Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 551

After filling their stomachs at the rest stop, the [Fire] team hit the road again. This time, Park Woo-jin took the driver’s seat.

“Is this the new song by Blue Moon?”

“Yes, it is.”

The speaker played the new song by Blue Moon, who had just made a comeback. It was a catchy dance song with more mass appeal than their previous songs. Everyone nodded their heads and followed the rhythm.

Seo-jun also sang along lightly and remembered the celebration party that the Blue Moon members had thrown after they swept the charts from first to tenth place. He shouted, ‘Ahh! They’re crazy!!’

They enjoyed the upbeat song and chatted about various things. They also stopped by some rest stops on their way to the destination where the filming set was.

“We just need to pass through this tunnel ahead.”

Hwang Do-yoon’s words made Seo-jun, who was holding the steering wheel, nod.

They had been taking turns driving, and now it was Seo-jun’s turn. Hwang Do-yoon, who had been a bit worried, relaxed in the passenger seat as he saw Seo-jun’s smooth driving skills.

“You’re good at this.”

“I practiced a lot after getting my license. There were some big cars in the company, so it was easy to practice.”

“Entertainers’ cars are big, huh?”

“Very much so.”

Seo-jun smiled and looked ahead.

He could see buildings of various sizes, as well as shops like hospitals, restaurants, and convenience stores. The weather seemed to have gotten colder, as he saw people who looked like the locals wrapped in thick clothes.

“We have to come all the way here to buy things. See that mart over there?”

Hwang Ji-yoon, who was sitting in the back seat, said that. The fourth-year students from the stage art department, who had come with Hwang Ji-yoon to scout the house that would be used as the filming set and measured its interior dimensions, also chimed in.

“It would be better to buy everything at once. It’s winter, so it won’t spoil easily.”

“We don’t have anything to buy today, right?”

They were discussing what to have for dinner tonight.

Seo-jun felt a strange sensation.

It was a very, very small movement that he could have missed, but Seo-jun was a top-notch ability user who could open the door to the highest level. He immediately looked in that direction.

A figure in the distance.

He saw a woman sitting on a bench with a tree shade.

As Seo-jun’s car moved, it got closer and closer to where the woman was. The woman, who was holding her belly with both arms and bowing her head slightly, didn’t move at all.

He could have just passed by, but the energy that touched Seo-jun was very small, thin, and pitiful.

[The White Tiger’s Eye of the (Fire) Village Representative is activated.]

Seo-jun’s eyes shone brightly.

Soon, his expression hardened.

The woman was covered in thick clothes, so it wasn’t noticeable, but she was pregnant and in bad shape.

“I’m going to park the car for a moment.”

“Huh?”

The seniors, who were arguing over whether to have pork belly with soju or beer, turned their heads at Seo-jun’s words. Seo-jun, who was holding the steering wheel, parked the car a little away from the pregnant woman.

“What’s wrong?”

Hwang Do-yoon, who was wearing a hat and getting out of the car, asked Seo-jun.

“That woman over there, she doesn’t look well. Ji-yoon, please come with me.”

He thought it would be better to go with Hwang Ji-yoon, who was a woman, than with the big-bodied fourth-year students from the stage art department and Park Woo-jin.

“Do-yoon, please call 119.”

“Uh, uh. Okay. Got it.”

Hwang Ji-yoon, who had heard the story, had already gotten out of the car and ran to the pregnant woman. Seo-jun followed her. Hwang Do-yoon quickly picked up his phone and called 119.

Hwang Ji-yoon approached the woman and bent down slightly to talk to her.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“………….”

The woman wrapped around his stomach moaned shallowly. Despite the cold weather, she was visibly sweating. Huang Ziyun calmed his nerves and spoke calmly.

Seo-jun knelt down in front of the woman and asked her as he released his healing power. It was not a cure, but it would help the woman and her unborn child.

“You don’t have to answer me. I’ve called an ambulance and they’ll be here soon. Just hang in there until then.”

“Do you have a phone? Is there anyone you can contact right now? I think you should let them know.”

The woman’s face, which had turned blue from the lack of oxygen, looked a bit better thanks to Seo-jun’s power.

She seemed to be in a lot of pain, as she could barely breathe. She finally took a shallow breath and exhaled.

She pointed at her bag with her trembling hand. She tried to open her mouth, but then raised her hand slightly.

She was pointing at the speed dial number one with her finger.

Seo-jun quickly dialed the number. The call was answered after one ring.

-Honey? Are you there already? Are you cold?

A man’s voice, full of affection, made Seo-jun speak up.

“I’m a passerby. Your wife is in a bad condition, so I called you instead. I’ve called an ambulance, but I think it would be better for her to talk to you.”

-What? Yes? Yes?

The man, who was expecting to hear his wife’s voice, was startled by the unfamiliar voice, but he calmed down when Seo-jun explained the situation again. No, he seemed more panicked.

-Is, is she very bad?

“She’s better than before. I’ll switch to speaker mode. Please say something to reassure her.”

Seo-jun switched to speaker mode and placed the phone on the woman’s lap. The woman’s hand, still shaking, reached for the phone.

-Honey. Are you okay?

She sobbed as she heard her husband’s voice.

-It’s okay. It’s okay. There’s someone helping you. The ambulance will be here soon. Don’t worry.

The husband’s voice was wet with tears, but he tried to sound calm, remembering what Seo-jun had said. The woman looked relieved by his voice.

Seo-jun and Hwang Ji-yoon sighed in relief. They felt the cold wind.

“I have some hot packs and blankets in the car. I’ll get them.”

“Okay.”

Hwang Ji-yoon got up quickly and headed to the car. Hwang Do-yoon, who was on the phone with 119, came over.

“The ambulance is coming soon. They asked about the patient’s condition.”

