A bell rang in the midst of the evening, waking him from a great evening’s sleep. His spouse, who was sleeping subsequent to him, tapped the person’s leg, telling him to reply the telephone rapidly.

‘What’s occurring?’ The lawyer fumbled, in search of his glasses and his cellphone.

“Hiya.”

In contrast to his sleepy voice, the voice coming from the opposite facet of the telephone was very vivid.

“What? Hospital?”

‘Impulsively? How am I supposed to just accept the orders from my boss who calls me in the midst of the evening, telling me to go to the hospital?’

“Affected person? Is it one thing harmful?”

Seeing how critical Tae-jun was, it didn’t appear to be a small drawback. He felt like he was all of a sudden absolutely awake.

‘What?! Was there a shootout?’

It wasn’t typically however a number of the issues they did had been fairly harmful. Nonetheless, what his boss advised him was one thing utterly totally different from what he had anticipated. To start with, the affected person was a tenant of the condo he just lately bought, and that particular person appeared to be struggling a concussion from a fall. ‘Why the hell is he caring about all this?’

He went to the hospital early within the morning with a thoughts filled with doubts. And as a lawyer who’s been renewing his billions of greenback wage yearly, he dealt with the work completely. He met the girl within the hospital room, defined the scenario, paid the hospital payments, and meticulously checked her situation. He, in fact, didn’t neglect to make a report back to his boss.

“{The electrical} wiring is outdated, that appears to be the issue. I used to be electrocuted whereas attempting to have a look at the switchboard.”

“Obtained it, Sir. However could I ask you one factor?”

The lawyer licked his dry lips. He opened his mouth as he couldn’t maintain again his curiosity.

“What’s the connection between you and Miss Yuri Han within the hospital…?”

Within the momentary silence, his reply echoed like a wave.

Having stated that aloud, he realized, as soon as once more, what she meant to him.

Tae-jun stood nonetheless by the window and seemed on the evening view past the lodge window. Nowadays, he stored dropping his sense of time. When he would discover an hour had handed, it was already the following day. When he realized three days had handed by, it will be over every week. He knew that one thing was damaged inside him that made everybody round him test his situation, however he didn’t attempt to repair it. There was just one thought floating in his thoughts albeit very painfully.

Tae-jun closed his eyes and traced Yuri’s face he noticed within the hospital room. There was just one thought that got here to his thoughts as he checked out her face. In contrast to now, if one thing occurred to her exterior his attain, he in all probability wouldn’t have the ability to stay on. He thought that the rationale he lived and breathed now was that this girl was residing effectively.

Unbelievably, the sensation of holding Yuri nonetheless remained throughout his physique. Her contact, her scent, her heat… A deep thirst remained as if he’s ingesting salt water in the midst of the ocean. Maybe, now he was slowly drying up and dying.

He requested urgently, “Is it a significant issue?”.

“No, let’s do it now. I’ll head over to your house. The place are you?”
