“I don’t know the details, but Mr. Kwon seems to have lived a quite exhausting and intense life.”
Instead of answering, Seolwon nodded her head.
As the successor to Chaeha, she must have carried the burden of her deceased brother as well, and the path he walked would have been far from smooth.
“Mr. Kwon must have been very tired all this time. So, he’ll probably want to sleep deeply now. When he wakes up, he should enjoy a happy life with his beautiful wife and adorable son for the rest of his life.”
“James…”
At his sincerely comforting words, tears welled up in Seolwon’s eyes for a moment.
At that moment, a vibration echoed from the mobile phone.
“Seolwon, it’s me. I wanted to let you know I’m going to visit the hospital today. I explained the situation and asked to finish a bit early, so I’m bringing him now. Don’t come to pick us up today.”
It was Jaeyoon.
On the day of the accident, after coming to the hospital and explaining the situation, Seolwon couldn’t have a long conversation with him. Looking back now, his condition at that time wasn’t great either, and she felt she had been too indifferent.
“Thank you, Mr. Jaeyoon. If it’s okay, come and have fig cake with Lora and James.”
After sending the reply, Seolwon pulled a chair closer and sat down. From now on, she was determined to find out what Chaeha had talked about with Lora and James behind her back.
About 30 minutes later, Jaeyoon arrived at the hospital with Uju. When the spacious VIP room became lively, it felt more like a gathering than a hospital visit.
“Hello, I’m Choi Jaeyoon.”
“Oh~ I’ve heard a lot about you from our baby!”
“He helped Seolwon a lot.”
“No, I received more help.”
“Mr. James, Mrs. Lora. Uju is here too~.”
While exchanging greetings, Uju ran into the arms of the two people.
“Yeah, our lovely baby. I missed you!”
With an expression that said it didn’t hurt even if you put it in your eyes, the two people hugged Uju floatingly. During the time when they ate the cake that Lora handed while sitting on James’s lap, Uju couldn’t take his eyes off Chaeha.
In the meantime, Jaeyoon approached Seolwon, who was standing by the window, and apologized as if he felt sorry.
“I’m sorry for not being able to save Uju secretly. And Mrs. Kwon too… It shouldn’t have been left alone in such a dangerous situation.”
“Why would that be Mr. Jaeyoon’s fault?”
“But… Your father saved our mother, didn’t he?”
At the unexpected words, Seolwon looked at Jaeyoon’s seemingly earnest face once again. She had thought that he was overflowing with a new life on the island, but she didn’t know he could think like this.
“Mr. Jaeyoon, don’t say such things. Our father was a firefighter.”
“…”
“Rescuing people is a natural thing for a firefighter to do.”
Seolwon, too, once couldn’t accept this obvious truth. If her father, who left only her and her mother alone in the world, had not been resented, it would have been a lie.
Everyone has only one life, and she also had thoughts of why he would sacrifice his life for a complete stranger.
Respecting her proud father, she also harbored deep-seated resentment.
But now Seolwon could understand.
“And saving a son is also a natural thing. Mr. Jaeyoon doesn’t have to feel sorry.”
“Seolwon…”
Perhaps thinking that it was pointless to say more, Jaeyoon accepted Seolwon’s words with a warm gaze.
Helping someone, rescuing someone, and that someone rescuing someone else—maybe it’s fortunate that the world goes like this.
At that moment, Uju, who had sweet figs smeared all over his face, asked the adults.
“When will Daddy wake up?”
“…”
The hospital room was momentarily filled with a silent atmosphere.
It was a question that no one could provide a clear answer to.
It was the moment when Seolwon was about to explain things.
Sensing an unusual atmosphere, Uju jumped off James’s lap.
Then, for several days, Uju approached the lying Chaeha and carefully examined his eyes, nose, and mouth.
His small fingers lingered on Chaeha’s nose and mouth for an unusually long time, as if checking if he was breathing.
Uju, facing the faint breath and lifeless face, burst into tears in an instant.
“Is our dad not waking up?”
“Uju…”
“Dad isn’t dying, right? What if Uju’s dad dies?”
Intentionally not bringing him to the hospital frequently to avoid worrying, the child’s suppressed anxiety exploded momentarily.
Eventually, Uju burst into loud sobs.
With a pounding chest, Uju continuously muttered, “Dad, Dad.”
Whether it was an explanation or an excuse that needed to be made, everyone couldn’t find the courage to open their mouths in the face of the pitiful sight.
The child’s sorrow seemed to transmit pain to every single cell.
Large teardrops fell to the floor with a thud.
At that moment, a very faint but unmistakable voice flowed from Uju’s side.
“…Ju-ya.”
Seolwon, who first sensed that voice, stood up in surprise.
The low voice touched her ears again.
“…Uju-ya.”
“Dad…?”
“Chaeha!”
Seolwon’s throat calling his name tightened.
Was his name so earnest and eager?
Seolwon was keenly aware of the weight that the name of a loved one carried, the weight of life.
Having heard his name, Chaeha’s pupils lingered first on Uju in front of him, then shifted towards Seolwon.
“…Chaeha.”
The path to him, step by step, seemed both distant and close, like a thousand miles.
But at the same time, it was a fleeting moment.
As if promised with Uju and Seolwon, he rushed towards Chaeha’s wide chest.
“Dad! Dad woke up!”
As everyone watched the scene holding their breath, Chaeha smiled leisurely, looking at Uju.
“Of course. Kings don’t die easily. Little one.”
Then, it happened. Uju, as if vowing never to let go, embraced his neck with his small hands.
Then, with a confident and affectionate voice, he declared.
“I’m not a little one. My name is Kwon Uju!”
