Chapter 56 – Chapter 56 Travel
Perhaps because the village where Chaeyeon’s grandmother’s house is is located in a far more remote place than expected, the 119 called by Nayoung took quite a while to arrive.
At least I rescued Eunbi quickly, so it’s a shame. If I had waited until the end of 119, Eunbi might have died in the worst case.
Anyway, so we all took the ambulance called by Nayoung and moved to a small hospital together.
It was a very small hospital with only one doctor and only one nurse.
“Um… Fortunately, my friend pulled it out of the water quickly, so I don’t see any major problems.”
After a simple examination, Eunbi’s condition could be said to be fine.
“Still, I think you’d better be admitted to the hospital for a day just in case.”
A doctor who says that it would be okay to stay in the hospital for a day or so, fearing that unknown symptoms might appear later due to the poor facilities of the hospital.
I don’t have any medical knowledge, so I think it’s true, but I don’t think it’s a ulterior motive to pull out a little more because there’s not much income coming out of it.
I wasn’t in need of money, and I didn’t think the doctor would covet the money buried in the kids’ noses.
I shook my head and brushed off the useless thoughts.
“I will.”
Fortunately, there is a 119 nearby, so even if you don’t get an ambulance fee, you can’t help but pay for the cost of examination and examination.
That’s why I answered instead of the four girls who were hesitant to give an answer to the doctor’s recommendation to be hospitalized.
“Yes, but have you contacted your parents?”
“I’m going to do that now.”
“So…? Um… Shall I do it for you?”
“No. We’ll do it.”
How surprised would you be if you blindly called the hospital?
It’s nothing special, but it seemed like we liked talking directly.
The doctor showed us to the hospital room with an expression that it didn’t matter as long as we called.
Eun-bi, who monopolizes the quiet 6-person room, where no patients are seen.
“Hehe… I’m sorry guys.”
Eunbi, who changed into a hospital gown and was sitting on the bed with fluid in her arm, seemed embarrassed. She scratched her head and apologized.
“No… There is no need to be sorry. Rather, we are more sorry.”
“That’s right… Eunbi.”
Mijin, who was unable to do anything with her feet shaking even though her own friend fell into the water, she said, dropping her head.
Chaeyeon agreed with that statement.
“No, no… Mijin ah…”
Seeing her like that, Eunbi cried and hugged Mijin.
“Eunbi…!”
She was really Mi-jin, who burst into tears as she hugged her friend whom she only thought would die.
It’s like being infected with a virus that spreads as fast as any virus in the future. Even Nayoung and Chaeyeon shed tears.
Inside the hospital room, which has turned into a sea of tears.
Wooooo…!
Finished then The smartphone in my pocket roared loudly.
After peeking at the screen, I cautiously left the room and answered the phone.
“Hello.”
[A phone call came in and I called.]
The caller was a middle-aged man.
I did not receive the call I made earlier, but now it seems that I checked the reception history and made a call.
“Are you Eunbi’s father?”
[Huh…? I’m Eunbi’s father… But… Who are you?]
“Oh, yes. Hello. I am Lee Ji-hoon, one of the friends who decided to go out with Eun-bi today.”
[Man…?]
Eunbi’s father’s voice suddenly became cold.
It was clear what he was thinking.
Even if I put it in her eyes, it wouldn’t hurt at all. I let her go with her heart because her beloved daughter was going to play with her friends.
I realized belatedly that there was a boy among those friends, so maybe it was a natural reaction as a father of a daughter.
However, within
[!!!!!!]
I couldn’t help but be shocked and heard only loud noises in my ears.
[Oh, there…! Where is it?!]
An urgent voice hinting at his intention to run right away as soon as he gives the address.
“Yes… This is…”
I called the hospital address exactly as I had been told by the doctor, and after saying that I was going right away, the phone hung up.
“Something… Screwed up. This trip.”
It was like making the first friends you like and going on a first trip with them.
But the trip was in danger of ending before the day was over.
Could Nayoung have been disappointed? Or, since Eunbi was in great shock over being in danger of dying, she wouldn’t care.
Worry ahead.
The moment I was about to go back into the hospital room.
The door to the hospital room opened and Mijin came out.
“Where are you going?”
“…”
Lightly asked question.
Mijin closed the door again without saying a word and she looked at me.
“Mijin?”
When she still didn’t say anything, she called her again.
Still, she looked at me blankly for a while without saying a word.
How much time has passed
“That…”
A soft voice came out from between slightly parted lips.
“Thank you…”
Say thank you
“Eunbi… Thank you so much for saving Eunbi…”
The tears that had been trying to stop flowed again.
