Not Bad! The Female Lead Returns (DISCONTINUED)

#11 Na Na Na

After changing clothes, the man together with Na Re-yee was now in their car.

He felt Re-yee turn the heater up even though he just took a warm bath.

Surely, the lady was afraid he would catch a cold.

The atmosphere in the car was stifled as a palpable tension rose.

Both of them refused to talk.

Na Re-yee drove out of the hospital. The streets flew past outside but the view was irrelevant for the man couldn't see.

The stoplight flashed red.

He felt the car temporarily stop and decided that the unpleasant silence was enough.

"Noona," came the smooth placid voice. [1]

"Still mad?"

Na Re-yee sighed.

"Can I stay mad for long?"

He went silent.

"You know I won't worry about you even if you go out on your own. But you went without telling anything and it's raining. You really don't care for the people worrying about you."

The car moved again.

A beep sounded and light shot up from where the stereo should be. The hologram activated.

"Young mistress treats young master as a kid even though you know that he's always with me."

The voice was slightly monotonous but still very life-like. A miniature of a man wearing formal hanbok was projected.

His speech even had the accent of old and the right inflection. Who would know that he was just an artificial intelligence?

"Chang really knows how to defend your young master."

"But of course, this Chang is created by the young master to be his eyes. I will do my utmost to assist the young master always." The figure made of complex arrays of intersecting light elegantly flipped his long red hair.

Thanks to him, the pressure broke.

Na Re-yee shook her head helplessly.

She glanced sideways. Her brother was silent again.

"Jeongi, the results are still the same."

Na Il-jeong quietly hummed in reply, taking it lightly.

Usually, they wouldn't go to the hospital for his monthly checkup but Dr. Lim couldn't personally visit because of some matters and the siblings had to schedule an appointment at the hospital.

He felt a hand on his arm as though comforting him.

"I'm fine."

"I know but we won't give up. It's not that there are no cases like yours. We only need time-"

"Noona..." He interrupted her.

He didn't really want to talk about this again.

Silence recommenced.

Some time in between, Chang logged off by himself without their notice.

Na Re-yee glanced at her brother a couple of times. Her eyes masked her worry and blues.

Nevertheless, Na Il-jeong sensed her true feelings.

He leaned back on the headrest and just closed his eyes. There was no difference.

He was still covered by nothingness and he liked it this way.

After dropping off his brother at their residence, Na Re-yee proceeded to drive towards Gisa[2], the most prominent business district of the capital Cheol.
