The next day, when dawn arrived, it was still raining outside. The entire City B was shrouded in a misty atmosphere.
The weather seemed depressing. It was so depressing that it felt suffocating. Yeji felt that way as she was on her way towards Townsperson Hospital in City B.
With a nurse's help, she soon found Ryujin's room.
As she stood by the door, she saw Ryujin sitting on the bed and flipping through a document with just one hand while placing it on his lap.
Yeji did not go in. Instead, she turned around and leaned back on the cold wall. She stood on one foot with the other leg bent and her foot resting on the wall. Then, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The strained feeling in her chest was finally gone. She had worried for the whole night before taking the earliest flight over just to see how he was doing.
At ease after knowing that he was alright, she let out a sigh of relief before tilting her head inside and stealing a look at the patient on the bed. She pushed her sunglasses up her nose bridge as she turned around and was about to leave.
At that moment, Ryujin noticed her.
"Shi Shi!"
He quickly put the document down and was about to get up, but he felt agony the moment he tried to do so. He fell back down onto the bed again as the pain amplified and a tortured expression appeared on his handsome face. The documents fell all over the floor.
Yeji stopped and turned around to look at Ryujin. After some internal struggle, she went over.
She stopped beside the bed and helped him pick the documents up.
"Let me do it. You sit down."
A gentle smile spread across Ryujin's face as he was about to get down from the bed.
"Lie down. I'll do it."
Yeji picked the documents up and placed them on the bedside table. She then took off her big sunglasses and exposed her tired eyes.
"I'm just here to take a look. I'm glad to know that you're fine."
Her voice sounded a little hoarse. Undeniably, she had mixed feelings and even she had no idea how to sort out them out.
She could not deny that her lonely heart opened up a little after the chat with Jennie. The gate she had forcefully locked was now shaken up.
Life is short. We're going to get old if we don't love now. Be brave and wild.
However, she...
They were deeply in love. Love had been really simple back then, but at the same time, it had been unforgettable.
"Shi Shi, I've always been waiting for you. I'll wait for you no matter how long it takes. I believe that we can go back to how things were before."
He looked downward with a lonely expression. The usually quiet Ryujin had actually expressed his feelings deep down inside. After a few seconds, he peered up at Yeji in silence.
Yeji was startled and did not say anything. Awkwardly, she looked at the sunglasses in her hand. She did not know what to say...
"When the car crashed last night, I wished that I would have several permanent scars on my face. If that can get you to come back to me, I'm willing to accept it," Ryujin looked at Yeji and said calmly.
His words stunned Yeji for a moment as she felt her heart ache. She raised her head angrily. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"It's not nonsense, Shi Shi. I really thought about that last night... You and Master are the people I want to protect the most. I don't really mind anything as long as the two of you are safe."
Ryujin rarely expressed his feelings. After being by Lisa's side for so many years, they were really similar and they hardly opened up to anyone.
"I told you a long time ago, I don't care... So, if you still think that you can't get over it, I'll continue waiting," Ryujin spoke very quietly with a strong determination in his tone.
"I know you're like this not just because of the scar on your face, but also because of Suho. You think we're responsible for his death... Maybe we don't deserve happiness, so you're trying to repent to Suho..."
No one understood Yeji better than Ryujin. Of course, he knew what her concerns were.
"But that was just an accident. No one's at fault here. Some things are just inevitable. Are we going to keep living under its shadow forever?"
"Master is living under much more pressure than us. After Suho passed away, there's still us..."
Ryujin's sigh reached Yeji's ear and she started to wonder. "There's a good chance that Sehun and Gu Lingsha aren't dead, and Master suspected that this accident might not just be a coincidence..."
A flickering light appeared in Yeji's eyes. "So, you mean the Kim family or the Gu family..."
"It's a possibility."
...
A light flashed past Yeji's eyes as she clenched her fists and took several deep breaths. As if she had just made an important decision, she looked right at Ryujin with a newfound determination. Ryujin unconsciously grabbed onto the bed sheet.
"When you return to City Z, I'll move into your place," Yeji said calmly. Only she herself knew how much effort and struggle she went through to say that.
Ryujin's eyes suddenly glittered when he heard her. He looked at her in disbelief and thought he misheard something. "Shi Shi, what did you just say?"
"I said I'll move into your place. You're going to provide food and shelter for me, aren't you?" u Yeji replied swiftly.
If someone could attack Brother, who knew if we could be in danger as well?
We were the ones chasing from behind back then, and we were supportive of Lisa giving the search order as well.
If anything, we will take it on together.
