52 – Episode 52
“I like you… I like you a lot, Jihoon.”
Seo-ah has been unable to tell me all this time.. Maybe she should have told me a long time ago, but she finally brought it up now.
“Thank you, Jihoon.. For waking up again.”
“If anyone sees me, they will think I’ve been lying down for a week. Let’s go home. I slept for a few hours and woke up feeling refreshed.”
How long have you been lying down? 5 Hours or 7 hours?
“Well.. Jihoon, it hasn’t been a week.. You haven’t woken up for a day.”
“…What?!”
After that, she heard different stories from Seo-ah.
From the story of the gangsters running away, to the story of the police agency taking action after my father got angry on the phone, and
“…You listened to all my help?”
“Yes”
No… You didn’t find a caregiver?
“I refused to become a caregiver.. If you hire a caregiver when you get hurt because of me.. What will become of me?”
“No.. But still..”
No matter how married you are, nursing is separate from that.
“Is there anything between us that we can see and cannot see? I can take care of Jihoon for the rest of his life even if he becomes a vegetable.”
“I see..”
“But… since you woke up, you didn’t do anything special, right?”
“Yes!”
… ? You didn’t??
Seo-ah immediately called the doctor and nurse, while I contacted her parents.
“Hello?”
“This..Woke up!? “There’s no problem with your body!?”
As expected, my mom must have been very worried and screamed as soon as I called.
“Ah.. It’s okay and.. What do you mean when you say the National Police Agency has moved to catch a gangster..?”
It is true that we live well at home.
So, I joined the company as a back in the future.
But as far as I know, my parents had nothing to do with politics.
“Oh, that’s right… your father’s classmate is the police chief.”
“You’re the police chief?!”
No, I didn’t know either… ?
Oh, now that I think about it, it was quite a while ago… I guess he was chosen as the police chief now…?
I don’t know the exact term of office of the police chief, but it’s probably not 15 years.
“Yes, I heard you were newly appointed this time and this is what happened.”
Ah.. So?
They say the world is all about personal connections. If I was from an ordinary family, even if I reported it to the police, they wouldn’t have been able to conduct a proper investigation.
Because the times are still new, there are still gangsters like this, but it will probably change from this year onwards.
“Okay, Mom, and.. What about discharge?”
“Please stay for one or two more days to find out if there is a problem.”
“No… Wouldn’t it be okay if I didn’t go any further?”
Is hospital life boring?
Swish
“Ah!”
At that time, someone took my cell phone and when I looked to the side, I saw Seo-ah standing there.
“Your mother, Jihoon, has woken up. Yes, yes, I will be by your side for two days or a week. Yes, thank you, mother, yes~”
“Ja”

“No.. I am discharged from the hospital.”
“The doctor is here. Please be quiet and get examined.”
Seo Ara, who usually listens to everything I say, was also merciless when it was directly related to my health.
“Okay then, we’ll do an examination. It’s a simple autopsy, so you can just stay where you are.”
“Yes…”
Anyway, after leaving my body to the doctor, a few minutes passed.
“Yes, there is no problem”
“Then!!”
“But as the guardian said, I think I will have to monitor my condition at the hospital for two or three days.”
“…Yes”
Even the doctor told me, so I had no choice but to accept it.
“Goodbye, thank you, doctor.”
“Your guardian, the patient is now awake, so please rest comfortably.”
“…Yes”
Seo-ah, what on earth did you do while I was lying down, why is the doctor saying that?
“Now then, just like I heard, you can’t move even one step from now on, understand?”
“Well.. I didn’t tell you not to move even one step.”
“So?”
It seems like Seo-ah has become more bold…
“Okay… Then do you want to sit here?”
“Yes!”
She came running and sat next to me.
“Seoya?”
“I have decided now that I will never be separated from you. I decided to do so in the beginning, but now I will never be separated from you.”
“Yeah..Yeah”
Grumble
“..Ah”
“But let’s eat, okay?”
“Yes..”
Seo Ah turned her head and nodded her head.
I left the hospital room and stopped by the convenience store on the first floor to buy something for Seo-ah to eat.
“Are you okay with this?”
“Yes, when you couldn’t wake up, you only ate hospital food.”
“..? Why?”
“You don’t know when you’ll wake up, so I did that.”
“Ah.. But even though I woke up right away, I couldn’t eat.”
“…”
Anyway, as Seo-ah and I walked down the hallway, the nurses greeted us as if they recognized us.
“Oh, I guess you’re awake.”
“Congratulations!”
“Uh…Yeah? Thank you.”
