Chapter Index

    “What are you doing? Didn’t you ask me to feed you?”

    “Please don’t do this…”

    “Is it because you care about the color being purple? Instead, it’s good for your health, right? Now, quickly open your mouth.”

    It was malicious.

    Even though he knew why I was reluctant to eat ‘that’, he insisted on feeding me that.

    “I heard it contained poisonous mushrooms.”

    “I explained it earlier. They say it can be toxic if eaten raw, but there is no problem if you cook it at high temperature, right?”

    I remember that too.

    I remember it, but I don’t think I’ll allow the guy who calls me to accept that.

    So, instead of saying something, I chose to keep my mouth shut… but maybe he saw me like that and decided that it wouldn’t be easy for me to continue like this.

    Immediately, the party office changed its route.

    “Look, you see the scorch marks here? I learned it well by paying attention to every single thing, so there is no need to worry too much.”

    Is it because of her mood that her voice sounds a bit like that of a young mother comforting her child who is complaining that he won’t eat?

    Anyway, not only other people but also party officials are doing this, but to be honest, it’s a bit difficult to keep my mouth shut and continue my hunger strike, so I decided to try just one bite.

    So I opened my mouth slightly, and a spoon full of porridge rushed into my mouth, as if I had been waiting for this moment to arrive.

    As a master of memorization, his hand movements were so exquisite that one couldn’t help but admire them.

    It was ironic, how can I say, that he was only using such skill to feed porridge.

    ‘by the way···.’

    Surprisingly… it’s not bad…?

    Because I failed to control the consistency, it was so thick that it felt more like risotto than porridge, and there were plenty of mushrooms in it, so it was really annoying that the squishy stuff kept crawling between my teeth every time I chewed, but the taste itself wasn’t bad.

    So… it was even more confusing.

    Obviously, I am eating something purple, but the taste that is transmitted to my brain through my tongue is that of ordinary mushroom porridge, so it feels like my brain is torn between vision and taste, thinking, ‘This can’t be like this…?’

    “How do you feel? Even though it looks like this, it’s surprisingly good when you actually eat it, right?”

    I’m pissed because I don’t have anything to refute…

    No, if it’s going to be like this, wouldn’t it be okay to just make it normal from the beginning…?

    How good are those bat mushrooms or something for your health?

    As I was thinking this to myself, Dang So-so, who had once again used a spoon to scoop up a generous amount of porridge, put it on it and started blowing on it.

    “Now, let’s take another bite.”

    Then, when it was cool enough to eat, he dumped it back into my mouth.

    It must have happened at the moment when I was quietly sitting on the bed and eating the porridge that Dang Soso handed out to me.

    The door opened with a grunt sound, and the doctor I saw yesterday in the intensive care unit or something entered the room, accompanied by nurses.

    “Patient? I’d like to do some interview ㅡ”

    Then, when I saw Dangsoso and I sitting together in a huddle and saying ‘Aaang…!’, we just stopped.

    How long has it been like that?

    “I will visit you again in 1 hour.”

    The doctor, who had a very satisfied smile on his face, began to backstep.

    “Now, wait a minute…! Director Jang!”

    Mr. Director?

    Somehow… unlike the doctor in charge, who was busy looking at me while trembling whenever he stood in front of me, he was full of composure even in front of me, but he was a high-ranking person.

    Judging by the way the person is called by the party, there is a hint of familiarity, so it seems like he is not a complete outsider, but a collateral son-in-law or something like that.

    While I was developing my own speculations, Dang So-so, whose face was slightly red before I knew it, seemed a little flustered and continued speaking.

    “Well, it’s not like that, so don’t misunderstand.”

    “A misunderstanding? What on earth did I misunderstand?”

    “So, look like that…! Don’t build it!”

    By the way… it’s definitely a bit surprising.

    For some reason, I thought he was building a wall with his family.

    There were people you became close friends with…

    Well, I guess I couldn’t stay away from them all.

    In addition, unlike the direct lineages who have to compete for the position of successor, the more collateral lineages can be brought to one’s side, the more beneficial it is.

    “I was so worried when he suddenly said he was getting married… but I guess it was just my luck. Hehehe.”

    “So… it’s not like that…?”

    “Did you make that yourself? It doesn’t look like it’s for sale…”

    “This… I think I’m hungry…”

    “If it was a meal, we would have prepared it on our own without you telling us.”

    That’s right.

    Dangga Medical Center is a place that boasts such a huge scale that it is not just a local hospital, but a university hospital at its feet.

