Hyun Jung picked up Somi from the hospital. She was finally discharged and will even receive treatment from a well known psychiatrist.
"How are you feeling now?" he asked.
"A little better," she sniffed. "Relieved even."
Hyun Jung helped to load her luggage into his car. They had kept the media away by giving out false information about her discharge date. Somi was wearing sunglasses and a face mask to avoid any unwanted attention and was permitted to exit from the backside of the building.
Hyun Jung opened the car door for her and she slid into the passenger seat. Buckling her seat belt, she felt ready to go home and nap.
They drove off, leaving the dull hospital behind.
"How's Mirae doing?" she asked. Even though they had talked that morning, she felt as if Mirae was hiding her pain even from Somi.
