The Heirs (Unedited)

Chapter 21

Author's Note:

So you may have realised, I've switched from POV writing to third person from the last chapter. I feel the story plays out better like this. And reading back on the previous POV's kinda makes me cringe so I'll be changing those when I have the time. I hope you enjoy this chapter, I wrote this out without proofreading due to my busy schedule. A little more Young Do X Eun Sang interaction.

Days passed, the woman sat on the bed, staring absently outside the window, watching the rain beat down on the glass mercilessly in the late afternoon. It had been raining for the past few days, dark and gloomy. Her Mother had just left after being persuaded to go home and rest, assuring her that she'll be fine by herself. She scanned the ward briefly, a small beige couch by the window with a coffee table next to it. A 20-inch flat-screen television sat in front of her, the black screen reflecting her in it. On the side table next to the bed, was a vase holding white lilies that Bo-Na had brought.

She and Chan Young came to visit that morning after landing back in Seoul, the girl in tears upon seeing her friend in the hospital once more, even worse with her in a cast. 

Chan Young was worried too but Eun Sang assured them that she was fine, she wasn't in that much of a pain, physically. Though, she felt bad that the couple cut short their honeymoon to return, they only found out about the accident on the day she came to. The two had their mobile phones switched off and passed to their personal assistants so they could enjoy their time together, they felt bad for not coming earlier. 

Her head turned when she heard a click from the door, watching the tall man enter. He pulled a tight smile and as quickly that it came, it left. "How are you feeling?"

Eun Sang threw a glance at the rain drops racing down the window once more before facing him completely, "Fine," 

Young Do knew by that answer that the pain in her injuries were nothing as compared to what she felt on the inside. "Have you eaten yet?"

She shook her head, the last meal she had was at noon and hospital food wasn't exactly the best kind of energy source. 

The man smiled, "Good, because I bought food." He placed a bag on the table, pulling out a container box that resembled a bowl. Eun Sang raised a brow, "You didn't cook again, did you?"

Young Do gave an offended look, scoffing in a petty manner, "What is that supposed to mean?"

A small chuckle left her lips and Young Do was more than relieved to see a smile on her face. Even if it was just a tiny smile.

 "You work in the kitchen but you never learnt anything from the chefs," She shrugged, "What did you bring?" 

The taller man grinned, pushing the movable table closer to Eun Sang before opening the lid, piping hot steam escaping immediately. "Noodles?" She looked at him, asking him a silent question. 

He nodded, "Eat up, the Ahjumma made sure to cut down on the salt for you and add more vegetables," He passed her the disposable chopsticks. Picking up a bunch of noodles with the chopsticks, steam rolling off rapidly in the cold ward, making sure it was cool enough to eat, Eun Sang placed it in her mouth. The familiar taste hitting her taste buds.

"It's still good," She comments, taking another bite gingerly. 

Young Do hummed a respond, sitting on the couch on her right.

"Not going to eat?" She asked, though her eyes were focused on the food in front of her. When you get food other than hospital food, it will always be more delicious.
