#Episode 41

 

“Let’s go now.”

 

Half-leaning against him, she stepped out of the entrance.

 

The elevator arrived and she immediately got on the elevator with him.

 

But what would they do if someone else got on in the middle?

 

Ah, maybe he made her wear this with the intention of covering not just her face but her entire body with the padding.

 

She nodded, thinking that made sense too.

 

Then he looked at Da-som with curious eyes, wondering what she was thinking about by herself.

 

When their eyes met, her heart swayed and stirred once.

 

Right, I fell for that gaze and acted like a fully prepared meal.

 

Kang Hyeok, who had thoroughly and carefully devoured that prepared meal, was smiling leisurely like a satisfied predator.

 

When she glared up at him because that was annoying, he planted a kiss on Da-som’s forehead and laughed softly.

 

“Why are you so pretty?”

 

At the low laughter that echoed in the elevator, Da-som’s heart swayed once again.

 

Dating a handsome man was really bad for the heart.

 

“No matter what, I won’t tell you to come inside.”

 

When she lowered her eyes gently and muttered like talking to herself, Kang Hyeok, who understood, playfully responded.

 

“…Oh no. It’s not working.”

 

“Of course. I have to survive somehow too.”

 

When Da-som replied with a grin, Kang Hyeok planted another kiss on her forehead.

 

As he pulled her close, cupping the back of her head with his large hand and pressing for a while, the elevator arrived at the 7th floor.

 

The door opened and Kang Hyeok also got off the elevator.

 

“It’s convenient since home is close, but it’s disappointing.”

 

When she leaned against the front door and looked up at Kang Hyeok, deep regret was evident in his eyes.

 

“Then I’ll go in. Oh, and didn’t I tell you?”

 

“…What?”

 

Should I say this or not?

 

Da-som hesitated for a moment then decided to blurt it out.

 

“That Professor was amazing. …Thank you.”

 

It was gratitude expressed to Kang Hyeok for making her first time a beautiful memory.

 

Time that let her fully enjoy the feeling of being loved and cared for without reserve. So it was time when her body and heart were fulfilled.

 

Kang Hyeok looked at Da-som silently then chuckled.

 

“You even know how to say things like that. Our Da-som is quite the expert.”

 

“Hurry up and go upstairs. I’m going in now.”

 

“Okay.”

 

Da-som hurriedly turned around and pressed the entrance door lock password.

 

Beep beep beep.

 

The sound of the lock being released rang out.

 

“I’ll give you a ride to the hospital later.”

 

“No. I can go by myself.”

 

Unlike her, Kang Hyeok was off today too. And although his shift starts tomorrow morning, Da-som gets off work tomorrow morning.

 

Their work schedules were mismatched for a few days.

 

“At times like this, you should just say thank you and take advantage of it.”

 

“Yes, then I’ll contact you in the evening.”

 

They weren’t lovers who would part after seeing each other for just one day, but her nose stung for no reason.

 

After bowing her head deeply, she opened the front door and went inside.

 

Thud.

 

The heavy front door closed and the door lock locked again.

 

Da-som quietly leaned against the front door and focused on the sound of Kang Hyeok’s footsteps going back.

 

I should return the padding later.

 

At the sound of the elevator door closing and going up, she slowly started walking.

 

Da-som, who entered the living room, lay down flat on the carpeted floor.

 

Perhaps because of the blanket-like padding, Da-som, who was cozily wrapped up, fell asleep just like that.

 

***

 

Rrrrr. Rrrrr.

 

Da-som, who opened her eyes groggily at the continuously ringing phone, took out her phone from her bag and checked the number.

 

It was an unknown number.

 

Who is it?

 

After just hanging up and trying to check the number again, she saw there were 4 missed calls from this number since yesterday.

 

Feeling a bit strange, she pressed the call button. It might be an acquaintance’s number that wasn’t saved.

 

The dial tone stopped and after waiting a few seconds, someone immediately answered the phone.

 

“Hello?”

 

―…

 

There was no answer from the other side.

 

What?

 

“It seems like you’ve been calling since yesterday, so I called back. Do you know me by any chance?”

 

―You’re Jeong Da-som, right?

 

It was a calm and intelligent voice. It seemed like the vocal cords were trembling slightly too.

 

“Yes, I’m Jeong Da-som. Who is this?”

