The Discharge
Two weeks had passed since the incident, and Tae-hyun was finally ready to leave the hospital. As he packed his belongings, Ji-hyun, the 26-year-old woman, walked into his room. Her eyes scanned his face, searching for any signs of weakness. "Are you feeling well enough to leave?" she asked, her voice gentle but firm.
Tae-hyun looked at her suspiciously, still unsure of her intentions. "Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for taking care of me," he replied, trying to sound grateful.
Ji-hyun smiled and handed him a business card. "If you need any type of help or job so don't worry, we can recruit you.
Our organization is always looking for talented individuals like you."
Tae-hyun's mind flashed to his family's financial struggles. They could use the money, but something about Ji-hyun's offer didn't sit well with him.
The mysterious rich man, the constant surveillance – it all felt too suspicious. "I appreciate the offer, but I'll have to decline," Tae-hyun said, trying to sound simple.
Ji-hyun's expression remained neutral, but a hint of curiosity flickered in her eyes. "Very well. If you change your mind, don't hesitate to contact us." As they left the hospital, Tae-hyun couldn't shake off the feeling that he'd just made an enemy. Ji-hyun's words seemed more like a warning than a farewell.
As soon as Tae-hyun was out of earshot, Ji-hyun pulled out her phone and dialed a number. "He refused the offer," she reported, her voice low and professional.
A low, voice responded on the other end, "It's okay. Keep him safe." The call ended, leaving Ji-hyun's expression unreadable.
