The Firmness

Young-Chul watched Nivritti leave the lift. He knew she was going to the hospital. He tried his best to help her but now she needed professional help. A few months ago, he would not have understood her, would not have understood her condition, her anger, her rudeness but now he did.

He helped one person and now he had to help another. He had no idea what he would say to Kyung-Soo or even start the conversation. He didn't even know if he will be able to see him. No one knew his routine and he refused to pick anyone's call.

All the way home, Young-Chul kept thinking about how he would start the conversation. Should he ask about Kyung-Soo's ex? Or avoid her name completely? He kept biting his lips thinking about how much therapy would help Kyung-Soo too.
