Chapter 43 : Small accident.

Third person point of view

The next day, both of them left to work like always. Haruto was looking at some documents in his office when his phone started ringing. He saw it was Junkyu and picked it up. " Hello ". " Is it Watanabe Haruto-ssi ? " He heard a woman's voice. " Yes. Who are you ? " " We are calling from S Hospital. KimJunkyu-ssi is here right now ".

Haruto immediately stood up and walked out from there. " I will be there right away ". He hung up. He ran out to his car and drove away. He reached the hospital as soon as he could and went to the receptionist. He found out where Junkyu was and quickly went there. He opened the curtain and saw Junkyu smiling while talking with a kid.

Junkyu was surprised when someone opened the curtain a little rashly. He was even more shocked to see it was Haruto. His eyes went wide. " What are you doing here ? " Haruto saw Junkyu's face which looked fine and lowered his gaze and he noticed Junkyu's leg. It had a bandage tied to it.

" What happened ? " Haruto asked and Junkyu gave a guilty smile. That day he had to go to a park to look after a few plants which were being grown there. He checked them and was returning. He was waiting to cross the road and a kid walked onto the road following a ball that rolled off.

Junkyu immediately followed the kid and pulled him back in a hurry. He twisted his ankle in the process and fell backwards. He was also shocked at his own reflexes. He stood up and checked on the kid. The mother came up to them. The kid was safe and didn't get hurt anywhere. Junkyu felt a small pain in his ankle from the fall.

He realized he sprained his leg. The mother kept saying she wanted to help him since he saved her child. Junkyu tried to refuse but she didn't listen to him. She called an ambulance and brought him to the hospital. She also made sure to get his treatment done. So he was here with his leg bandaged.

Junkyu explained it all and looked down when he noticed Haruto's hard gaze and stoic face. Haruto stared at him sternly with folded hands. Junkyu was fiddling with his hands while looking down like a kid who got scolded. He didn't know what to say. The mother came and noticed Haruto there.

" Hello ". She greeted Haruto and he greeted her back. " I am really sorry ". She apologized to Haruto too. " It is nothing. It is good that the kid is safe. It is nothing serious. So I will look after him. Thank you for informing me ". Haruto said giving her a bow. " No, no. It is nothing. Thank you so much. We will get going then. The bill is paid ".

" You shouldn't have... " Junkyu said but she just shook her hands. " No, no. It is nothing. It is something I can do. Thank you so much once again ". Junkyu bowed and she returned it. Junkyu waved bye to the kid and he waved back. She also gave a bow to Haruto who returned it. The both of them walked away.

Once they left Junkyu turned to Haruto and looked away immediately scratching his neck. Haruto sat down on the stool and turned to Junkyu. " So ? " Junkyu gulped before answering. " The doctor said it should be fine in two days and I can remove the bandage at night ". Haruto nodded. " Any medicines ? " Junkyu shook his head.

" He prescribed a spray to use at night ". Haruto nodded. " Uncle, who is he ? " The kid sitting on the bed beside Junkyu's asked pointing at Haruto. " Ah... he... " Junkyu turned to Haruto not able to say it. " I am his husband ". Haruto answered and the kid nodded. " Then do you have kids ? " Junkyu's eyes went wide like plates at the question. His face turned red.

Haruto smiled and shook his head. " We recently got married ". She nodded. " What is your name ? " Haruto asked her. " I am Kim Min Ji. I am 12 years old ". Haruto nodded. " What happened to you ? " " Actually... I was playing a lot these days and didn't drink enough water. The doctor said I was dehydrated and used too much energy, so I am a little weak right now. He gave some medicines and also this ".

She pointed at the IV drip. Haruto nodded. " Your parents ? " " Both of my moms went for work today. Eun Ji eomma was supposed to stay with me but today she has important work. So she had to go. I thought I would be bored but uncle kept me company ". She smiled at Junkyu who grinned back.

" Then I might as well let him stay here with you ". Haruto said and Junkyu turned to him with a pout. Min Ji burst out laughing. Haruto smirked with a raised eyebrow. Junkyu pouted looking away. They just continued chatting. " I will be back in a minute ". Min Ji said and got up. The nurse helped her to the bathroom.

Junkyu turned to Haruto. " So tell me now. How did you come here ? Did they call you ? " Haruto nodded. " So I am the one on your emergency dial ". Haruto said looking proud. Junkyu blushed. " Ah... that... " He stuttered playing with his sleeves. " It used to be Jihoon, but he changed it saying I should put yours, because... " Haruto raised an eyebrow.

" Because ? " Junkyu rubbed his neck. " You know... " Haruto looked clueless. Junkyu huffed. " Because you are my husband ". Junkyu's ears turned red. Haruto chuckled. " Right ". " You are sure enjoying it a lot ". Haruto shrugged. " Also about Min Ji... " Junkyu understood what Haruto wanted to ask. " Yeah. She has 2 mothers ". Haruto nodded.

" Is there anything more you need to get checked ? " Junkyu shook his head. Haruto nodded. " Shall we go home then ? " Haruto asked standing up. Junkyu hesitated to answer. " Can we wait till Min Ji is done ? " Junkyu waited for Haruto's response. " Please... " Junkyu gave puppy eyes. Haruto let out a breath looking away. He sat back down making Junkyu grin.

" Thank you ". Haruto smiled when he saw Junkyu's happy face. Min Ji came back and sat down. They continued to chat with her; mostly Junkyu. Min Ji's mother came to pick her up. She also spoke a little to them. Junkyu gave her a hug. She went and gave one to Haruto too. She also took their contacts. She waved them bye and left.
