Hei-Ran threw herself into an anxious pace across the breadth of the living room as she anticipated Dan-Han's call. It was morning, and she longed to know the result of his visit to Mr. Yang last night. She wasn't sure if she should be patient and await his call or be impatient and put a call across to him first. It was a dilemma. She picked up her phone from the table but sighed and laid it back.
The anticipation was driving her mad. She had barely slept after returning home with Jin-Hai from the hospital at the earliest hours of the morning. Her restlessness wasn't solely to the tendrils of worry wrapped around her spine for A-Yeong — who, according to the doctor, had signed against medical advice and left the hospital despite the bad state she was in, but her restlessness had more to do with the imaginations of what was going on between Dan-Han and Mr. Yang.
