Eun Soo’s lips parted in surprise as she finally remembered who Hwang In Woo was.
“In Woo, brother?”
“Do you remember?”
“Yes……”
Eun Soo, who was about to smile brightly in delight, suppressed her emotions and responded in a calm voice.
She had seen Hyuk Joo’s stiff expression. She felt she shouldn’t appear too happy, leaving her husband with his hardened look as if something unpleasant had happened.
In Woo furrowed his brows slightly, seemingly hurt by Eun Soo’s subdued reaction, which he had expected to be a happy one, then smoothed them out.
“I’m disappointed. When I handed you your cellphone, I recognized you as Oh Eun Soo right away.”
“You’ve changed. More than 10 years have passed.”
Eun Soo, feeling sorry and happy at the same time, briefly covered her cheeks with her hands and then let go.
Hwang In Woo was the son of her former attending physician, Dr. Hwang Tae Kyung. He, who often visited his father’s hospital, had gotten along well with Eun Soo.
Unable to attend daycare due to her illness, Eun Soo desperately wanted a friend, and was happy with the visits from In Woo, who was much older than her.
However, after she was declared cured, she lost touch with them when Dr. Hwang Tae Kyung, her former attending physician, left for the United States.
“How are you feeling?”
“I’m fine.”
“My father would have been really happy to see you……”
At In Woo’s trailing words, Eun Soo cautiously asked.
“And the doctor?”
“He passed away last year.”
Ah, Eun Soo sighed slowly. Eun Soo’s eyelashes quickly became moist as she thought of Dr. Hwang Tae Kyung, who had treated her with utmost care.
“When last year?”
“Around this time. He collapsed while doing volunteer work in Mongolia and couldn’t get treatment in time.”
“That must have been hard.”
“I did wander a bit because of that. He asked me to go volunteer with him, but I refused because I didn’t want to.”
In late regret, In Woo’s forehead contorted with sorrow. He gazed at Eun Soo’s mother lying in the hospital bed for a moment and then let out a quiet sigh.
“Eun Soo, you must have had a hard time too.”
“Compared to what mom did to me, it’s nothing, brother. You know that.”
“Our Eun Soo has grown up. You even know how to say such things. I thought you’d only be stubborn all your life.”
In Woo tried to habitually stroke Eun Soo’s hair with his hand, but then his eyes met with Hyuk Joo’s.
Hyuk Joo’s eyes, his face contorted, were hardened black.
At that moment, Hwang In Woo realized he had momentarily forgotten the fact that Eun Soo was married.
He had heard in advance through Professor Kim Won Jin who the patient he would be in charge of for a month was.
He had been told it was one of the patients to be most careful of in the hospital, a medical institution affiliated with the Myungjin Group. So, Professor Kim Won Jin emphasized it to In Woo several times.
The patient was the motherinlaw of Moon Hyuk Joo, the successor of the group, and his wife was often visiting the patient’s room, so he was told to visit the patient every day without fail.
On the day he first saw the patient, In Woo was surprised.
It was Eun Soo’s mother.
Also, she was someone he had called aunt and followed around when he was young.
If she was the motherinlaw of Vice President Moon Hyuk Joo, that meant Eun Soo was his wife.
So our Eun Soo got married.
For a while, In Woo felt bitter.
He had been living with the thought that she must be living well somewhere, that there would be a day they would meet again.
He had no idea they would meet like this.
“I didn’t know Eun Soo’s husband was Vice President Moon Hyuk Joo.”
“It seems you two were close.”
Hyuk Joo’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
Eun Soo cautiously introduced In Woo to Hyuk Joo.
As the fact that she was ill was a secret, instead of saying In Woo was the son of her attending physician, Eun Soo vaguely informed Hyuk Joo of In Woo’s existence.
“He’s a brother I knew when I was young.”
“Hello, I’m Hwang In Woo.”
In Woo extended his hand first to greet him. Hyuk Joo stared at him for a moment before taking his hand.
“I’m Moon Hyuk Joo.”
“I’ll do my best to take care of you from now on.”
“You should, of course.”
The hands separated, and a quiet silence lingered between the two men.
Watching the two men quietly, Eun Soo offered In Woo a promising greeting.
“Let’s eat together sometime.”
“Okay.”
“Please take good care of my mother.”
“Of course, I should.”
In Woo checked a few of the values indicated by the machines connected to Eun Soo’s mother’s body.
Looking at Eun Soo, whose face showed tension, he spoke with a smile.
“She’s okay.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Will you come to the hospital tomorrow?”
“Of course.”
“Then see you tomorrow.”
“Yes, see you tomorrow.”
Eun Soo said goodbye to In Woo. It was the moment when In Woo, who had nodded briefly, was about to leave the room.
“Mr. Hwang In Woo.”
Hyuk Joo, who had been standing still, called In Woo.
Seeing the stiff face of Hyuk Joo, Eun Soo worried whether he might feel uncomfortable.
