"I really thought you weren't going to wake up since the bullet missed a major organ by only a tiny bit," Dr. Oh chuckled.
"But, look! You're awake. I was nervous during the operation for no good reason," he added.
June stared at him incredulously before shaking his head.
Why was he brought to this hospital again?
"Bro," he heard Minjun's voice.
June snapped his gaze to the little kid and immediately brightened up.
"Minjun," he said, flinching as he tried to sit up.
"I advise you not to do that," Dr. Oh quickly said. "This is more severe than the stab wound you incurred back then, so you're in complete bed rest for now."
June groaned, ignoring what the doctor said and coaxing Minjun to come closer to him.
The little kid slowly walked toward him, a guilty expression on his face.
"Are you alright?" June asked.
"I'm not the one on a hospital bed with a gunshot wound," Minjun said, causing June to smile.
"Touche," he chuckled, but that itself was already a bit painful.
Dr. Oh and the nurses watched the scene before them, a bit perplexed about how the idol still looked good after being unarousable for days.
"Idols are really different," one of the nurses whispered.
"Yeah," the other agreed. "He looks like he's fresh out of the shower."
"And his breath smells like flowers, too," Dr. Oh chimed. "It's amazing!"
"You do know I hear you, right?" June asked, making them clear their throats.
Dr. Oh smiled, acting like he didn't say something weird.
"Well, I guess we'll leave you to mingle then," Dr. Oh said.
"When can I leave this place?" June asked, already wanting to go back to their dorm.
"You just woke up, and you're already thinking of going back?" Grandma asked in a scolding tone.
"In order to heal your injuries, you need to stay for at least two weeks in the hospital," Dr. Oh said.
"Two weeks?" June asked with wide eyes. "That's a whole comeback!?I can't miss two weeks of work."
"Your company has already agreed," Dr. Oh said. "I have talked with your manager as well, and they decided that you'd sit out of EVE's schedules for the next two weeks."
June groaned, feeling a bit stressed.
He knew he always complained whenever they were too busy, but he had grown to like the loudness of his life as an idol.
"Well, that's settled. For now, you need to stay here so we can change your wound dressings every day. You'll also complete a full course of antibiotics to decrease the chances of complications," Dr. Oh said.
With that, he left the room with the nurses, leaving June alone with Grandma and Minjun.
"Can't I really go back to work?" June asked, looking at Grandma with doe eyes.
Grandma clicked his tongue. "Don't even think about it. You're going to stay hereu ntil you're fully healed."
June sighed heavily.
"But I'll miss so many schedules," June complained.
"And you'll miss a lot more," Grandma said. "Rest your mind a bit. For now, I'll send Minjun back to school. He has already missed a lot of days since he didn't want to leave you."
