It’s been a month since I’ve been stuck at home.

At first, I thought I was going to die of frustration, but I’m starting to feel more comfortable, as if I wasn’t wasting so much time being a hikikomori for no reason.

My leg is hurt, so there’s nothing I can do if I go out.

So I’m thinking of taking a break until the molester is caught.

So, I stopped writing for a week or so.

Even when I sit in front of the computer, my legs feel a little tingly.

“Phew… I guess I should take a bath.”

You may wonder what kind of bathing you can do with a full cast on, but thanks to the waterproof cover that covers the entire foot, you no longer have to take a bath or shower after wearing a cast.

In addition, it is very sturdy, so it doesn’t tear, and it is very waterproof, similar to a waterproof smartphone cover.

Just in case something happens, you can wrap a towel around the cast.

“I hope everything recovers by the time I go up to Seoul.”

I can only sigh because I have to go to Seoul again.

It doesn’t really matter since Da-hye can drive, but wouldn’t it be inconvenient to go to Seoul wearing a cast?

In many ways too.

For your information, the reason I go to Seoul is not because of the new Yeonam Station drama, but because of the old drama.

The webtoon is doing well, and due to the nature of it being a romance novel and not a modern work, it couldn’t be made into a drama, so I thought it would be over without any additional media expansion after completion.

But why?

The medium is expected to expand in ways we could never have imagined.

A famous Japanese animation production company proposed ‘TVA animation’.

It’s not an OVA, it’s a TVA,

“Animation… It’s amazing.”

Even though it wasn’t written entirely by me, I still have a lot of affection for it because I finished it.

However, the fact that the web novel is going beyond being a webtoon and becoming an animation makes me so happy that I can’t even put it into words.

I’ve seen Korean works serialized as cartoons in Japan, but I don’t know if a famous Japanese animation company has directly animated them…

Wouldn’t I be the first?

with a splash.

It wasn’t confirmed because there was still a contract left, but it was almost confirmed, so I smiled happily and took a dip in the water.

As expected, it would be awkward to have my legs not be exposed to water due to the waterproof cover.

I am sensitive because I soaked my body in hot water, but since only one leg is not sensitive, the sensitivity seems to be doubled.

My entire body was submerged in hot water, but it was similar to having one leg submerged in cold water.

“I think I can take off the cast soon…”

Because it’s been a month.

Whole casts are not good because they are hardened with plaster, which is inconvenient and not hygienic.

The advantage of a half cast is that the splint and bandage can be replaced at any time.

It’s not as good as a full cast because it doesn’t hold tightly.

Still, I’m taking the medicine well, I’m moving less, and the cracked area is getting better…

I’ll have to go to Jeonghyeong’s mother’s house tomorrow and ask.

“Anyway… I can hear a sound outside.”

There’s no one coming home at this hour.

Da-hye is probably busy because she is taking care of work at home.

is not it?

Is Dahye going to work?

Thinking about going outside, I got up carefully so as not to fall.

And as I slowly got out of the simple bathtub…

Jump up!

“Oppa~ Are you in the bathroom?”

Suddenly the door bursts open and Dahye comes in.

At this moment, when I just got out of the small bathtub and am not wearing anything!

“You were really here.”

“Woe…You shouldn’t come into the bathroom suddenly!”

“Why not?”

“Ha…”

It seems like Da-hye is her boyfriend so what does it matter?

It doesn’t really matter to me, but even for lovers, such delicate details are important.

If you keep being insensitive, it won’t be fun later on, right?

No, this isn’t important right now.

“Oppa. Shall I clean it for you?”

“No… just give me a towel and leave.”

“Hiing. It’s a pity~”

Still, I’m glad I got out calmly.

After I injured my leg, I had no choice but to be unable to have sex, so it seemed like a lot of things had piled up.

Won’t it attack suddenly? I was even worried.

Well, anyway, Dahye is not that kind of woman.

“But where did I put my clothes…”

Obviously, I wear the waterproof cover I have in my room…

Take it off in the room and…. Oh.

“Ha… Dahye. Could you please give me some clothes in the room…. Huh?”

When I opened the door slightly and tried to shout, I saw clothes and underwear neatly folded in front of the door.

It looks like Dahye prepared it in advance.

I remembered Da-hye, who was playful yet caring, organizing her clothes and putting them in front of the bathroom.

As expected, it’s cute.

***

The day to finally take off the cast.

