I woke up to find myself lying on my bed, my entire upper body bandaged from the shoulder down to my ribs.
A dull ache pulsed beneath the layers of gauze. I slowly pushed myself upright, and a wave of dizziness washed over me.
"How long… was I out?"
My voice came out hoarse and dry.
I swung my legs off the bed and steadied myself. My steps were slow, heavy, but manageable.
I walked toward the door, turned the knob, and stepped into the hallway.
As I reached the living room, I immediately spotted Kim Gae-in and So-ah standing stiffly in front of the couch, their expressions tense—almost frightened.
"What are you two doing?"
The moment I spoke, both of them snapped their heads toward me.
Their eyes widened, and in the next second—
"Oppa! You're awake!"
So-ah rushed toward me, practically vibrating with relief.
Hearing her voice, Min-seo peeked out from the kitchen, her eyes widening.
"Oppa!"
Before I could even react, she wrapped her arms around me from behind.