 

―I’m the guardian of Kim Min-chan who was brought to the emergency room in a traffic accident a few days ago.

 

“Ah, yes. …But why did you call me…?”

 

Is this what I’ve only heard about?

 

When there’s a doctor they like, sometimes they get the number saying they’ll introduce a family member, or they even come to the hospital to meet them.

 

Of course, I’ve seen cases where it actually worked out well that way.

 

This was the moment when I finally understood why this aunt was staring at me in the emergency room waiting room.

 

―I’d like to meet once. When do you have time?

 

“Ah, what’s this about?”

 

―I’d like to talk in person. I’m free anytime.

 

“I don’t know how you got my number, but contacting me personally like this is a bit difficult.”

 

―I’m sorry. I really wanted to meet you.

 

“…I can’t make time for a while, but I’ll contact you again.”

 

―Okay, anytime is fine, so please contact me.

 

“Yes.”

 

Living life, all kinds of things really happen.

 

Da-som brushed it off casually and scrolled through the contacts that had come to her.

 

In the group chat room that Eun Hyeok and Han Byeol created, there were over 300 unread messages.

 

Han Byeol, who said she was going to study, ended up helping Eun Hyeok move, and it seemed Yohan helped too.

 

It was a passage that confirmed Han Byeol and Yohan were dating.

 

As Da-som was giggling and finished reading all the messages and was about to put down her phone, texts from Eun Hyeok started pouring in.

 

「Cotton ball, where are you?」

 

「Are you alive? Why aren’t you answering quickly?」

 

「You’re not home either, where did you go? I was about to contact So-yeon noona but stopped. You’re not kidnapped somewhere, are you?」

 

「Don’t tell me you’re with That Person?」

 

Da-som, who smiled, just pressed the call button.

 

Then Eun Hyeok immediately answered the phone.

 

―Hey, cotton ball. You’re alive, right?

 

“Of course I’m alive. Did the move go well?”

 

―Whoa, why does your voice sound like that? Did you go to Han Bin’s fan meeting?

 

“I was with Professor.”

 

―…

 

There was no response from Eun Hyeok. He seemed quite shocked.

 

He probably hadn’t thought the two of them would have progressed that far yet.

 

“Eun Hyeok, I’ll see you in the evening.”

 

―No, don’t you dare hang up. What I’m thinking right now isn’t what happened, right?

 

For her friend’s mental health, Da-som wanted to say no, but since she couldn’t lie about it, she spoke vaguely.

 

“Let’s talk when we meet later.”

 

―No way. No way. Don’t hang up! Or I’ll come barging over there, okay?

 

“I’m tired. I need to get up now to prepare for work.”

 

―O-okay. I’ll see you at the hospital.

 

After barely finishing the call with Eun Hyeok, Da-som also called Han Byeol to confirm she was doing well and safe.

 

After sorting out the whole situation and feeling relieved, her phone buzzed briefly.

 

Buzz.

 

No, this guy really.

 

He couldn’t even wait that long and is texting again.

 

Da-som checked the message.

 

「I ordered delivery food so it’ll arrive soon. Make sure to eat everything before going to work.」

 

The text wasn’t from Eun Hyeok but from Kang Hyeok.

 

This was definitely the perfect timing to send a cutesy text. Just as she was briefly pondering how to send it, the doorbell rang.

 

When she checked through the intercom, it was a delivery man wearing a helmet.

 

Da-som quickly opened the front door and went out to receive the delivery food.

 

It was hot seolleongtang.

 

She set the thinly sliced boiled pork and seolleongtang on the dining table and took a photo.

 

Then she sent the photo along with a text to Kang Hyeok.

 

「My darling is sooo sweet~~~ But how am I supposed to eat all this yummy food by myself??? Still, I’ll eat it all deliciously♥」

 

Though it was a cringeworthy text, she felt proud after sending it.

 

Kang Hyeok was probably having the same cringeworthy experience as her right now.

 

Well, who told him to be so touching?

 

As she sat in the dining chair preparing to eat, the doorbell rang.

 

Thinking the delivery man might have left something behind, she scurried to the entrance.

 

When she pressed the intercom to check, a sculpture-like handsome man was standing on the screen, grinning.

 

“Da-som, open the door. Your boyfriend is here.”
