4 three: Is he that old?

"I didn't know he was on the criminal list. It's been a while since we didn't meet with each other." saying this Dae Ju was walking on the road. He was talking with Jheong Woo who was walking beside him. They have to cross the road so they stopped and wait for the red light. There was a green signal so the cars were running without taking a break. It was a very busy road. Students who bunked their schools were going back to school because it was almost the time to leave. Ladies who were housewives walking to the market to buy their daily necessaries. The food shops were also busy selling their foods. Some were there to takeaway and some were there to eat right away. The private cars, taxies, buses all were very busy doing their daily job. They don't have time to look at anyone. They just think in their minds that "We must go! We must hurry up or else there will be a big loss!" Jheong Woo was silent and waiting for the red light too. He was editing the contacts which he just saved earlier. Dae Ju thought if it would be the same scene if he stands here with his real body now? People would have to surround him until now and start taking photos and wanting autograph from him. They would shout his name loudly by forgetting that they are late in their jobs. There were many photos and good luck wish of him here and there because of his birthday. They were still hanging on the wall, and in the banners. Dae Ju sighed and lost his hope to went back. He was really very upset by seeing his friend on the criminal list and also was very worried about himself.

"Hey! Why are you going now? It's not red light yet!" said Jheong Woo noticing him.

"Ah! I didn't notice." After saying this he stopped.

"What are you thinking about?" asked Jheong Woo.

"Nothing," replied Dae Ju and look at the signal. Now the signal was red and all the cars stopped. They got a chance to cross the road so they didn't miss the chance.

"By the way, do you know what is the punishment for killing a deer?" asked Dae Ju being quite upset.

"I don't know about that but why you are so disappointed?" asked Jheong Woo while walking beside him.

"You have no idea what am I going through! And it was very shocking news for me. He was very innocent when we practiced together. He was charming and he could win anyone's heart. I used to adore him very much but since he went from our agency, I couldn't able to talk with him properly and it's been three years since we didn't meet each other. I missed him very much but I don't know how and why he did that and what will happen to him." sighed Dae Ju.

"You need some refreshment. Let's just forget about our lives for one day and go somewhere far from here. What do you think?" asked Jheong Woo with hopeful eyes.

"Hey! How could you suggest something like that when my life is fully messed up like this!" shouted Dae Ju in his way.

"I was just giving advice. Rest is upon you." saying this he pouted and start walking fast. They forgot that they were in hospital and they need to go back to the hospital. They were walking on the street and they were on their way home. That time Dae Ju's phone starts vibrating so he took the phone from his pocket. It was Lina. Seeing this he remembered about the hospital and screamed,

"Hey! We have to go to the hospital! Lina called me and I don't know if she is mad at me again!"

"Ah, right! I forgot that too! Aish! Let's go quickly!" saying this Jheong Woo start almost running the other way. Dae Ju also turned back and start running to the hospital. While running, Jheong Woo thought why he is running like that! He has to go to work and if he goes there now, he has to see Lina's that face which he didn't see before so he stopped running and seeing him, Dae Ju also stopped. "What happened?" asked Dae Ju curiously.

"I have to go to work. You should go to the hospital. Inform me after reached at the hospital." saying this Jheong Woo turned again and start walking normally.

"But... Ah! Why you are doing this to me? I can't handle her! Why I have to suffer like this?" he was a little angry at Jheong Woo but he thought right after that why he would bother? It's not his personal problem. It's his own problem and he has to fix it for his own. When he was deep in his thought and was walking a little bit fast, Jheong Woo was calling him but he didn't notice. When a hand holds his shoulder he was startled and looked back.

"What happened to you today? Why you aren't listening to me?" while taking heavy breathes Jheong Woo said.

"What now?" asked Dae Ju with a pouting face.

"Tell Lina that I have to go to work so I have to leave."

"And?"

"Nothing!" he was still breathing heavily while Dae Ju was normal.

"Then, go. I will tell her anyway!" said Dae Ju and turned back.

"Ah, right!" hearing the voice of Jheong Woo Dae Ju turned again and now his limit of patience has been broken and shouted, "What? What now?"

"Keep distance from her or else It will hurt you one day." advising this Jheong Woo start walking on his way. Dae Ju was surprised and stand there like a statue for a moment then he realized that he had no time for this. He also thought that he has to hurry or else it will be late like normal people. When he reached the hospital he saw that Lina was standing in front of the big white building of the hospital. She was looking here and there. Maybe she was finding him for that long but failed. Dae Ju was on another side of the road and if he has to go to the hospital he has to cross the road. So, he crossed the road carefully and went to Lina. Lina was looking for him in another way so she didn't notice Dae Ju. He pokes her arm with his finger and makes her look at him. He saw that she was sweaty and her face was pale. He could understand that she was searching for him for that long and since yesterday night she couldn't get sleep for even ten minutes. Maybe she also skipped her meal and now she is skipping her duty.

