After coming out, the cool breeze blew across my cheeks.

If the nurse knew that Do-hyun came out alone, she would hear a word, but she would come out quietly before being discovered, and then go in quietly, so it doesn't matter.

Dohyun moved towards the park he often went to.

The small park near the hospital is a place where patients in the hospital often take a walk.

It’s nice that no one cares about the white hospital gown.

Walking on the path, Dohyun sat on a bench panting and stared blankly at the people passing in front of me.

The faces of family members walking away smiling affectionately.

He seemed to dislike something, with a frown on his face.

A tired face.

The faces of lovers joking and laughing at each other.

Their faces became diverse as Dohyun's expressions met.

Just like changing a mask at random, the expression changes instantly.

The boy's changing expression was a spectacle, but no one noticed it because the street lighting next to the bench was out of order.

Dohyun's expression, which had been changing, stopped when the phone in his pocket vibrated.

[Mom]

After a month, the name of the sender appeared on the phone screen, which made Dohyun's expression turn cold.

Dohyun pressed the blue phone shape and held the phone to his ear

-……ah. Dohyun, you got it.

Even though I called myself, my voice was still a bit harsh.

Dohyun replied calmly

"Yes."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.

-All right. How is your health?

Although it was Dohyun who couldn't even get out of bed not long ago, I knew that my mother was not really curious about asking.

Dohyun gave the answer the other party wanted without any particular interest.

"It doesn't matter"

-How are you and Kelly doing?

"Yes"

-All right. I'm having a good time, I'm relieved. Luckily I have good people around me. Because you are far away and your mother and father cannot be with you.

Do Hyun didn’t answer that sentence.

Hearing Dohyun's reaction, the avatar on the phone said it defensively.

-Mom and dad are also worried about Dohyun, so they want to stay with her. You know you can't do it because of work, right?

"Yes I know"

-All right. Just call if anything happens...

The slightly muddy voice at the end of the words stopped temporarily, and continued after a while.

-There's something wrong with mom. I have to go, Dohyun.

"Yes"

-Then...then I'm done. Good luck.

After Daoxian said this, he slowly put down the mobile phone on his ear while hanging up the phone.

Then he stuffed it into his pocket as if nothing had happened, stood up from the bench and continued walking.

Although his expressionless face looked the same as usual, Dohyun, who had taken about five steps, stood still.

The desire to take a walk disappeared

"Let's go back."

In order to return to the ward, he turned around and saw a shaky man walking into the field of vision.

"Is he a drunk?"

Because it was dinner time, there were many people drinking and hanging out.

This is a very common sight. The strange thing is that I can't take my eyes away from the man.

I feel like there is something strange attracting me.

It's the feeling of facing the first time in my life. , Daoxian unknowingly got closer to the man.

Daoxian's face was a little stiff.

The movements of the man who simply thought he was a drunkard were strange.

Unconsciously, his pace quickened.

"Hello! Are you okay?"

The man raised his head, and their eyes met.

Daoxian's eyes became bigger.

The man and Daoxian were from the same Oriental. Moreover, his face and neck were completely soaked with sweat and turned white.

Daoxian said anxiously

"Can you hear my voice? There's a hospital ahead. I'll call someone. Please wait."

"……Do not call me"

"What?"

No matter who it is, don't call me."

Dohyun hesitated in a panic. He looked like he was about to faint. He said don't call anyone and didn't know what to do.

Unknowingly, , I even forgot the fact that I cared too much about others.

Woo hoo.

The man’s groan made me wake up.

Then, let me help you go to the hospital.

"Okay...hmm."

The man's words made me depressed.

The man who saw Do-hyun with a serious expression smiled. That smile left Do-hyun speechless.

"Are you laughing now?"

"No, because your expression is too serious. Well. Joe...stop putting on a serious face, it's too funny."

That sentence made Dohyun frown. He panted and said it was nonsense.

""Strange man" saw Doxian's wonderfully twisted expression and laughed again. The man put his arm around Doxian's shoulders.

The sudden contact made Doxian as hard as a stone.

"What to do? Didn’t you say you wanted to help me?"

"Ah, okay. Then go to the hospital……"

Dohyun awkwardly grabbed the man's arm and tried to move his feet, but the man's words stopped him

"No, not a hospital. ah. I like the bench over there. Send me there"

"What about the hospital?"

"Just rest for a while."

Although Daoxian felt that the man's words were not credible, he felt that the man would not give up his stubbornness easily, so he helped the man and took him to the bench.

