Just Us
Chap 29's

Karina had just entered the hospital lobby, she had been out for a while to eat tteokbokki and fish cake. Chunghee had offered to buy her, but Karina refused, saying she wanted fresh air. So inevitably Chunghee had to allow it

One week already Daejung is lying in a hospital bed, this one week also Karina and Chunghee faithfully waiting for Daejung. They will alternate with Chinsun, if they get a night shift then Chinsun will wait in the morning, vice versa when they get a morning or afternoon shift then Baekhoo who will take turns to keep the night, Baekhoo does not allow Chinsun to keep the night because the woman is pregnant, Baekhoo, she doesn't want anything bad to happen to her baby.

"Karina-ya" call Baekhwa

Karina stopped her steps as soon as she heard someone call her, the girl turned to Baekhwa as soon as the man was by her side

"Karina-ya, can we talk to you for a second? There's something important I want to tell you about Jeball" Baekhwa said

Karina looked at the man, she lowered her head then. The shadow of what Daejung and Chunghee said first flashed back through his head, he had to start trying to forgive Baekhwa. It's hard but he has to try it, like what Daejung said

The girl looked up again, then nodded her head. Baekhwa smiled getting an answer from Karina

"Do you mind if we talk in the park outside?" Baekhwa asked hesitantly. The man was afraid that Karina would reject him

Karina took a deep breath, though doubtful the girl kept nodding. The girl then walked first to the park outside the hospital. Baekhwa smiled, the man followed Karina.

Almost five minutes after Karina and Baekhwa were seated together on a park bench, Baekhwa was confused where to start.

"Are we going to continue like this until later? If there's nothing you want to talk about, I'll go back to Chunghee's hospital and it'll be waiting for me for a long time" Karina said

"Ah... Mian ak-I don't know where to start" Baekhwa replied

"You can get straight to the point" Karina said

Baekhwa took a heavy breath, then slowly threw it away. The man turned his seat and looked at Karina

"Karina-ya, I know you must be very tired of hearing this, I'm also sure you must have known what I'm going to say. But Karina, I will continue to apologize to you until you forgive me. I know you still can't forget that incident, nor can I Karina. Every time that happened crossed my mind, regret always came and made me not calm. Karina-ya, just this once I beg you to forgive me. I promise after this I won't bother you anymore. I'm going back to Canada, so before I leave, I want to apologize to you" Baekhwa said

Karina closed her eyes, for some reason there was a hint of disbelief when she heard that Baekhwa was going back to Canada. He still hated the man, but he could not deny that the man had once singah in his heart, and inscribed a beautiful story at first, it has to end with a deep heartache.

If you say Karina still loves Baekhwa, it is a big mistake because in fact Karina's feelings for Baekhwa have disappeared and disappeared since long ago. And as for feelings, now Karina's heart has been tethered to a man who is always nearby. Whether since when the feeling grew, Karina also never knew and did not realize it

"Baekhwa, I am still hurt and I may not be able to forgive you. But Daejung and Chunghee said that I should try, try to forgive you and start making peace with the past, because there's no way I'll keep getting stuck with that past. So Baekhwa I forgive you, you don't have to apologize anymore. I think I'm guilty of this as well, so Baekhwa I'm sorry for my attitude towards you all along, I shouldn't have done anything and said rudely to you" Karina replied

Baekhwa smiled, the man was happy after hearing that Karina had forgiven him, it felt like a heavy burden on his shoulders was lifted just like that. With the bravery of a corn seed, Baekhwa tries to grab Karina's hand for her to hold

"Aniyo, you're not wrong Karina-ya. I'm guilty of this. I understand that attitude of yours, is it not natural for you to behave like that to me. I've hurt you so deeply so it's perfectly natural to happen to you. Gomawo Karina you have forgiven me, I promise after this I will try to be a better person" Baekhwa said

Karin smiled and nodded

"Tomorrow I will go back to Canada, I will start my career there" said Baekhwa, the man then took off Karina's hand which he held

"If you go back there it means you will repeat your residency" Karina said

"Em, I know that. But it's okay I'll try to start well there. Karina-ya I know Daejung and Chunghee will take good care of you, but Karina if anything happens with your relationship with them, you can call me and come to me, please, I will always accept you no matter what. I hope we can start a new relationship as a friend, even if you don't mind" Baekhwa said

"Aniyo, what do I mind. I don't mind that at all. Geurae then from now on let's become a friend" Karina replied with her sweet smile

Karina was grateful in her heart as well justifying what her two best friends had said, there was no harm in trying. And it was true that after he spoke to Baekhwa like this, his heart felt even more relieved. What had been weighing him up just like that. It turns out that forgiving as fun as this, it seems after this he had to treat his two best friends

Baekhwa smiled, finally after a long time she could see that sweet smile again. That smile will be kept in her brain memory, so when she misses Karina in Canada, she can remember Karina's face and smile well.
