Renascent - chapter 2
Chapter 1
Ji-won was asked to sit in the waiting room as Ji-hyuk was taken into emergency. She had ridden with them in the ambulance and answered the little she could about Ji-hyuk, he was conscious but not making much sense so he could not answer the questions himself.
But now she was forced to wait for news while the doctors worked on him. All she had were her thoughts that made as much sense as the man they were about. Why did he drive in front of the Truck? It would have hit me so he did it to save me? Why was he even there? What does he mean the inevitable just happened? Why does that phrase sound familiar? Her thoughts whirled round and around until a voice broke through them.
“Ms. Kang!” Hui-yeon walked in with her Grandfather and Mr. Lee not far behind. “Have they said anything?”
“No, they’re still with him and have only told me to wait.” Ji-won held out the paperwork she had been given to fill in for him, “But they need this.”
Mr. Lee stepped forward to take it as Chairman Yu stared at her, “What were you doing with Ji-hyuk that he got hit by a car?”
Ji-won shook her head, how could she tell them he did it on purpose. “We weren’t together, I didn’t even see Yu Ji-hyuk before the truck hit him.”
Chairman Yu opened his mouth to say something else but Hui-yeon spoke first. “Don’t blame her Grandfather, it was an accident.”
He grunted and waved them away as he sat down to wait for news. Hui-yeon sat beside him and laid her head on his shoulder as Mr. Lee turned to Ji-won and thanked her for calling them. “You should go home now Ms. Kang, Chairman Yu does not want you here.”
Tears filled her eyes as she nodded in agreement, “I should feed Pang he’ll be wondering where Yu Ji-hyuk is.”
“The cat he made the trust agreement for?” Mr. Lee spoke quietly but Ji-won still heard him.
A sharp pain stabbed in her chest as she was hit with a realisation. “Yu Ji-huyk made a trust for Pang? When was this?”
“It was early December,” Mr. Lee looked at her with confusion not understanding as the tears fell down her cheeks and she held her hands to her mouth to keep the words she shouldn’t speak from spilling out.
