An Actor Who Has Lived For 10,000 Years [EN]: Chapter 295

295. #53 – Misunderstandings Lead to More Misunderstandings (4)

How long had time passed in the long, deep darkness….

The memories of wandering through the past gradually calmed my chaotic mind.

And just as my mind was clearing.

Pop-

A clear ray of light entered my blurry eyes.

Blink… Blink….

I barely managed to move my heavy eyelids and looked at the ceiling.

A pure white ceiling.

A single light shining brightly in the center.

“Ugh….”

At the same time as the groan that escaped me, I heard voices buzzing around me.

“Hee-sung!”

I couldn’t see or hear clearly yet, but.

The owner of that voice sounded like Chief Kim.

No, it was definitely him.

“Hee-sung, can you see me? Can you hear my voice?”

He came closer and put his face near mine.

“It’s me, Hee-sung. Are you coming to your senses?”

With a hurried face and voice, Chief Kim opened the hospital room door and shouted.

“The patient’s awake! Doctor… hurry!”

At his voice, I slowly closed my eyes again.

After a few minutes.

The doctor came in with the nurses and checked my condition.

Afterward, as I clutched my throbbing head and opened my eyes, Chief Kim took a deep breath, his hands clasped together.

It seemed like a sigh of relief he had been holding in for a long time.

“Hee-sung, are you feeling better?”

At his words, I raised my stiff body.

“Ugh….”

“You know who I am, right?”

At Chief Kim’s words, I smiled and replied.

“Of course, how could I not know you, *hyung* [older brother or close male friend].”

At my words, he rushed to me, grabbed my hand, and bowed his head deeply.

“Haa… Thank goodness. Really, thank goodness.”

“*Hyung*, but what happened? Am I okay?”

He bit his lip and said.

“At the fan meeting… do you remember?”

At Chief Kim’s words, I clutched my throbbing head with my hands.

“Yeah, that man who came up from the audience and attacked me. And being stabbed with something, my stomach feeling hot, and being confused… up to there.”

At my words, Chief Kim frowned and squeezed his eyes shut.

“That crazy bastard….”

He trembled with his fists clenched, but he seemed to swallow his words as he looked at me.

“He was handed over to the police. And first of all, Hee-sung, fortunately, your condition is not life-threatening.”

At Chief Kim’s words, I lowered my gaze and looked at my stomach.

He looked at me and asked.

“How’s your stomach? Is there anything else that hurts?”

“My stomach is okay, but I have a bit of a headache.”

“Headache?”

“Yeah, it feels like it’s going to break.”

I covered my head with both hands instead of my stomach.

My head felt like it was about to explode.

From the moment I lost consciousness until now.

I seemed to have wandered through the memories of my past life in the deep darkness.

The long period of 10,000 years was quickly engraved.

Thanks to that, the memories that had been quiet for a while rushed in, causing me to suffer from headaches.

“I’ll ask the doctor to take a look at you.”

He nodded and replied, then snapped his fingers and said to me.

“Oh, right, Yuna is waiting in front of the hospital room. Should I tell her to come in?”

Song Yuna….

It was always like that.

In the days when I was tormented by the memories of 10,000 years.

When I was struggling because no one, nothing, could take away the pain.

Just seeing her washed away the pain like a lie.

Just seeing Song Yuna and being with her gave me great strength.

It wasn’t just because the pain disappeared that I developed feelings for her.

But because I had feelings for her, because she was the person I loved the most in the 10,000 years.

So I thought that being with Song Yuna would make me forget the pain.

At Chief Kim’s words, I nodded without hesitation.

“Okay.”

“Then I’ll tell Yuna to come in. I’ll go meet the doctor and tell him about your condition, Hee-sung.”

Chief Kim immediately left the hospital room.

As soon as he left, a groan accompanied by an extreme headache burst out.

“Ugh….”

And soon the door opened, and Song Yuna appeared.

“*Oppa* [term used by a female to address an older brother or close male friend]!”

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Song Yuna ran to me and hugged me tightly.

“What is this? Why… why are you lying here like this….”

Tears streamed down her cheeks.

I stroked her shoulder.

Song Yuna sobbed and said to me.

“The person who stabbed you… said they were my fan. I’m sorry, it’s because of me.”

She thought this happened because of her.

And that’s why she seemed to shed more tears.

I raised Song Yuna’s body and replied.

“No. Why is it your fault? That person is weird. Never say it’s your fault.”

“Still… because of me…. I’m really sorry.”

