MEETING YOU

So Dr.Park knew my brother. Why didn't he ever mention about it? Is he helping me because I'm Haein's younger sister? Why the story of Yuju's father and Dr.Park's adopted family almost sounds the same? Does the two related or something? Yuju never told me that she's sick, and she never tell me she knows my brother.

All the thoughts are lingering in her mind. The best way to get explanation is to meet Yuju face to face but the situation does not seem to like the idea, Yuju is far in her hometown. Maybe a call should be fine. She thought. She walked to the nearby playground located beside the road and found a suitable seat under the tree. She looked for Yuju's name in the contact list and click on the call icon and wait for Yuju to pick up.

"Hello, Yerin-unnie?" Yuju's voice can be heard on the other side.

"Hello Yuju-yah." Yerin greet, but before she could say anything, Yuju cuts her off by saying how much she had missed her.

"It's been a long time! How are you there? I'm sorry for not being able to call you these days. I'm getting quite busy with these little kids here. Working as a kindergarten teacher isn't a joke. I missed you so much! When will you be coming here?" Yuju asked, but Yerin was hesitant in answering the question.

"Yuju-yah, why did you never tell me that you once met my brother? Why you never told me that you're actually sick?" Yerin asked, bombarding her questions right away. Yuju was silent and only breezes of air greeted her ears. Despite of that, Yerin still remain faithful waiting for Yuju to answer.

"D-Did you regained all your memories?" Yuju avoided by asking another question.

"Yes. Bit by bit. So please, help me get to know my brother again. He's the most precious person for me." Yerin begged.

"You're so lucky, Yerin-ah to have such a caring brother like Sir Haein. To be honest, yes, I was sick before. And because of my pale and weak physique, I don't have many friends back then. But as soon as I open my eyes after the heart transplant surgery, your brother came in my view first. I knew that I lost all my relatives due to arson tragedy from him. But ever since then, he never leaves me alone. He helped me overcome my wailing and to fly back to Korea. He also introduce you to me, asking me to befriend with you. But your family moved to Incheon then. I thought it is because of the fight between you and me, but Sir Haein confirmed with me that it is just because of works matter. That is how I know your brother. I'm sorry for keeping all of these as secrets from you, it is a request from your brother. How could I denied a request from a person who had helped me a lot." Yuju explained.

"So that is what happened. Thank you for telling me this." Yerin said, feeling a little bit more relief. "If you don't mind, may I ask one more thing?"

"Anything Yerin-ah. I promised myself not to hide anything from you anymore. Just spit it out!" Yuju said, very determined.

"How do you know Dr.Park?" Yerin asked, the question which the answer she wanted the most.

"Ooouh about him. Nothing special. It's just that he's the doctor responsible to take care of you after the accident. Since I went back and forth a lot to the hospital to take care of you back then, I get to know him. Why would you ask?" Yuju answered, not expecting the question came from Yerin.

"Ouh, nothing. J-Just curious. By the way you don't have to ask Dr.Park to take care of me here. It must cause him trouble. He must be busy with-..." Before Yerin could continue, Yuju suddenly cuts her off.

"Dr.Park is at Incheon? I don't even know that he was there. We really don't talk as often as before after you left from here. So, I thought he was busy with his works. Are you sure you heard him, right?"
