Hoseok: 4 July Year 22

I went out into the hallway while she was getting first aid. There were so many people hanging around the hospital hallway even though it was the middle of the night. My hair was dripping wet from the rain and my sweat. I wrung out my hair and dropped her bag on the floor. Miscellaneous things poured out of it. Coins rolled and things like pens and towels scattered. There was a plane e-ticket in the center of it all. I studied it for a moment.

 

The doctor called me then. He said it’s a mild concussion, so I didn’t have to worry about it. The girl came out a few moments later. “Are you okay?” She said her head hurt a little and tried to take her bag from me. Then she saw the e-ticket sticking out and looked at my face. I put the bag on my other shoulder and urged her to go with me as if nothing was wrong. It was still raining when we came out of the entrance. We stood side by side in front of the door. 

 

“Hoseok,” she called me. She looked like she had something to say. “Wait a minute. I’ll buy us an umbrella.” I jumped into the rain with no hesitation. There was a convenience store over there. I knew she said she did an audition for an overseas dance team not long ago. Buying a plane ticket would mean that she was accepted. I didn’t want to hear her words. I didn’t have the confidence to say congratulations.
