1. And so, just two months after being discharged, doyeon ended up back in the hospital.

2. There was a bit of drama, but things were handled much more calmly than last time.

1. Thankfully, she recovered a lot faster too. 2. The doctor said her case wasn't unusual among patients who've gone through traumatic events.

1. They'd barely eat, and spend most of the day asleep. 2. But she seemed to deliberately avoid calling it "Depression." 3. After being given a referral

1. Given a referral for counseling and a support center... 2. Doyeon suddenly came to a realization.

1. Society really does have well-built systems for things like this.

1. Being broken doesn't mean you should be thrown away. You're fixed, rehabilitated, and made whole again. 2. That's the way it ought to be.

1. Even though she'd been working towards becoming a doctor, it still felt like an epiphany. 2. She felt like maybe it was okay to cut herself some slack.

1. Meanwhile... 2. ... Jin joo spent that entire time pissed.

1. She didn't say a word the entire time we were in the hospital...

1. "Thank you for taking care of me, jin joo." 2. "...but I'm fine now, promise!" 5. "I can even take care of my own meals now!" 7. "So...you don't have to worry about me."

1. "You're free to move in to the new place now!" 2. "..." 3. "You're impossible..." 4. "Did you seriously learn nothing after this incident?"

1. "What...?" 2. "Haa..." 3. "Forget it." 4. "Let's go. Lunch is on me." 5. "...?"

1. "...???" 2. "Lunch?"

2. "..."

1. "Come on." 2. "!" 3. "You're here!" 4. "Hm? And who's the pretty young lady beside you?"

1. "My roommate. She's the one who fainted." 2. "Two bowls of the soup, please." 3. "Got it!"

1. "I'll add a lot of green onions for you two." 2. "They'll be out in a bit!" 4. Do they know each other...?

1. "So? What do you think?"

1. "It's delicious!" 2. "...oh, right. You usually eat whatever's put in front of you." 3. Your taste buds have no standards... 4. "Why did I even bother asking...?"

1. "No, it's actually really good!" 2. "It has this...clean, natural flavor..." 3. "They put msg in these." 4. "...yeah, a classic flavor everyone loves!"

1. "Well, you're not wrong. That's why it gets busy here during lunch." 2. "The owner and the cook said they were short-staffed..."

1. "...so I went ahead and applied to work here."

1. "..." 2. "...what?" 3. "It's been two weeks since I've worked here." 4. "I mean, I missed a few days after you got hospitalizied, but still..."

1. "If you'd come out of your room and eaten properly once in a while, you'd know how much my cooking's improved-" 2. "You got a job, jin"

1. "Joo?!"

1. "Hey!" 2. "Don't shout! We're in public!"

1. "Are you serious?!" 2. "So you're employed now?"

1. "...!!!"

1. "Yeah, I am!" 2. "I'm a proper member of soceity! Got a problem with that?!" 3. "...!!!"

1. "Wow...!" 2. "Just... Wow!!!" 3. "That's so cool, jin joo!"

1. "How'd you land it so easily, like it was nothing?!" 2. "Wow...!" 3. "...that's just how it works with jobs."

1. "Seriously, this is amazing!!" 2. "Can you stop already?!" 3. "It's not like I passed the bar or anything!" 4. "..." 5. "Anyway"

1. "...anyway..." 2. "We're here!" 3. "...do you like it here?" 4. "Yeah, it's"

1. "Lovely!!" 2. "Hehe" 3. "Lovely? Oh, you deserve something extra"

1. "For that! Here, some marinated crabs." 2. "Wow!!"

1. "Hmm mm♪" 2. "You're that happy about this?" 3. "Of course!"

1. "You managed to get a job like it was the easiest thing in the world!" 2. "Plus, the owner said you're a good worker!" 3. "Do you have any idea how hard that is in this market?!"

1. "But I knew you could do it, jin joo!" 2. "Seriously, big ups to you!"

1. "..." 2. It's probably because I had someone like you to cheer me on. 3. I guess that's what gave me the courage.

1. "...let's sit here for a moment." 2. "?" 3. "You tired?" 4. "You feel like throwing up, don't you?"

1. "...!" 2. "Just because you're eating well now doesn't mean your symptoms disappear overnight."

1. "Haa..." 3. "Look, doyeon."

1. "I used to think you wanted to save me."

1. "At first, I figured you had some good kid, savior complex." 2. "Then I thought you just wanted"

1. "Me." 2. "I never really understood why you were so kind." 3. "But in"

1. "The end, you were the one asking to be saved."

1. "I know you're carrying this guilt inside you."

1. "You've never said it out loud, but I know it's there."

1. "..." 2. "But I..." 3. "I abandoned my family."

1. "Back at the orphanage, I took an opportunity that could've gone to another child." 2. "Strange as it sounds, I thought that's what you had to do to get a family."

1. "It was selfish." 2. "I'm really not so different from chanyang."

1. He made so many mistakes because he was a coward. 2. I didn't want to live like that.

1. "You're right, jin joo."

1. "In a way, I saw you as a way to atone." 2. "I didn't do it consciously, but...that's what it was."

1. "And now..." 2. "...now I know..." 3. "...what I have to do."

1. "Is that what you're doing right now?" 2. "That's why you're keeping your distance?" 3. "What is"

1. "This, some kind of personal growth thing?"

1. "We both know we tend to have a bad influence on each other." 2. "So if we want to grow, this is something we need."

1. "Jin joo...?"

1. "It feels like a hundred years have passed since I was holed up in this place..."

1. Back then, this little apartment was my entire universe. 2. The person I was then... 3. ...and the person I am now

1. Am now... 2. ... What's changed? 3. "Jin-"

1. "You're right."

1. "People shouldn't live their lives for someone else."

1. "You can't rely on others to be your salvation." 2. "If you want to stand on your own two feet, you've got to do it yourself."

1. "But here's the thing."

1. "You still can't get through life alone." 2. In the end, we all need a little help.

1. "...jin-"

1. "We learn to walk on our own..." 2. "...but we also learn how to walk beside others."

1. So I'm staying. 2. I don't need the studio apartment.

1. "You and I are going back inside our home, and we're going to talk." 2. "Got it?"

1. "..."

1. "Okay."
