That day, Jinwook heard the news that Hongseok had been hospitalized and was on his way to the hospital.
At that time, Jinwook had just finished his overseas studies and had recently joined the company, leading to a busy period of hectic days.
Even on that day, Jinwook had been at the company until late, and upon hearing the news about Hongseok from Eran, he was heading to the hospital.
Jinwook looked out the window. The sky was dark, and thick raindrops were pouring down.
Drip, drip. Raindrops formed on the car window, gradually revealing the appearance of the hospital facade beyond.
“We’ve arrived.”
The car stopped in front of the hospital entrance, and the driver, holding an umbrella, stepped out first. Then he went to the back seat where Jinwook was, opening the car door.
Jinwook, buttoning his suit jacket, stepped out. Despite using an umbrella, the raindrops were so heavy that they accumulated on his shoes with each step forward. That’s when it happened.
“Please, save my mom.”
A woman’s sobbing voice echoed from somewhere.
Jinwook looked towards the source of the sound. In the rain stood a high school girl in a school uniform. Someone was standing in front of her, holding an umbrella, making their face invisible.
“I’ll do anything. Please don’t give up.”
“It’s been a year already. We’ve done everything we can.”
“I’ll pay back the money later. Please.”
The high school girl pleaded, kneeling down. However, the other person didn’t look at her and got into the car.
The sorrowful sobbing scattered in the rain reached Jinwook’s ears.
Briefly caught his attention, but that was it.
There was no reason to pay attention to a girl he had just seen for the first time, and he had no leisure for it.
Jinwook turned his gaze back to the front and walked briskly into the hospital.
⭐⭐⭐
Jinwook went up to the 7th floor where the VIP ward was.
It was easy to find Hongseok’s hospital room. All he had to do was head towards the room surrounded by bodyguards.
The bodyguards who knew Jinwook’s face opened the way for him. Jinwook knocked on the door of the hospital room and entered.
Inside the room, he saw Hongseok lying down, Eran and Inhyuk making uncomfortable expressions beside him.
Not to mention his aunt and uncle, but even cousins had gathered.
How did they all arrive so quickly? At times like this, Jinwook found their swift actions remarkable and amusing.
“Jinwook is here.”
After bowing to greet Hongseok, Jinwook spoke.
“I’m sorry for being late. How are you feeling?”
“It’s nothing serious. I just felt a bit dizzy. But everyone is making a fuss as if it’s a big deal.”
There was no big deal at all. Around Hongseok, there were people putting on a show just to be seen by him. Of course, Jinwook was also one of them.
Hongseok raised his upper body and said, “I’m fine now. Let’s go out. Staying here only adds to the number of saline injections. There’s a mountain of things to do.”
Upon hearing that, Jinwook immediately tried to dissuade him.
“Until accurate results come out, it would be right for you to stay in the hospital.”
“……. ”
“There’s nothing more important than your health. Leave the work to my father and us; first, take care of your health.”
Hongseok pondered over the serious words and responded, “Fine. Then I’ll stay until tomorrow, and if nothing unusual happens, I’ll leave. By the way, what is Inhyuk’s dad doing? No contact at all?”
Hongseok searched for Jinwook’s father, Daehyun, who was the only one not visible in the family gathering. At that moment, Eran’s complexion darkened slightly.
Eran spoke to Hongseok with a forced casual tone, “He seems busy. His phone was off.”
Jinwook’s aunt, who was standing nearby, interjected, “Who turns off their phone and is busy at this hour?”
Jinwook’s aunt, who pitied Inhyuk for having separated from his birth mother in his early years and harbored resentment towards Eran, spoke sarcastically.
“I heard he doesn’t even have a phone at the company, and he’s probably not in a hotel room either.”
At those words, Hongseok looked at her with a deep expression. Seeing the gaze filled with intensity, she retorted with pursed lips.
“Why? Father. I didn’t make up something that wasn’t true, and everyone already knows it. Well.”
Her words were not wrong. Jinwook’s father had been entangled in female issues for more than a day or two, and it was a well-known fact among the family.
She glanced at Eran and added, “There’s nothing to blame Daehyun for. With such a messed-up marriage, no wonder he keeps going out.”
At that moment, as if unable to tolerate it any longer, Hongseok raised his voice.
“Youngjoo, you! Do you have to keep going until I really collapse?!”
“……Ah, okay. I’m sorry.”
“In a situation where even brothers can’t get along. How can you keep finding fault with each other every time you meet… Tsk.”
Hongseok clicked his tongue with a dissatisfied expression.
Jinwook, who seemed accustomed to this situation, had no particular expression. He had seen the family tearing each other apart when they gathered since he was a child.

really disliked him
