Became the Only Healer in the Academy

122

“Then see you all tomorrow.”

After finishing the academy class, Professor Sung moved to Seil Hospital, as he has always done.

As if to represent his circumstances, an old car started with a squeaking noise.

“you worked hard.”

Now, with the exception of my daughter, the staff and nurses I face the most.

To the extent that some people mistook Professor Sung for an employee, Professor Sung had been to the hospital regularly and regularly for a long time.

“Welcome, Jihyun’s father.”

“here…”

Professor Sung always brought a drink whenever he came to the hospital.

One box for the staff on the first floor, and the other box held in the opposite hand for the nurses in the ward where the daughter lives.

“Aww…thank you every time.”

“no. It’s also for my daughter.”

“…”

As if he was about to say something, the staff’s lips twitched for a moment, but even after waiting for a while, the next words did not continue.

“…?”

“Oh, no. Ji-hyun will also get up soon after robbing her seat.”

“I wish it were. thank you.”

I know that these words are sincere, but I knew better than anyone that these words were quite difficult to come true, so for a moment, Professor Sung’s expression became quite gloomy.

But even for a moment, he could not show this expression to his lying daughter, so Professor Sung began to manage his expression from the first floor of the hospital.

“president.”

A flower shop located on the first floor of the hospital.

Unfortunately, as it is a hospital, it only deals with artificial flowers, so it did not have the characteristic scent of fresh flowers, but it was always crowded with people, so it was a pretty good place.

“Oh my gosh, Jihyun’s father is here. One song today?”

“yes. Please.”

In those days, when my daughter was always full of energy, I loved flowers so much.

Is it like you or something?

At that time, I always complimented her saying she was prettier than a flower, but my daughter also used to snort saying that she already knew.

“Just take it today.”

“Yes? still…”

“done. done. It’s a gift.”

“Then… I won’t give up. Thank you.”

It had never been like this before, and the first floor staff and the flower shop owner felt it was subtly different from usual.

Professor Sung, who thought it was his mood, headed straight to Room 1312.

where his daughter is.

Before entering the ward, Professor Sung talked to the nurses, handed them drinks.

“you worked hard.”

“Oh my, is Jihyun’s father here? Thanks as always. You don’t even have to take care of us like this…”

“You’re flattering me to take good care of my daughter.”

At Professor Sung’s words, the nurse who had explained the woman’s inner story to Seonghyeon a few days ago bit her lower lip.

“…?”

“Ji and Jihyun will be waiting for their father too.”

“Oh, right. Then come on.”

The daughter’s room, located at the far end of the hallway.

It was strangely sunset time, but it felt as if there was more light coming from the window at the end of the hallway than usual.

‘…well, not once or twice…’

Professor Sung laughed lightly.

Every day, every single day, as I passed through this hallway, there were thoughts that I had never missed.

Wouldn’t my daughter greet me with a smile today?

Maybe he’ll be complaining that he doesn’t like hospitals anymore.

Seriously, there’s never been a single day when I didn’t have these expectations.

Of course, as time passed, the size of that expectation decreased, but it did not disappear.

“My daughter and father are here.”

After the sound of the hospital door opened, the scenery inside the hospital room was always the same.

The curtains surrounding the bed and the lights in other hospital beds are all turned off, and only the place where the daughter is located is turned on.

I had a little expectation that I might be awake even before I removed that curtain by hand, but the result was always the same.

It is still the same.

“daughter. Did you miss Daddy?”

I was going to show you a flower I brought, but my daughter had her eyes closed.

“Are you asleep?”

Professor Sung had a slightly puzzled expression because it had never been like this.

It was Professor Sung who came at the same time every time, and the daughter knew this, so she somehow managed to survive without sleeping when her father arrived.

“no way…”

Maybe it’s a bad sign?

It didn’t seem like the end was just because he couldn’t stand the rush of sleep.

Perhaps the energy of the daughter, who is lying down, is gradually running out.

It may have become difficult to endure now.

Even if he tried to ignore it, the negative thoughts that always flooded in, always tormented Professor Sung’s head.

Still, fortunately, the daughter slowly opened her eyes.

“…”

However, those eyes, as if looking at the daughter before she collapsed, Professor Sung was momentarily speechless.

“Ah, how far did your father go yesterday?”

But how many times have I felt this illusion?

Because there were too many to count, Professor Sung continued the conversation he had stopped yesterday.

“right. Did I even mention the mutated 3rd-class door? So the king of the yeti appeared! How big was it, um… yes. It was about half the size of this hospital.”

He even drew a picture with the notebook next to him and explained.

I don’t know if my daughter will enjoy it, but it might be appropriate to appease a little boredom.

“And do you remember Hunter Kim Seong-hyun whom I talked about yesterday? The professors as well as all the students were looking at Hunter Kim Seong-hyun. At the same time, the king of the yeti began to run. shaking the ground. It’s getting closer and closer…”

“Is Jihyun’s father?”

