Chapter 20

Part 19

It wasn’t just the patients.

Rather, there were far more carers than patients.

They were sitting all over the hospital like homeless people.

They were all refugees who had lost their homes.

Until the association prepared shelter, a space with a large site, such as a hospital or school, was designated as a temporary shelter for refugees.

Aurora Hospital was no exception.

As Park Hyunsoo stood still, speechless, a nurse approached him.

“Oh, Hyun-tae hyung.”

The nurse waved at Park Hyunsoo whether he knew him or not.

As Park Hyunsoo looked back at her, there was joy in his eyes as well.

“Nurse.”

In the sight that left her speechless, the nurse looked like a ray of light.

Even his younger brother, Park Hyun-tae, was in charge, so we had some close acquaintances.

“Did you come to see Hyun-tae?”

“After seeing Hyun-tae too, an acquaintance here is hospitalized this time.”

“Are you acquaintance? Please change your seat. As you can see here.”

The nurse looked at the refugees with sad eyes.

Park Hyunsoo seemed to sigh at the unfortunate situation, but he held it back because he feared that negative energy would be contagious.

“Let’s go.”

The two headed towards the relatively quiet nurse’s room.

All the other nurses were busy, so there was no one in the nurse’s room.

“What kind of patient did you visit?”

“My name is Chayun. I am a survivor of Gang Dong-gu.”

“Ah, that patient!”

The nurse seemed to know Cha-yoon.

“The person in charge from the association asked me to pay attention. He regained consciousness yesterday, and he was worried that he wouldn’t talk to anyone else.”

“I heard it too. Fortunately, it is not aphasia.”

“Yes. I can speak. Just because of a psychological problem. Did you hear about the brothers?”

“I heard that too.”

“Go and give me some strength.”

Park Hyunsoo quietly nodded his head.

* * *

I headed to Cha-yoon’s ward, which the nurse had informed me.

The room was room 407, which was quite a distance from the room where his younger brother, Hyun-tae, was hospitalized.

Yes, there is a difference of two floors.

When I quietly opened the door, there were more beds than I expected.

Given the circumstances, there were twice as many patients in one ward than before.

The guardians were also there, and the spacious hospital room seemed cramped.

It was also difficult to get inside.

On the floor, people were sleeping or resting on blankets.

It was not easy to find Cha-yun because the space she could walk on was limited.

[There it is.]

Then Chungyeong pointed to a corner.

I saw Chayun leaning back on the bed and looking out the window.

The dead eyes had no focus, and the skin was dull and lifeless.

Park Hyunsoo walked over there.

“Aww! Take a look below!”

“Sorry, I’m sorry.”

Then I accidentally stepped on someone’s foot.

Park Hyunsoo bowed his head ninety degrees in a row and apologized.I’m already sweating.

Park Hyunsoo stood next to Chayun’s bed, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Up to this point, Cha-yun didn’t even know that Park Hyunsoo had come.

[You are now emaciated.]

Chungyeong looked at her with her sad face.

Park Hyunsoo called her her.

“Chayun. what are you doing?”

Chayun slowly turned her head to look at Park Hyunsoo.

Her eyes stayed on Park Hyunsoo for a long time.

She then twisted her face a lot, biting her lips as if she was about to burst into tears.

“brother… … .”

Her voice was full of trembling, and she was wet as if she was wet.

Park Hyunsoo sat down next to her without a word.

He even stroked her hair.

“Good job.”

“Ugh… … the brothers… … my brothers What do you do, what do you do? Brothers and sisters… … Huh.”

Without a word, he wrapped his head around her and held her in his arms.

Chayun grabbed Park Hyunsoo’s hem and wept like her child.

My younger sisters said it was a big deal, how should I live in the world now, and why do I have to be unhappy?

Park Hyunsoo patted her on the back with a bitter face.

I couldn’t do anything other than that.

The current situation was too dire for a girl who was only 18 years old to handle.

Park Hyunsoo sighed briefly and looked around the room.

They too were in the same situation as Cha-yun.

She wasn’t well looked after, and she, like her, was crying over her desperate reality.

Everyone is busy with their lives, so it doesn’t matter if they cry right next to you.

Sorrow is contagious, but that depends on the circumstances.

Park Hyunsoo had no choice but to hug Chayun.

* * *

“Are you all crying?”

“sorry.”

In return for crying, Chayun’s voice went out.

The two went up to the public garden on the 5th floor to get some wind.

There were a lot of people here as well.

Three or three people in trouble were gathering and smoking cigarettes.

The two took their seats in a relatively empty and smoke-free area.

Park Hyunsoo opened the brought vitamin drink and gave it to Cha-yoon.

Cha-yun looked at the brown bottle blankly while receiving the drink.

“Still, I’m glad you talked to me.”

“… … I just didn’t want to say much. Where are your parents, what is your home address, and are there any other relatives who have been affected by the disaster? Just asking these questions didn’t feel worth answering. Hearing the condition of the younger brothers, my mentality went out.”

“Where are my brothers?”

“He’s at the Saseong Medical Center. Once hidden, you don’t know when your consciousness will wake up. They say you can live your whole life as a vegetative person.”

Cha-yoon was speaking bluntly, but her expression wasn’t like that at all.

“I just wished I was alive, but I’m still alive. what to say about this What the hell did I do wrong, this time to my younger brothers?”

Chayun turned his head in the opposite direction.

He struggled to hold back his tears, but it looked unbearable.

Park Hyunsoo was her one who understood her and could empathize with her.

He gently stroked Chayun’s shoulder without a word.

Unlike before, she sobbed and silenced her voice as much as possible.

