Chapter 91: The weight of a restaurant (4)

".........My head is ringing. Don't shout."

Jo Minjoon forced a groan and barely spoke. Kaya looked at him with reddened eyes. Tears gathered and while it seemed like it would fall at any moment, Kaya endured it. She opened her mouth. Her rough and hard voice was trembling.

"I'm sorry. I, I........"
"The tap was the one at fault. Why are you sorr-ugh.......!"

At the feeling that his neck burnt, Jo Minjoon closed his eyes tightly and bit his lips. It was a pain so horrible it didn't make him able to control his expression. Jo Minjoon grinded his teeth and quickly took out his cooking uniform and threw it. At that cold air, he thought that the pain momentarily disappeared, but after a while it began to burn again.

The doctor, who was hesitating because the oil might pop again, approached Jo Minjoon with an alert face and raised him up. At the accident, Chloe asked with a surprised voice.

"Do-doctor. He's fine, right?"
"I don't know if I should call this fortunate, but the injury isn't severe. There are blisters at some parts, but they are mostly first degree. If he takes care of it well, there will be no infections. Although the problem is the ion........ I'm sorry. It seems like it's unavoidable for a scar to appear."

The doctor spoke with an unconfident attitude. Kaya clenched her fists with an angry face, but it wasn't because she was angry at someone else. She didn't like herself. Korea? Immigration? There's no point in worrying about that if she always end up committing accidents such as this.

The doctor placed a wet towel in warm water, put it over the injury, and opened the mouth.

"You will have to keep replacing the towel. If you feel that the heat is getting dispersed, wash it with cold water. You will have to stay like this for at least 30 minutes."
"I will do it!"

The moment when Kaya was going to open her mouth, Chloe took a step before her. She looked at Jo Minjoon with a teary face.

"My god....... It really hurts, right?"
"It does hurt. But times like this also happen."
He tried to force out a calm laugh, but only convulsions appeared on his face. Chloe let out a sigh and changed the towel. The water was that was covering his skin was pressing down the pain. Jo Minjoon said with an exhausted voice.

"Thanks."
"........Don't make me worried. It's also hard for those that are looking."
"Sorry."
"And don't be sorry."

Chloe pouted her lips. Kaya just looked at him and only then did she feel the pain in her hand. Perhaps she got a little burnt when she was wiping off the oil from his neck, that his palm hurt a little. Kaya didn't say anything and just went to the sink and turned the cold water. Jo Minjoon, that was looking at what Kaya was doing twitched his brows.

"Kaya, did you perhaps get burnt?"
"This much can't be considered a burn. Don't mind."
"How can I not mind? Doctor! Please check Kaya's hand too."

At those words, the doctor checked Kaya's hands. And then, shook his head. Only after Jo Minjoon had heard that it wasn't an injury did Jo Minjoon let out a sigh of relief. Chloe's eyes that was looking at him got quite complicated. She opened her mouth with a low voice.

"How gentle can you be? You got this big of an injury in your neck and you have the leisure to worry about others....... no, about Kaya?"
"..........It's not about worrying or not. I can see it with my eyes."

Chloe didn't say anything. She felt that she wouldn't feel good with whatever she said. And she knew really well why she was feeling like that and the reason for it. Chloe let out a sigh and changed the towel.
