Eun Soo turned her head and smiled at In Woo. Then he whispered in a soft voice.
“I’m glad it seems cool. I’m just going for training to appear impressive.”
“What are you talking about?”
“It’s true. You don’t know how popular I am in the hospital, do you?”
“Do you mean how much the nurses love you?”
“Oh, they all want to take me as their soninlaw.”
In Woo straightened his shoulders and held his head high. At his arrogant posture, tilting his chin as if trying to look proud, Eun Soo burst into genuine laughter.
She tried to cover her mouth with her hand to stifle her laughter, but once it had started, it was not easily suppressed.
Suddenly, she felt an odd sensation and lifted her head.
“……”
Eun Soo, seeing a grey silhouette standing still between the falling raindrops, swallowed dryly.
She was at a distance where she couldn’t clearly distinguish the face, but Eun Soo knew immediately who it was.
It was her husband.
He was wearing the grey coat she herself had draped over his shoulders that morning.
Not just because of his clothes, but Eun Soo could instantly tell that the person standing in front of the hospital back door and looking this way was Hyuk Joo.
Even if he had been standing with his back turned, Eun Soo would have recognized Moon Hyuk Joo.
As the distance between them gradually lessened, In Woo also noticed Hyuk Joo’s presence.
“Hello.”
“……Yes.”
At In Woo’s greeting, Hyuk Joo’s forehead slightly furrowed.
Eun Soo stepped out from under the umbrella and walked towards Hyuk Joo.
“Are you leaving now?”
“No.”
“……”
“I thought you came to the hospital without an umbrella.”
Eun Soo looked at the umbrella held in Hyuk Joo’s hand.
The blackgloved hand holding the umbrella was tightly clenched.
“Eun Soo, you were worried, so you waited.”
At In Woo’s nonchalant comment, Eun Soo gave a dry laugh. She took off the padded jacket she was wearing and handed it to In Woo.
“Thank you.”
“For what. See you tomorrow.”
“Yes.”
“I’ll go in first then.”
In Woo said his goodbyes to Hyuk Joo and went into the hospital building.
Hyuk Joo stared intently at In Woo’s back as he walked through the lobby on the first floor. His gaze was as intense as a detective scrutinizing a suspect, harboring a tangible intensity.
When In Woo, who had turned a corner, disappeared from his sight, Hyuk Joo looked at Eun Soo.
Dressed in a tracksuit, she crossed her arms as if she was cold.
Hyuk Joo put the umbrella he was holding on the ground, took off his coat, and draped it over Eun Soo’s shoulders.
“I’m fine.”
“Let’s go in.”
At Eun Soo’s words, trying to take off the coat, Hyuk Joo responded indifferently and went into the building first.
Eun Soo followed him.
For a moment, Hyuk Joo turned his head and briefly looked at Eun Soo’s face before hastening his steps.
It seemed as if he was checking whether Eun Soo was following properly.
Seeing Hyuk Joo’s face in that brief encounter, Eun Soo finally realized.
That he was different from usual.
The hair that was always neatly combed was slightly fallen forward.
In addition to that, his eyes were slightly bloodshot.
His red eyes might have been from fatigue due to continuous work. However, the disheveled appearance of her husband felt unfamiliar to Eun Soo.
Moon Hyuk Joo was particularly neat when he was outside. He was the kind of person who always kept the knot of his tie in the middle of his chin, as if he was worried that even a slightly twisted tie might be seen as a weakness by others.
But now, the tie that should have been around his neck was nowhere to be seen.
That’s how far Moon Hyuk Joo was from the image Eun Soo knew of him.
Eun Soo was about to ask what happened but bit her lips tightly.
Her best way of considering him was to maintain silence.
Hyuk Joo looked at Eun Soo standing silently next to him without a word.
Her face, reflected in the elevator wall, was as always, expressionless.
The image of her covering her mouth with her hand and bursting into a bright smile had evaporated like a mirage, leaving only an empty shell beside him.
Around the time when he was about to leave work, a call came from his aunt.
Eun Soo was spending another night at the hospital.
Despite having arranged for three skilled nurses to take care of the inlaws around the clock, his aunt couldn’t understand why Eun Soo insisted on sleeping at the hospital once or twice a week.
Listening to his aunt’s agitated voice, Hyuk Joo pressed his eyeballs with his hand.
He sometimes got confused about what Eun Soo meant to his aunt.
His aunt sometimes spoke of Eun Soo as an angel who saved him when his marriage was put on hold because of Seo Yeon Ji, and sometimes, as today, she spoke of her as an unsatisfactory nieceinlaw.
“I told her to do that.”
Amid the continued rant, Hyuk Joo explained that Eun Soo was just following his instructions.
He was about to retort that worrying about a sick mother was a natural feeling for a child, but he swallowed those words in the end.
“Your mother asked for it.”
“Did you think it would be easier for me to lie to you that she’s getting better while she’s dying?”
If his aunt started saying that again, blaming him for not telling the truth about his mother’s condition, there would be no end to it.
After ending the call with his aunt, Hyuk Joo rushed to the hospital where Eun Soo was.
He was worried that his aunt, who was sometimes impulsively uncontrollable, might have called Eun Soo and said something inappropriate.
But Eun Soo was not in the ward.
Only her coat, wet in places, hung on the clothes hanger.
Upon hearing Eun Soo’s words about having dinner with someone, Hyuk Joo instantly guessed who that person might be.
Hwang In Woo.
He was someone Eun Soo knew from her childhood.
Since they knew each other, they could have dinner together.
Yes. That’s right, it was possible, it was acceptable…
After hanging up the phone with Eun Soo, Hyuk Joo loosened the tie that had been choking his neck. Then he grabbed his umbrella and ran out of the ward without thinking.
He didn’t have the patience to wait for the slowmoving elevator and ran down the emergency stairs instead.
Standing at the back door, Hyuk Joo saw Eun Soo and Hwang In Woo walking side by side under the same umbrella.
Eun Soo was smiling again.
In a way he had never seen before.
At that moment, like a person suffering from fever, Hyuk Joo felt his body heat up in an instant.
