"Hyeong is going home?" Ask Donghwi.
"Yes, I have to go back to the minimarket." Dohwan.
"Aah so yeah." Donghwi.
"Hyeong let me take you to the minimarket." Said Kai.
"No need for Kai, I brought the bike here." Answer Dohwan.
"Alright, I brought a bike here too." Said Kai.
"Aren't you usually riding a motorcycle?" Ask Dohwan.
"Yes hyeong, so I'm going to the house to exchange it for a car." Answer Kai.
"You want to buy lunch?" Ask Sera.
"Yes nunna." Answer Kai.
"I'm coming along." Sera.
"Alright, I happen to be carrying 2 helmets." Answer Kai.
"OKAY. Let's go." Sera.
"Be careful eonni, Kai, Dohwan oppa." Jihyun.
"Thank you." Answer Dohwan.
The three of them came out of the room.
"I should be glad Kai noticed Minna this way, Minna also looks comfortable near Kai but why? Why do I feel so claustrophobic?" Dohwan said inwardly as he walked down the hallway.

"Well, it's right at noon." Sera said seeing the sun.
"Well, nunna sure you want to come?" Ask Kai.
"Yes I'm coming, I'm ashamed Minna knows!" Sera.
"Thy? Why should I be ashamed?" Ask Kai again.
"Hmmm... Kai, Sera I'm first." Dohwan interrupted.
"Oh hyeong, I'm sorry we're so cool with chatting." Said Kai.
"It's okay." Dohwan replied with a smile.
"Hmmm... Oppa are you sure you didn't have lunch with us?" Ask Sera.
"Actually I want to eat with you guys, but I have to go back to the minimarket." Dohwan.
"It's a shame..." Sera.
"Next time we eat together." Answer Dohwan.
"All right." Sera.
"Yes hyeong next time let's eat together with Minna too huh." Said Kai.
"Yes okay. Then I'll say hi first, say hello to Minna ya." Dohwan.
"Alright hyeong." Answer Kai.
"Be careful, oppa." Sera.
"You're also careful on the road." Dohwan.
Dohwan put on his helmet and left.
"Nunna, by the way, why did you say you were embarrassed?" Ask Kai.
"No silence?!" Sera said annoyed.
"Ah... I see, you're angry that we teased you with Minno hyeong right?" Ask Kai mocked.
"This kid is really!" Sera's getting upset.
"Haha... All right, all right let's go. Minna must be waiting." Said Kai.
"Let's go! You're the one who talks a lot about daritadi." Sera.
"Yes, yes, come on. It's wearing the helmet right." Said Kai.
They took the car to Kai's house and bought lunch.
....
"Eh, what was Sera nunna?" Donghwi asked Jihyun.
"Where do I know, I'll be here with you. Yeora and Minna asked from the inside." Answer Jihyun.
"Let's go inside." Donghwi.
"Come in, come in, I want to watch it again." Said Jihyun continuing to look at the television.
"Hadeuh, you've been focusing on watching that!" Donghwi.
"Sttts... It's noisy!" Jihyun.
"Basic!" Donghwi said as he walked into the ward.
"Oh, Donghwi want to eat some fruit?" Minna asked at once to see Donghwi enter.
"Eat a lot of Minna, this is the first fruit you've eaten in a long time." Donghwi.
"But this is a lot, if you want to eat at the table there are also many in the fruit basket." Yeora.
"Take it if you want." Minna.
"Here, calm down. This room I consider my own." Donghwi.
"Haha... You're just there." Yeora.
"Oh yeah, where's Jihyun?" Ask Minna.
"She was watching a drama." Reply Donghwi.
"Oh, it deserves to be quiet." Yeora.
"so. Oh right Minna, aren't you bored in this room all the time? If you want me to ask for a wheelchair so you can get out, yes at least to the living room." Donghwi.
"If I may, I will. It's kind of saturated in this room anyway." Answer Minna.
"Well then, I asked the doctor first." Donghwi.
"Thank you Donghwi." Minna.
"Good." Answer Minna.
Donghwi is out.
"Where are you going?" Jihyun asked while watching and eating her snacks.
"You asked the doctor if Minna could be taken out or not." Reply Donghwi.
"Oh so, yasudah." Answer Jihyun.
"You're intent on asking no?" Donghwi said annoyedly.
"Sorry, this is exciting." Jihyun.
"Jiyuna... Jiheyun..." Donghwi said then came out.
....
"Well, it's really midday and people are having lunch breaks." Sera.
"It's so hot, isn't it nunna?" Ask Kai.
