Back To Start
#59 The Progress
The doctors and nurses left Minna's room.
"Well then, let's continue drinking the coffee." Yeora said to bring everything.
"Let's Kai, the nurse says you can have coffee." Jihyun.
"really?" Kai happy.
"Yes, let's hurry I also gave you some snacks and cakes." Jihyun.
"Well, Minna, I'll be back." Kai said excited but Kai had not realized in the nursery there was Minno.
Kai came out of the nursery, leaving Minno and Sera in the room.
"Well... The child's emotions are always up and down very excited when very happy but very down when sad." The word Sera spoke spontaneously without realizing there was Minno.
"You seem to know Kai well?" Ask Minno suddenly.
"Yes? Oh, yes we were neighbors and friends since childhood. I'm sorry I spoke so carelessly, I didn't realize you were still here." Sera replied in shock.
"Haha... Just relax, no need to hesitate once we seem to be the same age. How old are you?" Ask Minno.
"Me, 27 years." Answer Sera.
"Oh, I'm 28. Hmmmm... I was actually born at the end of the year anyway, so you just call me by my name." Minno told Sera.
"Where could that be? Of course I should call you oppa." Sera said firmly.
"Yes, call me as you please." Minno.
"Alright, Minno oppa~" Sera said softly.
Minno blushed and was amazed to see the cheerful and friendly nature of Sera.

...#59...
...A Progress...
"Hmmm... Do you still want to be here? Or join us for coffee outside?" Sera asked hesitantly to Minno.
"Oh, okay, I'll have coffee with you guys." Minno answered enthusiastically.
"Well me, will come out first." Sera said while pointing at the door.
"Eh, wait a minute." Minno called Sera doubtfully.
"Yes?" Sera said directly to answer.
"Hmmm... I know it's kind of weird to ask this but, what do you think... Kai is... a good person?" Minno asked hesitantly.
"Kai is very kind, considerate, understanding and he is also sincere. At first it would be very difficult to get close to him, because he would test the person he wanted to be around him he would be very annoying at that time. But, if that person had already earned the trust from him he would treat that person very well beyond his own family. You see, Donghwi, Jihyun, Yeora, even she also sacrificed her life for Minna." Sera explained about Kai.
"Do you think I don't have to worry about Minna anymore?" Ask Minno again.
"I know you're worried because Minna is your little sister, but one thing you should know we won't let anyone hurt Minna even if Kai does I'll be the first to teach him a lesson." Sera answered with confidence.
"All right, I believe in all of you. Sera-yah... I'm asking you to help, take care of Minna and her friends so I don't have to worry anymore if Minna really wants to start a relationship with Kai." Minno said while holding Sera's shoulder.
"All right, I promise." Sera replied while looking at Minno.
Minno and Sera looked at it for a while, then realized.
"Ehem.... Hmmmm... All right, let's join the others." Sera said suddenly waking up.
"Oh, yeah okay, come on." Minno replied in shock.
They also joined the others.
"Eonni, why have you been inside so long?" Jihyun asked in a whisper.
"What the hell are you saying?" Sera whispered.
"Hmmm~ There must be something, right?" Jihyun asked again in teasing while whispering.
"Hey stop asking questions that don't matter." Sera said whispering annoyedly.
"Ohh... Hello, hyeong-nim* I'm Kai. Hello to you." Kai realized there was Minno there greeting spontaneously stood up.
"Hey, what the fuck are you? What kind of military do you think this is?!" Donghwi said seeing Kai's attitude as very formal.
"Hello, Kai regards you. Just relax with me yeah, no need to be stiff like that call me Minno." Minno said smilingly looking at Kai's behavior.
"Well, Minno hyeong." Answer Kai remains stiff.
Others held back laughter at Kai's stiff demeanor in front of Minno.
"Kai, I'm very grateful that you saved my sister, you got hurt and even gave this very nice treatment to Minna. I honestly don't know how to thank you." Minno said to Kai.
"No hyeong, you don't have to feel burdened like that. I'm really sincere and help Minna as much as I can, I should apologize for not being able to save Minna in good health." Answer Kai.
"Kai, Minna is still alive I'm so grateful so never blame yourself and feel guilty for what happened. If you want to apologize, take care of your health and recover quickly so you can take care of Minna." Minno.
Kai pensively digested Minno's words.
"Ja..so, hyeong me...allow me to approach Minna?" Ask Kai hesitantly.
"If you make him shed tears I will first kill you! Understood!" Minno teases Kai.
"Yes!!" Kai smiled brightly while drinking copin to cover his smile.
"Uhhhh.... Already got the official blessing of hyeongbu* candidate ~" Jihyun mocked.
[*hyeongbu: Call for sister-in-law/brother on the female side]
Everyone laughed when they saw Kai was wrong.
"Hmmm... Well then, it looks like I can go back to Pohang because there are already many who pay attention to Minna here." Minno.
"Hyeong why is it so rushed? Aren't you tired of going home and going?" Donghwi.
"It's okay there are a lot of people here, too. I don't want you guys to feel uncomfortable with me here." Minno.
"ciiii... Why does oppa feel that way? We're glad oppa is here, Minna must feel that way too." Yeora.
"I think it would be better if you stayed here, maybe if Minna heard your voice she was happy so she woke up sooner." Sera.
"Hmmm... That so?" Minno.
"We're going home anyway, so you guys are the only ones here to look after Minna tonight." Sera said again.
"Or hyeong if you're tired of standing guard here you can go home to Kai's house because Kai's allowed to come home today. Isn't it Kai?" Donghwi.
"Yes right, but I want to keep Minna here. If Minno Hyeong wants to rest in my house let Donghwi accompany me." Answer Kai.
"You're so stubborn, yes, you should rest right at home if you stay here and I guarantee you won't sleep because you'll keep looking at Minna." Donghwi.
"Donghwi was right Kai, resting at home would be more comfortable than here. But I think I'll just be here to take care of Minna and you can rest in each other's homes, after all tomorrow I'll go back to Pohang so today I want to spend time with Minna." Minno.
"Well if hyeong says so, I'll go home and rest at home tonight." Answer Kai.
"Hmmm... Try me to suggest that, he won't." Sera said whispering to Jihyun and Yeora.
"Haha...." Yeora and Jihyun laughed.
"Hehehe..." Kai smiled awkwardly.
"Alright then, I will also stay here with Minno hyeong. It's okay, right?" Donghwi.
"I should ask if it's okay if you're here too?" Ask Minno.
"Hyung's pleasure. Oh I have to take these guests home first hyeong, then I come back here again." Donghwi.
"Hey, it's still late afternoon, we still don't want to go home." Yeora.
"We better have dinner here, right?" Jihyun.
"Agreed!" Answer Sera.
"Alright, alright. Hadeuhwas... I can't fight back if these women conspire." Donghwi said he relented.
They laugh together too.
