Chapter 28 - The Sleeping?

Danny listened on their communication device while looking at Sok-ji who was cooking ramyeon.

"Joe, Walter has come out of Sunny's room, don't you want to see her?"

"Later, it's already cooked, it's better if we eat it first."

Sok-ji put the pot containing Ramyeon on the dining table, he smiled seeing Danny who was genuinely happy to see a large pot of Ramyeon in front of his eyes.

But when he compared several of the bodyguards in the mansion, Danny seemed to look younger than the others.

"Dan, I wanted to ask, you look young. But you've been in the military for 3 years, but why did you end up here?"

"Ah, that's the question."

"Is my question offensive? I'm sorry."

"No, no, don't worry. But I'm here to repay someone's kindness."

"Kindness?"

"Hans and Jin. 5 months ago I was off duty, on holiday as usual before leaving again, some cars hit me and threw me almost 5 meters away, my legs broke, and my arms too. They said I can keep my leg and arm, it will heal, but I can't continue my service."

"So you take it?"

"It's not just simple like that, they aren't army doctors, so I said I want to look at my chart, they ask how can I read them. And I said I was a pre-med school and a medical doctor on the field."

"You were a medical doctor on the field?"

"Yes, I am. After I read all my charts, I gave up. I resigned from the military and did nothing."

"What do you mean? But you can still serve the country even on the desk."

"Joe, I'm in the army. How can I sit at the desk for like 8 to 10 hours every day?"

"You can be an FBI Agent."

"Yeah, or even the CIA but I gave up. I was a great army and a great sniper. And for a split second, I was nothing. And then a month later, I heard about the sniping accident in the DFK building, cause I don't have anything to do I looked at the crime scene."

"Are you serious?"

"Ya, I was caught by the CIA, Walter found me but, at that time, I'm not 100% healing. So.."

"So they took Zax to the hospital and Hans had to treat him again, Sunny heard about that, and suddenly Sunny picked him up to be his private bodyguard. After 2 weeks he finally recovered and started his new job."

The voice came from behind them. A tall woman with blonde hair with a small face, Karin. "She asked wine?" Danny asked.

"Hmm. It seems like the conversation between the two of them didn't go smoothly."

"Karin, please only 1 glass. Oke?"

"That's why I'm pouring in here, not there."

"Why? Sunny, she's not that bad."

"He doesn't know?" asked Karin.

"What I don't know?"

"Somethin', Karin, she's waiting."

"You explain to him," said Karin and then left there.

"You want to explain something?" asked Sok-ji.

"Before that, I had two duties in this house. One, as her private bodyguard, and two, as her doctor while Jin and Hans are out of this country."

"Hans, isn't here anymore?"

"No. Hans is out for the UN job and Jin is back in Korea."

"I know about Jin. Before I came here, I met Jin first. So you basically replace Jin and Hans?"

"Hmm. more or less. The PTSD incident happened after they both left. I talked to Hans, he told me to give him the medicine first before he came back and checked on Sunny."

"Zax!" someone shouted from outside the kitchen.

Danny turned his head while swallowing the ramyeon in his mouth. "What?"

"Sunny, she's collapsing again."

"Collapse? Dan, what's going on?"

The chopsticks Danny was holding fell to the floor and he immediately stood up and ran, but he came back again and looked at Sok-ji.

"Joe, you go to Sunny's room now, I'll catch up later."

They both ran in opposite directions, Sok-ji accompanied by other guards into Sunny's room.

Sunny is lying there, Karin tries to wake her but she still doesn't wake up. The other guards communicated with each other with their radios.

Sok-ji froze for a moment but he finally managed to face himself again. "Soo-hee," Sok-ji called as he shook his body.

"Ya Kang Soo-hee!" he shouted again.

But it was useless, the woman didn't answer, Sok-ji tried to hear her breathing, he didn't understand but the sound of her breathing seemed quite calm. Like someone sleeping.

Sok-ji lifted Sunny's body and laid her on the bed. "Get out, everyone in this room get out!" shouted Sok-ji.

"Who is responsible for the medicine today, why is she like this!?" shouted Danny from outside.

"I'm sorry Zax, It's me. She takes that with the wine."

"Give me the medicine, it has to be me, not anyone else," said Sok-ji.

"Go, get out!" teriak Zax.

Everyone immediately left Sunny's room. Danny started to examine her, he frowned for a moment but he couldn't do anything other than wait for Sunny to wake up.

"What happened?"

"She never listens. I told her, if she doesn't get enough sleep and stress, don't ever think of touching the alcohol."

"But antidepressants have no use for alcohol. Besides Dan, she drinks, someone as violent as her has PTSD I don't know if that's true or not."

"You mean, Hans and Jin's diagnosis was wrong?"

"That's not what I meant, but... Never mind, I'm not a doctor. I don't know whether this is true or not."

"You mean?"

"Look at her, she is sleeping."

"I'll ask the chef to bring her food, make sure she eats and takes her medicine."

"You want to go?"

"I'll ask Karin what she was drinking earlier."

Danny comes out of the bedroom and heads towards the kitchen where all the staff usually gather.

Danny saw Karin who was wiping the cutlery and glasses that Sunny usually uses. Danny immediately pulled the woman away from there.

"Hey! Use words, it's hurt!"

"What did you give to Sunny?"

"What do you mean?"

"What wine did you give her?"

"Ordinary wine. Burgundy, 1988."

"Are you sure the seal is still good?"

"You ask Chef Lenz he opened it for me."

"Chef, you opened the wine for Sunny?" Danny asked.

"Yes, Karin hurt her hand from falling so I helped her open it. Why?"

"Is the seal still good?"

"Still. Quite in tact in fact. The wine also doesn't clot. What is it? There is something?"

"No," Danny looked back at Karin. "You fell? Since when?"

"You don't believe me or what?"

"The only person I can't trust in this house is you."

"Wow, that's offensive you know."
