It took a half hour for Ji-won to reach Sewon hospital from the hotel. He dashed through the front door as soon as he arrived, stopping at the front desk to ask about Su-Jin's condition.
From what the nurse in charge told him, she was still unconscious.
At the moment, Su-Jin's situation didn't seem too dangerous. But, since she hit her head during the fall, they had to wait until she woke up in order to correctly assess her condition. At worst, she might end up having a mild concussion.
Therefore, after the preliminary check up, Su-Jin had been moved to a normal room. A doctor was going to check on her as soon as she regained consciousness.
Hearing this information, Ji-Won let out a deep sigh of relief. He rubbed his face with both hands, pressing his palms against his cheeks for a moment so they would stop trembling.
After learning the number of Su-Jin's hospital room, Ji-Won thanked the nurse and prepared to leave. The woman, however, quickly stopped him.
"Are you her family, sir?" the nurse asked, eyeing him curiously.
"I..." Ji-Won hesitated a second, before finally answering truthfully. "No, I'm Miss Park's boss."
'It is best to be honest about these things. Besides, it's not like I can say we have any other kind of relationship apart from employer and employee.' He thought regretfully.
"I see." the nurse said, looking quite troubled. "Then, sir, can you please call someone from her family? There are some documents they need to fill in and sign."
The nurse's voice brought Ji-Won back to the conversation.
"I'll try." He quickly replied to the nurse.
The woman nodded in response and, with a small bow, she left for Su-Jin's room to make sure everything was alright before the doctor arrived.
Left alone in the corridor, thinking about Su-Jin's family, Ji-Won felt stumped.
Surely, this information must have been mentioned in her resume, as well as in other work documents. But, Ji-Won couldn't remember reading any one of those.
In truth, this negligence was all on him. Who told him to be so biased against Su-Jin, as to not even go through her resume properly?
'Aah, I am a failure as a boss. I truly am an idiot.' Ji-Won groaned internally.
As he walked along the hospital corridors, heading towards Su-Jin's room, he continued to grumble silently.
'What should I do then? Should I call the Human Resources department and ask them for details? They must have this information stored in her file.'
Indeed, Ji-Won came up with a great plan, which under normal circumstances might have worked. But, at that moment, there was a huge problem standing in front of this terrific idea.
There was currently an ongoing Sports Day event, in which every department in Kanji Tourism was required to take part. And to top it all off, it was also a Sunday.
Ji-Won felt more and more disgruntled with each passing second.
Just when he was about to slap himself mentally, Ji-Won's thoughts unexpectedly turned to Min-Jun.
'As far as I know, he's the closest person she has to a family. Either way, he is her boyfriend, so he might know more. Perhaps he could tell me whom else to call.' Ji-Won grasped onto this thought with hope.
While he pondered silently like that, his stomach did a strange flip, but Ji-Won chose to ignore it. Considering the situation, he had to use whatever means he had at his disposal. After all, a solution was still a solution, even if he wasn't happy with it.
After taking several deep breaths, Ji-Won finally calmed down. Then, rummaging inside one of his jacket pockets, he pulled out Su-Jin's phone.
At that moment, Ji-Won congratulated himself for his extraordinary foresight.
Back at the campsite, right before the paramedics took Su-Jin in the ambulance, Ji-Won had taken her phone. That had really been an inspired decision, since the object now turned out to be quite useful.
Ji-Won's steps faltered and he ultimately stopped in the middle of the corridor. For a while, he just stood there with Su-Jin's phone clutched in one hand. He kept pressing the button on the side of the phone, causing the picture of Su-Jin and Min-Jun to flash briefly before his eyes, before vanishing again.
After several moments, Ji-Won ultimately steeled himself and swiped the screen.
The screensaver flickered and the phone was instantly unlocked. It really was lucky that Su-Jin was such a simple person, not having put any kind of password or code to lock her phone.
Thinking about this, Ji-Won subconsciously breathed out in relief. Then, he began searching for Min-Jun's number.
Ji-Won didn't have to scroll for too long. He already knew how the young man was saved in Su-Jin's phone, so he reached the contact quite easily.
Once he found 'My Little Man' in Su-Jin's contacts, Ji-Won sucked in a sharp breath and pressed the call button.
Ji-Won was the first to greet the moment the call connected.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Who is this?" Min-Jun's low voice traveled from the other end.
"This is Director Kang, Miss Park Su-Jin's boss. I have something to tell you regarding Miss Park."
Reaching up to here, Ji-Won stopped. Silence ensued as Min-Jun waited for Ji-Won to continue speaking.
Ji-Won, on the other hand, dreaded the words he had to say next, but there was no running away from it. Since it happened in his presence, and also because he was Su-Jin's boss, it was his responsibility to deal with this matter.
Taking another deep breath, Ji-Won finally told Min-Jun what happened.
"Miss Park suffered an accident during the last event of our Sports Day. While walking through the forest she fell down a slope and hit her head. We're currently at Sewon hospital."
"How is she?"
"Still unconscious, but the nurse said it might not be too dangerous. Probably a concussion at most."
There was a short pause, in which Ji-Won could hear the young man taking a deep breath.
A moment later, Min-Jun finally replied. His voice sounded anxious, yet firm.
"I will be right there."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
