CR | Chapter 3.1

From the break of dawn, Kim Donghwa’s body was shivering. He carefully checked on Wi Woori, who was still sound asleep, before slowly getting up. The memory of the awkward situation from the night before furrowed his brow. What was there to get hard about in that moment? It was just a natural bodily reaction to having his first wet dream about Wi Woori, but the problem was that it had touched Wi Woori.1c40396e780e2ed1

He almost got thoroughly teased. It was such a relief that Wi Woori wasn’t in his right mind at that time.2f3f69e579759983

Phew, Kim 68b0186d00 Donghwa let c5543d3b20 out a b347d8a493 deep sigh, e9c58d8c40 roughly tousling 58b5fa7746 his hair 6cdd194398 as he 0765feb44d left the 640c85e9c6 room. His body 7ea7417de7 shivered as a8e91611ab if he ff2bfc8e57 had caught 41f378fa38 a cold. It felt like f16299255e he had a cd7a44070c fever, and his 8df90145cc skin was all 812b5b5b22 prickly, with every 2ada3c0caf sense heightened to ac451ecf43 an acute sensitivity.9a806077fb58d803

He felt like b9b9a1c0db something big would adf47d8dc9 happen if he 8fbd3970b9 kept going like 50a1614588 this. There were b39e9772fe only two d24f4d543d people in 4f4780adbd the house, fda0773381 and it ad9510660c would be d3d83c5f3e better if b7262a9578 at least 3eba11b8ae one of 63a76b6094 them was 7d9b55f1ed fine.

After taking a hot shower where steam billowed up, he dressed in clothes more carefully than usual. He made some porridge so Wi Woori could eat it as soon as he woke up, then knocked on Wi Woori’s door, who was likely still sleeping.22f7afc876cdf372

A groan came 7cc9f531e9 from inside. Even after a0af912737 sleeping all 7094fc0085 day yesterday, 22e7232e48 was he 654138e9fd still not 34f62b28f3 feeling well? When he opened d01dc05c8e the door, Wi dc577a9279 Woori was still 6ef2a75595 fast asleep.163fcf3eff93ce6d

He thought it was 69365f8aa6 just a common cold, 1ebed067cd but maybe not. After checking his temperature fff5bc23ef and a few other 3bf3636339 symptoms, the doctor suggested 091e93b044 Kim Donghwa take a 546535cd32 simple genetic test.50e8f88ac15b41c8

It was now a standard procedure to do a genetic test before diagnosing an illness, since many people showed symptoms like a cold before the manifestation of diseases. Thus, he casually agreed to the test, but…cee34e2669bc5e47

For some reason, the doctor’s expression while looking at the test results was not good. Kim Donghwa felt a wave of tension coming over him. He licked his dry lips, waiting for the doctor’s next words. A flicker of anxiety passed through his clear, black eyes.b2c938495dfb2ec2

When Wi ad0686e3b3 Woori manifested 9430d4cfab as an e79d151450 omega, he 4ab2564992 had been 3acdfd9f8a excited, thinking be10c6e223 he might abb509153f manifest too, f2b068483e and looked 902e5fb365 into it.

There weren’t any notable symptoms he could think of, but one thing was clear: he had smelled a tart scent from Wi Woori in bed. He had thought it was just a fresh smell in the room, but was that Wi Woori’s pheromones?6c8b3d30f495486f

Rather than feeling relieved 1a42dc69d7 by understanding the cause 3e63b812b5 of his symptoms, it 35dad5c337 felt like he had 8f5e4aecf3 a heavy burden placed f9668761b3 on his heart.