"Well... I don't understand why anyone would love to ride a motorcycle without wearing a helmet, jacket and gloves." Sera.
"Haha... If you have a hobby of hot, rain, storm, snow, you must still choose to ride a motorcycle." Said Kai.
"It looks like if I don't wear a helmet and jacket I'll roast the Korean sky sun, hahaha..." Sera.
"Well nunna, hold tight yes we speed up to quickly arrive at home change this motor with a car." Said Kai.
"Okay, gas!" Sera said holding Kai tightly.
....
"Please go to the doctor." Donghwi said as he opened the door of Minna's room.
"Thank you." The doctor said then entered.
"Oh, good afternoon doctor." Jihyun immediately stood up to see the doctor enter.
"Good day." Answer doctor.
"Nurse, please bring her in the wheelchair." Said doctor.
"Good." The nurse answered and took her wheelchair.
"Good afternoon Miss Minna. I'll check on you before you try to sit in a wheelchair." Said Doctor.
"Good day doctor." Answer Minna.
"Please help Ms. Minna to get her foot out of bed." The doctor told the nurses.
"Slow down, Miss Minna." Nurse said.
"What meda?" Jihyun whispers to Donghwi.
"Cambiggiy*! You can't just poke or call before whispering?!" Donghwi.
[*Kamjagiya ( ⁇ ): Jesus!; Just be surprised!. This phrase is usually used when a person is startled by something sudden.]
"Hehe... Sorry, sorry. What's up?" Ask Jihyun again.
"The doctor said he wanted to check on Minna first before letting her use a wheelchair." Reply Donghwi.
"Oh so. Let's just hope Minna's condition is good so she can walk around in that wheelchair." Said Jihyun excitedly.
"Yes I hope so too." Donghwi.
"Well, now try to get off the bed and stand up for a while, slowly. Let's see if his legs are strong or not." Said doctor.
"Let's go Minna, you can do it!" Yeora said while helping Minna as well.
"It's good that Miss Minna can stand up while being helped. Now try to move one of Miss Minna's legs forward." Said doctor.
"Mina, Hwaiting*!" Jihyun whispered words cheering Minna on from the door.
[*Hwaiting ( ⁇ ): An expression to encourage someone. The word hwaiting is an uptake of the English word 'Fighting']
"Good! Miss Minna can step up with help. This is a very good thing, if Miss Minna continues to practice, then the leg strength of Miss Minna will increase and can walk and do activities without assistance again. I will schedule Miss Minna to do physiotherapy* to help the recovery of muscles that have been stiff because they have not been used for a long time." Said doctor.
[*Physiotherapy: Physiotherapy is a rehabilitation measure to avoid or minimize physical limitations due to injury, accident or illness.]
"Thank God Minna is fine." Donghwi.
"This is really good. I told Mr. Kai what Miss Minna can eat, later the nurse will bring medicine and vitamins please consume according to the rules we see if in the next 2 days the state of Miss Minna continues to improve then Miss Minna can go home and do outpatient course." Said doctor.
"Minna you're so great!" Yeora said embracing Minna.
"Well then, please Miss Minna use this wheelchair to take a walk around the hospital but please do not force yourself if you are tired please rest immediately and try to always accompany." The doctor said again.
"Let's try Minna in this wheelchair." Donghwi said as he entered and helped Minna.
"Because the infusion and oxygen have been removed, please pay attention to fluid intake, food remains sufficient and the air in this room remains stable. Contact us if you need any other medical equipment or if you have any questions." Said doctor.
"Okay, doctor, thank you very much." Minna.
"Together Miss Minna, may you recover soon." Said doctor.
"Thank you doctor." Answer Minna.
"Well then, excuse me." Said doctor.
"Good doctor." Answer them all.
The doctors and nurses came out of the room.
"Minna, let's watch the drama with me." Said Jihyun trying to push Minna with her wheelchair.
"Yes Minna, take a walk to the park later in the afternoon, this is noon outside must be very hot." Donghwi.
"All right, I'm in the room." Minna.
"Yeah! Someone's been with me watching." Jihyun said as she pushed the wheelchair into the living room.
Donghwi followed Jihyun and Minna.
"Minna, would you like to watch while snacking on fruit? Let me get ya ready." Yeora.
"Thank you so much Yeora." Minna said with a smile.
"Woe... Look at this Minna, if you don't recover our spirit of caring for you will be in vain!" Donghwi joked.
"Alright, well you guys tried hard then I'll be out of here in 2 days huh." Minna said and laughed.
"Without another day?" Jihyun teases Minna.
"Well without another day." Minna replied smiling.
"Good! Huhaha...." They laugh together.
