Angel Smile 124 Scene 124

Yeo Ri's hospital room looked as if someone was holding a party there because of the number of people who came by.

The nurse in charge of Yeo Ri had shot these visitors several dirty looks, looking as if she would kick them out at the slightest fuss.

Jin Goo, In Guk, Min Chae, Jang Mi, Da Na, Ha Jun, and even Hw.a.n.g Se Jin were gathered in the room, as if celebrating something.

After the interview, Yeo Ri seemed to have reverted to her stoic self, so he was worried that the visitors might wear her out. "Don't tire her too much. I'll be back in a few hours," Gun reminded them.

The end of the winter break was nearing, and Gun had plenty of important matters to deal with. He needed to deal with the apartment, then he had to go and notify Yeo Ri's school about her situation. Also, he had to go back and pick up their belongings from the old house that they had left behind now that it was no longer a crime scene. He had been too busy with taking care of Yeo Ri that these matters had completely slipped his mind until the last minute.

"Don't worry, Gun-oppa," Min Chae grinned. "We can make do without you. You can go ahead and leave everything to us, Oppa."

Jang Mi nodded and flashed him a shy smile, agreeing with Min Chae. At the very least, she knew that she'd be responsible enough to make sure that they don't get kicked out. "I'll keep them in line," she added.

Gun returned her smile, "Thanks, Jang Mi-ah. I know I can count on you."

Choi Da Na who had been watching from the side immediately felt her guts tingling. She nudged Ha Jun who was next to her, whispering, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?!"

"What? What—were you also thinking about fried chicken?" Ha Jun looked at her with mystified eyes. Seeing Da Na's glare, he laughed and nudged her back, "Kidding, kidding. I know what you're thinking."

He shot a furtive glance at Jang Mi who was unconsciously ogling Gun, "That girl, she definitely likes Gun."

"Yeah, I thought so too," Da Na sighed heavily. She should have known it wouldn't be so easy to get close to Gun! Her love rivals were everywhere. In fact, she was pretty sure that some of the nurses were also ogling her crush.

While the two were whispering with each other, Gun finally left to do his business.

"Yeo Ri-ah, how do you feel today? We brought your favourite tteokbokki today as well," Min Chae said smilingly. She laid out the large portion of tteokbokki for everyone to eat and scooped some into a hospital-issued bowl for Yeo Ri to taste.

Yeo Ri accepted gingerly. She had no appet.i.te but for the sake of rea.s.suring her friend, she picked up a small piece of rice cake and chewed it slowly.

"It's tasty," she pulled up the corner of her lips into a small smile.

"Really? I'm glad!" Min Chae beamed. It had been a few days but it seems like Yeo Ri was really getting better. She was happy that Yeo Ri was normal again.

"This girl made me pay for the whole thing; it better be tasty," Jang Mi grumbled.

After Yeo Ri placed down the tteokbokki, another bowl was pushed in front of her.

"It's Granny's jjajangmyeon. I know you like this, Yeo Ri-ah, so we got it for you," In Guk eagerly said.

"Thanks, In Guk-oppa," Yeo Ri nodded as she accepted it. However, she did not open it and simply placed it atop the table.

"What's wrong, Yeo Ri-ah? You don't like it? Want me to mix it for you?" In Guk asked anxiously.

"Stop being such a worrywart; Yeo Ri's probably full since not much time has pa.s.sed since breakfast," Jin Goo said, nudging his friend with his elbow.

The two exchanged sour looks at each other before In Guk finally gave up. "Don't forget to eat it later, okay, Yeo Ri-ah?" He said before collapsing on the couch.

Seeing that Yeo Ri had finished talking to the two guys, it was Da Na and Ha Jun's turn to greet the girl.

"How are you, Yeo Ri-ah? My mom heard about your situation and was worried about you. I'll come visit with her in the future, is that okay with you?" Da Na asked.

"Mm. Thanks, Unnie." Yeo Ri smiled at her.

After all the greetings were exchanged, there was one person left who simply stood back and watched.

Seeing as he was not coming up to her, Yeo Ri bowed her head at him, "I heard from Gun-oppa that you've been helping us in various ways. Thank you, Hw.a.n.g Se Jin-ssi."

Hw.a.n.g Se Jin straightened his back at the mention of his name. With a troubled smile, he said, "No, I didn't do much. And your brother has been helping me as well."

After saying so many words, Yeo Ri had gotten tired and drowsily took a nap.

After the main reason for their visit had fallen asleep, the seven people did not stay long and departed one after another after acquainting with one another.
