After leaving Eunji's ward, Han Woo-ri returned to her own, where her friend Ji-eun was waiting. The disguise was still draped around her, a symbol of her determination and resolve.With a sense of urgency, Woo-ri approached Ji-eun, her eyes reflecting the determination that had fueled her actions.
"Ji-eun, I've made up my mind. I want to go home. I don't think I can achieve my goal by staying at this hospital any longer."
Ji-eun, however, was hesitant and concerned for her friend's well-being. She knew the risks and challenges that lay ahead, and she feared that Woo-ri might be putting herself in harm's way.
"Woo-ri, I understand your determination, but I'm worried about what could happen if you leave. This situation is dangerous, and I don't want anything bad to happen to you."
Woo-ri's eyes flashed with a mix of frustration and resolve. She had always been strong-willed, and now she was determined to assert her independence.
"Ji-eun, the last time I checked, I was 21 years old. I can't let others make decisions for me based on their fears. I need to take control of my own actions."
Ji-eun was taken aback by Woo-ri's assertiveness. She had seen her friend grow and mature, and it was clear that Woo-ri was resolute in her decision. She began to speak, attempting to voice her concerns, but Woo-ri interrupted her.
"No 'buts,' Ji-eun," Woo-ri insisted.
"I've thought this through, and I'm going to the doctor's office to request my discharge."With those words, Woo-ri left no room for further argument. She was determined to take charge of her own destiny and to support Eunji in her time of need. As she made her way to the doctor's office, her heart was filled with both trepidation and determination.
In the doctor's office, Han Woo-ri, her determination unwavering, approached the physician, Dr. Kim Tae-young. She knew the gravity of her decision and what it meant to be discharged at this stage of her illness.
"Doctor," Woo-ri began, her voice calm yet resolute, "I want to request a discharge."
Dr. Kim Tae-young regarded Woo-ri with a mix of concern and understanding. He was well aware of the seriousness of her condition and the risks associated with leaving the hospital. "Miss Han Woo-ri, are you sure of what you're saying? It's a very dangerous decision at this stage. You need to be monitored closely."
Woo-ri met the doctor's gaze with a sense of clarity. "I understand the risks, Doctor, but I've made up my mind. I want to spend my last days doing things I love. I want to try new things, embark on adventures, and find peace in my own way. I don't want to spend my remaining time in a hospital like a prisoner."
Dr. Kim Tae-young sighed, recognizing the depth of Woo-ri's determination. He had seen many patients in his career, but her resolve was exceptional. "Miss Han Woo-ri, it's my duty to ensure your well-being, but I also respect your wishes. If this is truly what you want, we'll make the necessary arrangements for your discharge."
Woo-ri's heart swelled with gratitude. She knew that her decision was unconventional, but she couldn't bear the thought of her remaining days being spent in a clinical environment. "Thank you, Doctor. I appreciate your understanding."
With the doctor's reluctant agreement, the wheels were set in motion for Woo-ri's discharge. She knew that her journey ahead would be fraught with uncertainties, but she was determined to make the most of the time she had left.
As Woo-ri prepared to leave the hospital, her heart was filled with a mixture of anticipation and gratitude. The hospital, once a place of treatment, was now a stepping stone on her path to embrace life on her own terms.
With the doctor's reluctant agreement, Dr. Kim Tae-young began making the necessary arrangements for Han Woo-ri's discharge. He understood the gravity of her decision and wanted to ensure that she had everything she needed to transition to a different way of life.
Meanwhile, Woo-ri returned to her hospital ward, determined to gather her belongings and prepare for her departure. She knew that her decision had stirred up a whirlwind of emotions among her family, friends, and medical staff.
The news of Woo-ri's impending discharge spread quickly, and soon her family arrived at the hospital, filled with concern and disbelief. Her parents, their faces etched with worry, rushed to her side, trying to understand her decision.
The hospital ward buzzed with voices as concerned family members and medical staff attempted to persuade Woo-ri to reconsider. They shared their fears and concerns about her well-being, urging her to stay in the safety of the hospital.
But Woo-ri, resolute in her decision, remained steadfast. She had made up her mind to spend her remaining days pursuing the things she loved, and she was determined to seize every moment.
Her best friend, Ji-eun, who had been with her throughout this journey, watched with a mixture of sadness and understanding. She knew that Woo-ri was not one to be easily swayed once she had set her sights on a goal.
As the chaos of conflicting emotions swirled around her, Woo-ri remained undeterred. She had made her choice, and she was ready to face the uncertain path ahead with courage and determination.
