Suppressing the curses that were about to come out, Kang-hyun, this time, called Chairman Cha, who was also his father. However, Chairman Cha did not answer the phone.
Kang-hyun’s stomach tightened.
With the fastest available ticket, Kang-hyun arrived in Korea and hurried to the hospital.
Yoo Hyun, who happened to be on a business trip abroad, also rushed to the hospital as soon as he arrived in Korea.
“Kang-hyun.”
Dazed, Kang-hyun just sat in front of the operating room.
“Is the surgery still ongoing?”
“Yes.”
Yoo Hyun’s heart, seeing Kang-hyun in such a dazed state, also crumbled. Seeing his brother like this was the first time since their mother passed away.
“I’m on my way after meeting Dr. Yoon. The doctor who took charge of the surgery is said to be skilled. So, you don’t have to worry too much.”
Yoo Hyun comforted Kang-hyun by patting his shoulder. When Kang-hyun called, Yoo Hyun was also preparing to return.
Several missed calls during Kang-hyun’s presumed absence came in, so Yoo Hyun thought something might be wrong and called. It turned out that Yoon had an accident, and Chairman Cha couldn’t be reached by phone.
Yoo Hyun urgently contacted Chairman Cha, and perhaps thinking it was related to company matters, Chairman Cha answered Yoo Hyun’s call.
‘Father, my sister-in-law is now…,’
‘Did you call me for such a trivial matter? I’m on an important business trip.’
Though he was furious, Chairman Cha contacted Yul Hospital. Yul Hospital received a large donation from Wusung Construction every year for pediatric cancer patients.
“I’m worried that the surgery is taking a long time.”
Kang-hyun washed his face. The Kang-hyun who had been composed all along crumbled when he saw his brother’s face.
“It’ll be okay.”
Yoo Hyun’s hand, holding Kang-hyun’s shoulder, exerted strength. Kang-hyun, who always seemed confident, looked shaky, and Yoo Hyun’s heart ached.
Suddenly, Yoo Hyun remembered the affectionate scene between the two when he visited Kang-hyun’s house last time.
Yoon, who initially seemed reserved, turned out to be a good person. Whether it influenced Kang-hyun or not, his sharp and edgy brother, who always set his own path, seemed to find stability and comfort little by little.
The gaze between the two was warm and unparalleled. It was a beautiful sight of two people in love.
Especially, seeing Kang-hyun happy made Yoo Hyun feel relieved even after returning home. But what kind of thunderbolt was this?
“Has no one from Congressman Seo’s house arrived yet?”
“No.”
Despite hearing the news of the accident, there was no contact from that house. Well, it was the same with Chairman Cha; there was no contact whatsoever.
‘To not even flinch when your own daughter’s life is hanging by a thread.’
Yoo Hyun clicked his tongue inwardly. Whether it was because it was a child from an extramarital affair or for whatever reason, how could one be so indifferent? His teeth chattered at the thought.
‘And here I am, in this situation, but Kang-hyun…’
Looking at Kang-hyun’s bewildered face, Yoo Hyun’s heart sank again.
“Your grandfather and grandmother on your stepmother’s side are also here?”
“They’re hospitalized.”
Ok-soon, with her low blood pressure, kept fainting repeatedly, and Hosik couldn’t sit properly due to the shock.
Still, she stubbornly resisted leaving the area in front of the operating room. Kang-hyun persuaded them, and with great difficulty, brought the two to the hospital room.
“Kang-hyun, you need to pull yourself together.”
Watching his brother, who seemed to collapse at any moment, Yoo Hyun swallowed tears. Kang-hyun, who had collapsed after their mother passed away, came to mind, and Yoo Hyun was afraid.
Contrary to the strong appearance he showed on the outside, Kang-hyun was fragile inside.
If something went wrong with Yoon this time, Yoo Hyun worried that Kang-hyun might not recover.
‘Please, Jeseussi (Aunt) must be safe.’
Yoo Hyun repeatedly wiped his face in anxiety.
Kang-hyun absentmindedly looked at his phone.
It was the last text Yoon had sent him. Kang-hyun’s eyes welled up as if he could hear Yoon’s voice.
Kang-hyun got up from his seat and, staggering, opened the emergency exit door. Yoo Hyun could only anxiously watch Kang-hyun’s retreating figure.
Kang-hyun, having opened the door and entered, collapsed on the emergency exit stairs.
Kang-hyun opened his phone and with trembling hands, he typed a reply to Yoon.
Yoon…
However, his hands shook so much that he couldn’t press the send button.
He was scared. Scared that he might never hold her hand again. Scared that he might never hear her voice again.
‘No, I can see her again. Right?’
Kang-hyun looked at Yoon’s picture saved on his phone. It was a picture of Yoon with cream on her cute nose, her eyes round like a rabbit. Kang-hyun’s eyes became moist.
There was also a picture of Yoon putting cream on her nose, which she dabbed onto a piece of cake that Mi-young had bought. Yoon pouted and insisted he erase it.
The memory of that day made a gentle smile appear on Kang-hyun’s face.
Kang-hyun continued to flip through the photos. Eventually, he paused at the video. After hesitating for a moment, Kang-hyun played the video with trembling hands.
It was Kang-hyun’s birthday, and Yoon had smeared cream on his face before he could do it to her, then ran into the living room, laughing.
It was Kang-hyun’s favorite video.
Kang-hyun, as if drawn by the screen, reached towards it. In the air, as if caressing Yoon in the video, his hand moved. A tear from Kang-hyun’s eyes fell onto the phone.
‘My Yoon.’
It was a happy day. It was a birthday spent with just Yoon. Every moment of that day felt just as it was. It was a moment when Yoon’s laughter echoed through the house.
‘Kang-hyun, your face looks so funny…’
He had seen Yoon laugh so innocently for the first time. Until then, there was always a shadow somewhere, and a part of his heart was always bitter, but Yoon on that day looked incredibly happy.
‘Hey, I prepared a handkerchief…’
Yoon, who set up a birthday table for him the next day, handed him a handkerchief while muttering.
‘My gift?’
‘Yes.’
Taking the handkerchief Yoon offered, Kang-hyun was so happy that it felt like his heart would burst.
On the day he visited Hanam-dong, he kept thinking about the handkerchief given by Yoon, presumably from her ex-boyfriend. However, the fact that she gave him a handkerchief as a gift meant that she had completely forgotten that man.
‘Is it too small a gift?’
‘Small? It’s the best gift I’ve ever received.’
Kang-hyun didn’t even think of using the handkerchief Yoon gave him. It was displayed as it was, packaged in one corner of the dressing room.
‘Mr. Kang-hyun. I’m so happy.’
‘What did I do that was so great for you to be happy?’
‘Happiness is originally like this.’
‘Is that so? It must be so easy for you to make me happy. Expect it. You’ll be happy every day.’
Even eating simple sushi, she claimed to be happy.
‘Yoon…’
Kang-hyun missed those days so much. They were peaceful daily routines. Ordinary days that were thought to last forever.
Days when they did the dishes together.
The moment he watched her studying in the study.
Yoon singing him a birthday song.
Yoon nestling in his arms.
My Yoon.
Kang-hyun’s eyes turned red.
Inside the small phone, Yoon’s eyes were twinkling, smiling widely.
To prevent tears from streaming down, Kang-hyun bit his lip.
‘Yoon…’
He must not cry.
Absolutely do not cry.
Because it’s hopeless.
‘Please…’
