Madam Park took the glass and said with a smile, "She is your wife. You two are so intimate that you don't have to be polite to each other."
Then she put the glass aside and looked at Roseanne. "Sit down and take a rest. We can take care of Jimin here. When you return to South Korea, you can take care of him all the time. Now, leave him to us."
At that moment, Kim Seokjin entered the ward. Hearing their dialogue, he said, "There is nothing wrong with his health. As long as his occasional headache eases, he is completely fine. Even if you return to Korea, he won't need special care. After all, he had been asleep for two months, and he had completely recovered."
Madam Park nodded happily. "That would be the best, or I'll be worried about them even if they go back to South Korea."
Roseanne didn't sit down but took two steps back and stood at the window. Kim Seokjin said a few more words to Madam Park and turned to glance at her. "Roseanne Lin, come and get me some medicine."
"Okay." Roseanne was really embarrassed by being in this ward. If no one else was here, she might have found a chance to talk to him.
But now, she couldn't get a word in.
Out of the ward, Kim Seokjin walked in front, and she followed. After getting the medicine, Kim Seokjin turned around and looked at her. "What the hell is going on between you and Park Jimin?"
"Nothing, just some little things. We'll be all right when we get back to Korea." She lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.
Her smile didn't reach her eyes. She was obviously not telling the truth.
Seeing that she was not going to tell him the truth, he didn't ask anymore. He handed her the medicine and patted her on the shoulder. "Stay good. Don't be like Jisoo and me. Love can be worn down."
Roseanne nodded.
She didn't cherish his love in her previous life and finally wore down away all his tolerance and patience with her in this one.
The current Park Jimin was the Park Jimin who was far away from her and out of her reach.
He was so estranged that her heart hurt every time she looked at him.
"Park Jimin clearly doesn't intend to let his parents know what is going on between you and him. It's possible to maintain a calm facade here in Los Angeles, but you'd better be prepared since many things will be under his control when you get back to South Korea." Although Kim Seokjin thought these words were cruel, he still said them.
"I know, but I'm not going to divorce him, never ever," Roseanne said in a low voice.
Kim Seokjin raised his eyebrows. "I hope you can hold on."
...
Park Jimin was released from the hospital four days later.
They would return to South Korea in three days, and Park Jimin booked a flight back to Seoul. In the three days before he was discharged from the hospital, as requested by Madam Park over and over again, he finally agreed to stay at the Park family for a few more days.
The day of his discharge was cold and windy, and many people, who had been unable to enter his ward, were waiting at the gate of the hospital, including the Seong family.
Seong Mina's father said to Park Taeyong with a smile, "Young people are in good physical condition. Even after such a serious accident, he recovered after a good rest, unlike us old people who will be in serious trouble after a fall."
Park Taeyong smiled. "Yes, we should accept the fact that we have aged. After all, our physical qualities are not the same as those of the young."
Seong Mina's father turned to greet Park Jimin, who indifferently nodded at him. Down the steps in front of the hospital, there was a short walk from where the car was parked. Roseanne felt the wind was too strong. She had brought Park Jimin's coat, which was put in the bag held by Haruto.
Roseanne turned to get the coat from Haruto and hurried to his side. She was about to put the coat on him when he took a step forward quietly, drawing away from the coat as if he did not see her. Roseanne paused; she took the coat and was about to try putting it on him again, when suddenly she heard Seong Mina, who came after her, "Jimin, let me put the coat on you. It's too windy."
With that, Seong Mina put over him a dark gray coat, which she might have bought or have taken from the Park family home.
He didn't reject her, and his face looked mild with no sign of rejection or disapproval.
Roseanne stopped and stood behind the crowd. Hardly anyone was paying attention to her now. This deliberate indifference and neglect could only be experienced by her.
"Mrs. Park, the coat..." Haruto came over and handed her the bag. "Maybe you can put it into this bag."
Roseanne handed the coat to Haruto and then saw Seong Mina in the crowd, who had been walking by Park Jimin's side as a matter of course once she put the coat on him. They walked to the door of the car. She raised her hand to help him, and he sat into the car, letting Seong Mina hold his arm and not waving her away.
Once again, she felt her heart was hollowed out.
Until all others left, got into the car, or tended to their business, Roseanne , who had been walking behind the crowd, got into the car Park Jimin was in. He had closed his eyes and sat silently on the leather chair in the car. Perhaps he was asleep or taking a rest. He never looked at her, as if he didn't care when or if she got in the car.
This was a luxury limo and drove very smoothly. There were many people in the car. Although the Seong family people were not in this car, Park Jimin was still wearing the coat Seong Mina put on him.
"Rosie, do you have anything to buy? If not, we'll just go straight back to the Park family. Before you and Jimin return to Korea, take a good rest in the Park family home," Madam Park said.
"No."
Madam Park motioned to the driver to drive. She didn't see anything wrong with Park Jimin, although he was more silent and unapproachable than before after he woke up; however, she noticed that Roseanne was a lot quieter these days.
When they were about to reach the Park family, Madam Park went with the servants who came with her to buy some things and said that she would make them a soup later. Park Taeyong was not in the car. The driver was also called to help carry things by Madam Park, so after they got out of the car, there were only Roseanne, and Park Jimin left in the car.
It was very silent.
After he woke up, his ward was bustling with people. Perhaps to avoid being alone with her, he, who always liked quiet environments, allowed many people to come to his ward.
So, it was only now that the two were alone again.
It was the first time Roseanne didn't know what to say, or how to introduce a topic when she faced Park Jimin.