"Where were you! I was so worried!" said Lina. There was no anger in her voice. Seems like she was very worried about him and now she is relieved that she could find him.

"Let's go inside and wash. You will have the surgery tomorrow. So you couldn't get a shower from tomorrow until you get fully recovered." Lina said to Dae Ju while pulling his hand. Dae Ju went inside with her having no other choice. He saw the circumstance of the hospital. It was a heart foundation and almost all the patients he could see there were old. He felt like he is the only one who is this young but had to admit it here. He saw a little kid who was dressed in hospital uniform. She wanted to run but her mom didn't let her.

"You have surgery tomorrow, honey! You can't run right now!" said her mom and tried to stop her but she wasn't listening to her and kept running. Her mother was running behind her and while running the little kid came to Dae Ju and hide behind him. Dae Ju found it funny and cute but he could understand why her mom tried to stop her. Dae Ju tried to look at the kid but he couldn't.

"E-he! You should not do this to your mom! Go to her." said Dae Ju while trying to look back. But the kid holds his right leg tightly and said, "catch me if you can."

"Seo Jin! Come to mom! Won't you listen to your mom?" said the lady with a worried voice. Dae Ju looks at her and saw her worried and sick face. Maybe she is too tired to run after her so he postures her that he will manage. Then he bends down and takes the hands of the baby. She was too little to have surgery but it was her fortune so she has to. Dae Ju felt pity for her. He kneels down on his two legs and pull her in front of her.

"What is your name?" asked Dae Ju with an adorable voice.

"Seo Jin." said the little kid.

"Ah! My big sister's name is also Seo Jin, which means you are my big sister!" said Dae Ju cutely. He knows how to talk with a child and how to melt their heart. "But you are too big!" said the kid with her broken words.

"Really? But I thought you are bigger than me!" said Dae Ju.

"How? Just look at yourself! You are 10x bigger than me!" said the girl. Dae Ju wanted to laugh at her but he controlled himself and said again, "I am looking like a big one but my heart is still little. I look like an adult because I have a fast growth!"

"Really? Then I am your elder sister?"

"Of course! And if you want to grow like me, you have to listen to your mom. Do you know that?" said Dae Ju.

"Yes, I want to grow like you." said the kid cutely.

"So, go to your mom now! I will give you chocolate later as I have none right now!" said Dae Ju and stood up.

"Okay," saying this the girl ran to her mom. And listen, don't run right now, okay? We will do a race when both of us will recover fully, got it?" saying this he shook the girl's hair and give a sweet smile.

"Okay, promise?" asked the girl with her cute voice.

"Pinky promise." smiled Dae Ju and look at Lina. She was standing next to him all time and surprised by seeing how he was acting so cute and sweet. She was lost in her thought and when Dae Ju looks at her, she moved her eyes and smiled.

"Thank you, mister! I owe you a lot!" said the lady.

"No! Don't say that! It was my duty," said Dae Ju smilingly.

"Let's go," said Lina gently and look at him. Dae Ju didn't reply with his mouth but he agreed with her and followed her. Within a few minutes, they reached their room. Lina was still in a big surprise because she never saw him treat someone like this.

"I wish I had a child like her!" said Lina very slowly so that Dae Ju couldn't be able to hear but Dae Ju listens to her but he pretends that he didn't listen. His face turned red suddenly by thinking of having kids.

"Aish! Pull yourself back! Why you are doing this to me! Ah! Seriously? Now you are wishing to do those things! No! No! I have to go outta here as soon as possible! Or else something will truly happen and I will have to regret that." said Dae Ju in his mind.

"Go and get changed. You will have to starve today. Your surgery will start tomorrow morning." said Lina and give him the white and ball printed patient's dress. Dae Ju took those and went to the washroom. While changing he remembered about earlier, the kid was too cute. She exactly looked like his sister when she was a child. Suddenly he remembered about his sister's wedding.

"I don't know when it will be held and looks like I am gonna miss it! No! I have to find out when she is getting married and I have to attend no matter how." thought Dae Ju. He immediately came out and took his phone to check it on the news. There was a little news about it but he couldn't understand which news is true to rely on.

"I should go to her boyfriend and ask him," said Dae Ju. He couldn't wear the uniform yet. He just opened some buttons and came out. He knows that if he wants to meet his sister's boyfriend, he should go right now. Lina was waiting outside and when she saw him coming without changing, she was going to ask him but she couldn't because he was in such a rush. Sorry, Lina! But I have to go. Please forgive me! And go home safely. I will meet you at home after taking bail from the hospital and also forgive me for not having the ch...no, surgery! " saying this like gibberish, he ran from there.
