"Jimin, you don't have to worry. I am taking you home today," Mr. Jeon's voice carried a soothing reassurance, a beacon of hope in the midst of uncertainty.
"Home? Busan?" Jimin's voice quivered with a mixture of anticipation and apprehension. Busan, his hometown, held memories both bitter and sweet, a place where he longed to return yet feared to confront.
"Mm... We'll do it like this. Since you can't stand on your own feet yet, we will stay at my place for a while. When you're feeling better, I'll take you to Busan. Deal?" Mr. Jeon's proposal hung in the air, a lifeline extended to Jimin in his time of need.
"Okay. But Mr. Jeon! Am I not a burden? I mean, I can't walk. I can't do anything on my own. So, I will become an extra burden to you," Jimin's voice wavered with self-doubt, the weight of his dependency pressing heavily upon him.
"Aigoo, my little one! I was the one who did this to you. If it weren't for me, you would never have fallen into trouble like this," Mr. Jeon's words carried a tinge of remorse, a silent acknowledgment of the role he played in Jimin's misfortune.
"No, Mr. Jeon. If that day hadn't happened, I would have definitely lost my life," Jimin's response held a note of conviction, a testament to his resilience in the face of adversity.
"Sh!!! Let's forget about it. We will go now. I will meet the doctor and then, my Jiminie is going with me!" With a gentle pat on Jimin's head, Mr. Jeon departed to confer with the doctor, leaving Jimin to ponder the twists and turns of fate that had brought him to this moment.
As Jimin gazed out of the window, his mind drifted back to the events that had reshaped his life. The harrowing ordeal of the accident, the agonizing wait as he lay unconscious for 21 days, and then, the unexpected encounter with Mr. Jeon... Each memory was a thread woven into the tapestry of his existence, each moment a stepping stone on the path to an uncertain future.Meeting Mr. Jeon had been a turning point, a glimmer of light in the darkness that had threatened to engulf him. Yet, as Jimin contemplated the road ahead, he couldn't help but wonder what other surprises awaited him on his journey home.

"Wow!!! I have never seen a house as big as this!!! Oh my god!!!" Jimin's exclamation echoed through the car, his eyes widening with wonder as he took in the sight before him.Mr. Jeon observed the innocent excitement in Jimin's expression, a warm smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
