Kai stayed in the hospital room all night to be with Hyomi alone. The female staff had wanted to accompany her, but Hyomi's physique and psychological condition still needed company. Even that must be accompanied by a trusted person.Kai slept on the large sofa. As the night stretched on, Kai didn't sleep. He just watched her fall asleep until a small voice from Hyomi was heard. The man responsively approached. Sitting on a chair right next to the bed."Did you miss me?" Kai asked Hyomi. He held out his hand. The fingers moved slowly to remove some of Hyomi's hair that was covering her eyes."My Jong," Hyomi said softly."Would you like something to drink?" Kai offered with a small nod from the woman.Kai returned quickly after pouring mineral water from the bottle into the glass. He helped Hyomi to sip it slowly. Kai also grabbed a tissue and directed it at each corner of Hyomi's lips.The warmth of the little Jong figure who always took good care of Hyomi was still lingering. "You
Mira was seen in the foyer of the villa with Mr. Producer to discuss many things related to her new project work to continue Hyomi's hard work while the xD members were resting, then they visited Hyomi."Are you sure you can make your style like Hyomi?" Mr. Producer tried to be sure because he was already satisfied with her hard work."What if I make my style? It feels unnatural if I have to follow Homi's style." Mira tried to open up other possibilities.Mr. Producer groaned in annoyance. "Mira, I don't mean to patronize you. But since the beginning of this show, Hyomi has done well even during the live broadcast, fans have praised her. So, I want you to make it as similar as possible in your delivery."Mira pondered. She contemplated a few things."I'm sorry, but this is for the good of all of us. You know, right? The recent events have traumatized a lot of people. We have to redo a lot of things. Again, you also survived all this, right?" she continued."I know. I understand it very
Hyomi realized something. Jun Park. Where was she? Hyomi's eyeballs rolled, searching in all directions. Amongst the crowds and laughter that filled the room, Hyomi couldn't find her. That sent her heart into turmoil."Is she avoiding me?" she muttered to herself."Hyomi! Can I hug you?" pleaded Byun, surprising the entire room."Huh?" Hyomi did not digest Byun's words. Her mind was wandering."Hey, guys, it's a friendly hug." Byun immediately made his intentions clear as he felt the intimidating stares from all of them. "You guys know, right? We filmed a long time on this island together and grew up as good friends, even like family.""Then so did I." Dion came forward first."I'll do it!""I'll go first."Suddenly all the xD members wanted to hug Hyomi while she just stared at the empty air. She still hadn't digested the situation. Occasionally she would only smile blandly."Jong, let us hug her," Sean whined adorably.At first, Kai was choked up by the question that seemed to make
Mira stared at her phone in silence as she drew uncertain strokes of anxiety. She occasionally bit her lower lip."Mira!"Hyuk's exclamation instantly made Mira flinch and shoved the cell phone back into her bag, a streak of awkward blush on her face."Wh-What?" asked Mira with certainty.Hyuk brought the cell phone. "Look! The police have checked the number that terrorized Hyomi!""A-Ah? Really?" Mira was suddenly speechless."Come on! We have to tell the others right away!" Hyuk said, rushing away quickly.Even Mira followed behind Hyuk's fast pace. She tried to keep up with him. "What did the police say?""We'll talk about it together.""In front of the xD members too?" Mira braked her steps.Hyuk turned around. "Of course. They have to know so that they can also warn those diehard fans. xD has an important role to play in this. And I'm sure it's probably not just Hyomi who is experiencing this."Mira could not reply. She only pondered while digesting the whole sentence of her coll
After much discussion in private, the xD members then returned to the villa with Hyuk. While Mira was still there, sowing her longing and worry for Hyomi. "You don't have to be afraid, Hyomi. We'll all support you, help you. Understand?" Mira gave her friend strength.Hyomi nodded while shedding tears of emotion. "Thank you."Mira gently rubbed the back of Hyomi's hand. "Don't worry. I'll catch him for you."Hyomi frowned. "What are you doing? You just focus on your work.""I'll confirm the culprit with my own eyes. The culprit is still here, Hyomi.""I know. But you have to work.""My purpose in coming here was also to protect you. I can't leave you alone!"Hyomi smiled while wiping away tears. "You see, I have people who protect me.""Argh!" Hyomi groaned as Mira pushed her forehead. "It hurts!" she whined."What?! You're already getting cocky even when you and Jun love each other?!" screeched Mira with her arms around her waist. Even Hyomi could only stare while raising one eyebro
Walking is the best way to explore every nook and cranny along the way.It allows travelers to see and experience things that are very likely to be missed in their vehicles. The pleasures that nature gives us - the sound of grass swaying in the wind, kicking a small pebble and watching it roll, and the fresh air released by plants and forests - can only be felt while walking."Are you xD-L?" asked Jun suddenly approaching Mira."Ah, yes!" gasped Mira. "How did you know? Did Hyomi say that?"Jun smiled and nodded, his steps still vigorously treading the wind-blown path. "It's just that you're acting casual.""Me?" Mira pointed at herself. "Ah, how can I be excited when my friend is hurt."Jun was moved. "You are a good friend."Mira was stunned. She smiled faintly, then quickly looked away in the other direction, swallowing all the awkward atmosphere while staring at the ocean that stretched out in her view from up there."Thank you for coming here."That sentence made Mira turn her h
The egg-red color managed to dominate the sky. A sign that the sun will shift with the arrival of the moon. Everyone went back to the hotel to clean up after a long day of fighting the summer bind.But for Jun, that was the last straw. The only thing on his mind was Hyomi. He was alone there.Jun couldn't let that happen. The police were there, but inside the room, Hyomi was alone. That sparked a flame of unease."Will I be able to come back tomorrow?" Hyomi asked Doctor Yoo with all her hopes. "I feel fine, Doc.""That's just how you feel. You still need a lot of rest, Miss," said Dr. Yoo.The doctor's words brought a deep sense of disappointment to Hyomi. She could no longer stand this silence, alone in a big room with nothing to do. The smell of antiseptic continued to tickle. Hyomi, who had always moved around busily, now had to be shackled in silence. Perhaps only in the company of the television."But, doc..." Hyomi pursed her lips like a child. The doctor rubbed Hyomi's head l
This afternoon the sun was hot. Its rays penetrated every crevice of Hyomi's hospital room. She sat on her bed, gazing in all directions while occasionally snorting softly. The rumble of thunder was busy rumbling in her mind. All the memories of 16 years ago returned to play in Hyomi's brain. All this time, she had always hoped to meet Jong. Too many good things he did. This monolid-eyed woman deliberately never shared her heart with other men. All of this is dedicated only to Jong. But somehow, when Jun was present, everything felt so difficult. especially to get rid of the image of that handsome man from the recesses of her heart. No one interrupted her. Suddenly Jun's figure was lodged in her heart. Then what about Jong? Hyomi massaged her forehead slowly, just for relaxation to reduce the chaos that was wracking her."What should I do?" Hyomi wondered, then blinked. "Why am I being like this? Does Jong like me?"Hyomi chuckled. She laughed at herself. "Wake up, Hyomi! Jong is m
