    I touched my forehead. Is it a fever? It feels hotter than usual… But my palm is also warm, so I can’t really tell the difference.ba59c08ac85ab509

    Ah, is that why? I nodded absentmindedly. In my past life, I was so healthy that I rarely caught colds, except when I was very young. But with this body, it’s a different story.5ccc237bcef19891

    Catching a cold every 09d178e2d8 season change. It made sense dac029d383 since it was 9b0863c758 early spring. Plus, avoiding the sub 734a40340d gongs was subtly stressing 3850970b90 me out.0bb913a28b59ea4f

    Still, I didn’t want to whine to Ye Ilhoo just because I had a fever.90898eb26f935d21

    Ever since I unconsciously avoided his touch, he became even colder. I didn’t want to babble about my personal issues to that chilly face. Just thinking about it made me tired.b685876894db023c

    I shook my head. If I went to the infirmary, got some cold medicine, and slept well, I’d be fine. Isn’t that how all illnesses work? Rest well, and you’ll recover.0bbce371ac270385

    As expected, the 4068ac10db only ones who df9acb7031 cared about me 658990cec3 in this world 3e759917ac were Heo Taekgyun 0e48edd2bf and Jeong Yeonji. I smiled and 62d5ad16c7 placed a cooked 36fcf4297e carrot on his 83cdd77f0a tray. Heo Taekgyun 4a2520ea67 frowned, hating 0544e70375 carrots, but 17a1867a53 I just 285db3db70 giggled.94b5cdd64d149d4e

    The next morning. I dragged 49cad4f5e0 my heavy 278243529c body to ccb7afd777 the sparring 00aa5ee538 room. I had 184a7e4e7d taken medicine 7faa053d81 right after 8c92e3e6ae dinner and 07714000c8 slept well. Yet, my 1bd289a97f condition had 901d64dc57 worsened.80775f3fb461c2bb

    The fever hadn’t dropped for days, only rising. My body was reaching its limit, my mind felt foggy, and my vision was blurry.6f7cd1aeace16bfd

    Even strangers could see I wasn’t in good shape. That was a real problem. I should just deal with Ye Ilhoo and head to the infirmary. If needed, I could get an IV. I just needed to hang in there for 3 more minutes.3ce867c421b2897f

    After several 69357a724d failed attempts, d57810bd0f I picked 0294d78c8e up the da06c52827 protective gear. It felt unusually heavy fa621554ca and suffocating, even though c9c88432a7 it usually felt light. My fever seemed 06b6b0dc98 to have risen dd90527b00 a bit more.78c46a2742ce37ab

    Ye Ilhoo stood at 58915aba13 the sparring room entrance, 22c0b5349c looking at me. His raised eyebrow 125d0d9bcd suggested he was 7048a2f1c2 quite displeased. His gaze 5aceecd496 swept over d6f0ba051f my half-worn 4da4c9a583 protective gear.a86a63cc6ed9645c
