Chapter 388 – One Step
Having a friend from a chaebol family is convenient in many ways. However, when the chaebol family friend tells him, ‘I live a dirty and tiring life’.
“Asylum? Wow, this crazy guy, in a sense, he’s a really great bastard. Acknowledge and admit.”
Lee Seok-chan, who heard the story, said with admiration. He was a man of great magnanimity who was lavish in respecting his friends.
“Ah, don’t get me wrong. Because it’s right to curse at you as an idiot, you bastard.”
Of course, that respect didn’t always mean a good thing.
Anyway, with the help of a chaebol friend, Seo Joo-hwan was easily introduced to a reliable doctor. Thanks to him, he reduced what would normally have to be booked a month in advance to 3 days.
“Yula, let’s go.”
“Yes, brother.”
Now, Eun-yul is more comfortable calling her older brother than the author. Seo Joo-hwan put her in her car and drove her to the hospital just in time for her.
“Eunyul… Oh, here it is. Has confirmed. I’ll call you soon, so please sit down and wait for a while.”
The two waited in a chair following the nurse’s guidance.
While waiting, Seo Joo-hwan held Eun-yul’s hand so that he wouldn’t be anxious.
“Yul, are you okay?”
“Yes? Ah yes. Than you think I guess it’s because my brother is with me.”
Eunyul put on her hat her and smiled a little as if telling her not to worry.
However, there was a slight uneasiness in the eyes of her that intermittently looked around. She covered her face well every few seconds and touched up a hat and mask.
When Seo Joo-hwan looked at her with concern, Eun-yul also noticed her gaze at her and smiled awkwardly. Soon, she whispered, slipping the pods into her clasped hands.
“Can I keep holding your hand? Then it should be fine, I guess…….”
“Yeah, I’m glad if you’re okay with that.”
“Hehe. Thank you, brother.”
Did it just calm down with a pod? Or has the ‘hand of stability’ permeated enough? Eunyul’s expression her, which had been somewhat stiff, softened.
After a while, the nurse’s voice was heard.
“Eunyul-nim, I’m going to go into treatment room 1. Oh, is the man your guardian?”
“Yes, I am the guardian.”
Seo Joo-hwan calmly nodded her head to the nurse who looked at her with a puzzled expression. Eun-yul’s parents did not come today.
Sigh. When I opened the door and entered, a doctor who looked to be in his late 30s was sitting there.
“Hello, patient.”
She is an impressive woman with a neat and gentle atmosphere. She bowed politely, inviting her to sit in her chair with her lithe hand.
“Oh, hello…….”
Eun-yul greeted me and sat down.
The doctor looked at Seo Ju-hwan.
“Would you like to sit down too? It can take quite a while.”
“All right.”
“My name is Kim Hee-yoon. I’ll have to see you more often, so please take good care of me. Even the guardian.”
Although it depends on the disease you are suffering from, in the case of psychiatry, you have to visit the hospital every few months at the shortest and every year at the longest. As such, the distance between the doctor and the patient was also important.
“Ah yes. Please take good care of me.”
“Take good care of me.”
The doctor looked at her on her chart and Eun-yul alternately for a while to determine the disease she was suffering from. It is to compare Eun-yul’s current condition with her record of going to the hospital alone a few months ago.
She said, “She is said to have mutism, but she is in better condition than I thought. Although she stutters a bit, her pronunciation her is accurate and her meaning her is not a problem. She seems to have lessened her panic disorder and depression than her record her.”
After asking a few questions, the doctor said with a smile.
[Whoops. It’s a natural result because the owner stuck right next to him and took care of it.]
Lucy said in a shrugged voice.
But the doctor said it was just the beginning.
“Now then, shall we talk in earnest?”
“Ah, yes. It took about 15 days for my condition to improve.”
“No. Not that.”
“Yes?”
The doctor smiled softly and continued.
“Let’s go back to the old days. It may be painful for the patient, but we talk about it from the time the symptoms started. The chart also gives a rough idea, but this is what I recorded at the previous hospital… If I really want to know about the patient, it would be better if I heard it myself.”
“Ah…”
In an instant, Eun-yul’s expression darkened noticeably. It must be because it reminded me of painful memories. Seo Joo-hwan stood beside her and held her hand her.
[Subject, ‘Eunyul’ has an affinity for ‘A’.]
[The skill, ‘Hand of Stability’ receives a favorability correction.]
The skill is applied, and Eun-yul’s face her noticeably settles down. The doctor who saw this looked back at Seo Ju-hwan with a little surprise, then smiled softly.
“Symptoms started, about six months, that’s it.”
A rather long story has begun.
*
Seo Ju-hwan, who was listening to her story her, sighed in regret.
‘The more you know, the more…….’
I don’t know how it’s so similar to you. Suddenly, Eun-yul reminded him of himself before returning.
‘How foolishly he endured alone.’
Of course, Eun-yul also has a family. However, Eun-yul’s family did not come to the hospital today. It was because he did not know that Eun-yul was suffering from various mental illnesses. Since the person concerned left the house after deciding and hiding it, there was no way for the family to know.
Eun-yul had her own reasons for not telling her family her about her symptoms her.
Her family was a step-married family, and she had a 10-year-old younger sister born to her father and stepmother.
Even though she was a stepmother, Eunyul’s stepmother was not a bad person. After the birth of her biological child, she became somewhat neglectful of her, but the two maintained an amicable mother-daughter relationship in their own way.
The problem happened a few days after Eunyul went home after the disbandment of the girl group Swing Lady. She came home crying one day after her brother had been bullied at school. The reason for the bullying was the fact that his older sister her, Eun-yul, was the former leader of Swing Lady, who was involved in drug, school violence, and sexual favors scandals.
