[BTS: Love Yourself Series] MinYoongi x Save Me

Chapter 12: Take a step back

13 December 2013, Hospital corridor

[Yoongi's POV]

Walking step by step with one hand holding on to the wall, Yoongi is working on his rehabilitation by himself. It's been 4 days in the hospital, the members are now in Daejeon for fan sign event. The news of his hospitalization has spread across the ARMY's forum, many fans sent in their greetings and gifts for his speedy recovery. BIGHIT staff has been helping to bring the fan letters to him.

He finally made his way back to his room. The bed lies a stack of fan letters he read halfway. He spotted a cake box on the overbed desk. He opened the box and sees a Christmas cake. He found a photograph underneath the cake box. It is the photo of his back view under the autumn backdrop in Dosan Park. He turns over the photo and read the message;

Annyeong friend,

There's a piece of good news that I really want to share with you. Song TeamJangnim has finally reached out to me again. I'm meeting him tomorrow. This could probably be the next step closer to my dream. '

I'll be spending my winter break back in Ilsan with my family. Here's my Christmas gift to you.

Merry Christmas.

Jihye

[Jihye's POV]

Merry Christmas! Mum and Dad! And of course my dearest sister!

It's been a long break since my last stay at home. I guess my absence at home does make mum be more lenient on me now. She hasn't been mentioning about getting me to try out for the SKY entrance examination. Perhaps it could also be the fact that Unnie failed the civil servant examination for the second time. One good takeaway is Unnie decided to give up on the examination and planning on opening her own flower shop with her friend.

We had a simple Christmas dinner together as a family, and I decided to share the good news over the dinner table.

🦉Jihye: I have signed a contract with L. Inc as a featured artist for my new series of the webtoon.

Dad: That's my girl. I always knew you could do it! Look Yeobo (wife), it's the right decision to support Jihye for her art career! Hahaha, this is the best Christmas present I've received this year.

Mum: I never said she would be a failure in her art career. I just wanted her to have a stable job. Well, as long as you can earn yourself a living. How much royalties fees are you receiving?

🦉Jihye: It's really not much. But it certainly helps to bring more audience and attention to me as a creator. Hopefully, for future work, I can earn more from the royalties.

Jiwoo: What happened actually? You shared that the Jang Teamjang was really rude, and Song Teamjang did not get back to you for weeks.

🦉Jihye: It did. But last week, I received a phone call from Song Teamjang. Apparently, he is promoted to Shiljang (Department Head) last month. He recalled about my project when he is moving his desk.

Jiwoo: So how are you coping now? You are starting your sophomore year in February, and your weekend job in the cafe?

🦉Jihye: I'm leaving the cafe job in January. I should focus on my studies and webtoon now.