“Thank you”
“hehehe, I guess you really like it. Does the patient know that? “The guardian has been in the hospital room ever since I entered it.”
“Are you Seo-ah?!”
“Yes, we have seen similar cases, but this is the first time we have had such a close relationship with someone!”
“hehehe..”
Seo-ah smiled brightly, happy to hear that our relationship was good.
“Are you married?”
“Yes? Ah..No”
“Yes, I did!”
Should I stand?
“Aha! That’s why you were so sincere.”
“Yes, of course. It’s a wife’s job to take care of her husband.”
Kkwaak
“Should I stand?”
“Shall we go?”
“Ugh”
After Seo-ah came to the hospital room, she released my arm.
“hehehe, Seo-ah, were you jealous?”
“…Oh no!”
When I thought about why she did that, I think she did it because the two nurses were young and approached me.
“Hey, what’s wrong? I told you, if you’re anxious, come to me anytime, okay?”
Nod
“Huh.. Now you should lie down. I’ll prepare the table and you can eat next to me.”
“It will stink..”
“It’s okay, this much”
I helped her eat comfortably by stretching out her desk at the end of the hospital bed.
“Eat deliciously”
“Yes, do you want to eat too?”
“No, I will stay”
I felt sick to my stomach, probably because I just woke up.
“Jihoon!”
At that time, my parents came in.
“Are you here?”
“Oh my! “My son is okay!?”
“Yes, yes, I’m fine. You didn’t do this when I was down.”
“How can you do that there when Seo-ah is there?”
“Yes..?”
“Oh, I guess I had a good conversation with Jihoon because I saw you smiling.”
“Yes? Ah.. Yes, I’m sorry, mother.”
“I said it was okay. Even though Seo-ah grew up in that kind of environment, she is our family now, do you understand?”
“Family..”
“Okay, I ask you to take care of Jihoon in the future, understand?”
“Yes!”
“Keuhum”
“Please take care of your father too!”
“hahahaha, thank you, Seo-ya, and I’m glad your son is safe.”
“Your father”
“Ugh.. I need to catch all these bastards.. What is your friend doing? You should jump in and do it yourself.”
No, the Commissioner of Police himself…?
“Still, I’m glad I was appointed this time, so thanks to this, I’ll be able to catch the guy who broke our Jihoon’s head.”
“Okay then! “I will make sure that bastard rots in prison.”
Seo Ah nodded her head in agreement.
“Seo-ya, don’t worry anymore and take care of Ji-hoon, okay?”
“Yes..?! “I am.”
“So we don’t know? “You always live quietly in our house, so it’s okay.”
“Ha..But”
“We’re family now.”
Mom hugged Seo-ah and said,
“Mother…”
“My daughter is so kind.”
The mother stroked her head and Seo-ah shed a few tears.
“Then we’ll go again. If anything happens, can you contact me?”
“Yes, mother~ I will take good care of Jihoon.”
“Okay, let’s talk about it at school.”
“Yes!”
Now that my parents have left the hospital room, it’s really just the two of us left.
“It’s good, Seo-ya”
“Yes.. My mother accepted me.”
“You acknowledged it from the beginning, it was just that you couldn’t open your heart.”
From the time we got married until her accident, Seo-ah spoke on the phone with my mom every day, and she stopped by her parents’ house for lunch or dinner almost 4 or 5 times a month.
Maybe that’s why her parents told me that Seo-ah was being good to us because she didn’t have a family, so they decided to take better care of her.
Her father also treated Seo-ah like his own daughter, and she even cared for her more than me.
“..I feel like there are so many things I haven’t seen before.”
“Really?”
“I even married you.”
“Actually, the reason I asked you to go on a trip with me was because I planned to open your heart a little more.”
I went to play with Seo and talked about what we had said earlier. Unbeknownst to me, she wanted to talk about things she had been feeling anxious about.
“But.. It ended up like that hahahaha..”
“Jihoon!”
“Huh?!”
“Really! I love you, and I will love you forever and even after I die!”
“Okay, okay, okay”
I stroked Seo-ah’s head and lay down on the bed with her.
“From now on, no negative thoughts from now on, understand?”
“..Yes, I will try my best”
“Uh-huh! “It’s not about effort, it has to be like that.”
“Yes.. I will do that, so Jihoon, don’t abandon me.”
“I promise I will never abandon you either.”
“Okay, if you leave me, I’ll follow you around like a yandere in the novel you told me about, okay?”
Seo-ah is a yandere.. She might be kind of scary.
“I..I will never do that.”
“Yes!”
That will never happen, but let’s be careful so that Seo-ah doesn’t become a yandere.