Her fragile shoulders began to tremble.
“Thank you. A friend.”
He softly hugged Mijin and patted her on the back, then ran his hand over her tear-filled eyes.
“As long as Eunbi is safe. Why are you crying? You have to be happy at times like this. Huh? So, pop.”
Even if I tried to stop, it was the tears that I could not easily stop.
Still, Mijin heard me and struggled to stop her crying.
“I just got a call from Eunbi’s father, and he’s coming down right now. Considering the distance, it will take about two hours at the latest.”
It’s a situation where I heard the news that her beloved daughter almost died, but I think two hours is rather a lot.
Even if speeding comes out, it’s an atmosphere where you don’t care and step on the accelerator, so an hour should be enough.
“What shall we do?”
“We…?”
“Uh. We’re not in the mood to play anymore, right? Shall we just go back?”
“…”
A look of regret appeared on Mijin’s face.
However, since an incident occurred that she could not take lightly, she judged that neither she nor the other children would be in the mood to play like I said, so Mi-jin quietly nodded her head.
“I’ll tell you three.”
The moment she was about to enter the hospital room again. Mijin grabbed my wrist.
“Mijin?”
Let her call her.
“As expected… Aha… I can’t help but like…”
She looked at me with her red-stained face as if she was going to burn, and then she fell down.
Then he muttered in a really low voice that I couldn’t hear.
“Huh…? What?”
“Oh, no… Nothing!”
As if running away, Mijin shook my hand and ran somewhere.
“What?”
She caressed my wrist, which she had just been holding, she questioned, and then she went into the hospital room.
If it comes to the fact that Eunbi’s father is coming down right now, she proposes to go up together in Eunbi’s father’s car.
So our first trip ended here.
*
Time goes by. A few days later
“Where…?”
Nayoung, who was lying on her bed in her naked body, asked me as I changed her clothes with her eyes half open from her fatigue.
“Yes. Eunbi called.”
“Eunbi…?”
“Maybe it’s because of the accident that happened last time.”
There was a very high probability that they called me privately like this without the other kids knowing because I saved Eunbi from a drowning accident while visiting Chaeyeon’s grandmother’s house.
Even if he didn’t know about the other kids, Eunbi seemed to draw a line with me strangely, and also, this was the first time she had contacted me personally.
“So I’ll be back. Sleep more.”
Nayoung still has a dreamy face.
She went over to her, pulled her hair back from her forehead, and brought her to her mouth to kiss her.
“Hehe… Yes… Go carefully.”
“Okay.”
Bashish in one kiss. He smiled and waved her hand.
She left her house and walked to the meeting place with Nayoung seeing her off.
Then I could see Eunbi there, who seemed to have come out earlier than the promised time and waited for me.
“Eunbi. Are you okay?”
I approached Eunbi and first asked about her physical condition.
“Heeek?! Ah… Jihoonie…! Uh, uhhh… Gwa, it’s okay…”
Eunbi didn’t even know I was coming, so she was startled, but she nodded her head, relieved that it was me.
“I’m glad. More than that, what day is it today? It’s so pretty.”
Usually, Eunbi only wants clothes she can wear, so she came out wearing only simple or plain clothes.
What a day it was today, it was pretty cute.
Rather than literally pretty, it’s really cute.
She doesn’t like being called small, so I said she was pretty.
“I, really…?”
He smiled brightly, as if all the black lumps deep inside his heart had been washed away.
“Yeah… I really don’t mean it.”
I don’t know why the kid is doing this all of a sudden.
Back in the day, no matter what I said, I didn’t care.
Could it be that it’s a swinging bridge effect, and that’s why he developed a crush on me after that?
“Hehe… Pretty… I’m pretty…!”
Eunbi smiled and held out a small box to me.
“This! That’s the reward!”
“What’s this? You don’t have to give it to me.”
“Ah, no…! Bah, accept it… Thank you… Yes… Thank you… Yes…”
The tone of his voice diminished as he went further.
And an unknown loneliness formed on his face.
“Well, then! Goodbye!”
As if she had done everything she had to do today, Eunbi turned around without regret.
Eunbi’s back was getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared completely.
“Yeah what.”
Could you have a crush on me?
If there was, I don’t think I would have just given a gift and left.
It must have been because she had an appointment, so she dressed up nicely.
Considering her personality, it might be something like meeting her family.
“It will be delicious.”
When I opened the box, it was full of cookies and chocolates.
I took out one by one to eat and was about to head home, but I suddenly remembered Chae-yeon’s face and moved to her house.