Because the height difference between the man and Daoxian was huge, they were almost at the same level as him walking.

Not noticing this, the man secretly swallowed his smile when he saw Do-hyun trying to move his feet.

Poof - the man sat down as if he had collapsed on a bench.

Do-hyun hesitated in front of him

"Shouldn't we take him to the hospital now?"

It can be seen that the man's face is not very good.

When Daoxian was thinking about this, the man patted the place next to me.

"Come and sit too."

Dohyun, who was slightly troubled, sat a little away from the man.

Sitting on the bench and observing the man's face carefully, Dohyun realized that the man was younger than he thought. He must be in his early 20s.

He felt that the stranger was very close to him. Miraculously, just staring, after a while, the eyebrows twisted in pain returned to their neat shape.

"thank you for your help. I didn't expect to see the same Oriental here. My name is Zheng Xicheng. And you?"

Do Hyun was a little surprised that Jung Hee Sung was Korean. Do Hyun gave up English and answered in Korean

"I am Lee Do Hyun."

Zheng Xicheng was a little slow to react to the Korean language he suddenly heard.

"ah? Are you Korean too?"

"Yes."

Strictly speaking, although it is a dual nationality, the Koreans are not wrong.

"What a coincidence. The children I met in the park turned out to be of the same nationality. I was happy to hear Korean for the first time."

I didn't expect that Dohyun would also talk in Korean here, so it felt a bit magical.

"But why are you here...ah."

Jung Hee-sung noticed Do-hyun's clothes very late and spoke slurredly.

Do-hyun went through that reaction with familiarity

"What a magical coincidence"

"What's wrong?"

"I am also a patient in that hospital."

Hearing Zheng Xicheng's words, Daoxian's eyes widened.

Zheng Xicheng felt that the expression was like a frightened rabbit.

Daoxian's eyes met Zheng Xicheng's trousers.

Because he was wearing a long coat, he didn't know it, but he could vaguely see it The ends of the clothes are the same as Dohyun’s design

"Why were you hospitalized?"

"Because of illness. Because there is a relatively rare disease. Ah, it's not contagious."

Hearing that sentence, Daoxian understood.

Daoxian, who had been in the hospital for a long time, had never seen anyone suffering from a rare disease.

"Benjamin was talking about this man."

Then, I also accepted the fact that Daoxian had never met Zheng Xicheng. Because this man had just come here not long ago.

Daoxian, who continued to think, realized that he cared too much about this man.

Because it looked painful?

Because he suffered from the same disease A sick person?

Do-hyun, who was thinking about various thoughts and trying to deduce his behavior, saw Jung Hee-sung sitting next to me and strengthened his body.

Because he did not avoid me.

Jeong Hee-sung had no taboo against Do-hyun.

Yes Ah, I care so much because I treat myself so naturally.

Dohyun asked with an expression of disbelief.

"Am I inconvenient?"

As he spoke, Daoxian felt a little heartbroken.

"It would be alarming to ask such a question suddenly."It's hard to answer,"

Dohyun added, clearing up the mess.

"I'm just saying that if it's inconvenient for me to be next to you, I'll give you my seat."

I'll let you go now.

Daoxian has been waiting for Zheng Xicheng's answer, but the answer he got was completely different from what he expected.

"What's wrong? Just sit there."

Absent-minded tone, absent-minded expression.

In order to measure Dohyun's sincerity, Zheng Xicheng looked at it blankly and finally said what he wanted to say

"Don't you think I'm unhappy? It doesn't matter to tell the truth."

"Ah?"

Zheng Xicheng looked at Daoxian with a speechless expression.

"Am I not so trashy that I hate helping my kids?"

"It's not that kind of question."

Although I don't know what the question is, what is certain is that I don't hate you, and it doesn't matter if you sit there all the time.

On the contrary, I am more magical...

Zheng Xicheng muttered quietly.

Although Daoxian did not hear the voice, Zheng Xicheng did not answer , but replaced him with a wonderful smile.

Daoxian suppressed the strange mood and blinked.

Even the child whose parents are taboo.

That is himself.

Benjamin, who is working hard to cure Daoxian's disease, does not want to be with Daoxian. Walking for more than a distance, let alone Kelly. All of

Kelly's previous caregivers combined, it's not Kelly's fault.

In that case, I gradually gave up on being accepted by others.

But.

Suddenly I felt a heat on my head. The heat was overwhelming.

Dohyun's thoughts that had been stretching were forced to stop.

Jung Hee-sung, who messed up Dohyun's hair, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

I don't know what you are trying to think about. Children are not thinking seriously.