They had to give emergency treatment over the phone if the condition was critical.

Seo-jun asked softly.

“Can you tell me where it hurts?”

“…My…my stomach…”

The woman was able to speak briefly, which meant her condition had improved.

“…My baby…our baby…”

But as the pain that had blinded her faded, she had time to think. And that made her more emotional.

She heard people gasping around her. It was the surprised voices of Hwang Do-yoon and the people who had gathered.

They were suspicious of the two men who got out of the large van and approached the woman sitting alone on the bench. They had been watching them carefully and slowly getting closer.

Hwang Do-yoon reported to 119 in a panicked voice that the patient was pregnant.

“I brought the hot packs and blankets!”

Hwang Ji-yoon came with the hot packs, along with Park Woo-jin, who had the blankets, the fourth-year students from the stage art department, and the art team members. They wrapped the woman’s body with the blanket and gave her a hot pack in her pale hand.

Seo-jun looked into the eyes of the woman who was crying nonstop and spoke softly.

“It’s okay. The ambulance is almost here. Don’t cry like this. It’s hard for you and the baby. You’re less in pain now, right? The baby will be fine too.”

The woman’s heart, which had been fluctuating, gradually calmed down. Her stomach was definitely less painful than before. She didn’t know if this was a sign of improvement, but she trusted the words of the person who helped her.

‘So…baby…please…’

She heard her husband’s voice over the phone, trying to comfort her. She gently hugged her stomach. And she looked up at the person who helped her.

She couldn’t see his face well because of her tearful eyes. But she could tell that he had a comforting smile. He seemed to shine because he helped her in this emergency.

“Th-thank you…really…really thank you…”

“Don’t mention it. The baby is strong and loves you very much, so you don’t have to worry.”

The woman smiled at Seo-jun’s words.

She had heard the same thing at the hospital. The baby only kicked when she raised her hand, and her husband was a bit jealous.

“That’s right…that’s why we named him Tuntun…”

“He looks like he’ll be good at sports. Maybe he’ll be a national representative someday?”

The woman chuckled at Seo-jun’s playful remark. The seniors also joined in.

“Since it’s Gangwon-do, winter sports might be good…”

“How about figure skating?”

They were chatting about the future that might or might not happen, trying to ease the woman’s mind, when

“Brother, when is the ambulance coming?”

“They said they’ll be here as soon as possible.”

Hwang Do-yoon and Hwang Ji-yoon went out to the road and looked at the end to see if the ambulance was coming.

Woo woo woo!!

They heard a welcome sound. The [Fire] team and the worried residents greeted the sound with bright faces.

“Oh. They’re here.”

“But they came really fast. The hospital is pretty far from here.”

The woman felt relieved. Her husband also heard the sound of the ambulance and sounded relieved.

-Honey. Everything will be okay now.

“Uh-huh…”

The woman answered with a bright face.

***

Hwang Ji-yoon blinked her eyes at the approaching ambulance. Hwang Do-yoon had the same expression.

“…Hwang Do-yoon, what did you say on the phone?”

“…I just said there was a pregnant woman…”

“Did you say there was a war or something?”

“…No.”

Woo woo woo!!

The sound grew louder and louder. They also heard the sirens and beeps.

“Why are there so many fire trucks and ambulances!?”

Hwang Ji-yoon yelled at the fire trucks and ambulances that filled the road and rushed over. Hwang Do-yoon also looked flustered.

The residents who had been listening to Seo-jun and the seniors’ stories and saying ‘Health is the best.’ and ‘Yeah. Don’t put pressure on the baby with gold medals and national representatives!’ also looked surprised at the fire trucks and ambulances that were coming from afar.

It looked like there was really a war, as Hwang Ji-yoon said.

“Well, let’s call them anyway.”

Hwang Do-yoon waved his arm in confusion on the road.

She was about to shout ‘Here!’ when a siren blared and an ambulance and a fire truck zoomed past. Several more fire trucks and ambulances followed.

What…what’s going on?

Seo-jun and the woman looked at the fire trucks and ambulances that sped by with bewildered faces. The husband on the phone, who didn’t know the situation, kept babbling ‘Did you get on the ambulance? Are you okay? Which hospital are you going to?’

Wondering what was happening,

“…Do-yoon-”

‘Hyung.’ He was about to call him, but Seo-jun’s phone rang.

“Yes?”

Who is it? He was about to take out his phone, but Hwang Ji-yoon’s phone rang. Hwang Do-yoon’s phone rang. The phones of the art team members, Park Woo-jin, and the fourth-year students from the stage art department rang at the same time. And some of the residents’ phones rang too.

The phones were ringing loudly, and not only Seo-jun, but everyone else swallowed nervously. It seemed like something bad was happening.

Seo-jun looked at his phone. It was An Da-ho.

“Yes, I’m-”

-Seo-jun! Are you okay!?

…Ho hyung.

Seo-jun rolled his eyes at An Da-ho’s urgent voice.

“Yes. I’m fine.”

-Are you hurt anywhere? No, where are you now? Did you get out of the car?

An Da-ho’s voice, which poured out questions, was trembling like he had never heard before. He didn’t know what was going on, but he sounded like he was about to cry. Seo-jun answered quickly.

“Yes. I’m not hurt. I got out of the car for a while because something happened.”

-…Is it the tunnel?

“? No. It’s the town right in front of the tunnel.”

It was a strange question, but Seo-jun answered sincerely.

-Haah…Thank goodness.

Seo-jun tilted his head at the deep sigh of relief.

“What’s wrong? Da-ho hyung?”

-…A little while ago, at the tunnel you were about to pass…

An Da-ho spoke in a weak voice, as if he was relieved. Seo-jun was shocked by what he said.

-There was a nine-car pileup.
