Hyuras
part 24's
In other words Hyura couldn't possibly work anymore in this place.
“I'm sorry Hyura-ya.”
Hiding all her confusion and worries Hyura showed a calming smile. “This place is yours, you don't need to apologize to me KyoRin-ah. Then what about my debt to you?”
“Are you worried about that? no need to rush, you can pay if you already have money. That's my money, Hyuk Jae oppa has no problem with it.”
“Then thank you Kyorin-ah.”
“We will close the Restaurant on Tuesday tomorrow.” Kyorin opened a drawer from the table beside her, took out an envelope and thrust it at Hyura. “This is your salary for this month.”
“Thank you, thank you very much Kyorin-ah.”

Just like always, this time Kyuhyun chose to go home to the hospital rather than alone in the Apartment. Later that day he came to meet Da Eun, accompanied the little girl to lunch and play together. Hyura was not there at the time.
And still not home yet.
“Da Eun-ah.”
The little girl turned her head from the lego she was stacking to Kyuhyun who was sitting on the chair beside her bed.
“You stay with Appa?”
Only a few weeks ago Da Eun was able to meet Kyuhyun, in her view as a child she thought that her father must have invited her and her mother to live together. So with a slightly bright expression he nodded.
“Da Eun wants to stay with Appa.”
“Really?”
Da Eun nodded again. “What at home Appa there are many toys?”
Kyuhyun still had not thought about it, there was nothing in his house that a 3-year-old could play. Not even a thumb-sized doll existed. But, he can prepare all things while waiting for Da Eun's recovery after surgery.
“There are so many toys, all for you.”
The boy clenched his right hand happily. “Assa.”
The smile was contagious to Kyuhyun who was again amazed at Da Eun's expression, the man even extended his hand to wipe the tip of his daughter's head because of anxiety. Hyura must have been feeling this way since Da Eun's birth, and she had only experienced it for a few weeks.
“It looks like you're very happy, Da Eun-ah.”
Lee Donghae came in a sterile blue dress with a nurse carrying several bottles of medicine on an aluminum object.
“Nemo Ahjussi.”
As if ignoring Kyuhyun who was staring at him wryly, Donghae approached Da Eun's bed. “Your mother hasn't come home?” And it seemed very deliberate to ask Hyura who still did not come home even though it was very dark outside.
To answer Nemo Ahjussi Da Eun's question shook her head. “Ani.”
Donghae leaned closer to the boy, Da Eun whining every time her medication schedule came. “Unfortunately it's time for you to take the medicine, ahjumma the nurse brought some syrup that you should drink.”
The happy expression of the child vanished, replaced with a sad look. The boy even shook his head several times as an act of rejection, until when should he take the medicine?
“Tonight Da Eun will not take medicine, Nemo Ahjussi.”
“Wae? Didn't Da Eun say she wanted to get well? Ahjussi told me, if Da Eun is cured Nemo Ahjussi will not forbid you from eating a lot of Ice Cream, you can also play outside. Swing, slide, sand. Everything was. How?”
Da Eun kept shaking.
Donghae looks unseen about giving up, he already knows Da Eun too much. “Then Nemo Ahjussi will not return the pororo doll that Da Eun gave that time.”
“Aniya.”
Not wanting to just stay still Kyuhyun touched Da Eun's folded legs to call attention, the man pressed his left elbow on the bed while his right hand was on Da Eun's thigh. “If Da Eun taking Appa's medicine will give you a lot of toys when we go home later, Da Eun wants what toys?”
“Very big pororo doll.” Da Eun shows how big a doll she wants with both hands.
“Alright, After you get out of here we will buy a very large pororo doll.”
“Arasseo.”
Da Eun said, with her left hand clasping Kyuhyun's hand the boy received a mouthful of syrup medicine that he had to swallow. She wants to cry, but the touch of Kyuhyun's hand in her hand makes her recall the pororo doll that Kyuhyun promised.
If she cried it was possible that Kyuhyun would not give it to her.
“Aigoo, smart boy.”
Donghae handed Da Eun a bottle of water. “Now you can sleep, nemo ahjussi will be back again tomorrow.”