Hear With this sentence, the moment Daoxian was about to answer something, Daoxian's cell phone rang.

Daoxian, who took out his mobile phone, saw the name appearing on the screen and wrinkled his eyes reflexively.

"Not answering the phone?"

Hearing that sentence, Daoxian slowly raised the phone.

As soon as he received the call, he heard a familiar voice

-Dohyun! Where did you go!

I'm coming to the park, Helia

-I told you not to walk alone

"sorry."

The plan was to go back undetected, but it was completely screwed up.

-Haha, really... it's a park, right? do not move! I'll go over there

"No, I'll go in now."

It was hard to convince Daoxian to leave quickly. When he was going back, he was caught by Haelia. The thought of listening to her nagging made him a little discouraged.

"Did you sneak out?"

"Yes."

Although his face was still expressionless and his voice was light, Zheng Xicheng seemed to see a dejected tail.

Zheng Xicheng said with a smile

"Before you get punished again, let's go in and take a look."

"And you?"

My face is better now, but I almost fainted just now.

Because I suffer from the same disease, I fully understand how serious the pain is when it suddenly comes.

Sometimes the pain disappears instantly, but there is no guarantee that it will not come back.

In response to Daoxian's question, Zheng Xicheng said after worrying for a while.

Then should I go in together?

"Yes."

Zheng Xicheng laughed at the unhesitating answer.

"Okay, let's go together then"

""Hey, hey", Zheng Xicheng stood up.

Until just now, he seemed to be fine. It was hard to think of him as a person who was sweating in pain.

"Is it okay?"

Do Hyun looked at Jung Hee Sung with suspicious eyes, but he said this and that calmly as if nothing had happened. It was the first time Do Hyun had an ordinary conversation with others without negative emotions. At a certain moment, he forgot about Jeong Hee Sung's state and fell into In the middle of the conversation.

As we chatted like this, we arrived at the hospital in a blink of an eye.

Is it so close from the park to the hospital?

Daoxian's expression became gloomy.

"I want to stay a little longer."

But it seemed that only Dohyun thought so.

Unconsciously, Jung Hee-sung, who had boarded the elevator, looked down at Dohyun.

"Which floor are you on?"

Dohyun, who was a little sad, replied in a low voice.

"7th floor"

"7th floor? I am also on the 7th floor"

"…Yeah?"

Dohyun's face lit up again.

"What's the date?"

"No. 714, what about you?"

"No. 703"

"It's not enough to be in the same hospital. It's amazing that they are on the same floor."

"yes."

Daoxian said a little happily.

The elevator stopped on the 7th floor. Daoxian who stopped in front of his ward looked back at Zheng Xicheng.

Daoxian looked at himself a little hesitantly. Zheng Xicheng slowly waited for Daoxian.

"that……"

"Well, what's wrong?"

Daoxian, who took a deep breath for the time being, tried to hide his trembling heart and asked cautiously.

"Can I go to the ward tomorrow?"

Unexpectedly, Zheng Xicheng instantly became stiff. In response to this reaction, Dohyun regretted saying it.

"That's all for nothing."Just go by as usual and be happy with yourself……"

Daoxian was blaming himself in his heart, but Zheng Xicheng, who was as stiff as ice, suddenly smiled happily.

For the first time, someone smiled at him, and Daoxian was momentarily speechless.

Well, let's play.

Dohyun felt like crying for some reason.

And it’s really weird, I feel like the man in front of me wants to cry too

"It’s impossible."

Anyway, a lot of strange things happened today, and it felt too emotional.

Dohyun tried his best to express his thoughts.

"But there is a condition"

"Conditions?"

Hearing what Zheng Xicheng said, Daoxian was a little nervous.

Conditions?

I can't imagine what is expected of me.

Seeing Daoxian like this, Zheng Xicheng smiled slightly

"Call me brother, don’t call me ruthless and say it’s you"

"…Not brother, not uncle?"

In Dohyun's eyes, although Zheng Xicheng's conscience was a little hurt, he still firmly put forward his opinion

"Then don't come and play."

Dohyun blinked.

""So childish."

Unknowingly, Daoxian thought so and said with a somewhat ambiguous expression.

Got it, brother. See you tomorrow.

"oh oh. OK"

After the greeting, Zheng Xicheng, who entered Daoxian's room and waved goodbye to Daoxian, put down his hand.

Looking at the closed door, Zheng Xicheng thought.

Is it a cold expression...?

Zheng Xicheng stared at the closed door blankly.
