章節 12: A small child
Ray didn't know what to tell her. Like almost every other person in the world, he too knew what horrors existed in the world but they couldn't grasp the depth of it until they saw it with their own eyes.
Ray had witnessed a complete darker side of life tonight.
He felt like a child; a small child who had cried in front of this woman sitting beside him last night just because he couldn't get some shiny new toy. Although Aera's rejection was filled with the cruelty of some other kind of pain; still what he saw today was a fresh experience for him. What he went through that night was sure to remain with him for the rest of his life.
The grim determination on Ye-Jin's face and her lack of any kind of expression when she was dealing with such a serious situation amazed him. He was more surprised by the fact that she didn't show even an ounce of panic when she was cradling the little frail girl's head in her lap. It clearly showed her experience and it unknowingly didn't sit well with him that Ye-Jin was constantly exposed to such brutality of the society.
He was amazed by what Ye-Jin did apart from teaching. They were worlds apart. He was brought out by his musings when Ye-Jin stood up staring at someone who was coming towards them.
Ye-Jin: brother?!
Shin Jay: (hugging her) Jin! you are fine right? Sooru called and told me what happened tonight.
Ye-Jin: yes bro, I am fine. (Pointing to Ray) Thanks to Ray, he helped me and also kept me occupied. Ray this is Shin Jay-
Shin Jay: (gratefully) Thank you for being with her Ray.
Ray: that's what friends are for Mr Shin.
Shin Jay: (chuckling) my wife would have killed me if something had happened to her little sister.
Ye-Jin: (embarrassed) bro! it was not a big deal like firing, goons or something, stop being dramatic.
Shin Jay: Can't help myself Ye-Jin. I am glad you haven't hurt yourself like always when you get mad.
Ye-Jin: (flushing) bro! That was one time. Stop embarrassing me.
Shin Jay: (patting her head) I am sorry but you didn't tell me you were friends with Ray?
Ye-Jin: (looking back and forth between them owlishly) you guys know each other?
Ray: (smirking) I am world star Ye-Jin-
Ye-Jin: that's not what I meant. Do you know each other personally?
Shin Jay: (nodding) your bro-in-law is an awesome lawyer Ye-Jin.
Ye-Jin: (rolling her eyes) whatever!
Ray: (chuckling) I am his client. In fact, most of our company is.
Shin Jay: and I am honoured by it.
They would have continued their light banter if they weren't interrupted by Sooru who came out looking for Ye-Jin.
Sooru: sis! the doctor is asking for you.
He successfully cut in through the momentary light mood. He had a grim expression on his face as if he had seen death.
The other two guys followed Ye-Jin into the hospital where the doctor was waiting for them in front of the operation theatre.
Her face went completely blank out of practice whenever delivering or receiving the bad news.
Ye-Jin: yes doctor?
Doc: the good news is that the girl gave birth to a baby girl.
Ye-Jin: and?
Doc: we couldn't save the girl she had suffered from a lot of internal bleeding-
