The next morning Ji-Won went to work as usual.
Throughout the day, though, his mind had been otherwise engaged, making it difficult for him to focus on his job.
He kept thinking about Su-Jin and her condition.
Also, thoughts about Min-Jun and the new information about their relationship made Ji-Won's mind waver.
Despite having accepted the truth now, he was still baffled by his own stupidity.
What was he really feeling about the situation, though?
Even after thinking about it for the entire night, he was still unable to find an answer to this question.
Before he left the hospital a night before, Min-Jun had given him his number, with the promise of sending a message the moment Su-Jin woke up.
That made Ji-Won even more restless. He kept checking his phone once every other minute.
In the end, his friend's agitation upset Seo-Jun to such a degree that he eventually hid the phone in a drawer, only to be harshly reprimanded by a very angry Ji-Won.
"Why would you do such a childish thing like that?!" Ji-Won blew his top at Seo-Jun.
"Because you aren't doing your work properly." Seo-Jun snapped, throwing two thick files on top of Ji-Won's desk. "Your mind is in a daze and you already made two mistakes in a report. Are you really planning on giving the financial department those numbers? I'm telling you, if you submit these two reports, they will think you are possessed by a dumb ghost."
Listening to his friend's tirade almost gave Ji-Won a headache.
"Alright, alright, no need to get so riled up." he groaned. "I'll check everything again and make sure there aren't any mistakes on the final drafts."
"Good. And make sure you work properly." Seo-Jun huffed in affectation.
As a response, Ji-Won shot a death glare at Seo-Jun. Seeing this, the latter instantly understood to shut his mouth.
~~~
It was three in the afternoon when Ji-Won's phone finally rang.
The message said that Su-Jin was awake and that she was feeling alright. She suffered a very mild concussion and a sprained ankle, but she'd be fine after a while. Visitors were allowed with the condition of not staying for too long.
That afternoon, Ji-Won, together with Seo-Jun and Yeon-Ah, went to visit Su-Jin at the hospital.
The moment he reached the door to Su-Jin's hospital room, Ji-Won stopped.
All of a sudden he felt unsure of whether he really wanted to enter or not. These nerves were mainly caused by that conversation he had with Su-Jin's brother the previous evening.
Seeing him hesitate, Seo-Jun slid the door open and forcefully pushed his friend inside.
Ji-Won stumbled on his feet, instantly attracting the attention of the two people who were inside the room.
Su-Jin was sitting up with her back leaned against the headboard, while Min-Jun was perched on one side of the bed, leaning casually towards his sister.
The moment they heard noises at the door, they both turned their heads around. Their eyes landed on Ji-Won at the same time, staring at him in surprise.
The man looked flustered and, at first glance, he appeared to want to be anywhere else but there.
Right behind Ji-Won came Seo-Jun, who was wearing his trademark smile and exhibited a most cheerful appearance.
To the left of the group was Yeon-Ah, who flung herself at Su-Jin the moment she saw her. She immediately began speaking breathlessly, while hugging her friend tightly.
"Su-Jin! Gosh, I have been so worried. When Deputy Director Kim came and told me that you were hurt and had to be taken to the hospital, I thought my heart would stop beating."
After stopping to take a breath of air, Yeon-Ah leaned back slightly, taking in Su-Jin's appearance.
From what she could see, Su-Jin looked tired, but otherwise seemed uninjured. Or at least there was nothing major showing on either her body or face. There was a small cut below her left eye, probably from a twig or a rock, and she had several thin scratches on her hands.
In short, there was nothing that should require prolonged hospitalization.
Following this assessment, Yeon-Ah allowed herself to breathe out a sigh of relief. Releasing her friend, the young woman continued to stare Su-Jin down in a very 'big sisterly' way.
"What happened?"
"Well, that is…"
Su-Jin began, then stopped in order to glance at Ji-Won.
However, the man stubbornly avoided her eyes, acting as though he couldn't hear or see anything.
Taking that as a cue to answer the question herself, Su-Jin began to relate what happened during the 'hunting' event.
"It really was a silly accident. I saw a black ribbon caught in a bush and I wanted to grab it. Unfortunately, it was too out of reach. When I leaned over the slope, my feet slipped on some rocks and… well you know the rest. Director Kang helped me and now here I am." Su-Jin finished sheepishly, scratching the back of her head.
A second later, she let out a soft wince. The back of her head was still tender from the hit and touching it just now felt really painful.
At this display, everyone inside the room gasped, looking worriedly at the patient.
Even Ji-Won forgot to appear aloof and, instead, approached Su-Jin's bed in two strides.
"Are you alright?" he asked with trepidation.
All this while, he purposefully ignored Min-Jun's intense stares.
The young man continued to remain perched on one side of the bed, while Yeon-Ah had taken the other side. They were both watching Ji-Won standing, looming down over Su-Jin like a big shadow.
The only other man inside the room kept himself slightly apart from the scene, thinking that it looked both funny and strange. He felt the urge to laugh out loud, but feared that, if he did so, Ji-Won might fly into a rage from embarrassment.
Before Su-Jin was able to answer Ji-Won's question, the door slid open and the doctor walked in.
"Ah, Miss Park, I see you have visitors.." he said with an affable smile.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
