Chapter 86

After a series of examinations, it was determined that Park Kwi-ri's stomachache was due to long-term overwork and malnutrition, compounded by a slight cold, which all erupted together, leading to her severe condition. After Park Kwi-ri was given an IV drip, she was fine.

Upon hearing the doctor's words, So Yuhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he had been frightened by Park Kwi-ri's pale face at the time. Now that the situation was confirmed, he first sent a text message to Han Seung-yeon to inform her of Park Kwi-ri's safety. Then, he turned to the service desk, got the phone number of a nearby fast-food restaurant, and prepared to order some liquid food for Park Kwi-ri to consume after her treatment.

Park Kwi-ri lay on the hospital bed, her stomachache relieved, which made her sigh with relief. She opened her eyes and looked around, only to realize that she was not in her familiar bedroom but in a completely unfamiliar environment. The constant smell of disinfectant entering her nose made her realize where she was. As she relaxed, she also recalled what had happened not long ago.

Alone at home, with no one to rely on, her sisters were all busy working for the future of the group, and as the leader, Park Kwi-ri had no solution. Just when there were no sisters around, the familiar abdominal pain she knew so well reappeared, causing her unbearable pain. However, she could not find a friend to rely on and had to endure the pain alone.

In her daze, the doorbell rang, and her already sensitive nerves became even more alert. She began to speculate about the identity of the visitor. It couldn't be her sisters, as they all had keys to the dormitory. Understanding this, Park Kwi-ri began to imagine all sorts of scenarios but had no intention of going to the door. However, the persistent doorbell forced her to drag her aching body to the door and peek through the peephole, only to find So Yuhao, whom she had met before.

Knowing the identity of the visitor and recognizing a familiar face, she was initially very happy. With someone she knew coming, she could get help. So, she prepared to open the door. However, her somewhat suspicious nature made her hesitate again. She suddenly wondered how So Yuhao knew where she lived, which made her hesitate once more.

Thus, Park Kwi-ri struggled back and forth. Finally, when she saw So Yuhao about to leave, she made up her mind to open the door, as she desperately needed someone to take care of her at that moment.

When So Yuhao supported her, his words of concern continuously flowed, which deeply moved Park Kwi-ri. However, she still wanted to understand So Yuhao's purpose for coming. Only after learning the truth did she feel relieved.

However, when So Yuhao said he would take her to the hospital, Park Kwi-ri instinctively resisted, not because of anything else, but because she did not want to trouble So Yuhao and did not want him to know the current state of KARA.

Speaking of KARA's situation, Park Kwi-ri could not help but feel a deep sense of sorrow. After KARA's debut, their lives were worse than those of trainees. Everyone was very tired, so tired that even though they had their own dormitory, they had never had a good night's sleep there. Everyone was very hard up, so hard up that they had never had a rich meal, and instant noodles were their eternal topic because they had not received their salaries from the company for months. Everyone was very busy, working hard to gain more recognition for KARA. This was the current state of KARA, and Park Kwi-ri did not want to expose the true situation of KARA to outsiders. She always believed that the company's attitude towards her group was due to the group itself, and she always regarded the company as her benefactor, as without the company, she would not have been able to debut or become a member of KARA.

Therefore, she did not want to trouble So Yuhao. However, she did not expect that such a gentle man could also be so domineering. Without giving her a chance to explain, he picked her up, and no matter how she struggled, pleaded, or cried, he did not listen, until he brought her to the hospital.

After understanding the reasons for her being here, Park Kwi-ri's initial annoyance turned into relief. After all, So Yuhao had good intentions. Thinking back to the moment in the dormitory, Park Kwi-ri felt a sense of happiness. She closed her eyes and smiled, thinking, "This is what it feels like to have someone care for you!"

Although she had been taken care of by her sisters when she was sick before, she had never felt this way. Thinking about So Yuhao's behavior in the dormitory, Park Kwi-ri blushed, and her heart raced, making her feel short of breath.

"Awake?" A familiar voice sounded in her ear, making Park Kwi-ri open her eyes.

Seeing the awakened Park Kwi-ri, So Yuhao smiled and asked, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"

"Yes, much better. Thank you, Yuhao oppa!" Park Kwi-ri said gratefully.

So Yuhao smiled slightly, adjusted the blanket for Park Kwi-ri, and said, "Are you hungry? But even if you are, you can't eat anything now, so you'll have to bear with it. After you finish the IV drip, you can eat. I've prepared some white rice porridge. Since your stomach isn't good, it's better to eat this. When you get better, I'll take you out for a good meal!"

"Okay, thank you, Yuhao oppa. And I'm sorry for what happened in the dormitory..." Park Kwi-ri said, moved.

"Alright, that's not like the Park Kwi-ri I know! Don't worry about it. Rest for a bit. The IV drip will take some time. Why don't you sleep for a while? Your face shows that you haven't been resting well recently. Take this opportunity to recover. I'll be back in a bit." So Yuhao looked at the IV drip and said.

"Okay, I understand." Park Kwi-ri smiled sweetly and obediently closed her eyes.

So Yuhao looked at Park Kwi-ri's pale but charming face and thought to himself, "Indeed, the appearance of these Korean debut stars is outstanding! I wonder who is naturally beautiful. Fortunately, my wife can put my mind at ease, so I don't have to worry about this aspect. It's a fortunate thing!" Thinking about this, So Yuhao found himself laughing at his own worries. He shook his head and left the ward.

Park Kwi-ri gazed at So Yuhao as he walked away, and after a long while, she smiled and closed her eyes, falling into a deep sleep.

So Yuhao came out of the ward and revealed a somewhat tired expression. After all, he had been working hard all day, and it was not easy. He found an empty bench and slumped down, not wanting to move. He stared at the ceiling for a while before taking out his phone to start his work.

"Huh? What's this?" So Yuhao looked at the message on his phone and muttered to himself in surprise.

"Congratulations, player So Yuhao has completed the task: Park Kwi-ri's suspicion."

"Congratulations, player So Yuhao has completed the task: Park Kwi-ri's recognition."

So Yuhao looked at the sudden system notification, feeling both surprised and puzzled. He was surprised that he had finally completed another task, which meant the task system was still working. However, he was puzzled because he had not received any tasks, so why was he being notified that he had completed them? How did the upgraded task system work? It was something worth investigating!
