"IS THAT child a patient here?"
Oh.
Koo Mujin just confirmed that he was still in the dream world because his mother didn't recognize Koo Hajin.
There's no way my mother won't recognize her first grandson.
He forced himself to stay calm and lie to his mother.
"This child suddenly came in, saying that he was sleepy," Koo Mujin said, and then he lifted his head. "This child complained about being hungry earlier, Eomma. Can you get him some food? I'll wait for his guardian to pick him up."
"I'm on my way to pack you a lunch anyway," his mother said. "I'll be gone for a moment. Will you be fine on your own?"
"Yes, Eomma— I'm not a child anymore."
"You are, but alright, I'll trust you to stay put while I'm gone," his mother said, looking at the sleeping Koo Hajin. "And make sure to call the child's guardian."
"I will, Eomma."
Only then did his mother left.
Now that his mother was gone, Koo Mujin had the chance to panic.
