That evening, I sat on my bed, waiting for the maids to bring my dinner up but then I had an idea.
Why not go down on my own and have dinner with the others?
I an, I could walk on my own just fine and my back wasn’t hurting that much. But it still hurts. I can’t lie on my back.
Cha Hyun-woo, ah, yes, a very regular face that I forget to ntion in the previous. He was the one treating my back after all.
He applied a healing balm on my back and changed the bandage to fresh ones this morning. And I got to see my back after so long.
It was a little... Wrinkled, bleh, it was hideous. I don’t even want to talk about it.
It looked disfigured to and I had a look of disappointnt on my face but then Hyun-woo said,
"This is just the process." I was surprised he said sothing to assure after seeing my disappointnt. "Just trust the process. It’ll look good as new once it’s done."
After that day, Seo-Jun ’scolded’ him, and he didn’t try to act smart with anymore. And during my treatnt, he only said important and relevant things regarding my back and did not say anything further.
So, when he assured that my back would be as good as new after the process had ended and I was completely healed, I was surprised.
Phew.
Since he went out of his way to tell that, I decided to trust his words and hope for the day I make a full recovery and regain my flawless back.
But would it still be flawless? I an, the technology was amazing but was this sort of thing possible without surgery involved?
I could only wait for ti to answer my questions. Eventually, I’ll see if the technology was that magical or if Cha Hyun-woo had sothing else in mind.
"Alright, shall we head down now?" I muttered to myself as I stood
I’d definitely surprise my masters once they saw that I was walking on my own and I had gone that far without breaking a sweat.
Wait, I wasn’t paralyzed so what was all this about walking on my own? Hmm, I feel the script changed a bit along the line.
Well, whatever. I just hope they won’t freak out.
They were always so overprotective, you know.
What was for today’s nu anyway?
My als have been strictly monitored so I would get all the nutrients needed while I was still recovering. But do they also share the sa nu with ?
It wasn’t an important thought but it suddenly crossed my mind as I opened the door and walked out.
It had been a while since I saw the hallway and the stairs.
"They should be having dinner by now." I mumbled as I took the stairs down, slowly and gently.
I was walking like a toddler who was taking the stairs for the first ti, my hands on the railing and my eyes on my feet.
Though I had been in bed for a long ti, I did so exercise with the maids so I wouldn’t lose strength in my legs or forget how to use them, lol.
Like I said, I wasn’t even paralyzed.
As I neared the foot of the stairs, soone walked past from the other direction. I raised my gaze and my eyes widened as I saw it was Seo-Jun.
Of all people...
’Please, just keep walking.’ I thought, pursing my lips and holding my breath as if that would help. ’Don’t look this way.’
But he looked.
He turned his head to see and I could’ve sworn I saw his eyes slightly widen.
I an, I was shocked too that I saw him first of all people but why was he shocked?
Did I look horrible? Did I look like a ghost?
Aside from that shock, there was a little bit of confusion. I was sure of it.
What was he thinking about? I couldn’t help but wonder.
But the look in his eyes disappeared shortly after as he lowered his gaze and turned his head away from to continue on his way.
He was weird.
I didn’t think Seo-Jun would be the first person I’d co in contact with after coming down for the first ti in several weeks.
Though I was glad he didn’t try to start sothing after seeing , I was more concerned with the expression he had on his face.
He was the one who left the bracelet, was he not? If he wanted to apologize, this was his chance, so why was he pretending like he didn’t see ?
’What if... What if he wasn’t the one who dropped the bracelet there?’
But his scent was all over it, so how could I not conclude he was the one?
I pursed my lips, thinking about the look I saw in his eyes again. Aside from that shock and confusion, was there sothing else?
Was there sothing he was trying too hard?
’I think I saw sothing like guilt in his eyes as well.’ It might’ve been my imagination because that was the kind of expression I wished he would have in his eyes the next ti I t him.
He was an arrogant prick who wouldn’t like to lower his head to anyone in apology, so it made wonder if it was his pride that was in the way of his apology.
’I don’t even know if he considers the words he said to deserving of an apology in the first place.’ I closed my eyes and sighed. ’Does he even rember it?’
Why was I beating myself up with this issue? I’d like to know as well.
Maybe I was affected by the moissanite that I found on my bed. Maybe I was expecting sothing, anything from that sick bastard.
I clutched my arm.
I was probably hoping for too much.
’They say it takes one tragedy to make one realize their fault.’ I quoted in my head and opened my eyes. ’Maybe...’
