“Thank God Jiwoong oppa can go home this evening,” Taeyeon sighed in relief. Tiffany that walked beside her only laughed. “No need to overreact, Taeyeon. Your brother was just tiring himself. Yes, he got typhus but he only need to take a rest for a few days.” Tiffany just accompanied Taeyeon took care of Jiwoong’s administration before got out of hospital. Now they’re walked back to the room where Taeyeon’s brother treated. “I’ll be still worry even if he’s only got a scratch,” Taeyeon said nonchalantly. “You will be reacted just the same if Krystal or even Rudy was the one who got sick.” Tiffany smiled slightly and shrugged. Taeyeon wasn’t completely wrong. Taeyeon stared at Tiffany with probing gaze. “Did something bother you? What’s wrong? Is it Rudy?” Tiffany sighed and shook her head. Her best friend was indeed sensitive. Taeyeon could read Tiffany like an open book since they’re in high school. “Nothing,” she answered. “It’s just for the last two – three days I’ve been feeling that Rudy got quieter.” “Hm?” “He doesn’t talk much,” Tiffany tried to explain. “He said he got works to do so he couldn’t spare me some time to meet, we only spoke through chat app and there wasn’t much to talk about. But again, I could be overthinking.” “It isn’t impossible given you always be overthinking,” Taeyeon chuckled. “Have you tried to ask him directly? Maybe he has some kind of problem to think about.” “No, I haven’t directly asked him yet,” Tiffany decided to ask Rudy later. “By the way, thank you for sparing time to visit Jiwoong oppa,” Taeyeon uttered when they reached in front of Jiwoong’s room. “Don’t mention it,” Tiffany said lightly. “I knew Jiwoong oppa since high school and this is the first time I saw him so frail like that. I guess he can be over work too.” “Yeah, maybe it’s for his good. So he can have a nice rest.” Tiffany nodded. “Taeyeon, you come in first. I think I’m gonna find some snacks. My stomach is starting to growl.” Taeyeon waved and got into the room, while Tiffany walked to the main lobby where the vending machine was. Tiffany stopped moving when she just wanted to put the money to the vending machine. Her eyes fixed to a man who walked pass her. She blinked her eyes. “Papa?” she mumbled. She put her money back to the pocket and turned chasing her father. “Papa!” she exclaimed when they’re close enough. Her father turned and… Was it only what she felt or her father surprised to see her? “Youngie?” Her father said when Tiffany stood in front of him. “What are you doing here?” Tiffany smiled brightly although she wondered why her father looked around nervously. If she thought thoroughly, beside Rudy, her father was also become strange nowadays. She felt her father always seemed uneasy and it’s like something bothered him. She did try to ask him, but he assured that everything’s okay. “Jiwoong oppa, Taeyeon’s brother is here, typhus. I came to pay him a visit,” Tiffany answered. “Papa? What are you doing here?” Her father didn’t answer right away and Tiffany felt anxious. “Papa, are you sick?” she asked worryingly. Her father shook his head. “No, I’m fine. I also come to visit…a friend.” Tiffany lifted her eyebrows. “Oh, yeah? Who is it?” “You don’t know him,” her father evaded. “How’s Jiwoong? Is he getting better?” Tiffany nodded. “Doctor said, he can go home this evening.” Her father nodded along incuriously. “Alright then,” her father said quickly and gave her a hug. “I have to go back to COEN. You’re staying?” “Mm,” Tiffany responded. She was curious seeing her father act all hasty, totally different from his usual calm behavior. “You just go first, Papa.” After her father was gone, Tiffany came back to the vending machine thinking about her father. Her father was seemed worry earlier, was it possible her father just worried about his sick friend? She decided to ask her father later in case he wanted to talk to her. Tiffany put some money and thought a bit, she put a button two times. A few seconds later, two fruit bars got out the vending machine. She walked back to Jiwoong’s room eating one of them. But once again her steps stopped when she walked pass the hospital’s side door that lead to the park. As she chewed her last bite, she paid attention to a guy who walked toward the bench and sat on the bench at that hospital park. Oh… Rudy? Tiffany couldn’t stop herself to automatically smiling. What a day. First she met her father, now she met Rudy at the very same hospital. She immediately rushed to open the door and jogged toward the park. When she just got out, the autumn breeze dashed through her body and Tiffany shivered instantly. It’s because she left her coat and scarf in Jiwoong’s room and she only wore a black sleeveless blouse. “Rudy!” Tiffany called that guy. Changwook who was focused on the trees turned and startled after he confirmed the girl that called him. “Stephanie,” he said surprisingly. “What are you doing here?” Tiffany felt somehow funny because Changwook asked the very same question her father asked. “I came to visit Taeyeon’s brother. He got typhus,” she replied. “And you? What are you doing here? You’re not sick, aren’t you?” Cha