How many times did she cry like that again?

The real Chayun snorted his nose and wiped the tears away.

“… … I can’t lose as much as my brothers.”

“okay.”

“Without my brothers, I would… … I am really alone.”

It was Cha-yoon who became the head of the family at a young age.

Even her situation was not different from her two years ago.

She would not be able to live in this world if she lost her family twice in her same catastrophe.

“You are resting here. I will come to see your brothers.”

If it’s Chayoon’s younger brothers, I’ve seen Park Hyunsoo many times.

They were good, gentle children.

The children who played quietly in the corner of the store so as not to be a nuisance to their sister, even became adults.

“Instead, you should look at my brother too.”

“Yes?”

“I have a younger brother in this hospital too.”

Just as Park Hyunsoo knew about Cha-yun, Cha-yun knew about him too.

Because the two were comrades.

“Is your brother in the hospital?”

“uh. Would you like to go see it together?”

Chayoon nodded slowly.

* * *

From the 6th floor of Aurora Hospital, all were private rooms.

As such, all the patients staying here were either seriously ill or had a lot of money.

Park Hyun-tae, of course, was seriously ill.

He was a dying patient who had been unconscious for over two years, and whose heart rate had been declining little by little every day.

The two carefully opened the door and entered the hospital room.

“Brother is here.”

Park Hyunsoo used to say hello every time he came here.

He unpacked his light luggage and beckoned to Cha-yoon, who was still standing outside.

She entered cautiously with her nervous face.

As she entered her hospital room, she had a slightly startled face.

The hospital room was more neatly decorated than expected.

A small flowerpot was placed next to the bed, and a humidifier was flowing like a painting by the window.

A soft orange light was illuminating the room as if the lighting was not from the hospital.

Cha-yun came to the center of the hospital room and saw Park Hyun-tae lying on the bed.

“You are sleeping hard.”

The features are similar to Park Hyunsoo.

However, his hair was shaved and he was wearing a gray beanie.

She thought for two years she was going to be vegan, but that wasn’t the case.

“It has been like this since two years ago. I don’t open my eyes, I don’t talk, I don’t snore her. Stay still like a corpse.”

I’d rather have a funeral if he was really dead.

“Is this hyung unable to leave because he’s worried, or is he hoarding his strength to wake up?”

“… … .”

Chayun couldn’t say that she was going to wake up.

If someone cheered her on her right away and said something like this to her, she would have only listened to her feelings of disappointment.

I thought Park Hyunsoo would be the same.

Park Hyunsoo smirked as if he had noticed Cha-yoon’s heart.

“Thank you. For taking care of me.”

“Yes? Oh no.”

“Well, just. Come and take a look whenever you have time. Until you are discharged.”

Park Hyunsoo raised the curtain.

The sun shone brightly in the hospital room.

Cha-yoon looked out of her window and took a step closer to Park Hyun-tae.

She introduced her self to him with a slightly embarrassed look.”nice to meet you. My name is Chayun. I am eighteen years old. Hyunsoo and I have known each other since last year. Please take good care of me. uh… … . I wish you all the best in the future.”

There was, of course, no answer.

Park Hyunsoo raised the corners of his lips looking at Cha-yoon like that.

* * *

“I’ll stay with him for a little while and then go straight to the Saseong Medical Center.”

“all right. to my brothers… … please say hi.”

“do not worry.”

“then.”

Chayun bowed his head and turned around.

Park Hyunsoo was about to go back to the hospital room, but Cha-yoon turned around and called him up.

“Hyunsoo oppa.”

“Why?”

“By the way, what kind of relationship do you have with the people of that association? They were very nice to me by mentioning Hyunsoo oppa. Have you ever met people who were supporters?”

For that reason, the pretty female hunter looked pretty high in her position.

Park Hyunsoo was about to answer, but he just told the truth.

At first, Chayun thought he had heard something wrong and asked, ‘Yes?’

“Your brother is awake. Somehow.”

“Eh?”

* * *

He completely returned Cha-yun and sat down in front of his younger brother.

Park Hyunsoo looked at Park Hyun-tae’s calm face and said to his teacher.

“Somehow, I just say hi. This is my younger brother, Park Hyun-tae.”



[I’ve already heard of it, boy.]

Chungyeong was looking down at Park Hyun-tae from the other side.

“sorry. I should have said hello first, but this is the situation.”

[Hmm.]

At Chungyeong’s moan, Park Hyunsoo looked at him.

Chungyeong was looking around Park Hyun-tae with a mysterious face.

She then opened her mouth.

[It’s been like this for two years?]

“Is that so?”

[I’ve been feeling it before.]

“Do you feel something?”

Park Hyunsoo felt unusual in his words.

Chungyeong rubbed his chin and looked at Park Hyunsoo.

[Something is at stake in this child’s heart.]

“Yes?!”

[It was vague because I didn’t look closely, but I can tell by looking at it myself. An unknown force ‘sealed’ her heart.]

“Hey, is it a seal? What on earth is that power that sealed Hyeontae’s heart?”

[How do you know this? You know better.]

That was correct.

But I didn’t really know Park Hyunsoo.

At the time, he lived alone.

He had only heard the news that his parents had passed away and that his younger brother had fallen into a domestic state.

“How, there is no way to unlock the seal?”

[I can’t say for sure, but I can’t say not at all.]

“Ji, are you serious?”

[Heavenly Demon Prince’s unlocking technique would be able to break this seal.]

“Haegeumsul?”

[Called the break of heaven.][I found out about the existence of the legendary skill ‘Cutting Heaven (天言斷切)’.]