Professor Sung, who had been explaining with his hands in the air, quickly changed his posture and sat down when he heard the nurse’s voice from outside.

“Dad, I’ll be back soon.”

As I patted her daughter’s hair and headed to the nurses, it looked as if she had just received a snack.

“We eat together. It’s not a lot, though.”

“haha. Thank you from my heart. I am okay.”

“Still…just to receive…”

“If that’s the case, I’d appreciate it if you give it to my daughter later when she wakes up.”

Professor Sung, who bowed his head and returned to the hospital room, doubted his eyes for a moment.

“Ji, Jihyun?”

My daughter, who was supposed to be lying in bed, suddenly disappeared.

It was impossible to disappear in such a short time.

Even if the daughter woke up, the child who had been lying in bed for six years couldn’t get up and disappear while talking with the nurse for a while.

Now, it was more certain that the daughter had been kidnapped by someone.

‘Who the hell are you? Someone who deserves a grudge against me…’

That being said, only the principals of the academies in the old days came to mind.

Otherwise, it could have been someone who wanted something from him as an academy professor.

I didn’t have time to be like this.

If the kidnapping is correct, every minute and every second is a disappointment.

“Hey there!”

The moment he turned around to ask the nurses for help, Professor Sung froze on the spot.

“…Dad.”

The voice I always wanted to hear, the words I wanted to hear.

the face you want to see. The vitality I wanted to see.

“Jihyun… this?”

“Dad!”

The daughter ran so fast that it was hard to believe that she had been spending time in bed for six years.

“Daddy daddy…”

No matter how hard it was during those six years, the daughter’s voice didn’t change much from before, but I could feel the depth of emotion it contained.

“Our daughter. My daughter…”

Even the hand holding her daughter was so delicate that it would break if she hugged her tightly.

“Dad…black, Daddy…”

The tears I had been holding back started pouring out, and it was the same with Professor Sung.

“…”

The nurses who first heard Professor Sung’s call and rushed in were also looking at this scene.

Of course, it was a situation that should be celebrated, but just looking at the couple reuniting after a very long time made me feel full.

A few minutes of hugging and crying in the hallway of the hospital room.

Maybe it was because it wasn’t sad, but because it was a happy event. Tears came out, but it didn’t last long.

“Our daughter. Are you okay? Is there no pain anywhere?”

As if to answer yes, the daughter responded with a smile.

“Puu! Dad, I’m fine!”

The appearance of raising one hand, giving strength to the arm, and making a smile bloom.

Looking at the flowers behind them, it was clear that the daughter was much prettier than the flowers.

“Jihyun’s father. Can I come in for a moment?”

Soon, the voices of the nurses were heard from outside.

“sure. Come on in.”

Of course, this shouldn’t be the case, but all the nurses who had to keep their seats appeared in the room.

Hands holding a snack for them to eat.

“Congratulations.”

“thank you. It’s all thanks to the nurses.”

“no. We…”

It was an expression full of guilt for a very brief moment, but Professor Sung, who was already happier than anyone else, did not notice it.

“Then things we haven’t talked about before. Share a lot.”

“Yes. And I will eat snacks.”

The couple talked like that for hours.

What they ate while lying in the same bed, what was the outcome of the level 3 door subjugation we talked about earlier, etc.

Most of the words were spoken by Professor Sung, but this was the first time that I didn’t get bored by saying the same thing over and over again.

“daughter. Dad, I have a question for you.”

“Like what? I will tell you everything!”

“Did Hunter Kim Seong-hyun come to see you?”

“yes. right. He also treated me.”

“Also…”

Waking up was a miracle, but moving immediately as if nothing had happened was also a miracle.

And above all, the bright, bright eyes as well as vitality, as if before losing their mother, represented that it was impossible with a simple method.

“It was amazing.”

“what?”

“It was very painful, difficult, and sad, but everything got better because my brother patted my head.”

“…”

The daughter’s expression looked so happy when she said this, so Professor Sung bit his lip at the tears that were about to burst and barely endured it.

Perhaps recognizing the expression on his father’s face, the daughter changed the subject and said.

“right! That brother asked me to tell him when my dad came.”

“What?”

“this.”

The daughter, who had been rummaging through the back of her pillow, immediately held out a small hand.

Inside that tiny fist was a much smaller machine.

“Recording…gi?”

Recorders used by nurses.

I wanted to ask my daughter why it was there, but of course it wouldn’t be a good thing, so Professor Sung patted her head and answered.

“I will listen to this by myself.”

“…yes.”

The content of the daughter’s hardened expression seemed to be predictable.

“And my brother did.”

“…?”

“Don’t feel guilty. What needs to be cut off must be cut off so that the rest won’t rot.”

She was clearly listening to her daughter’s voice, and Seong-hyeon wasn’t even nearby, but it seemed to be clearly felt.

That said, it seems like advice, advice.

“…so it should be. In order not to rot together.”
