Yoo Yeonha opened her eyes. A patternless white ceiling filled her sight, and the sound of something being cut tickled her ears. She turned towards the direction of the sound.
Kim Suho was cutting an apple with a fruit knife.
"...What are you doing here?"
Yoo Yeonha asked dumbfoundedly. Kim Suho glanced at Yoo Yeonha before smiling bashfully.
"You're awake? It doesn't hurt anywhere, right?"
"...I'm fine."
"The doctor said there's nothing wrong with your body."
Yoo Yeonha raised her upper body. She felt slightly stiff and sore, but it wasn't to the point she couldn't move.
"What I want to know is why you're here."
"We're taking turns nursing you. Me, Nayun, Shin Jonghak, and Kim Horak."
"Why?"
Yoo Yeonha asked genuinely curious.
"Well, it's kind of our fault..."
"...Huh?"
Yoo Yeonha fell in thought because of Kim Suho's incomprehensible words. How was it their fault?
But even after contemplating about what happened, she couldn't come up with an answer.
'Did they do something I didn't know?' Yoo Yeonha glared at Kim Suho, demanding an explanation.
"As members of the same team, we should have been more careful. We were too absorbed in caring for Nayun that we were too negligent..."
Yoo Yeonha became lost for words. Her brain seemed to freeze at the sheer stupidity of Kim Suho's statement.
It wasn't like they could have known she would get attacked. Not to mention, the investigation team had only met twice, and there was even a huge argument in the second meeting.
"...Sorry."
"Pfft."
Yoo Yeonha chuckled at Kim Suho's bashful apology. If anything, she realized just how stupidly kind this man was.
"You don't need to be sorry. I got what I deserved."
Kim Suho scratched his neck and gave Yoo Yeonha a plate of sliced apples, which were shaped like rabbits. Yoo Yeonha smiled subconsciously. Being a girl, Yoo Yeonha liked cute things.
"They look nice."
"Thanks."
Kim Suho laughed innocently. His handsome face seemed to shine. Yoo Yeonha stared at his face in a daze before suddenly remembering something and asking.
"...Oh right, um, did that person come?"
"That person?"
Kim Hajin.
Yoo Yeonha couldn't say his name out loud. She had a conscience. She didn't expect him to visit her after what she had done.
"No, nevermind."
She looked outside the window. There wasn't a single cluster of clouds on the East Sea's clear and blue sky. The world seemed particularly bright under the beaming sunlight.
Seeing this dazzling scenery, Yoo Yeonha fell in thought.
She learned many things today.
Of course, her 17-year-old personality wouldn't entirely change with just this one incident. Tomorrow's Yoo Yeonha might not be too different than today's.
