In life, there will definitely be a day like that at least once.

A day when I don’t even look at my cell phone, which I always keep in my hand to the point where I say I can’t live without it.

Today was just that kind of day.

“Hannah, are you okay?”

“Trigram, it’s okay… ! It’s just a little broken… .”

After returning from the discussion with Park Hae-rin, the atmosphere at the training site was particularly unpleasant.

When I wondered what was going on, I found out that Hanna Bang had tripped and suffered a minor injury.

“Look somewhere.”

“… Ah, no, it’s okay… .”

I took off my boots, held on to the ankles of Hannah Bang, who was sitting on the bench, and looked around.

“Ugh… .”

She recoils slightly as if she is embarrassed to show her bare feet.

‘Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be anything serious.’

The ankle area was red and swollen, but on the outside it looked like it wasn’t seriously injured… .

“How is the pain?”

“Uh… . It’s just tolerable… !”

Hanna Bang showed a bright appearance as if she was trying to continue her training.

As I was staring at her like that, I quietly grabbed her feet and moved them slightly.

Kuuuk-

OK.

“Ugh… .”

She contorted her face, moaned in pain, and flinched.

It was clear that he was forcing himself to endure the pain.

“I can’t do it. Let’s go to the hospital first.”

“It’s okay if you don’t have to go to the hospital… ! Just apply some paste… .”

When the topic of stopping by the hospital finally came up, Bang Han-na was startled and started waving her hands… .

These were not team members who would watch that in silence.

“Hannah. We’re fine, so come on… !”

“Okay, even if it’s not a big deal, it would be nice to at least go and wrap a bandage.”

“At times like this, you should rest. I’ll handle it appropriately, so just leave work first today.”

“… Go quickly.”

“Ji, it’s really okay… .”

Na-rae Kim and Gyu-ri Han. As Kim Jun-hyung and Jin Seo-won also joined in and pushed back, Bang Han-na was unable to make a strong claim.

“Well, then… ! I’ll be back really quickly… !”

After it was finally decided that Bang Hanna should go to the hospital.

I took Bang Hanna and headed to the doctor belonging to the Sejin Guild located near the training site.

Originally, Kim Jun-hyung should have followed, but Kim Jun-hyung had something to do, so I ended up following him.

‘We need to hire more employees quickly… .’

I was on my way to the hospital, internally feeling sad about the team situation being so small.

“… Producer… .”

Hanna Bang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, spoke softly.

“… sorry… . Just because of me… .”

He was so downcast, it seemed like he was paying attention.

“It’s okay. It wasn’t like that on purpose. That’s possible.”

“Well, still… . Wasting time unnecessarily… .”

To be honest, I wasn’t seriously injured, so it’s not really a problem.

Of course, a subjugation is scheduled for a few days later… .

Injuries as severe as a sprain can be easily resolved with a quick leap.

To put it bluntly, it can be said that it is fortunate that he was only injured to this extent.

“I hate you getting hurt more than losing time.”

“… Yes?”

“Honestly, I was very relieved. I was very worried because I thought you might have been hurt more seriously.”

“… that… .”

I stopped the car at a red light and glanced at her sitting in the passenger seat.

She was looking at me with eyes full of regret,

I made eye contact with her and continued speaking firmly.

“Our team is a team that cannot function normally if even one person is missing. Not only you, but also Narae and Seowon. It would be difficult even if Gyu-ri or Jun-hyung were left out.”

“… … .”

“So I told you that I won’t force you to do too much training and I won’t let you through gates that are too difficult?”

“… yes… .”

“But it’s inevitable that people get sick. I never know when I might suddenly get sick and cause trouble to the team. If I miss training because I’m sick, will you blame me?”

“Oh, no… ! Absolutely not!”

“Me too. Probably other team members will do the same.”

“… ah… .”

When the light changes, cars move.

I smiled slightly at Hannah Bang, then looked away and looked at the road.

We arrived at the Sejin Guild hospital before we knew it.

I attended as a guardian and was observing Bang Han-na’s medical treatment.

“If this is enough… . All it takes is one injection.”

Fortunately, the doctor diagnosed it as a minor sprain, so I felt relieved… .

“State, injection… ? Well, is there anything else?”

Hannah Bang showed a particularly sensitive reaction to the injection and began to tremble.

“Hmm… . If you don’t like injections, there is also a method of applying medicine. This will take quite some time to fully heal.”

“Uh, how much? Will it take a long time… ?”

“Roughly… . About a week?”

“… What, a week!?”

one week.

Since the subjugation is scheduled for a few days from now, there is no time to wait even a week.

“Please give by injection.”

I immediately snuck in and ordered the doctor to give me an injection.

OK.

“… Phew, producer! I’m really dying… !”

Bang Han-na hurriedly clings to her, even holding back tears.

The injection seemed quite scary.

‘No, the tanker is afraid of injections…’ ?’

It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand why she was afraid of injections, but it was a bit ironic that she, who was taking the lead against a huge monster, was only afraid of small injections.

“Hannah. The subjugation is in a few days, but it gets better right away… .”

I held onto Bang Hannah’s hand and tried to calm her down… .

“Soil, subjugation… . Subjugation… . eww… .”

As if even the subjugation had not worked, she did not readily bring up the topic of getting an injection.

‘I didn’t expect this… .’

That moment when I looked at Bang Han-na, who was crying and scratching her head at an unexpected variable.

