Chapter 25 Ya Xian's Injury
Feeling troubled by his unexpected rise to fame, Jung Do-hoon said goodbye to Bae Dong-young in the parking lot of Incheon Airport.
It was already noon when they returned to Seoul from Incheon Airport, and there was no need to go to the office anymore, so they both chose to go home separately.
Before going home, Bae Dong-yong decided to pick up his daughter from school. As a diplomat, he had not been able to provide his wife and daughter with a good life, and he often worked overtime and had little time to spend with his family.
Today, having a rare free time, this administrative officer, who is always easily exhausted, managed to perk up after a long flight and took a taxi directly to his daughter's school.
That's why Jung Do-hoon started to wonder if he should also pick Ya-hsien up from get off work.
Even though Jung Do-hoon has been back in South Korea for over a month after finishing his overseas assignment, he has still not picked Ya-hsien up from get off work.
She finishes training around 5 p.m. every day and then takes the subway home by herself. Wouldn't she be happy if she found her oppa waiting for her at the door when she got off work?
With this question in mind, Jung Do-hoon returned home and, unusually, drove to the vicinity of YG.
In his previous life, Jung Do-hoon returned to Seoul two years later. By then, Ah-hyun had already debuted and was living in the company dormitory. Both of them were busy with their own careers and it was difficult for them to have any contact.
The siblings' relationship developed, but it wasn't until Ya-Hsien had been in the industry for five years and was no longer so busy, and Zheng Dao-Xun was officially promoted to director and no longer had to handle so many administrative tasks, that the two had time to see each other more often.
However, Ya-hsien doesn't seem to like her future sister-in-law very much. Even when Sana Minato tries to please her, Ya-hsien is indifferent and doesn't respond at all. She is completely different from the cute and gentle younger sister that Jung Do-hoon remembers from his childhood.
Forget about past lives; we're in two different timelines now, and the butterfly effect has changed so much.
Including Ya-Hsien, after spending more than a month together, Jung Do-Hsun discovered that his younger sister was actually a bit cunning in private, always talking about him openly and secretly in Chinese.
Silly sister, don't think that just because you started learning Chinese at seven, your Chinese ability is much better than your oppa's, who only started learning Chinese at eighteen.
Your oppa is a diplomat, after all, and he studied there for four years.
It's just that your oppa doesn't speak Chinese much in front of you, so he's just being considerate.
I'm picking you up from get off work today, which is a small way of making up for the belated sibling bond from a past life.
Jung Do-hoon's bag also contained some small trinkets he had casually bought from Indonesia. He had bought them with Bae Dong-young at the airport duty-free shop, since Bae Dong-young always wanted to buy his daughter some small gifts after a business trip.
But... waiting for his sister to get off work was just too boring. Jung Do-hoon was scrolling through news about himself in the parking lot when he fell asleep without even realizing it.
It wasn't until a bell rang that Jung Do-hoon realized he had just fallen asleep.
Luckily, he was sleeping with the car window open, otherwise it would have been extremely dangerous.
Zheng Daoxun answered the call from an unknown number. It was a middle-aged woman who sounded very anxious.
"Excuse me, is this Jung Do-hoon? I'm Ya-hsien's dance teacher. Are you available to come to the hospital now?"
"What happened?" Zheng Daoxun drove to a nearby hospital, where the woman on the phone explained the whole story—
Ya-Hsien injured her foot while practicing dance. Although she has been taken to the hospital, it is still necessary to notify her immediate family members.
When Zheng Daoxun arrived, Ya Xian was sitting on a chair in the corridor, her eyes red from crying. Fortunately, her dance teacher stayed by her side the whole time, constantly comforting her.
"Hello, I'm Ya-hsien's oppa." After chatting with the dance teacher for a few minutes, Jung Do-hoon finally understood Ya-hsien's general situation.
It seems that no matter how strong the wind is blown by a butterfly's wings, it can't change everything.
In her previous life, Ya Xian was also injured before her debut and even missed the stage for her official debut. She didn't rejoin the group until several months later.
It's said that it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. Although Ya Xian's injury doesn't look serious, the orthopedic doctor said she needs to rest at home for at least two to three months. The extent of her recovery will determine whether she can participate in team activities.
"There are still a few months before the group's official debut, so don't worry too much." Jung Do-hoon sat down next to his sister and gently put his arm around her shoulder.
Ya Xian is really petite, and this feeling is even more pronounced when you hold her in your arms, making you instinctively want to protect her.
"Oppa, do you think I'll be unable to debut?"
"Oh no! How could that be? Our Ya-Hsien was the first officially announced member, how could she not debut? If you don't debut, it will be a loss for the entire K-pop industry..."
Zheng Daoxun offered a few words of comfort to his sister, knowing that he was just offering empty words that could only provide psychological comfort. He then asked his sister for the phone number of the team leader in charge of the Babymonster project at the company and called him.
He wanted to ask the other party how they would handle Ya Xian's sudden injury, but when the other party heard his name was Zheng Daoxun, they hesitated for a moment and said that they did not have the authority and needed to consult their superiors.
Soon, another middle-aged man called, and Zheng Daoxun put the call on speakerphone.
After all, he's an older brother, and he has to play the role of a father figure. In situations like this, it's necessary for him to step up and help his sister get the best possible outcome.
As soon as the other party spoke, Ya Xian recognized it as Yang Xianshuo's voice. However, his tone was completely different from when he chatted with his employees. He was even quite polite.
"It's our chief producer," Ya-Hsien whispered in Jung Do-Hsun's ear, wiping away her tears.
Zheng Daoxun recounted the whole story.
Yang Hyun-suk made numerous promises that he would never let Ya-hsien's injury affect her debut, and assured her that Ya-hsien was a core member of Babymonster and that he would definitely allocate resources to her in the future. They talked for nearly ten minutes before hanging up the phone.
When Zheng Daoxun looked at Xian Yaxian again, the girl had stopped crying. She was just holding his arm and resting her head on his shoulder.
Actually, the brother and sister had almost never had such physical contact before. Perhaps it was because the sudden injury made the girl feel a sense of crisis, and her brother Jung Do-hoon appeared in time when she was most helpless and stood up for her, which made the sister feel dependent on him.
"Let's get ready to go home." Zheng Daoxun handed Ya Xian the crutches provided by the hospital. However, it was the girl's first time using crutches, so she was not very skilled. Zheng Daoxun had to squat down, carry Ya Xian on his back, and pick up the crutches with his other hand as they walked towards the parking lot.
"Oppa, why did you come so quickly today? Isn't the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jongno-gu?"
"After I got off the plane today, I drove to the vicinity of YG, intending to pick you up from get off work."
"I thought you, a workaholic, would go back to the office and continue working..."
"Huh? I am ambitious, but I'm not exactly a workaholic..."
"You work overtime until 8 or 9 pm every day!"
