âWhatâs wrong?â asked Yiyoung, âWhy did you stop eating?â
âThat much was enough,â he answered.
It was absolutely nonsensical for a tall and well-built guy like him to eat the amount of food a bird would eat. With such a small amount of food, Yiyoung thought, he wouldnât be able to do anything! So she tried giving some of her food.
âItâs okay,â Muyeol said.
âMy arm will start hurting if I have to wait any longer for you to eat this.â
âWhy donât you eat it?â
âLetâs eat together and gain weight together!â
Without even realizing, Muyeol let out a scoff, and then ate what she gave him. .
Once she was done eating, Yiyoung stood up. She couldnât feel her hips from having remained seated for so long, and she wanted to brush her teeth, too.
The person inside the bathroom Yiyoung stood in front of was taking too long, so she ended up using the bathroom on the other side. She felt refreshed after brushing her teeth. But on her way back to her seat, Yiyoung noticed a woman from a foreign country.
Yiyoung came to stop as she stared at the womanâs face; it did not look good at all. From just a brief look at her, Yiyoung could tell the woman was experiencing cold sweat, and her lips were turning slightly blue, too. The woman was walking slowly while clenching her stomach, seemingly having indigestion. After watching the woman return to her seat, Yiyoung sought out a flight attendant.
âYes, maâam. Do you need anything?â asked the flight attendant.
âIâll warn you now, Iâm a bit nosyâ¦â started Yiyoung.
The flight attendant didnât understand what Yiyoung meant to say. Sheâd already received a call from the purser, whoâd informed her that Yiyoung was Muyeolâs wife. But since she was aware that Muyeol hated receiving special treatment from the employees, she didnât treat Yiyoung any differently. Still, everyone was nervous, trying not to make a mistake. And it was amongst this anxiousness that Yiyoung had approached the flight attendant. So the poor attendant assumed she was going to get fired or something.
The attendant automatically turned stiff from nervousness, but she forced herself to smile. âIf thereâs anything making you uncomfortable, please let me know. Weâll fix it right away.â
But Yiyoung didnât feel uncomfortable at all. She continued with what she wanted to tell the flight attendant. âDo you see that lady with light brown hair sitting in the back row?â
âWhat? What is it?â the flight attendant thought curiously. She quickly searched for the woman Yiyoung was talking about. Upon finally seeing her, she realized that it was the same woman who had talked about having symptoms of indigestion and asked for medicine earlier.
âUmâ¦â Yiyoung thought for a bit and then said, âI donât think this is something as simple as indigestion.â
âWhat do you mean? I donât understandâ¦â
âIâm worried about that ladyâs condition. Can you observe her for a bit more, and if something happens, can you call me?â Yiyoung added, âOh, by the way, Iâm Yoon Yiyoung, and Iâm a doctor at the ER at Seoul S University Hospital.â
âYouâre a doctor?â
âYes. I hope Iâm just being nosy and nothing happens to her, but Iâm still slightly concerned about her.â
The flight attendant patted her chest in relief and responded in a friendly manner. âThank you for your concern. I hope thereâs nothing wrong with the lady, but if there are any signs, Iâll let you know.â
âThank you. My seat isââ
âWe all know where your seat is, maâam.â
Yiyoung suddenly turned beet-red. She wondered if she was being too nosy and had done something unnecessary.
But the flight attendant displayed her gratitude with a smile. âThank you so much for letting us know. Weâll observe her continuously, and if something happens, weâll immediately seek your help.â
âOkay.â Yiyoung hid her red cheeks with both hands and muttered, âItâs embarrassingâ¦â
âDo you need anything else? Would you like any drinks?â
âNo, no. I already had enough drinks. Thank you, though.â
âThank you,â the flight attendant replied.