I woke up early in the morning and rode to the hospital in the car driven by Da-hye.

I thought I would just leisurely go until lunch, but since yesterday was the orthopedic chief’s day off, I decided to go early.

Probably, I’ll be pushed a lot today.

“But isn’t it too early to go? It’s not even time to apply yet.”

“If I don’t go now, I might not be able to see the treatment today.”

The nearest general hospital starts accepting applications at 8:30.

And if you go at 8:30 and pick up a ticket, the number will be around 200.

Then you have to go and wait for a while.

Plus, there are about three reception desks.

Then roughly 600 times.

Even if only 1/10 of them see the orthopedic surgeon who was unable to see the doctor yesterday due to closure, they would have to wait 60 times.

How long does treatment take for each person?

Just receiving X-RAY and treatment will take 5 to 10 minutes per person.

Then roughly 300 to 600 minutes.

You have to wait for a dizzying waiting time of 5 to 10 hours.

“Ah… Anyway, that’s…”

“In Busan, where there are many people and few hospitals, we have no choice but to wait this long.”

If you don’t like this, you have no choice but to go to a clinic-sized orthopedic clinic.

But the fact that there are a lot of people there is similar.

I got into the car driven by Dahye and came to the hospital parking lot.

Sure enough, several cars were already starting to appear inside.

The doctors and nurses probably didn’t show up for work at 6:40.

So, that is the car of most patients who use the hospital.

“There are a lot.”

“Right?”

“I never thought there would be so many at this time…”

“Let’s go in quickly and take a number ticket.”

Then, you can kill time at a nearby hospital that opens early in the morning and then go in.

This is why there is a saying that the early bird eats the delicious bugs.

I got out of the car and walked quickly into the hospital.

Then, I quickly pulled out a number from the office desk and checked the number.

“Number 2…”

“Oh! It’s so fast!”

“Yes. Plus, the administration desk here opens the fastest reception. Maybe orthopedic treatment number 1 might be possible.”

Well then it will be over quickly and it will be good.

Even if it’s over, it’ll be fine if you just buy breakfast and go home.

*

“Patient. Are you feeling a little better?”

“It’s much more comfortable.”

The plaster cast was removed and replaced with a clean white bandage.

Maybe it was because it had been stuck to my body for a month, but I felt so refreshed when I took it off.

Now I can take a bath after taking off the bandage.

I heard that half casts are good too.

“I will also provide you with three splints. You can purchase bandages at the pharmacy and they will also provide pins.”

“So is that the end?”

“Yes. You can go to the hospital affairs department to pay the bill and get a prescription.”

“Thank you~”

When I came out after receiving treatment for the first time, it was crowded with people outside.

If I came late, I would also be waiting there with a blank face.

If not, I went home once.

Anyway, I’m so glad I didn’t have to go back and forth twice.

“Oppa~”

Da-hye must have seen me come out and approached me with a bright smile.

As soon as he approached me, he looked at my legs, smiled brightly, and gently patted my head.

“You took off the plaster bandage? Thank goodness.”

“Sure. They said I only need to do it for about a week, so I think it would be okay to solve it before I go to Seoul.”

This time, I was planning on finishing work and going out to have fun.

Dahye looks forward to that rather than to work.

I haven’t had a proper date in a month…

Da-hye, who couldn’t say anything, must have been more frustrated than me, who complained all the time.

“Hehe. Still, in Seoul, we go on dates by car.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to make hotel reservations in advance?”

“Hmm… wouldn’t the company do it?”

“I see.”

I don’t mind sleeping anywhere.

The company will make reservations at the best hotels possible.

Well, let’s say that was resolved.

Next…

“That’s it! Seonghwan Yoo’s fried food shop!”

“Ah. Minji said she would make a reservation for that.”

“Are you Minji?”

“Did you say that one of the owners of a fisheries center in Seoul that Minji knows is the mother of Yoo Seong-hwan’s friend?”

You said you were the master of the fish market in Korea.

My little sister has really wide feet.

“Do you usually get to know such people when you run a business?”

“Well… isn’t Minji just special?”

Anyway, that was resolved too.

Now all I have to do is wait for the animation contract date.

“I’m looking forward to it~”

“But isn’t it a bit weird to mention another guy in front of your boyfriend?”

“Hehe. The only person I think of as a man is my brother, right? It just feels like a celebrity~”

Dahye then stuck her head out to ask for a pat on the head.

He smiled bitterly and patted his head.