She couldn’t finish her words.

I looked at her eyes firmly and said.

“Why is this Yuna your fault? There is no legitimate reason for such criminals. And there’s even less of a reason for you in such a ridiculous situation. So don’t be sorry, and don’t have any of those feelings.”

At my words, Song Yuna trembled her lips and nodded.

“I hope you never say you’re sorry to me again because of this.”

“…Okay.”

And again, a throbbing headache.

“Ugh… Ugh.”

I immediately grabbed my head with the hand that was holding her.

What is it?

Clearly, when I was with Song Yuna.

Just facing her, just being in the same space, the pain disappeared.

Not to mention the moment when Song Yuna’s body touched me.

I could experience the disappearance of worries and concerns in the world.

But now, strangely, the pain didn’t disappear at all.

I was sure that if I met her, the headache would be resolved….

Why isn’t it working?

…Why is this happening?

“*Oppa*, are you okay?”

Song Yuna looked at me and asked worriedly.

Even when she spoke to me and held my hand, the pain didn’t subside even a little.

* * *

Song Yuna couldn’t stay by my side for long.

All she could do beside me, who was in pain, was to stay by my side silently.

I couldn’t say anything to her or make eye contact with her.

I was just writhing in pain.

Eventually, Song Yuna spent time like that and left the hospital because of her schedule.

Whether she was there or when she left the hospital.

My condition did not improve.

Of course, the pain and wound from being stabbed in the stomach were improving.

But the throbbing head showed no signs of getting better.

As I was spending painful time in the hospital room.

Knock knock.

Someone knocking on the hospital room door.

Chief Kim was away for a while.

I shouted in a tense state at the knock.

“Who… is it?”

At my tone showing alertness, the other person shouted in a bright voice.

“Hello, it’s Seo Gyuri.”

At her voice, I tilted my head.

Seo Gyuri carefully opened the door and showed her face to me.

“I’m Seo Gyuri, and I came to say hello. Can I come in?”

Thinking that I would recognize her if I saw her face, she peeked out her head to confirm herself.

But since I didn’t know her, I raised my eyebrows and asked.

“Ah… but who are you….”

“I’m from the girl group Ping Pong. Ping Pong… don’t you know us?”

She asked with a dumbfounded face as if she couldn’t understand me.

I scratched my head and replied.

“Ah… Ping Pong…. I’m sorry, I don’t really follow girl groups these days.”

Seo Gyuri naturally entered the hospital room and said to me.

“Wow… that’s too much. We’re quite famous. We were also a group that was number one, and we were even in the same WG Entertainment!”

“Really? I don’t really know about singers.”

She put the luggage she was holding in both hands in front of me.

‘Wishing you a speedy recovery. -Seo Gyuri.’

A flower basket with a small phrase written on it.

And even a fruit basket filled with fruit.

Since she was someone I didn’t know, I tilted my head and asked her.

“But how did you get here….”

Seo Gyuri smiled and replied to me.

“We were WG Entertainment family. I was worried after seeing the article, so I came to visit.”

“I left WG Entertainment quite a while ago.”

She pointed to the hospital room with her hand and continued.

“And as I said, I’m still a group that was number one. Many people know me as a public figure. So I told the hospital and came in. I didn’t sneak in.”

At Seo Gyuri’s words, I frowned.

A hospital room that only Chief Kim could enter.

He had been guarding the door, but it seemed like she came in while he was away for a while.

If it were fans or someone else, the hospital would have stopped them.

But since her face was known, the hospital seemed to think she was my acquaintance.

Although she was someone I didn’t know, I was grateful for her concern.

But it was just gratitude, and I wasn’t in a state to welcome her.

“I appreciate your concern. But I want to rest a bit.”

At my words, Seo Gyuri frowned slightly.

“Are you… telling me to leave?”

“I’m sorry. As you can see, I’m not in good condition.”

Seo Gyuri bit her lip, but forced a smile and replied to me.

“…Yes, then get well soon.”

As it was, Seo Gyuri raised the corners of her mouth and bowed her head.

Then she left the hospital room, and I shook my head as I looked at Seo Gyuri’s back.

What the heck is she?

* * *

[Jin Hee-sung – Red light between Song Yuna. What came to his hospital room…!]

[Seo Gyuri of the girl group ‘Ping Pong’ visits ‘Jin Hee-sung’s’ hospital room. The reason for the visit?]

[Ping Pong ‘Seo Gyuri’, holding a flower basket and a fruit basket full, “I came to visit Hee-sung *sunbae* [term of respect for a senior or mentor].”]