The doctor who was watching the situation smiled and said.

“Uh… I’m telling you because I think you’re mistaken, but I won’t use the needle this time.”

“… yes… ?”

“When injecting the elixir, I use a syringe without a needle.”

“!”

As expected, it was a needle-less syringe.

“… … .”

Bang Han-na, who stopped and became quiet, lowered her head with a red face.

I said hello to the doctor and headed to the injection room with Hannah Bang.

*

Following the nurse’s advice to rest for a day, I returned to my accommodation.

We stopped by a drive-thru cafe and stopped for a while to drink sweet drinks.

“… . I should have been holding the camera.”

“… … .”

“I didn’t know Hannah was so afraid of needles. Isn’t it a little cute?”

“… … .”

I was teasing Hannah Bang, remembering how she was crying and clinging to her while she silently got the injection without saying a word… .

“Perhaps if Seowon saw it… .”

“F, producer… !”

Perhaps it was because I brought up the story of Jin Seo-won, who was like a younger sibling, that Bang Han-na began glaring at me with sharp eyes.

It was embarrassing, so it meant to stop teasing me.

‘cute.’

I looked away with a mischievous grin, put down my drink, released the side brake, and opened my mouth.

“You worked hard today, so let’s eat something delicious for dinner. Should I eat beef?”

“… I don’t know… .”

As I felt that I was getting closer to Hannah Bang, I walked her to her dorm.

“Is it okay if I go up alone?”

“Yes. I’m really feeling better… !”

“Yes. I went up and had a good rest. See you later.”

“Take care… !”

After seeing her off after taking the elixir and recovering quickly, I went straight back to the training ground.

“Producer! Are you here?”

“You had a hard time.”

“Is Hannah okay?”

“Yes. I got the injection and felt a lot better. What about the kids?”

“I’m holding a booth and doing individual training.”

About an hour until the training schedule ends.

This was going to end up like this anyway, so I suggested leaving work early to give myself some air.

“Uh, really?”

“Really?!”

“At times like this, I need to rest, when will I rest?”

Kim Jun-hyung and Han Gyu-ri happily welcomed each other with open arms, and when the members finished their set, they decided to get ready for work together… .

Ugh… … Ugh… …

While I was watching Na-rae Kim and Seo-won Jin’s training, the cell phone I had in my pocket started ringing.

[ㄱArin♥]

Someone told me it was a call from my girlfriend.

“Hello?”

[Ah, Jihyuk! Phew… . Are you currently working? ? ]

Lim A-rin’s voice comes through the speaker.

There was a strange cautiousness about it, and it felt like there was some problem.

“I’m at work, but… , what’s going on?”

[No, it’s just that you haven’t responded since a while ago… . I thought something had happened… . ]

“Ah… . okay? I guess I suddenly got busy and didn’t see you.”

I was a little surprised to hear that I had received a message from Arin Lim.

Normally, if I was busy, I would have at least replied that I was busy, but today it seemed like I barely looked at my phone.

[When do you get off work today? Shall we have dinner together? ]

“Hmm… . It’s going to be a little difficult today. I decided to eat it with my teammates.”

To be exact, Bang Han-na and Jin Seo-won.

A teammate is a teammate, that’s not a lie.

[ ah… . Then there’s nothing we can do… . ]

Lim A-rin gave me a lingering look by expressing her disappointment.

Of course, I didn’t hate spending time with her, but I had a lot to do… .

‘… uh?’

to do.

At that moment, something passed through my head.

‘ah! Hong Yura!’

The fact that I completely forgot to reply to Hong Yu-ra.

“Uh… , Arin. Anyway, I’ll contact you later if I think we can meet again.”

After urgently hanging up the phone with Lim A-rin.

I opened the messenger that had been asleep for over half a day.

[Arin♥: (23)]

… …

… …

‘What is this guy… .’

After the 23 messages that Arin Lim sent, there are countless messages lined up.

Beyond that, the message shared with Hong Yu-ra was buried.

‘Yura really hates things like this… .’

Thinking that I might have touched Hong Yu-ra’s back, I quickly sent her a message.

[ Me: Sorry for being late. I was late in replying because I was busy with work. ]

[ Me: I think it will be free after 8 o’clock today. how is it? ]

And after a while.

Pot-

The check mark next to the message disappeared.

This meant that Hong Yu-ra confirmed the message.

“… … .”

I waited with bated breath for her reply… .

Before long, a short reply came back from her.

[Yura: That’s enough. ]

[ ㄱYura: I called a busy person. ]

[Yura: Just forget it. ]

It was a nuance that made anyone feel bad.

‘shit.’

I remembered that I had made a mistake and calmly asked for her understanding.

[ Me: I apologize if I offended you. Today, one of our team members got hurt and had to rush to the hospital, so we were in a rush. I said it was important, so I’ll see you in the evening. ]

It’s true that I was out of my mind due to the NIS coming and Bang Han-na getting injured, but anyway, I was wrong, so I was thinking of canceling my dinner plan.

but… .

[Yura: That’s enough. ]

Hong Yu-ra pushed me away once again.

The fact that it comes out this way means that your heart has truly risen.

There was no point in saying any more.

[ Me: I’m sorry. ]

I apologized again and turned off the messenger.

“Producer!”

Just then, I put my cell phone away when Na-rae Kim called me as she came out of the booth after finishing training.
