Golden Time (JungYong)

58

Prof. Lee Sukki frowned at Suhyuk's remarks.

He thought he did not know how to socialize with the people.

"We're going to have a dinner meeting after we're done today."

At Lee's remarks, the hospital director said to Suhyuk,

"Do you have any other work today?"

Suhyuk nodded his head.

"Yes, I've got some important work to do. I'd appreciate it if you could excuse me."

The director nodded slowly, saying, "Okay, go ahead then."

"Thank you, sir."

With that they began examining the less fortunate people.

The director and the professor met them like before. Likewise Suhyuk was watching them, with the first-aid in hand. It was already 5pm.

They gathered again at the same place as before for a group picture before getting on the ambulance. 

"You're really not coming with us?"

Prof. Lee asked Suhyuk from inside the ambulance.

"No, sir. It's really important. I'm sorry."

Nodding his head, Lee closed the door.

So, Suhyuk was left alone, looking at the ambulance disappearing slowly.

Soon he turned his gaze at the shantytown and smiled. 

His eyes reflected a sleeping baby that was dry as a bone, a grandfather with a bent back, and a grandmother handing out soybean milk to him. Wearing smiles as warm as spring sunshine, he moved.

It was past 10pm. The rusty iron door opened with a heavy noise. 

"Is anybody in?"

At the woman's voice, Suhyuk said to the grandfather he was seeing,

"Let me go out."

Coming out of the room, his eyes became wider.

The woman was holding a transparent plastic bag.

She was Binna who went out for the dinner meeting. 

"Ms. Binna?"
At his words she avoided his eyes, turning her head to the side.

"I thought you would need this…"

The contents in the bag were clearly visible. All were medical supplies.

When the hospital director and the professor were examining them, she saw Suhyuk's glaring eyes, and vaguely recalled his character when he said he would go back home at the shantytown.

His eyes looking at the patients were clearly different from others.

So, just in case, she came out before they began to have drinks, and arrived at the shantytown. 

She searched for him for about 30 minutes busily, and finally could find him.

Looking at her quietly, Suhyuk grinned and took the plastic bag she had been holding.

"As a matter of fact, I needed some bandages. Please wait a little while," said he.

Taking out the bandages, he went in. It did not take long.

"Please take care of your health, and visit the hospital when you don't feel good."

"Thanks, thanks."

As soon as he heard the grandfather say that, he went out again.

"Looks like you spent a lot of money on this."
