Descendants of the Sun

Chapter 28~THIRD-PERSON POV~A Sunday midnight in early September.

In the Medicube, Min-jae was still limping around. He was limping with a serum stand. He found some survivors who were treated by the medical team. They were sitting on the hospital beds like a group.

"Jugi." Min-jae spoke.

One survivor looked up at him.

"Ne." The survivor spoke.

"Have you seen Mr. Ko? I almost died from that whole chaos, though." Min-jae asked them, then sighed.

He was relieved that he passed through the devastating earthquake.

"Where is that old man? He's not worried about me, is he?" Min-jae asked about Manager Ko, not knowing that he died a while ago.

"He's over there." A survivor pointed a paper stuck on a door's window behind Min-jae.

Min-jae turns around, but looked confused why the survivor pointed the paper on the door's window. He limps towards the door and saw the list of the deceased. He skimmed the names down until he found Manager Ko's name on the list. He quietly shed tears; it was painful and doubtful to hear that Manager Ko would die with a hard helmet on. He looked really pissed off but at the same time, he felt he wanted to collapse and die.

"You are a horrible old man. I thought your safety hat was on." Min-jae softly cried and sniffled.

"That is how I stayed alive. I listened to what you said for the first time." Min-jae shuddered while shedding tears.

"How can you do this to me?! How can you do this?!" Min-jae bawled out that he smacked the door with his hand and the list fell down.

Min-jae crouched down the floor, having an emotional breakdown. From the next room, Chi-hoon stood next to the door, saw him breaking down and cries in his own guilty tears.

"Wae?! Where did you go?!" Min-jae's sobs made Chi-hoon cry more.

Chi-yun was behind Chi-hoon at a far distance. Chi-yun's face looked really annoyed. Tears fell out from her eyes, but she began doubting of Chi-hoon's tears over Min-jae's cries.

"How Chi-hoon cry over Min-jae when Chi-hoon doesn't know what he's crying about?" Chi-yun thought.

"Well, I already told Min-jae that he should be responsible for his actions and words towards me. I know he deserves that consequence to suffer, and I'm satisfied with that." Chi-yun thought.

Chi-yun walked away from the 'mourning', trying to ignore the cries. She kept walking in the hallway, knowing that she'll be satisfied of seeing Min-jae suffering. However, she stopped for a moment.

"What were you thinking, Chi-yun? Are you satisfied of seeing that patient you scolded earlier, suffering of his lost boss and friend? Are you the only one happy in the middle of tragedy? You think they're going to accept your satisfaction just because he deserved that slap from you?" Thoughts echoed in Chi-yun's mind.

Chi-yun stood quiet to hear those voices in mind. Her lips began to tremble; her eyes twitched as if something annoyed her sight. More tears formed in her eyes; her heart felt pinned of pain and sorrow. She quietly sobbed as her hands covered her face.

"Oh, no, no, no! What am I doing? What are you trying, you fool? You can't bear with this bunch of--" Chi-yun tearfully grumbled; she side-punched the wall, making an echoing, loud bang.

She was having a rage attack. She gritted her teeth; she was steaming up with anger. She nearly screamed out of anger and kept crying. She leaned against the wall and deeply sighed. She inhaled and exhaled as her rage attack began to calm down.
