Yeoreum came out 04c80b42c6 after cleaning up 1cef7fe69a after her meal da6382ed54 and washing up. Haegun was 3beb0c21ce still sitting 2319a9c349 in his 059af3f93d seat.f412b5c93b3e585c

It was 29cb92f576 awkward, but 6d3032df62 it was 322bd2c88d better than c22490affe being alone. It was c587c88c58 comforting to 73af364555 know that 5086e1e9be if she eb31bd6ef6 fainted, there 29eef01883 was someone 24f501f845 around to 3bea2cdb93 take her d2b672584c to the c0bbb45bef hospital.

When the b0a6043c89 body is 55bcac0109 sick, the 9bda02890e mind becomes bc27d3f2e4 weak. The health 17fc22116a of the ffff5fad58 body and 9cd1ff776e mind are eb990f194c like the c6ca5453d2 front and 3f02838521 back of d6ca864b96 a sheet 42f9205ec7 of paper. So if f8c704e55a there is c9ea951ae5 a stain f8627d014a on one af75556177 side, it 0c8df870bf can easily 84668a9f25 spread to c13c8e233c the back. In fact, 5abec96f83 Yeoreum wasn’t 01f241b720 afraid of b8ce8eb65f fainting and cb67416d0b getting seriously e6dd782202 hurt. She just didn’t want 3ec8692f35 to be alone. More specifically, she fe9a6b1ee7 didn’t want to 984ac6b5a4 feel the emptiness 8e0b4f4001 that remained whenever 725d0f42c1 someone left. At least, e63c09494a just for 2012a5f488 today.c86e4650f182fb96

Yeoreum lay 03fd20d7d4 down on c9e9867d76 the bed ab84730495 again. She had dried her 9ebebc6748 hair, but the bedding 5cfe8a6de0 grew damp. The room, which should 8f504c2f82 have felt stuffy due e247214b31 to the lack of d679a62c25 air conditioning, felt cold. It might 2a004065c8 have been 13c6ebb2bd due to 1fe001f6ff the cloudy 5a52bdb51b weather outside, cb496e4a20 but she 952126d6ad felt like 76978f2e8b she was 8bcbc9207e experiencing chills. Even after taking aa9ccec304 medicine thirty minutes f39caf2a4f ago, her condition e6cc215274 did not improve ab4c697f78 much.b1a6ba1990d2a88f

Haegun’s gaze was 2c336e0d88 fixed on her 467ead0157 legs underneath the 8c4de4e403 blanket. When she had 71ecd6c76b come out of 46e07b8ae6 the shower, she 9974607f8c had changed into 5134a397e0 a pair of 137eeedd06 shorts.

Not even thirty a749e7f308 minutes later, they 3004966ab6 could hear someone 6a659054e8 hurriedly climbing up 36e8356327 the stairs outside d980b63c63 followed by a 144a6d0dba knock on the d55995031e door.

Yeoreum knew the soundproofing 5397277811 wasn’t good, but this eb2d5563f5 was quite bad. She pretended 76aee676a3 to be 8a30e32ee9 asleep and 2bfae8e195 stared at 546710622c the wall d2d5a1d541 without moving. She felt pathetic like cd082602a0 this pathetic apartment. Haegun went to 2e44ceccf5 the front door 6b77ca092d as if this afa0f1e564 was his own 5fb066d0c0 place and opened bd9021d103 the door to 3684ea212c receive the plastic 0174bb2618 bag from Taehyuk.184dcc8a2d37d9e9

She flinched at 308a8aba38 the mention of 196b928a35 an IV, but 7ed0037203 Yeoreum continued to 2c7e65a772 pretend to be 25fad2e1f0 asleep with all d16a2009e8 her might.

Yeoreum pushed out her 6c1096b371 sore legs. A fairly large 22a88958e6 portion of her 1ad37f29c4 knees and calves d55d62fb0d were scraped up.

Why did she 66c16619b1 feel this way? She felt like it 8ca3855417 wouldn’t be so bad 8a1bd5a73d if he applied it 79f2bcb392 himself. For a moment, ce9a14883a the temperature seemed 579f7c81f5 to rise slightly.

After falling into a 2c615af051 deep sleep, the room e4abe3ca24 grew dark.

Suddenly, something d89cd52290 solid wrapped bc4956d874 around her. It smelled like ed26870dc1 the refreshing scent 1ab00bf336 of men’s aftershave. The thing that 05a9b50d44 had wrapped around f7c2587fcc her body was f4e6e1f716 firm and warm. The tears quickly 7e722e151b stopped.

The owner of the f557001b63 sound was a stray 7a910cf558 cat passing through the 5960404033 rooftop. The cat 30b274eb6e was startled 5cd56ff64b and quickly 47a3c31f3a ran to 99771002ef the opposite b69b263972 building.
