Always, It's You

Chapter 62

"How are you today, sir?" Ashley asked Mr. Kim looking at the charts in her hands.

"Better," smiled Mr. Kim.

Ashley took out the torch and held her index up,
"look at my finger."

He looked at it and Ashley moved the pointed lights on his pupils one after another.
She finished and wrote something down on the chart, " You are a strong individual, sir."

"My family and I will remain eternally grateful to you young lady."

Ashley smiled lightly, "Please don't make me flustered. It was my job," she quickly changed the topic, "it has been a week, but your progression indicates we can release you very soon."

"I would like that very much," Mr. Kim smiled.

"My shift ended already, I don't have shifts tomorrow, if you are released by then, I guess it a goodbye," Ashley handed the chart to the nurse and bowed to Mr. Kim. "Have a good day, sir. Be careful and take care of yourself."

"You too, dear," he smiled sweetly.

Taehyung entered just when she was about to leave.

" Hey." He smiled at her.
Ashley nodded a little and smiled back and went out.

Taehyung bowed towards the nurse as she went out too. Mr. Kim was already transferred to the cabin. He went to the side of the bed. He was sitting in a reclined position. He had his reading glasses on with a book in his hand.

"Since when did you start reading books?" Taehyung chuckled sitting on the chair beside the bed.

"It's that doctor lady's fault," He closed the book and took off the glasses.
"She gave me this one." He handed the book to Taehyung. "Told me reading something helps recover cognitive functions quickly," he stopped for a moment trying to remember if he'd said the word "Cognitive function" right.

Taehyung looked at the book, a famous Korean classic, The cloud dream of the nine.

Taehyung smiled at the sight, she probably just bought the most famous one out there for him.

"How are you?"

"They said I can go home soon. Probably tomorrow. I ruined your vacation, kiddo," Mr. Kim ruffled Taehyung's hairs, "we were supposed to go overseas this time, no?"

"No need for that anymore," Taehyung smiled sweetly, "Just get well soon."

"Seokjin and Jimin stopped by yesterday."

"I know. I talked with them," Taehyung held his hands, "Eun Jin and Jeong Gyu are so panicked still now. You can't do this to us abeoji."

"Were you scared, kiddo?" Mr. Kim smiled affectionately.

"Why would I be? Who are you to me? " Pouted Taehyung.

Mr. Kim laughed, "It's not bad you know, a lot of relaxed time, the best thing is, your mother is giving me attention finally. Feeling like VIP."

"I am jealous!" smiled Taehyung.

"So, you said you like someone while on tour. We didn't catch up later." Mr. Kim wiggled his brows.
"Did I miss the story fest already?"

"No!!" Taehyung turned a bit red,
"you know you are the one to know first if anything happens."

It was true. His father was his friend, he could say anything with him, share anything whenever he wanted.

"Abeoji, it's a crazy story. You won't believe it."

"Try me," Mr. Kim winked a little.

Taehyung spent the next hour telling him everything.
When he finished, Mr. Kim was on his edge, "let me see her."
