The Novel's Extra (101-200)

Chapter 136 - Farewell (3)

Yoo Yeonha stared at the ground blankly. Her heels were spinning in her blurred vision. A mysterious chill strangled her. She couldn't breathe.

"...Haa."

After barely managing to eek out a breath, Yoo Yeonha raised her head. Kim Hajin was still lying in the hospital bed. In Yoo Yeonha's eyes, however, his bed was shaking like it was experiencing an earthquake.

She bit her lips.

No way.

I must have seen it wrong.

That must be it.

Yoo Yeonha raised her smartwatch with her trembling hands.

A clear picture of a tattoo appeared on the smartwatch's screen. It was exactly like the one drawn on Kim Hajin's upper arm.

An indescribable shock pressed down on Yoo Yeonha's temple.

"Uuu...."

"Hiik!"

Kim Hajin moved his body. In that instant, Yoo Yeonha's body shook greatly.

Kim Hajin slowly opened his eyes. He blankly stared at the ceiling for a moment, then slowly turned his head to the side. Just like that, their eyes met.

"Yoo Yeonha?"

Kim Hajin spoke.

Yoo Yeonha swallowed her saliva and struggled to move her stiff tongue.

"...He, hell, hello."

"What?"

"H-How, how has it been?"

"...Good, I guess?"

Kim Hajin was looking at her. Just this fact made her incapable of maintaining her calm.

However, she refused to lose her mind. She told herself that this was the one time she needed to stay calm and decisive.

First, she collected her breath.

As though she hadn't been breathing for a while, a gush of oxygen flowed into her brain. As a result, her vision turned clear and her discontinued thoughts came back.

"Huu...."

Calm down. Nothing is sure yet.

Everything might just be a huge misunderstanding.

It might be Yoo Jinhyuk's mistake, or someone might have tried to pin the blame on him.

For now, nothing is one-hundred percent certain...

"Oh right, how's Chae Nayun?"

Kim Hajin hurriedly asked. He was worrying about Chae Nayun, worrying about her sincerely. However, his sincerity confused Yoo Yeonha even more.

"Chae Nayun is, is fine. Uh, I, I'm going out for, a minute."

Yoo Yeonha quickly turned around and left, leaving behind Kim Hajin who was staring at her quizzically.

Although Yoo Yeonha was in a situation where sound judgment and logical thinking were difficult, she knew what she had to do.

Yoo Yeonha messaged her information guild.

[Gangnam Severance Hospital. Patient name, Kim Hajin.]

Because her head was spinning, she found it difficult to type. She felt sick to her stomach. Holding herself back from throwing up, she shot her eyes open.

Most hospitals took written records of their patients' identifying characteristics. Naturally, tattoos were included in them.

As such, all data about Kim Hajin gathered today had to be erased. Before Chae Joochul or Chae Nayun found out, it had to be wiped away from existence.
