Too Broken to Forget

Episode : 14“One Call That Changed Everything”

Of course — here’s your scene rewritten in a natural, emotional, and fluent way, while keeping the original meaning and intensifying the drama.

The moment Gi-woo received her mother’s call,

Her heart began pounding uncontrollably.

She ran—

Barely able to breathe—

Straight to the hospital.

By the time she arrived, her chest felt tight,

As if it might collapse at any second.

“Mom… Is Dad okay? How is he? Has he woken up?!”

The questions spilled out one after another—

Her voice trembling, her breath uneven.

Her hands shook.

“My daughter… your father is much better now. The doctors are monitoring him,” her mother said gently.

But even then, she couldn’t fully hide the fear in her eyes.

“Can I see him…?”

“…Not yet.”

Sunao and Yumi stood beside her.

“Auntie… is Uncle really okay?” they asked in unison.

“Yes… it’s all behind us now,” Mrs. Sun replied.

But the worry in her voice betrayed her.

She was holding herself together—

Just so her daughter wouldn’t fall apart.

Then finally—

The doctor appeared.

Everyone stood up at once.

“Doctor—how is he?”

“He’s stable now. It seems his heart was under severe stress. You brought him in just in time—the danger has passed. But from now on, he must take better care of himself.”

Those words—

Felt like air returning to Gi-woo’s lungs.

“Thank you… we’ll take good care of him…”

When her father finally regained consciousness—

“Gi-woo…” he called weakly.

He looked pale. Fragile.

Yet he still tried to smile.

“I’m okay, my daughter… I’m sorry I worried you…”

Gi-woo couldn’t hold back her tears anymore.

She held his hand tightly.

“Don’t say that, Dad… we should be the ones apologizing… we didn’t take good enough care of you…”

He let out a soft chuckle.

“My daughter… don’t you know how strong I am?”

That moment—

felt fragile. Precious.

“You should go home and rest now,” he said softly.

“You have work tomorrow.”

“O-okay…” she whispered.

“Your mother will take care of me. Don’t worry.”

Sunao walked her home.

He looked at her quietly—

At her tired, sorrowful face.

“Don’t worry… my uncle will recover. Just go inside and rest. You have work tomorrow.”

Gi-woo gave a faint smile.

“Thank you, Sunao… having a friend like you… I’m really lucky.”

They said goodbye.

Meanwhile—

Daniel sat alone.

Silent. Still.

There was something heavy in his gaze.

He stood up—grabbed a bottle of ice-cold water—

And drank it slowly…

As if trying to drown something inside him.

The door opened.

“Hmm… are you home?”
