Some parts were left out when I uploaded it. Here's the complete version :)

“YOOKYUNG-SSHI!” a man exclaimed, running to the woman who has seemed to lost control over her body and nearly fell to the ground. He caught her, slowly lowered their body to the ground, and cradled her body like a mother cradling a baby.

Yookyung struggled to stay awake. After a few strenuous blinking, she managed to recognize her savior.

“Ah, Woo-Woohyun-sshi, I’m sorry…” she tried to raise herself up, yet failed terribly and fell back onto his lap.

“Yookyung-sshi, you look terrible. Maybe you should go home,” he suggested, sincerely worried about his colleague’s condition.

Both didn’t even realize that people have begun to crowd around them. A small circle began to form in the middle of the spacious theme park. Yes, Yookyung is still working at the theme park. Though, she is now in charge of rides instead of wearing the pathetic mascot costumes.

“What’s is going on here?” their manager towered over them out of nowhere.

Yookyung began trembling in fear over getting fired, while Woohyun calmly looked up to the manager and explained his colleague’s condition.

“Put her on my back, quickly,” he ordered before quickly changing into a squat position.

Woohyun complied. He lifted the poor girl and placed her onto the manager’s back. The manager slowly stood up quickly ordered the customer to move aside before quickly running to the clinic, followed by Woohyun.

Once they’ve reached, he quickly laid her down and both male patiently wait for the doctor to check on her.

Just one look and you can already tell that the girl was exhausted. Cold sweats continuously dripped down her forehead as she takes multiple harsh breathings in between the severe coughs.

After checking on her, the doctor removed his stethoscope before facing the two males. “She’s in a very bad condition. I suspect malnutrition, exhaustion and fever. I suggest complete bed rest for around a week for her body to recuperate,” he sighed, before turning back to Yookyung, who’s trying her best to stay awake, “Please take it easy for the whole week. Make sure you eat a lot, as your body seems to be lacking on nutrition. Eat a lot of fruits and meat, drink milk and also lots and lots of water, Try to stay warm, rest and don’t be too stressed, ok?” the doctor kindly suggested.

Yookyung desperately wanted to shout at him and said, ‘how can I rest now?!’, yet she’s in no condition to argue. Her strength was long gone and her head felt like it was being turned upside down by a tornado.

“Woohyun-sshi, can you please bring Yookyung home. I’ll give you the address at my office. You can use our car,” the manager asked. Woohyun eagerly nodded.

The manager approached Yookyung and gazed at her pitiful state. “Yookung-sshi. You are excused to rest for as long as you need. Come back to work once you’re fully well, ok?” he smiled softly at her.

“Am… Am I fired?” she timidly asked in a very hushed voice.

He chuckled, “Of course not. happens. You just need to toughen up and you’ll be as good as new in no time, I’m sure,” he reassured.

She smiled at him before he retreated, along with Woohyun, to his office.

“Yookyung-sshi, please make sure to take good care of yourself, ok?” Woohyun softly scolded the girl who’s sitting beside him, weak.

She slowly turned her head to the man driving beside him and nodded her head, giving a slight smile.

“I’ll come by as often as I can. Just remember to eat your meals and rest. Don’t think about anything else.” He reminded.

Yookyung felt warm in the inside, as this guy reminded her of Baekhyun, who’ve lent a helping hand for her for some years before he moved on with his life, leaving her behind. She kept reminding herself to not be attached to any more person as, in the end, they need to continue and improve on their lives, and she’s in no place to help them, but rather just a parasite to their development.

“You don’t have to, Woohyun-sshi. I’ll be fine, I’m sure. It’s my fault, I’ve been overworking myself,” she politely refused.

It’s true. For almost three weeks she had been trying to distract herself from the feeling of lost and loneliness by overworking herself, to the point that she even missed one to two meals a day. She couldn’t bear to go back to an empty house, thus she had been taking night and early shifts to prevent herself from spending a lot of times at her house. She can’t even bring herself to think about the name Hoon or her baby’s face, as she’ll break down right then and there.

