章 73: Ryu Ji-Ho's Carelessness

"Ah... Dad... Mom..." Ryu Ji-ho mumbled, but suddenly a sharp pain throbbed in his head. The intense ache made him wince, and he shut his eyes tightly, hoping it would pass quickly. His world started spinning again, and the dizziness made his consciousness slip away once more. Slowly, he began drifting back into sleep.

Ryu Ji-ho fought the overwhelming urge to sleep, the hospital room door creaked open, and a doctor stepped inside.

"Is the patient awake?" the doctor asked, his voice professional but tinged with relief.

"Yes, he just opened his eyes," his mother replied, her voice full of hope.

"That's good," the doctor said, stepping closer to examine Ryu Ji-ho's condition.

But Ryu Ji-ho was already sinking deeper into sleep again, exhausted from the pain and tension of everything that had just happened.
