“What’s your intention in asking?”
“What did you say?”
“Look here, Hwang In Woo.”
“Yes.”
“I have no problem with you acting casually because you were a close brother to Eun Soo when she was young, as long as you keep your boundaries.”
“Did you say boundaries?”
You’re funny.
In Woo spat out a word mixed with irritation.
His hand, running through his hair, was quite rough.
“Moon Hyuk Joo said so earlier, didn’t he? Eun Soo knows and understands.”
“Yes, he did.”
“You’d have ended things with an apology, asking for understanding, expecting a pardon. You’d believe it’s not a big deal, not worth making a fuss over.”
In Woo was drawing a rough breath as he poured out his words quickly. Then, he tossed an empty can he had finished into the trash bin next to the vending machine. The empty can clattered loudly as it fell into the bin.
The sharp noise caused Hyuk Joo’s eyebrows to furrow thinly.
In Woo’s eyes, looking at him, trembled large. His eyes, reddened as if the capillaries were about to burst, were filled with rage.
“Moon Hyuk Joo.”
Between In Woo’s lips, a faint curse was mixed. Hyuk Joo stared silently at In Woo’s face, filled with anger towards him.
In Woo let out a deep sigh and spoke.
“The matter you ended with a few words… for Eun Soo…”
“……”
“Have you ever thought that it turned into a pain she has to bear with her whole body?”
A strange expression began to cross Hyuk Joo’s face, which had shown no emotion.
At that moment, Hyuk Joo felt that he was missing something important.
It felt like he had been struck by lightning that pierced through his entire body in an instant.
Eun Soo went into Hyuk Joo’s study.
She sat in her chair placed next to his desk.
As she turned on the audio, familiar music began to flow.
It was a piano piece that Hyuk Joo sometimes listened to with his eyes closed. And it was also a piece of music she had heard a few times when she was young.
The name of the piece was ‘Comfort.’
Eun Soo recalled the memories from the past.
A certain old lady patient, who was in patient clothes like her and had an IV line on her arm, used to listen to this song frequently.
“When someone is having a hard time, the biggest comfort is to embrace them without saying a word.”
Eun Soo could not understand the words that the old lady had given her.
She was taught to ask if it was okay when it was tough and to tell them to cheer up. But to just embrace without saying anything, Eun Soo found that method cruel.
However, Eun Soo realized not long after that embracing was the biggest comfort.
It was one day when she had been vomiting continuously while receiving cancer treatment and had barely fallen asleep. The treatment was effective, but the chemotherapy had made her body in the worst condition.
Exhausted, Eun Soo fell asleep, but she was awakened by her mother’s sobbing voice. However, Eun Soo could not open her eyes.
“I scolded and persuaded a child who cried saying she didn’t want to get the treatment, saying she has to get it to live. To a child begging only to not get that while vomiting and crying… I don’t know if this is right anymore.”
Eun Soo could guess that the person her mother was talking to with a whimpering voice was Aunt Yu Seon. Her mother, who always smiled in front of her, occasionally called Yu Seon and sobbed like that.
“When I was pregnant with Eun Soo, I thought it was a cold and asked the doctor to give me strong, potent cold medicine, and I took it. I think it’s because I took that medicine that Eun Soo is sick. If I hadn’t been so foolish and didn’t take the cold medicine…”
Her mother blamed herself for Eun Soo being sick because she took cold medicine.
Afraid that Eun Soo might hear, her mother made a groaning sound as she struggled to hold back her tears. Not knowing what to do for her grieving mother, Eun Soo kept her eyes tightly closed.
Finally, her mother, calmed down, as always, went into the bathroom to wash her face.
After that day, Eun Soo did not throw a tantrum refusing to receive chemotherapy.
Because it wasn’t her mother’s fault that she was sick.
Instead, she quietly hugged her mother.
Just as she had hugged her mother, Eun Soo wrapped her two hands around her stomach.
Just placing her hand on her stomach made her feel at ease.
Listening to the slow and gentle melody of the piano, Eun Soo reclined as far back as she could in the chair.
She later found out what this song was. They said it was a song composed by a composer wishing for his sick lover to get better.
It was just a guess.
A song composed in the hope that a sick lover would get better.
Eun Soo felt a lump in her throat.
“You really……”
Moon Hyuk Joo had been a man with only Seo Yeonji from beginning to end.
As if to not even desire his heart, he had included Seo Yeonji in even this trivial piece of music.
But ironically, Eun Soo found comfort in the performance that Hyuk Joo was listening to for his lover, not her.
The soft and gentle piano performance seemed to embrace her and comfort her, saying that everything will be okay, that everything will get better.
Her eyelids grew hot.
Almost shedding tears in such a situation was startling.
She couldn’t do that now.
“What should I do?”
Eun Soo bit her lip slightly as she looked down at her hands wrapped around her stomach.
From now on, she had to focus only on the baby, setting aside other thoughts.
Because it was the most precious existence to her.
“They said it’s good to listen to a lot of classical music, but listening to it… makes me sleepy.”
She remembered hearing that the sleepiness pouring in at all hours was a natural phenomenon occurring in early pregnancy.
Unable to overcome the drowsy and sapped feeling, Eun Soo fell asleep just like that.
How much time had passed?
At the sound of the curtain being drawn, Eun Soo tried to slowly lift her eyelids. But due to her still drowsy consciousness, her eyes didn’t open completely.
Judging by the sunlight seen on the floor of the study, it seemed to be still afternoon.
It looked like one of the employees was cleaning, saw her asleep, and came in to draw the curtains.
Feeling the comforting touch of the blanket covering her body, Eun Soo closed her eyes again.
With the curtains all drawn, the study was shrouded in a faint darkness, as if early evening.
“Director Song.”
It was Hyuk Joo’s voice.
Caught off guard by his unexpected appearance, Eun Soo was surprised and quietly swallowed her breath.
“Find a good psychiatrist. It seems Eun Soo is having a hard time lately.”
Eun Soo felt a complicated emotion, which she couldn’t explain, wriggling inside her.
He was trying to solve a few of her recent changes in behavior in his own way.
Tears welled up in her eyes due to the harsh feelings and slowly ran down her cheeks.