“Yookyung-sshi…” his voice broke her thoughts. She blinked a couple of times before turning her head to Woohyun, who had turned off the engine of the car. “We’ve reached. Wait a second, I’ll help you out,” he quickly unbuckled their seatbelts and exited the car before running to her door, opening it, and helped her descended the car.

Step by step, she helped her ascend the stairs to her rooftop room. However, when they’ve reached, there was a figure standing in front of her door. The said figure, hearing footsteps approaching, turned his body and his eyes bulged looking at the girl’s condition.

“Baek… Baekhyun-ah…” she gasped. Woohyun, not knowing the situation, just look back and forth between the two people.

“Yookyung-ah…” exasperated, he quickly approached her, taking her over from Woohyun’s grip.

“Um… I.. I guess I should… leave now. Umm… So, I’ll drop by sometimes, ok? Rest well, Yookyung-sshi,” Woohyun slightly nodded his head.

Yookyng quickly released Baekhyun’s grip before turning to Woohyun and bow multiple times, “thank you. Thank you so much, Woohyun-sshi. Drive safely,” she gratefully said and smiled at her.

“What are you doing here?” Yookyung coldly asked while trying to busy herself with boiling the water.

“Yookyung-ah, please sit down. You look like you are going to faint anytime soon,” Baekhyun pleaded while he stood in the middle of the living room, gazing at her with sad eyes.

Brushing him off, Yookyung repeated her question, “I asked, what are you doing here!” She raised her voice.

Surprised, Baekhyun stammered, “I… I was… I was just… wait. Where’s Hoon?” He asked as it was Sunday and yet, Hoon was nowhere to be seen.

Yookyung froze. A couple of fat droplets threatening to glide down her cheeks. Her hands began to shake violently. She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself.

“Yookyung-ah… are you okay?” He softly asked.

She turned her head and gave him a piercing glare, “If you have no business but to rub in my face the fact that my baby is gone because I couldn’t afford to give him a proper life, you might as well leave now! Go! Leave me alone!” She began shouting and flailing her arms around.

“Yoo… Yookyung-ah…”

Suddenly losing all her remaining energy, she dropped down to the ground

“Open your mouth,” Baekhyun softly ordered while holding the spoon full of abalone porridge in front of Yookyung’s mouth.

Yet, instead of abiding, she turned her head sideways and continues to stare at her wall.

After throwing a fit at the hospital, Baekhyun, forcefully, agreed to Yookyung’s demand of going home instead of staying at the hospital, despite the doctor’s order. She was released, but the doctor reminded Baekhyun to feed her well and let her rest completely. Yookyung nodded at the doctor’s order, and yet, here she is, still refusing to eat after twenty minutes of persuasion by Baekhyun.

He couldn’t take it anymore and slammed the bowl of porridge on the floor.

“Yookyung-sshi! Can’t you see that you are slowly killing yourself! You promised to eat well and rest at the hospital, that’s why, in the first place, I agreed to bring you home instead of admitting you to the hospital! If I knew you would act like this, I’ll ask them to put you on 24 hours watch, you hear me!” he scolded her, anger was clear in every sentence he spitted. “Also, If you knew it will kill you, why do you give your son away?!”

Yookyung’s glared at him, “don’t you dare bringing Hoon into this!” she hissed.

He smirked, “yeah? How do you think Hoon will feel if he saw your condition and knew that the reason behind it is himself, huh?” he jeered.

“BAEKHYUN!” she threatened, suddenly getting a surge of energy inside her.

They stared at each other for some time before the sound of Baekhyun’s phone broke the ice. He harshly exhaled before taking it out and answering it.

“Baekhyun speaking.”…. “Hoon-ie…”

She bulged her eyes at that name. How could Hoon…

“Uncle Baekhyun… I want… I WANT MOMMY!”

"Who... who is this, yeobo?" Jinju asked, carefully.

"He's my friend's son. She asked me take care of him for some time. She's in a very difficult condition right now," He explained. 

Jinju looked at the kid softly before breaking into a smile and gently eveloping the wailing kid in a warm hug, "it's ok, sweety. We'll take care of you."
