Thanks to Tae-Shik, Gi-Gyu was able to get a quick shower before going to the hospital. It had been a while since Gi-Gyu last visited his mother, but his mother didn’t act disappointed or blame him. Instead, she just felt guilty, believing her son was overworking because of her. 

As it turned out, Yoo-Jung was the one doing all the scolding. “Do you have any idea how much Mother has suffered recently? Just her headaches had been so terrible that she couldn’t sleep!” 

Gi-Gyu had asked the doctor to keep Yoo-Jung and their mother in darkness about the diagnosis. So, Yoo-Jung had no idea why he was acting so irrationally or why he stayed inside the Tower for so long. 

When Gi-Gyu held Yoo-Jung’s hands gently, she stammered, “H-have you lost your mind, Oppa? What are you doing?!”

“Please take care of Mother even if I’m not around.” Gi-Gyu made a quiet request. 

“W-wh-what? What are you talking about?!” Yoo-Jung asked in confusion.

“Just… I think I won’t be able to visit her for a while. That’s all.”

“That’s all? Are you sure there isn’t anything more? Oppa, I’m going to graduate and start working soon, so… Just hold on for a bit longer. Please, don’t do anything dangerous. I’ll make lots of money; then, you can retire. We’ll open a small cafe and live off of it,” Yoo-Jung promised. 

“Don’t worry, Yoo-Jung,” Gi-Gyu reassured his sister and stood up.