    As such, there must be thousands of patients in this hospital at this very moment, so why are so many people taking care of their own meals?

    I couldn’t imagine the level of confusion that would arise the moment I did that.

    It’s hard to imagine, but wouldn’t the entire hospital immediately fall into a state of paralysis?

    So, even in this era, it would be the hospitals’ responsibility to take responsibility for their patients’ meals.

    And more than anything… I am not an ordinary patient, but a VVIP who was admitted directly by the party, which can be said to be the actual owner of this hospital.

    Unless it was for medical reasons, there was no way they would starve me on purpose.

    Dang So-so’s cheeks, which were already slightly flushed, turned even redder as Director Jang’s remarks subtly pointed out that point.

    “Now that I’ve said this, let me say more… I hope that you can trust us with the patient’s meals as well.”

    “···.”

    “Well, I think I would have acted like a lady if my wife had been hospitalized.”

    I understand what you’re saying.

    Party Soso, who could not bear the embarrassment rising from the other person’s remarks that were practically speaking like that, eventually sank with the sound of ‘Uuuuu…’.

    And while Dangsoso was sinking, the director naturally came next to me and asked for my wrist.

    “Your wrist?”

    “Yes.”

    What about your wrist?

    Are you planning to get to the bottom of the truth?

    Well… the facility is like a Western hospital, but in a strange way, it’s oriental.

    “Can I do this?”

    “It’s enough.”

    I had some expectations from the moment I asked to give up my wrist, but was I really planning to use energy to examine the inside of my body?

    As soon as my wrist was grabbed, a ray of unbelievable energy began to flow into my body through the area where I was grabbed.

    I didn’t really resist him and just gave him the way, and soon the director took his hand off my wrist.

    “Let’s see… Don’t you have any strength in your body?”

    “Yes.”

    “It’s not because there’s a big problem… It’s because the energy and blood within the body are slightly damaged in the process of resisting the poison, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

    “What do you mean…?”

    “It means that if you eat well and rest well, you will get better on your own.”

    Still, I am a VVIP, so is it okay to say something like that in front of someone like that?

    Well, if you were a person who cared about such things, you wouldn’t have made fun of Tang Soso.

    “Treatment foods…maybe it might be helpful for recovery as well.”

    While I was thinking that, was I concerned about the state of Dangsoso, who was slightly sullen after being beaten with facts?

    The director made a remark that seemed to be subtly taking care of the party.

    In response, Dangsoso squared his shoulders again, as if he had always been sullen.

    “Well, that doesn’t mean you should fill your three meals a day with only health foods. As you may already know, there is a saying that says too much is too little.”

    “···I know that much.”

    “I don’t think so…”

    “Patient, please be quiet.”

    “No, I am the one who ultimately eats it, but isn’t my opinion the most important?”

    Since the director, and then me, were being beaten with facts, did it feel like it was a bit cruel all over again?

    “···It’s annoying, so should I just stop taking care of it?”

    A cute little giggle was flowing into my ear to the point where I couldn’t remember the cold appearance he often showed in Kowloon City.

    “Augh…! Suddenly the pain…!”

    I responded in that way with the feeling that I couldn’t lose to him…

    “Trigram, are you okay!? Where does it hurt? Tell me quickly…!”

    The response was too realistic to say yes…

    Thanks to this, I couldn’t help but feel cold sweat running down my back.

    “Is it so painful that you can’t even tell? Ah, uncle…! Quickly, please help me with this person-”

    ‘Oh, no…’

    It was a joke…?

    “Sat, pain…”

    “Pain…?”

    “I thought it existed, but I shouldn’t say it was actually my mistake, right?”

    As he said this, he slightly lifted his head, which had been bent forward, to see Tang Soso’s reaction, and as soon as he did so, a sigh came out of Tang Soso’s mouth.

    “Haa···”

    “No, it was a joke~”

    “I see, it was a joke. Ahaha…”

    “Hahaha…! It’s fun, right?”

    “Jukeot···!”

    .

    That was the exact time when Dang So-so was showing Su-hyeon the taste of Dang-ga’s spicy fist.

    “Two people… It’s late…”

    “Isn’t this a violation of the contract? I don’t think I’ve ever heard that the outing would last this long.”

    “Kkisss!”

    At Dangsoso’s home located in Kowloon City, the screams of Hayoung, who had been tormented to the point of neurosis by Helena, who had grown very angry over the past few days, were echoing.

    They say it will only take a day or two!

    You said you’d be back in two days!

    But why is there still no news!

    Come back please! please!
