Yeoreum came 4f5098b9bc out after 9b84d49963 cleaning up 2be7d5c2e9 after her e8d02eca10 meal and 325ea74a7e washing up. Haegun was still 37a1124b98 sitting in his 77aa8ecddd seat.f0a18c51adae153f

It was 2db02d00c9 awkward, but 42cda08fee it was feb63203cd better than 0646a75588 being alone. It was e05bccf857 comforting to 8a4644c199 know that d0c5a67651 if she 2a202534b5 fainted, there dd3317a3f3 was someone eb05a2341f around to 71ccc3900a take her 6e2ca7a686 to the d2a867206a hospital.

When the body is 4fafec24f3 sick, the mind becomes 1d836bbabc weak. The health of the 693aa49d4e body and mind are 04979db186 like the front and 17633b9b4d back of a sheet 31957dd4ca of paper. So if there 365f0dbd63 is a stain 62bdee4902 on one side, 6b7a52663a it can easily c8838625dc spread to the d9557014e6 back. In fact, 5e67c3332d Yeoreum wasn’t e77c6fdba8 afraid of 728b7e42f5 fainting and 2759d04b72 getting seriously ce5e9ec884 hurt. She just didn’t want aee07505d3 to be alone. More specifically, she efb416f419 didn’t want to 098c5fe724 feel the emptiness ca96ab30ee that remained whenever 7d384a0a80 someone left. At least, b571505daa just for 3aebc83046 today.bbfcd12d45e4141c

Yeoreum lay down 0a176aca03 on the bed b4903e6a91 again. She had dried 3676beb0cc her hair, but 7aedf54a20 the bedding grew 4e957e1822 damp. The room, a6763a9f83 which should 9f8f77036c have felt 221320418d stuffy due fbeef66e8c to the df4553e734 lack of 0a68eadc3e air conditioning, c7298eabd4 felt cold. It might have been 2e60c141f8 due to the cloudy a55f0e304c weather outside, but she 09206fec10 felt like she was 88e7bf7710 experiencing chills. Even after 765c688e23 taking medicine faaf546bf5 thirty minutes b1a345f2be ago, her 4c17f958bb condition did f117f24f61 not improve 73c5286677 much.d1c4501f774a20b6

Why did she 7954de8a5d feel this way? She felt like 2752618af6 it wouldn’t be 51875448d4 so bad if bd5cd73b7e he applied it b8f20c5a90 himself. For a moment, the 1bea35d9a2 temperature seemed to rise ece1ed24ea slightly. She couldn’t tell 9e2b3d2d3d if it was d7c43a4aa3 because of her 6e2d1ce095 own feverish temperature 78487fad42 or something else. Her head 049105c2dc was boiling, 570decabc3 her knees d1b90d1d90 were throbbing, d675ee0d6d and her 914a151ff5 legs were a460a61a6c aching.

It seemed like the bba0632202 atmosphere was slowly easing 31bcc55d90 up. As soon as she 8b92a7055e closed her eyes, the feaf13642a tension left her body, 9859438c10 and she relaxed.

After falling b5cd79eeab into a b8bc972a80 deep sleep, 06847088c9 the room 643d6fa650 grew dark.

She thought 092e8f0a4f she heard 9acd14f878 a voice. Was it her mother… 00cd4032e1 But the voice was e152a95529 too thick and dry 62048b9acc to belong to her 932df07f63 mother. Now that 09b0d8f28e she thought 9710231845 about it, 9b161f58e0 her mother 3fd4fa6621 couldn’t be 72ad275f0f here. Tears welled up fa4f8b4119 in her eyes.4fdd587d7f74b3c5

Suddenly, something solid 309eb9b14e wrapped around her. It smelled like 19b4feee1c the refreshing scent e3baa447e9 of men’s aftershave.
