Sumi continues to check her screen, hoping to see the awaited "..." bubble pop up, despite it being a couple of hours after sending the last text. But just as before, there's no response.
She takes in a deep breath to ease her mind. She leans her elbow on her desk while resting her chin on her hand. She stares blankly at the computer screen in front of her. She puckers her bottom lip out.
"You left at the worst possible time, Hobi..."

"I need to see him! Please let me see him!" Su-mi races to the front counter, pleading to the lady sitting on her chair from the other side.
After pressing a few buttons on her keyboard, the lady adjusts her glasses. "May I ask who you are?"
"Kim Su-mi! I-I'm his neighbor! Please—"
"I'm sorry. Only close family are allowed to visit the patient." The nurse peeks over her glasses frame. "You can visit him when he's in stable condition."
"Stable condition!? But.... but...." Su-mi grabs the side of her head, "I'm his girlfriend! Im begging!" Su-mi holds her palms together.
"Ma'am I just told you, only close—"
"Jimin!" Su-mi's eyes widen to see a familiar face walk out from down the long corridor. Despite what the woman told her, Su-mi rushes over to her friend. "I'm so glad to see you! Where is he?"
Jimin, unable to talk, points his finger at the room next to him. Without hesitation, she rushes inside.
She let's out a sigh of relief to see the back of the man she desperately wanted to see. He's sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, looking out the window. She can't see his face, but his unkept hair is easily distinguishable. The corners of her lips curve up as she steps slowly towards him.
"Hoseok...it's me, Su-mi.." she calls out to him in a soft voice. Hoseok doesn't move.
"I came to see you. I heard you were hospitalized. I thought something tragic happened...so I rushed here as fast as I could. I'm so glad you're okay." She continues.
She waits for a response. But Hoseok stays quiet.
Instead, he slowly turns his head around, revealing a gash across the side of his face and a black-bruised eye with a bleeding lip.