In the face of heartfelt pleas and well-intentioned concerns, Han Woo-ri's decision to be discharged from the hospital was a testament to her unwavering spirit and her determination to live life on her own terms.
As the moment of departure drew closer, an eerie stillness settled over the hospital ward. The faces of Woo-ri's family, friends, and the medical staff were adorned with smiles, but they were smiles that concealed their deep concerns and fears.
Woo-ri, lying in her hospital bed, could sense the tension in the air. She understood that her decision to be discharged had taken everyone by surprise, and they struggled to reconcile their love and concern for her with her unwavering determination.
Yet, amidst the quiet unease that enveloped the ward, Woo-ri's thoughts remained fixed on her plan for the night. She knew that there was little time to spare, and she was determined to execute her mission—her quest to help her role model Eunji seek the revenge.
As the hours passed, the facade of forced smiles began to fade, revealing the genuine concern and sadness that lay beneath. Woo-ri's family and friends understood that she was not one to be easily swayed once her mind was set, and they respected her decision even as they worried for her well-being.
Ji-eun, Woo-ri's closest friend, stood by her side, her eyes reflecting a mixture of sadness and admiration. She knew that tonight held great importance for Woo-ri, and she would support her friend in any way she could.
In the midst of this heavy silence, the night approached, bringing with it the promise of change and uncertainty. The hospital, once a place of treatment and recovery, now stood as a backdrop to a momentous decision—one that would set the course for Woo-ri's remaining days.
And as the world outside grew darker, the weight of the silence in the hospital ward seemed to magnify, carrying with it a sense of the unknown—a reminder that life's most pivotal moments often unfold in the quietest of hours.
In the midst of the lingering unease, Han Woo-ri's parents struggled to come to terms with their daughter's unexpected and hasty decision. They found themselves grappling with a mix of shock, concern, and a deep desire to understand her motivations.
Woo-ri's mother, Mrs. Park Ji-yeon, couldn't contain her worry any longer. She sought solace in speaking to her daughter's closest friend, Ji-eun, outside the hospital ward. With furrowed brows, she asked the question that had been weighing heavily on her mind.
"Ji-eun, do you know the reason for Woo's sudden request for discharge?"
Ji-eun, knowing the gravity of the situation and the importance of keeping Woo-ri's mission a secret, feigned ignorance. She replied, her voice carrying a hint of concern,
"I'm just as puzzled as you, Mrs. Park. I've asked Woo multiple times, but she hasn't shared the reason with me. It's all happened so quickly."
Mrs. Park Ji-yeon nodded, her eyes betraying her concern for her daughter. She had always trusted Ji-eun as one of Woo-ri's closest confidantes, but now it seemed even Ji-eun was in the dark about the true motivation behind Woo-ri's decision.
Before they could delve further into their conversation, the hospital's attending physician Doctor Kim tae-young with the official discharge papers in hand, Mrs. Park Ji-yeon and Ji-eun reentered the hospital ward, where Han Woo-ri was preparing to embark on the next chapter of her journey. The room was filled with an air of solemnity, and unspoken concerns hung heavily in the atmosphere.
Woo-ri looked up from her preparations as her mother and best friend approached. Her parents' expressions still bore the remnants of shock and worry, while Ji-eun's eyes conveyed her steadfast support for her friend's decision.
Mrs. Park Ji-yeon hesitated for a moment, her maternal concern battling with her respect for her daughter's choices. She finally spoke, her voice laced with both love and anxiety.
"Woo-ri, I still can't fully comprehend why you're making this decision, but I want you to promise me that you'll take care of yourself."
Woo-ri met her mother's gaze, her own eyes reflecting determination and gratitude.
"Mom, I promise I'll be careful. I need to do this."
Ji-eun, standing by Woo-ri's side, spoke up as well.
"We'll all be there to support her, Mrs. Park. We won't let her face this alone."
With the understanding that they couldn't dissuade Woo-ri from her chosen path, Mrs. Park Ji-yeon nodded, a mixture of emotions in her heart.
"Alright, but please keep us informed about your well-being. We love you, Woo-ri."
Touched by her mother's words, Woo-ri smiled warmly.
"I love you too, Mom."
As they gathered their belongings and prepared to leave the hospital, the atmosphere in the room began to shift. The hospital, once a place of illness and uncertainty, now held the bittersweet memory of a pivotal decision made by a determined young woman.
The trio, bound by love and friendship, stood together as they stepped into the unknown. The night was dark outside, but it held the promise of adventure, discovery, and, above all, the pursuit of justice.
With their hearts intertwined and their unspoken concerns held close, Han Woo-ri, her mother, and her best friend Ji-eun made their way out of the hospital, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