The language of the elementary school students was so violent that even a ten-year-old could not think of it. Eun-yul was called a prostitute or a drug idol, and such criticism went to Eun-yul’s younger brother her.
It wasn’t just a problem for children. Rather, it was the parents who became less human.
Rumors about Eun-yul spread one after another in parent communities, including mom cafes. Legally, Eun-yul was found innocent of any charges, but originally, people accepted provocative gossip more easily than the truth.
– I can’t sue all these bastards!
– Honey, shouldn’t we be moving? Or even if Eugene transferred… How is Yujin going to school because of the rumor about Yul?
– What? Are you saying Yui did something wrong?
– No, it’s not that Yul did anything wrong! Rumor has it that even Eugene…!
– Aaaaang!
– Yu, Jin-ah, I’m sorry mom. I won’t scream
It was an instant for Goseong to come and go in a harmonious family. Fortunately, the couple quickly reconciled and had a calm conversation, but in the end, they moved and transferred schools for the sake of youngest Eun Yoo-jin. She has to explain to the parents that she has decided that it will not be easy to change the perception that has already spread among her children.
“You only became aware of the symptoms after you left the house around that time?”
Eun-yul left the house after her family and her planned to move. She thought that if he stayed with her, the same thing might happen again after she moved out of her. The family asked to live together, but Eun-yul’s decision was firm.
“Yes……. I had symptoms before, but I thought it was just temporary because of bad comments and stress.”
The first time Eun-yul had a panic attack was the first day he got his own room in her. As soon as he let go of his tension, the stress that had reached its peak exploded at once.
“After that, he went to the hospital a few times by himself… Meeting someone who recognizes me…….”
From then on, Eun-yul started to feel afraid to leave the house. Even at home he used to come and go to Goseong, being alone was different from being with his family. When he was thoroughly alone, severe depression and lethargy came to him. He skipped meals, disrupted his lifestyle, and suffered from sleep problems.
“But why haven’t you contacted your family?”
“I don’t want to worry, I don’t want to hurt you.”
That one word. Seo Joo-hwan bit his lip for reasons far short of being rational. He also hid the illness from his family until he died, just because he did n’t want to cause concern.
‘After death… Okay.’
It was a bad idea. How did the family feel when they found out about his death? Committed an unforgivable sin.
“Because of me, you two feel guilty… Parents fighting again… Eugene too… My older sister is mentally ill…….”
Eun-yul’s voice, which continued his words, cut off. He was at a level that had to be inferred because the content was not properly connected. The mutism that had been alleviated was returning.
Seeing Eun-yul’s condition, the doctor stopped asking questions. That’s it for today. Taking her hands off her keyboard, she tried to induce a deep breath by holding her hand to calm Eun-yul.
“Miss Eunyul….”
“But, for now, I’m fine.”
Eun-yul’s voice became clear again. It was while adding strength to Seo Ju-hwan’s hand his. Eun-yul looked back at Seo Ju-hwan and said.
“My brother saved me.”
Upon hearing him, the doctor’s eyes widened and he turned to Seo Ju-hwan. But he was in no mood to notice the doctor’s gaze.
“…….”
For a moment, Seo Joo-hwan felt that he was out of breath. It was because of Eun-yul’s eyes her looking at him that he felt a lot of emotion that he couldn’t handle. He couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly at his infinitely warm eyes at her. His expression His was strangely contorted.
Soon after, the doctor looked at Eun-yul again and asked cautiously.
“Eunyul, can you tell me more? If it’s hard, it’s okay to do it next time.”
“I can talk, I can. No, I want to talk. From now on, it won’t be a painful memory.”
“… Like. Shall we talk about what Eunyul wants to say?”
The story continued for a long time.
Eunyul’s voice still cut out intermittently, but it was clearer and more accurate than before. As she continued to talk, the smile on her face grew stronger than the pain.
*
After all the talk.
The doctor, Kim Hee-yoon, looked at Seo Ju-hwan with curious eyes and asked.
“Guardian, can I ask you one rude question?”
“Ah yes. But what question do you have…?”
After she gave her permission, Kim Hee-yoon tilted her head and said.
“Well. Have you ever had a mental illness? Like panic disorder or depression.”
“… Yes?”
When Seo Joo-hwan opened his eyes wide, Kim Hee-yoon quickly waved her hand.
“Ah, don’t get me wrong. From what I’ve heard so far, it’s all thanks to the guardian that Eunyul’s condition has improved. But that method is too precise. No, should I say Jeongseok? I felt as if someone who had been ill had helped me. Oh, are you going to medical school? That would be more persuasive.”
“Haha…….”
Seo Joo-hwan smiled awkwardly and thought.
‘If you open this woman’s status window, she seems to have intuition talent.’
While I was thinking about that, it was Eun-yul who answered.
“That’s because my brother is a writer.”
“Yu, Yul?”
“Yes? Are you a writer?”
When Kim Hee-yoon asked with a puzzled expression, Eun-yul quickly nodded her head and said in an excited voice.
“Because the main character of Eunah Healing is similar to me!”
It was too simplistic to understand. Even Eunah Healing is an abbreviation that only those in the know know.
It was the time when Seo Joo-hwan tried to explain it simply with an embarrassed expression on his face. Kim Hee-yoon looked back at Seo Ju-hwan with a surprised face.
“Ugh. Eunah Healing means a retirement idol’s healing broadcast, right? Was your guardian the writer?”
Seo Ju-hwan’s eyes widened.
So you were a reader, no, were you a reader?
