ED:

Of course, youre going to take care of the surgery costs, right? But I dont want to be in debt like that. And as for covering the surgery costs myself, the money Ive saved so far is-

What? Puhahaha!

And at that, Ram Hwayeon burst into laughter.

Leeha had seen her laugh many times, but never like this. It was a laugh that embarrassed even Leeha standing in front of her.

It took a few minutes before Ram Hwayeon, after her bout of laughter, spoke.

Did you really think I was going to do that?

What, what?

Leeha, you still have a long way to go. Yes, a long way.

What do you mean a long way?

Of course, in terms of investing in you, the surgery cost isnt much for me. But did you really think I was going to cover all the expenses?

Then-

Leehas face flushed red. So it wasnt that? She didnt invite him for a free surgery?

Ram Hwayeon, seeing Leehas confusion, laughed again and said,

Do you know how much the gold from Castle Dale you left behind, including your voyages to the New Continent, has accumulated? Just with that, most of the surgery costs can be covered. I intentionally didnt mention it, and since there was no talk about Castle Dale and considering the fact that I invited you to Hong Kong, I thought you wouldve caught on. You really are below expectations at times like this, arent you?

Oppas a dud.

Right, Hwajung-ah?

Yep. Clueless. Ram Hwajung chimed in, laughing along with Ram Hwayeon. Leeha then remembered the matter of Castle Dale.

Ah, that- so then-

Its a bit short, actually. But considering how youve helped us so far, the remaining part will be taken from your future settlements from Castle Dale. Where else can you find a hospital that allows you to pay in installments like this? Especially for a surgery under Doctor Heinrich.

Ram Hwayeon was indeed Ram Hwayeon. Listening to her words, Leehas face lit up with joy. So he wouldnt have to bear the mental burden anymore. Could he really receive such unexpected surgery here?

Ram Hwayeon-ssi!

What, youre going to hug me while sitting in that wheelchair?

Huh?

Leeha, who was about to give a hug of joy, hesitated and stopped the wheelchair. Ram Hwayeon took a couple of steps back from him and turned her head to the side.

Then she said in a voice as tiny as an ants, Ah, give me a hug after your legs are healed and you can stand up. Ah, its hot! Jachung! Start the hospitalization procedures for Leeha. Ah, Master Kay, Ill arrange a room for you in the hotel right next door. That should do, right? It was warm compared to Korea, but still winter by Hong Kong standards.

Ram Hwayeon hurriedly left, fanning herself with her hand. Left without someone to share his joy, Leeha turned to Kijung in a rush (?).

Kijung was almost crying.

Hyung.

Kijung-ah

Hyyyyyyyyyung

Kijung-ah!

Kijung bent down as much as he could and hugged Leeha. Leeha patted the back of his younger cousin. It was unclear whether he was comforting Kijung or trying to hold back his own tears.

Ram Hwajung was grumbling, I, I mean.

Are you really okay with this, Director? Theres no turning back now.

I know. Ah, dont mention anything about Peng to Leeha.

Nara quickly put her ear to the speaker of the smartphone.

Kijung: Is something wrong?

No, why would something be wrong? Just called because I was bored. What are you doing right now, Kijung-ssi?

Kijung: Ah, Im in Hong Kong right now.

Yes, thats what I thought.

Kijung: What? What do you mean by that?

Kijung was already puzzled by the sudden call, and now he couldnt understand what she meant!

His voice shook with confusion.

Bobae barely held back her laughter, while Nara was chuckling beside her.

Thats what I mean, what are you doing in Hong Kong?

Kijung: Ah, I was just about to leave the accommodation-

As much as I dislike Petyr, I get where hes coming from. Surpri-ise! Kijung-ssi! Its Nara! Bobae and I are in Hong Kong too! Where are you going? Well come to you!

Kijung: What, Nara- Ack!?

Kijung gasped and let out an incomprehensible exclamation. His words were so tangled that a series of coughs echoed through the smartphone for quite some time.

Bobae and Nara holding their stomachs and laughing uncontrollably was a natural response. Of course, they were the only ones who could afford to laugh at that moment.

Kijung, covering the phones transmitter with his hand, hurriedly ran to Leeha.

Ah, ah, eong-ah! Eong-ah!

Oh dear, hospital gowns are uncomfortable in every country. Kijung-ssi, am I okay?

This, this is not the time to talk about that!

Huh? What are you talking about?

Bo- Bobae-ssi and Nara-ssi are in Hong Kong right now?! Theyre asking where I am!

Leeha and Kijung could only stare blankly at each other.

A faint voice was leaking from Kijungs smartphone, saying Hello? Kijung-ssi? Hello?

Leeha-ssi! Why? Why are you like this? Are you hurt?

No, no, its not that You must have heard the rough explanation earlier -

Why? Why are you in a hospital in Hong Kong?

***

Naras eyes were almost rolling back. Kijung looked at Bobae and asked, Didnt you explain? to which Bobae replied, Why wouldnt I have? I talked about it all the way here in the taxi. However, judging by Naras reaction, it was as if she was hearing about Leehas situation for the first time.

Leeha was lying on an adjustable bed, set up so he could lean his upper body comfortably, looking at Nara.

Just meeting his gentle gaze was enough for Nara to calm down a bit.

Nara-ssi.

Yes, yes.

Im having surgery on my lower body. I only just came to accept it a few hours ago myself, so its natural for you to be shocked, but you dont have to worry too much.

Will you be okay after the surgery? Im sure you said before, Leeha-ssi-

Yes, thats right. Back then, I still had a long way to go in terms of saving money, and it was uncertain what the doctors would do. But that -

Ive solved it all. Shin Nara, what are you doing here? I dont think Ha Leeha-ssi called you.

Creak.

That was when Ram Hwayeon entered the single-patient room where Leeha was. She, who had changed her clothes by then, was leaning against the door, looking at the people in the room. Specifically, she was glaring back and forth between Nara and Leeha.
