The day before, when I received Choi Do-kang’s call and went to the hospital in surprise, Cha Seung-jo happened to be receiving a sedative injection and was deeply asleep.
Perhaps due to the sedative, he didn’t wake up for a long time.
As I sat by his side, staring blankly at him, the sudden wish crossed my mind that he would sleep like this for the rest of his life.
Eventually, unable to face his face due to impatience and fear, I spent a few hours by his side and went home before he woke up.
And yesterday, I simply couldn’t bring myself to go to the hospital.
If I don’t go today, it might seem strange, so I mustered the courage to go to the hospital, carrying a sense of unease.
I had to act as usual because any sudden change in behavior might be noticed.
Perhaps due to my anxious mind, I moved busily, but something felt unstable.
I cooked, decorated the food more elaborately than usual, and moved around busily.
His taste was picky, and he easily got tired of things, but I captured Cha Seung-jo’s heart with a savory sesame porridge and a simple but flavorful beef seaweed soup that he liked from dawn.
“Today, Do-kang is meeting Assistant Manager Cha, so it should be resolved. Yes, everything will be fine. Let’s not worry too much since he said he’ll take care of it.”
While saying these words to find peace of mind, I tried incessantly, but my heart still pounded, and my steps were heavy.
Meeting Cha Seung-jo in this situation was so frightening, but I had no choice but to visit him as if I knew nothing.
“There’s still nothing revealed. Since he just told me to find out, I can’t do anything. So, what will he do?”
No one asked, but Juran answered alone, trying to find peace of mind.
When I arrived at the hospital, for some reason, the bed was empty.
“Where did Chairman Cha Seung-jo go?”
I grabbed a nearby nurse and asked.
“Chairman Cha Seung-jo, the patient, went to the treatment room right now. His condition has been improving since yesterday, so he started some light rehabilitation therapy today. If you wait a moment, he’ll come soon.”
“Oh, that person’s body… is getting better?”
“Yes, if he speaks slowly, he can pronounce words quite fluently now. Did he call you yesterday?”
“A phone call? Who called?”
“Yes, Chairman Cha Seung-jo asked to borrow a phone and made a call somewhere.”
“A phone call? Where? Where did he call?”
When I heard that Cha Seung-jo made a phone call, suddenly, informal language popped out of Juran’s mouth, and the nurse’s face subtly twisted.
“Huh? I don’t know about that.”
“The phone! Give me the phone! He said he made a call with Nurse’s phone yesterday! Hurry!”
Juran urgently tapped the nurse.
“No, that’s…”
“Why are you being so wishy-washy! Hurry up and give it to me!
Despite shouting and demanding to see something that wasn’t hers, Juran reluctantly handed the phone to the nurse, who looked at her with displeasure.
“It’s this number. Oh! What are you doing right now?”
Without seeking permission from the nurse, Juran snatched the phone and called the number.
Rrrr Rrrr
After a few rings, the other party answered the call.
Yes, this is Daenamu Law Firm. Please speak.
Daenamu Law Firm.
A place headed by Kim Dae-beom, who had a deep friendship with Cha Seung-jo and served as its representative.
Now that she could speak properly, Juran immediately called the lawyer.
Most of the matters were handled by Cha Seung-jo through Choi Do-kang, but something didn’t feel right.
A feeling of unexplained anxiety spread throughout her body.
‘Something strange is happening.’
The rapidly thudding heartbeat seemed to echo in her ears.
Juran’s body, in a daze, trembled as if in a seizure.
The nurse’s phone, which had slipped from her hand, fell to the floor, and with a ‘crack,’ a sound of something breaking was heard.
The nurse shouted as she picked up her fallen phone, “What if you do this to someone else’s phone!”
“Noisy.”
“What did you say?”
“It’s noisy! Get out right now! Leave!”
Juran’s eyes, shouting like a demon, were filled with terror.
Ridiculous as it was, not wanting to cause trouble in the VVIP room, the nurse, who couldn’t afford a dispute, left the room, suppressing her anger.
‘What’s going on? If she could make a call, she should have called me or Do-kang first. Why did she call the lawyer? Did she really find out something?’
One thing was certain, she had called the lawyer, but for some reason, Juran felt desperate.
She felt like she needed to inform Choi Do-kang about this as soon as possible.
Running outside, she quickly dialed Do-kang’s number, checking her surroundings in case someone might overhear.
Rrrr Rrrr
But no matter how many times she called, he didn’t answer, and the signal kept ringing until it went to voicemail.
Feeling increasingly anxious, Juran left a message.
[He seems to have talked to Lawyer Kim Dae-beom. Read this and call me right away!]‘Why is she so uneasy? Just answer the phone!’
Feeling restless, she wandered around the emergency exit stairs, looking around, then decided it wouldn’t work.
