The therapy has been great. Minji has become more determined to walk and has made progress quickly. Yoohyeon didn't expect Minji to make progress this fast. It would usually take a patient a month or so to get to Minji's level but the older did it in three weeks. She can walk now but with assistance. She always held on to Yoohyeon in attempts to walk. And her heart flutters at that since she could've used those bars that most patients hold to practice walking but Yoohyeon offered herself.

"One more step, Ji. We're almost done." Minji took the last step with her left leg. Yoohyeon sat her down on the wheelchair again before placing her hand on her shoulder and slowly caressing it.

"You did so well, Minji. I'm so proud of you." Minji smiled.

"I feel so good I can do that again, Yoohyeon. It still hurts but it doesn't hurt as much as the first time it did." Yoohyeon pushed the wheelchair again to bring Minji back to her room. Oh. Another improvement? Minji finally remembered her parents. The doctor said Minji might remember people by the order that she met them, which makes Minji's parents the first ones. Yoohyeon was happy that Minji remembered her parents. It means Minji remembering her is possible. Bora, Siyeon, and Yubin got hopeful with that news since they're the next closest to Minji after her parents. Yoohyeon does want Minji to remember her but her priority now is to get Minji to walk again.

"I'll see you again tomorrow, Ji. You did so well today." Their therapies changed from every other day to every day since Minji was really determined. There was a knock on the door and Minji shouted 'come in' to let the person enter. It was a man. Yoohyeon was confused because she knows who this person is. Kang Min Hyeok, the guy that acted with Minji in that intimate scene. He had flowers in his hands and he gave a loving smile to Minji. Yoohyeon stepped aside and she couldn't help but feel a pang on her chest when Minji smiled at the guy, just like how Minji smiles at her.

"Hey, Minji." Yoohyeon slowly walked to the door. She didn't want to leave Minji alone with this guy.

"Hi, Minhyeok. Thanks for coming today too." Yoohyeon got confused. Too? Did he visit her before?

"No worries. I'm glad to see you're doing better." When Minji showed Minhyeok a big, bright smile, she couldn't help but feel jealous. Dumbass. Why did I forget that there's a chance she'll fall in love with someone else? She sighed loudly, which was just supposed to be inside her head but her body says otherwise, and got Minji and Minhyeok's attention.

"Oh, sorry. I-I'll get going now." Before Minji could say anything, Yoohyeon was already storming out of the door. Her insecurities came back again, thinking that Minji won't love her the way she used to, look at her as if she's the most precious being. That Minhyeok guy had looks, looks that girls would flock to. And she can't help but think that Minji might be one of those people. She quickly gave a call to Gahyeon and asked,

"A-are you available today, Gahyeon?" The younger doctor got concerned with Yoohyeon's tone.

"Unnie? Are you okay?"

"No, can you visit me in my office?" Gahyeon immediately ended the call and went to Yoohyeon's office. She gave a quick text to Sohee, saying that she might be a little late for their date. The actress understood and told Gahyeon to take her time, and opted to go there instead.

"Unnie! Are you okay?!" Gahyeon abruptly opened the door to Yoohyeon's office with a loud voice. The older doctor got startled and released a small giggle.

"You scared me, Gah. Come here." Gahyeon carefully closed the door and quickly sat beside Yoohyeon. Her best friend had red and puffy eyes, which she didn't want to see. Ever since Minji woke up, other than the days where she would cry since Minji can't remember her, the doctor smiled more and became happier. So why is she like this again?
