Lee-joonhyuk was lying on a bed with casts on both his leg. Lee-joonhyuk stretched out his hand, and he focused on the cup. However, there was no change to the cup.
“Do I have to do it on a person?”
He was able to transfer his barrier to Kim-oonsuh, and he was able to save her. How did he do it?
The barrier didn’t form right now. However, he had to sure, so he casted it on himself. It formed around him without much effort, but it wouldn’t transfer onto a different target.
Moreover, he couldn’t cast it on a different person.
Lee-joonhyuk let out a sigh, and he leaned against the bed. The bed was in a raised state, so he could lean comfortably against it.
He was in a VIP hospital room, so it was very large and s.p.a.cious. After being rescued by the rescue party, the helicopter had come to this place. He didn’t want people to think anything was wrong, so he relaxed his muscle before he went into surgery. The doctors were frightened when the blood started to flow out again, but the surgery ended in success.
“I guess the problem is the Director?”
Kim-oonsuh’s thigh bone was broken, and she had some internal bleeding. However, the surgery was a success. The problem was she hurt her back when she hit the tree in the fall. She was paralyzed from the waist down.
“Whew.”
If he had been able to transfer his barrier a little bit earlier, she wouldn’t have hurt her back. His inexperience prevented him from saving her.
Lee-joonhyuk let out a sigh, then he tried to cast the barrier once again. However, it was still impossible.
“I guess I’ll have experiment a little bit at a time.”
Lee-joonhyuk eventually closed his eyes, then he focused on controlling the movement of his muscles. Since he could sense his muscles, he could feel the muscles in his legs. Moreover, he was able to a.s.sess the severity of his wounds.
Fortunately, he had hardened his muscle like stone, and this caused it to break in the best possible manner. Still, his legs still required casts, and it would take about 3 weeks for the bones to mend.
For the foreseeable future, Lee-joonhyuk knew he had to spend his time in this place.
“When I leave in two weeks, it’ll put me in an awkward position.”
He closed his eyes as he leaned against the bed. He turned his head when he heard a knock on the door.
“It’s open.”
When the door opened, Lee-joonhyuk’s eyes widened at seeing who had entered.
“Father. Mother.”
It was Lee-joonhyuk’s father Lee-sukhoon and mother Kim-haejung, who had entered. Kim-haejung started checking on Lee-joonhyuk’s wounds as soon as she entered the room.
“My Joonhyuk. Are you ok?”
“I’m fine.”
“My word. How did you hurt yourself like this?”
Lee-joonhyuk scratched his head.
“I took a tumble down a mountain.”
While Kim-haejung fussed next to him, Lee-sukhoon opened his mouth.
“I heard it’s just a simple break of the bone. You’ll be out of the cast in three weeks, so don’t worry too much about it.”
“I won’t worry about it.”
The ones who were more worried was Kim-haejung and Lee-sukjoon. Lee-sukjoon looked around his surrounding as he asked questioned.
“This hospital room looks expensive.”
“I was hurt during the company’s training course, so the company will pay the entire hospital fee.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Kim-haejong asked carefully.
“You were injured right after you got in, so you won’t be able go to the office. Will they fire you?”
“That won’t happen.”
He clearly got hurt trying to save Kim-oonsuh. Of course, from Kim-oonsuh’s perspective, she might not think Lee-joonhyuk was of any help. From her view, it would seem like he had fallen into the same location with, and they had been rescued together.
He wouldn’t be fired just for that.
“That’s fortunate.”
After smiling, Kim-haejung was gossiping like a storm. Lee-joonhyuk was busy trying to to be agreeable with her. Most of the story was about Lee-joonhyuk being hired by ST Capsule. It basically meant she was the one who started the gossip around town.
“Why don’t you meet with some prospective marriage partners?”
“Mom.”
Lee-joonhyuk was taken aback, so he called out to her. Kim-haejung continued to speak, while laughing.
“I bet you don’t remember her. Mr. Park, who used to live in our neighborhood, has a daughter. She was selected to be an elementary school teacher.”
“That has nothing to do with me. I just got hired, so why are you trying to put me in a marriage interview?”
“You don’t have a girlfriend. How many years have you been single already?”
“Mom.”
Lee-joonhyuk was taken aback, and while they were talking, Lee-sukhoon approached Kim-haejung. Then he spoke with his hand on her shoulder.
“Wife. Let’s stop.”
Kim-haejung licked her lips, then she backed off a step. Lee-sukjoon looked at Lee-joonhyuk as he spoke.
” Is there a caregiver?”
“Yes. He vacated his seat for a moment.”
He had hurt both his legs, so he couldn’t move at all. This was why ST Capsule hired him a caregiver. Lee-sukhoon nodded his head, then he turned to look at Lee-haejung.
“He has a caregiver, so we can just visit him.”
“Still, how can we leave him to a caregiver? I’ll come here on the weekends.”
“Then I’ll be alone in the weekends?”
“Just go fis.h.i.+ng with your buddies. I’ll stay here.”
Lee-joonhyuk let out a deep sigh, then he looked towards Kim-haejung.
“Please just come here on Sat.u.r.days and Sundays.”
If she came on Friday, he would be in an awkward position. The fact that he was in a hospital was a problem, but if he spent time on Friday with Kim-haejung, she’ll find out he had fallen into the Abnormal Sleeping Disorder.
He wanted to avoid that.
As if Lee-sukhoon didn’t have anything more to say, he looked at Lee-joohyuk and he spoke.
“We’ll head back now. Take care of your body.”
“Yes. Don’t worry about me.”
“I’ll be able to fish to my heart’s content, because of you.”
Lee-joonhyuk knew how much Lee-sukhoon liked fis.h.i.+ng, so he could only smile. Kim-haejung rose from her seat. She spoke, while she patted his cheek once.
“Just think about the marriage interview.”
“Mom!”
When Lee-joonhyuk shouted in embarra.s.sment, she got up from her seat as if it was on fire. Lee-joonhyuk let out a deep sigh when he saw the door close.
“Why a marriage interview…”
Lee-joonhyuk closed his eyes, then he focused on controlling his muscles. If he didn’t use his muscles, his legs would waste away. To rectify such a situation, Lee-joonhyuk continuously fine tuned his muscles.
He couldn’t train transferring the barrier, so the only thing left was to remake his body.
He had learned several things this time. He had learned more about his muscles, and the result of growing his muscles with his life on the line. He had also learned it was possible to transfer his barrier.
