Even after Seol Yuhwa left, Ji Seunghyun didn’t leave immediately and stayed to keep me company. Since Sung Jichan had already been discharged, I would have been alone in the room, so I gratefully accepted Ji Seunghyun’s kindness.

We chatted about various topics for a while.

During our conversation, I suddenly became worried.

‘Come to think of it, what about Ji Seunghyun?’

I realized that I wasn’t only worried about Seol Yubin at this moment. In this world, the most certain bad ending was for the sub character right in front of me.

‘What was the illness in the original work?’

It didn’t come up… All I heard was that Ji Seunghyun died as a terminally ill patient.

‘Well, then there’s nothing to be done.’

I nodded confidently at Ji Seunghyun. When our eyes met, Ji Seunghyun smiled awkwardly as if making an ambiguous smile.

‘Okay, then. Since we’re here at the hospital, let’s have a health check-up!’

Having made up my mind, I said to Ji Seunghyun, “You know, aren’t you considering getting a health check-up?”

Naturally, Ji Seunghyun was taken aback.

“Huh? That topic again?”
“Health check-up. Since we’re at the hospital, how about trying it once?”

“No, if you suddenly suggest that…”

“Don’t say that. It will undoubtedly be helpful for you.”

And I blindly pushed Ji Seunghyun into the examination room. How could I suddenly get a health check-up? I’m applying some Seonwoo Jin-level plot armor here.

And the results are.

“Heart cancer.”

What?

I doubted my ears.

“Fortunately, it was discovered early. It’s not too late yet.”

No, is there cancer in the heart too?

‘It’s bewildering.’

Now that I think about it, I’ve read such a ridiculous plot. A novel where the male lead suddenly gives his heart to the female lead diagnosed with heart cancer and goes to heaven.

‘…Then who gives Seunghyun, the sub character, a heart?’

And is it even possible to cut out a living person’s heart for transplantation? Isn’t that murder?

No, in the first place, is giving a heart the solution to the disease?

It was undoubtedly a serious situation, but the development was so abrupt that my head couldn’t keep up.

‘And is it right for such a diagnosis result to come out in a day?’

In front of me, confused, the system suddenly appeared.

Really unbelievable.

Is Inso omnipotent?

…If I examine it, the only conclusion that comes out is that Inso is omnipotent.

In reality, during this time, there was nothing impossible in Inso. It’s just that if the author wants to save someone, they save them, and if they want to kill someone, they kill them. Incurable diseases are roughly solved by going to the US for surgery. Otherwise, if the sub character is a time bomb, just let them give one of their organs.

‘Anyway, since it was discovered early, is it a happy ending?’

Glancing at Seunghyun, he also had an extremely bewildered expression. It was understandable.

“Um… So what should I do now?”

…And so, Seunghyun was promptly hospitalized.

…It’s bewildering. Such a development.

Having come for a get-well visit, Seunghyun ended up becoming a patient, completely losing his mind. I comforted Seunghyun, who was in such a state.

A few days later.

Before the final discharge, I met Seunghyun. I was in a school uniform, and Seunghyun was in a patient gown.

“Haha. Now our positions have reversed.”

Seunghyun laughed as if it was amusing. Even after the abrupt situation, he seemed to have regained composure in a few days.

I couldn’t find words and kept my mouth shut for a moment before saying, “I didn’t know it would turn out like this.”

“Hahaha.”

Seeing Seunghyun laughing refreshingly, my mood became strange.

‘How should I react to this?’
Now that I’ve changed the fate of the time-limited sub character, it’s fortunate, but since Ji Seunghyun’s illness is not ordinary, I felt a bit uneasy about just being happy about it.

In my perplexity, Ji Seunghyun said to me, “Joo Eun-ah, thank you so much.”

“No… I haven’t done anything…”

“What are you talking about? If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have known about the illness.”

That’s true. If it follows the original, Ji Seunghyun would have died in about a year and a half.

Just dying like that? No, I’m going to donate everything, including the cornea, to Seol Yuhwa.

Now they say that if surgery is done early, it can get better, so for now, it’s a relief.

I gave up thinking about whether this is a truly curable disease. Let’s just trust the doctor. There’s nothing impossible here.

Trying to seriously contemplate modern medicine in this chaotic world will only give me a headache.

I said to Ji Seunghyun, comforting him, “Get well soon.”

“Yeah.”

Ji Seunghyun smiled gently as always.

“I’ll come to see you again later.”

“Yeah, sure.”

After saying goodbye to Ji Seunghyun like that, I called a taxi to go home.

‘Anyway, is this the end of hospital life?’

As I came out of the building, just before getting into the taxi, I looked back at the hospital.

In the end, I really didn’t pay a penny for the hospital bill. Seonwoo Jin managed it somehow, but I don’t know the specifics because he didn’t tell me. It seemed like he deliberately didn’t say.

‘Maybe that’s also a kind of consideration.’

The last face I saw, Seonwoo Jin’s face, came to my mind. Even the strange atmosphere of that night.

‘I don’t know. Let’s not think about it anymore.’

I made an effort to push Seonwoo Jin out of my mind and headed home.
