Yeonju, gently stroking Seoyoon’s almost bloodless face, stopped the nurse who was about to take out the injection needle.
“Yes?”
“She might be pregnant; we shouldn’t use any medicine indiscriminately…”
“Intravenous fluids are fine. The blood test results will be out soon, so please wait here for a moment, guardian.”
“Yes.”
Yeonju’s shoulders, exhausted as they were, drooped lower. She also felt like lying on the emergency room bed for an intravenous drip.
The time they spent laughing and chatting felt like a distant dream.
“Uh, uh!”
A loud scream echoed in the noisy emergency room.
Only then did Yeonju peek outside the curtain.
“Excuse me, doctor.”
“Yes, what can I do for you?”
“Are there any injured people from the construction site in Jamwon-dong here? People have been coming in continuously since a little while ago.”
The nurse who connected the needle and IV bag to Seoyoon’s wrist responded.
“Can you find names like Tae, Taekanghyun, or Doseokwon among the ones brought in? They are acquaintances from the accident site, and we haven’t been able to contact them.”
“I’ll check with the station.”
“Yes, thank you.”
With a slight sense of relief, Yeonju bowed her head, and a doctor in a white gown approached with a chart in hand.
“Doctor, is our Seoyoon okay?”
“Yes, she doesn’t seem to have any particular issues. I can’t provide an accurate diagnosis, but in cases of vasovagal syncope, when under severe stress, temporary loss of consciousness can occur. I’ll contact the obstetrics and gynecology department, so when the patient wakes up, please go directly to the 4th floor.”
“Pregnant? Preg, pregnant?”
The doctor, pushing up glasses on the bridge of his nose, shook his head.
“You didn’t know yet? Based on the blood levels, it seems she is pregnant.”
“No problem for the baby, right?”
“We cannot discuss that here.”
This is crazy, really.
Yeonju buried her face in her hands and stomped her feet in frustration.
“Excuse me, quickly check the list…”
“Doctor! Patients from Jamwon-dong are coming in!”
Nervously pacing around, Yeonju, who didn’t know what to do, turned her head at someone’s shout.
Three mobile beds passed by in an instant, and Kanghyun, holding a suit jacket, entered the emergency room.
“Oh, thank goodness…”
“Uh, uh! Are you okay?”
A nurse, who had just finished the necessary treatment and was about to leave, supported Yeonju, who was about to collapse.
“Taekanghyun!”
Yeonju put strength into her trembling legs, raised her arm, and held it.
Kanghyun, who was brushing his disheveled hair with a familiar look, turned his head upon hearing Yeonju’s name.
“Jang Yeonju?”
Kanghyun’s eyes widened in recognition.
He couldn’t understand why Yeonju, who had said she was going to the department store with Seoyoon, was here.
Seoyoon had to be with Yeonju.
“Seoyoon is here.”
Kanghyun’s puzzled expression was easily understood by Yeonju, who whispered softly, pointing at the bed where Seoyoon lay.
Standing still, Kanghyun bounced forward.
“Seoyoon.”
Kanghyun, pushing aside the medical staff blocking his way, grabbed Yeonju’s shoulders and shook her.
Seeing Seoyoon lying motionless, Kanghyun’s dilated pupils narrowed with excitement.
“Why is Yun like this, why are you here!”
“I was so shocked when I heard about the accident… and I couldn’t contact you and Doseokwon!”
Fearful of leaving Seoyoon behind, tears welled up in Yeonju’s eyes.
Approaching Seoyoon’s side, Kanghyun grabbed the small hand resting on the blanket.
The accident had happened unexpectedly, and there had been no chance to contact Seoyoon.
Contrary to the media reports, there were no fatalities, but many workers were seriously injured.
“Taekanghyun, are you injured? Are you badly hurt?”
Yeonju shouted upon discovering blood sticking to Kanghyun’s torn shirt sleeves.
Having discussed the accident site with Seokwon near the point where materials were falling, Kanghyun and Seowon couldn’t completely avoid the accident.
“It’s nothing. Yun’s condition is…”
“She’s fine. But Taekanghyun.”
“Hurry, if there’s a problem, tell me quickly.”
Kanghyun’s eyes sharply narrowed as he turned to look at the hesitating Yeonju.
“Seoyoon is pregnant.”
“What?”
“She’s pregnant. When Seoyoon wakes up, take her to the obstetrics and gynecology department immediately.”
Beside trembling pupils hearing unexpected news, a vein throbbed next to them.
“What about Seokwon? Why isn’t Seokwon here?”
Kanghyun wiped his face as if doing a dry wash and let out a long sigh.
“He’s injured.”
“W-where! How badly is he injured?”
“His forehead is a bit torn. Since he came this way, he should be in the emergency room.”
Upon hearing the awaited news, Yeonju headed straight to the station.
In the noisy emergency room surrounded by curtains around the bed, Kanghyun, separated from the commotion, sank into a makeshift chair.
Kanghyun’s eyes, gazing silently at Seoyoon, gradually reddened.
He couldn’t believe Seoyoon was okay.
Feeling the pain as if her navel was being twisted, Seoyoon, lifting her eyelids, turned her gaze with fingertips radiating warmth.
“Oppa?”
“Yuna!”
Kanghyun, who had been pressing his forehead against the back of Seoyoon’s hand, lifted his head.
“Oppa…”
Seeing Seoyoon’s unharmed face, she quickly shed tears of relief.
“Why didn’t you answer the phone? I was so worried, thinking something happened to you, ugh… it was so scary…”
“Hush, don’t cry. Oppa was wrong. From now on, there won’t be anything like this.”
Seoyoon sobbed like a child with her eyes closed.
Rising immediately from his seat, Kanghyun covered the cheek stained with blush with a gentle touch.
“I’m sorry, Oppa. Uh? So, calm down. You shouldn’t cry like this, Yuna.”
“Ugh, huuh…”
Without a break, Kanghyun gently patted Seoyoon’s back near her shoulder, which was convulsing.
“Seoyoon, Han Seoyoon. You need to breathe properly. Slowly.”
Seoyoon, following Kanghyun, who demonstrated breathing in and out, took deep breaths.
“Can you get up?”
Struggling to stop crying, Seoyoon, supported by Kanghyun, managed to raise her upper body.
“Seoyoon.”
“Ung.”
“Don’t be surprised, come in.”
Handing a tissue to Seoyoon, who was sniffing, Kanghyun opened his mouth, hiding his embarrassment.
“Yun, there’s a baby in your belly.”
