved my body right away. The fear of this lonely and inexplicable situation was greater than the physical pain.
‘This place can’t be… ‘
When I slightly open one side of the tent, I see people all wearing blue clothes running around busily. Occasionally, I saw people wearing white robes, but underneath they were also wearing blue clothes.
People being carried on stretchers. Screams and moans of pain. A fierce shouting sound is heard occasionally.
All of these scenes gave me clear answers to my questions.
“Hospital… why me… ?”
However, the answer that this was a hospital did not give me an answer as to why I was in the hospital.
The answer was two voices coming from close by.
“So why did you call Sol this night?”
“… Sorry.”
One fierce voice and one despairing voice. Familiar voices came from the other side of the tent.
“Who wanted to hear me say sorry? Why was it called! “Speak up, speak up!”
“…… “
I moved my body with difficulty and opened the tent on the other side, and there were two women standing right in front of me.
The woman who glares at the other person as if she will kill them is Soi.
And the woman who stands pitifully with her eyes downcast like a criminal.
It was only then that I realized why I was in the hospital.
I was hit by a car. Even though the light was clearly green, the car rushed toward Ara at full speed.
“Ah… “
“So, Sol… !”
Two people found me rolling on the floor.
Soi ran towards me and Ara cried in her place.
“Sol, are you okay? Do you recognize me?”
“… Yes, you are Kim Soi. My girlfriend.”
“You thought you were going to die… !”
Maybe it was because I was hurt, but Soi sat down in front of me and cried, unable to bear to be hugged.
Because her body was weak and I couldn’t hug her, I folded my hands around her hands on the floor.
“… “I’ll call the doctor.”
Ara, who was looking at us bitterly, ran somewhere.
‘… ‘You’re safe.’
Perhaps because I was relieved to see her running, her eyes slowly closed again.
———-
The day dawned, and I was transferred from the emergency room to the general ward.
The doctor who examined my body once again laughed as if it were absurd.
“That’s right. You are very strong. An average person’s life would have been in real danger if an accident of that magnitude had occurred… “I’m very happy that it ended at this level.”
The severity of the injury was at best a crack in the right arm. The only other injuries suffered were abrasions all over the body from rolling on the floor. They say there is no need for surgery as long as there are a few stitches.
The doctor’s overall opinion was that he was in very good condition considering he was hit by a car and flew almost 10 meters.
I guess so. I was able to walk on my own feet like this in just one day.
“hahahaha, if your parents come today, please at least bow to them. “It seems like you have a naturally good body and exercise well.”
“… Okay.”
I just laughed off the doctor’s jokes as he knew nothing about my situation.
No matter how good of a body they gave me, there’s no way I could ever feel grateful to those people.
Even if you were in the same car accident in the first place, you died in your previous life and lived in this life. It’s not just a mountain, there are almost no injuries.
In my previous life, I was hit by a car that had braked hard, but in this life, there were no brakes.
So what I want to say is that, unlike my previous life, I survived thanks to my hard-trained body.
If I had to express my gratitude, it would be Ara’s family who took me in and raised me.
… Well, he got hit while trying to save Ara.
With a mesh-like cast on my right arm, I was briefly hospitalized to see if there was any problem.
It seems to be correct, since he had symptoms of a concussion, including fainting and headaches, right after being hit by the car.
“Ah, Sol… “
“…… “
When I returned to the hospital room, the two women who were waiting for me turned their heads towards me.
Among them, only Soi came up to me and put her hand on my arm, and Ara quietly sat on her chair and looked at me.
He made a pitiful face, as if this was something he was not allowed to do.
“What does the doctor say? “Sol says you’re okay?”
“They were surprised that it was so fine. “They say you can just stay in the hospital for a short time.”
“Ha… “
Soyi hugged me with her sigh of relief.
The torn wounds all over my body hurt from the sudden weight, but I didn’t show it.
“…… “
I made eye contact with Ara, who was quietly staring at me through Soi’s arms.
She looked relieved when I told her she was fine, and it seemed like she wanted to say something, but she couldn’t open her mouth.
After holding Soi like that for a while, Ara, whose lips were only trembling, stood up from her seat.
“Oh, hey… Ugh… !”
She spoke to Ara as she passed us, and Soyi’s arms tightened around me.
It’s as if he won’t allow me to talk to Ara right now.
“…… “
After standing in front of the door and exchanging glances for a moment, Ara left.
Soyi didn’t even look at Ara until she left the hospital room, as if she wasn’t there from the beginning.
“… Sol, let’s lie down first. “I need to calm down now.”
Soy calmly urged me.
While she was hospitalized for about a week, Soyi visited the hospital with her every day.
But she never asked.
Why did she go to see Ara that night?
———-
“Wow, are you already discharged today?”
Gu Min-seop asked that while eating the melon he received as a hospital visit.
Of course, this guy didn’t buy it, but it was something Yoo Ah-hyun bought when she came to visit.
“So, you came so quickly to visit your friend?”
“It’s because you were hospitalized too briefly. “If you are treated unfairly, you may get more injured and be hospitalized for a longer period of time.”
“… “Are you really crazy?”
I contacted this guy on the first day of hospitalization, but the fact that he didn’t come back until it was almost time for me to be discharged is bullsh*t.
I hate myself for having this guy as my friend.
“But the room is nice? Why do you have money to sleep in a single room? “It would cost over a million won per night, but here?”
“It wasn’t a single room from the beginning.”
It was Yoo Jae-jun who put me in a special, single room.
On the first day of hospitalization, he came to the hospital room and thanked me for saving Ara and apologized.
I was confused as to why he was apologizing even though he didn’t know how to thank me, so he said something quite shocking.
It is said that the driver who hit me was instigated by his older brother Yu Han-jun.
It is said that Yu Han-jun, who had a grudge against Ara due to the issue of King Yucheol’s inheritance, instigated the murder to kill her.
However, since all of the subordinates he had originally ordered left, he was unable to find the right person, so it must have been quite awkward.
As soon as the Chinese driver who was running away was caught, he immediately called Yu Han-jun’s name.
There were many other surprising stories, such as Ara’s evidence of his crime and King Yucheol’s will… That didn’t really matter to me.
The important thing is that Ara is safe.
If Ara had been hit by that car and not me… Something has probably happened that you don’t want to think about.
At that time, I felt fortunate that I arrived in time and was able to save Ara.
I couldn’t tell Gu Min-seop everything about this situation, so I just explained that I was giving it to Yoo Jae-jun because he was worried about me.
“Well, he saved his daughter’s life, so I guess the chairman can do this much. Especially to you.”
“… “I have received a lot of grace from the Chairman since long ago.”
Gu Min-seop asked me after listening to me and thinking about something.
“… You know. “Do you still like Yoo Ah-ra?”
“…… “
“No, I’m not saying that’s bad… You can do that because you’ve liked her for a long time. “It’s not like people’s minds change that easily.”
When I couldn’t answer, Gu Min-seop waved his hand.
Knock knock-
When something difficult came up and our conversation was interrupted for a moment, someone knocked on the door.
When I sent a reply asking her to come in, the door opened and she came in.

“Ah… “
It was Ara.
Ara, who had not come to see her at all, came to visit her on the last day of her hospitalization, as if he was aware of her feelings.
In her hand was something that looked like a document envelope.
