Odeng

from Jaws Ddeokbokki
in IZ’s hospital room
(Soonchunhyang University Hospital)
-Hannam, Yongsan, Seoul, Republic of Korea-
with IZ
IZ was admitted to the hospital today. His mother had taken him to the emergency room to obtain a prescription for a phlegmy cough, as well as a pimply rash on his face and extremities, that’s been plaguing him for the past couple days. Physical signs and x-rays indicated pneumonia, blood work confirmed viral. He’ll be in for 2 to 4 days.

By the time of admission, the hospital dinner service had already ended, so I was instructed to get takeout. Odeng is one of IZ’s favorites, and takeout orders come in a nifty sealed box.