[The only girl group to visit Jin Hee-sung, ‘Ping Pong – Seo Gyuri’. What is their relationship?]

[‘Seo Gyuri’ visits Jin Hee-sung’s hospital room, is there a problem with the affection line between Jin Hee-sung and Song Yuna?]

After Seo Gyuri visited the hospital.

Articles poured out in less than an hour.

The contents of the articles were all questions about the relationship between me and Song Yuna.

And the relationship with Seo Gyuri.

Because I had been busy for a while, I hadn’t been able to meet Song Yuna.

So, of course, there were few photos taken with Song Yuna by paparazzi.

Reporters seemed to sense that the relationship between Song Yuna and I had grown distant and made it into an article.

In the meantime, Seo Gyuri, who came to the hospital with flowers and fruit, was linked to me.

In the end, I had a scandal with Seo Gyuri.

Even with a throbbing head, I looked at the article and sighed.

“I don’t even know who Seo Gyuri is. I heard the Ping Pong group name for the first time.”

At my words, Chief Kim shook his head as if he couldn’t understand Seo Gyuri.

“I know, right? Why did she come?”

“I don’t know either. She just said she was a WG Entertainment family member, she was worried, and she came.”

“That’s weird.”

“Yeah.”

Chief Kim looked at the hospital entrance visible outside the window.

He said, looking at the reporters lined up in front of it.

“If a picture is taken in front of reporters lined up like that, a scandal is bound to happen.”

“Haa… Seo Gyuri, what the heck.”

Chief Kim showed me an article.

“Look at this. It’s a mess, bringing up Yuna’s story in every article for no reason.”

“I’m lying here sick, and I have to explain even this. It’s a bit….”

He nodded bitterly and replied.

“Shall we release an explanation article through Reporter Kim?”

“Yeah, please do that. Say that I have nothing to do with Seo Gyuri. That I have a good relationship with Yuna and there’s no problem.”

* * *

Meanwhile, the article was also delivered to Song Yuna, who was working on her schedule.

“Crazy, what is this?”

She frowned and looked at the article.

“Ping Pong’s Seo Gyuri? What is she doing there?”

Song Yuna skipped through the article and read all the contents.

“No other celebrities went to the hospital besides me. Seo Gyuri went there openly? What’s the relationship between the two?”

Song Yuna, who read the contents only through the article, had plenty of reason to misunderstand.

Jin Hee-sung, who was sick, couldn’t even talk to Song Yuna.

But after she left, Seo Gyuri openly visited.

Articles poured out that she spent time with him in the hospital room.

In addition, those articles were creating a pink atmosphere between Seo Gyuri and Jin Hee-sung.

It was revealing that there was a problem with the affection line between herself and Jin Hee-sung, so she couldn’t help but think so.

Just as she was sighing with a serious face.

A call came from Jin Hee-sung.

Song Yuna hurriedly answered the phone without hesitation.

“What is this?”

At Song Yuna’s voice, who asked bluntly, Jin Hee-sung endured the headache and replied.

-Oh, Yuna. Did you see the article?

“Yeah, explain it. What’s the relationship between the two?”

-That’s….

“I don’t want to get really angry about this because *Oppa* is sick. Can you explain it properly?”

-There’s nothing between us.

“What?”

-I don’t know what Ping Pong is, and I don’t even know who Seo Gyuri is. She suddenly came to visit.

“Does that make sense?”

-So, I was also taken aback and sent her back.

“Is that all?”

From Song Yuna’s point of view, Jin Hee-sung’s words were incomprehensible.

-Yeah, that’s really all. I couldn’t even talk to you when I was sick. But what kind of conversation would I have with someone I don’t know?

Since she had seen Jin Hee-sung’s condition with her own eyes, she couldn’t help but trust his words.

“Seo Gyuri, what is it? It’s really weird and annoying.”

-I know. I was also taken aback when I heard that there was an article about this. So I immediately released a rebuttal article. Don’t worry about it.

“But how can I not worry about it?”

-I’m saying there’s nothing between us?

Song Yuna and Jin Hee-sung raised their voices in a conversation about Seo Gyuri.

Song Yuna, who had accumulated misunderstandings, couldn’t help but get upset.

And Jin Hee-sung, who was lying in the hospital room fighting the pain, couldn’t help but become more sensitive than usual.

“Yeah, I know it’s not. But I’m still angry. Seo Gyuri, she’s also from WG Entertainment…!”
