Those words I wanted to hear

◾ Di-Hee's POV

I was roaming around the hospital for a little walk. Walking is good for my health and I am so fed up with laying in bed all day long. Previously Bong-Soon was also with me but her boss is also in the same hospital, and he is, umm what to say, good for nothing or utterly useless.

He can't even move his wheelchair without Bong-Soon. And he only hurt his toe finger with minimal damage, he could have stayed at his house to recover. Jerk! Useless! Lazy! Ughhh!

He snatched my bestie away for his not-so-important roaming on a wheelchair thing. And she also agreed. How can she?

I was thinking about all this when I spotted Bong-Gi near a bench. He was sitting alone, so I decided to sit with him. But a girl came and maybe she was Hee-Ji, my eyesight is becoming weak. I shouldn't have watched many screens for my web drawing for the characters of my webcomic. Now I hate myself.

I stood there behind the pillar. I know that eavesdropping is a bad thing. But I wanted to know what they were talking about. Just a little. Maybe.

"What about we go on three dates? When you are free." The girl said and I knew that my guess was right. She was Hee-Ji.

"Don't you think that I should be the one to ask this?" My heart broke at that very moment into thousands of pieces.

My world stopped and tears started to form in my eyes I tried to calm down to come in front of them like normal.

I turned and took a few steps back and started walking like usual looking here and there. I got near them, and they looked at each other with affection. I called their name and they turned around, and I don't why I suddenly felt like running away. Even after knowing that I am not in the state of doing that.

I plastered a fake smile and tried not to be rude or emotional. I waved at them and they waved back. I saw them detaching their hands as they maintained some distance.

"Hey, Hee-Ji! Didn't see you for many days. How is your practice going on?"

"Hi! Practice is good and I was not able to go out because of that only. Keep that all aside, how is your health?" She asked with sincerity and I liked that. At least she is not lying about something. She is lying to Guk-Doo about her feelings.

"Better than before." showing a fake smile I answered but I know how I am handling this. Why did I even come here?

"Who was the operator?" She asked out of the blue.

"They didn't tell me. They just said he want his identity to be a secret. But if I got a chance to meet him, I would surely treat him with good food and thank him." I said truthfully and remembered the day of my accident and a shiver ran down my spine.

"I should go and find Bong-Soon. Her boss called her but she didn't come yet. Bye." I said and fled from there.

I got back to the place from where I started walking. There was a tree that I didn't notice before. I sat under it and was silently weeping when a handsome man came from behind and looked at me as if seen a ghost.

"Why are you crying? Who are you? And... Aaahhh!"

The man in front of me got freaked out but I was calm. Soon, Bong-Soon came and looked at him asking what happened but his wide eyes were looking at me and I was looking at him confused.

Bong-Soon turned to me and her eyes also widened and I don't know why. I looked at myself and found that my stitches got opened and blood was flowing but I was feeling no pain. Weird, first it hurt like hell, and now it is not even itching.

"Bong-Soon go and call a doctor. I am going to my ward."

~~~~~

"It's fine now. It doesn't even hurt. Go, look your boss is giving me weird looks." I was getting uncomfortable vibes due to his continuous stare.

"Gooooo. I'm getting uncomfortable due to your boss." I wisher yelled.

Bong-Soon just shot her head to her side and Surprise! Her boss turned his head away. She again looked at me and said something but my attention was on Hee-Ji's words. Isn't she Guk-Du's girlfriend? Is she cheating on him? Thousand of questions were irrupting in my head but I was feeling nothing, only numbness.

By the time I came out of my thoughts, Bong-Soon was not there. Maybe her useless boss again ordered her something stupid.

Maybe it was just my crush on Bong-Gi. And maybe it also has some expiry date.

Those words that Bong-Gi said were the ones that I wanted to hear for myself but now it's like my heart is empty. Maybe it wasn't even a crush but a huge attraction.

But at least I should feel like breaking down for not getting what I wanted. It's like I am a heartless person or something.

Those words I wanted to hear are now meant for someone else.
