By the afternoon, the sun was scalding hot.
She touched his forehead and realized that he was still burning up.
Damn it! His fever had yet to break.
At this moment, the ocean was very calm.
Jungkook had only eaten a few slices of shark meat last night. He needed to eat something before taking the fever-reducing medicine again.
Lisa sliced a few thin slices of the half-dried shark meat and fed it to him. However, he could not swallow in his unconscious state.
She was helpless and could only tug the pieces of meat out from his mouth. She then chewed it up and fed it to him with a kiss.
She wasn't being stingy. They only had around two and a half kilograms of fish meat. Since yesterday, they had both eaten some of it.
She had also dried up a portion of it.
Now, they only had around one and a half kilograms of fish meat left.
If they failed to find land in time, this would be their only source of food. She needed to ration it as well as she could.
She chewed on more pieces of fish meat and fed it to him. When he failed to swallow, she brought out the small bottle of water she had collected and fed some to him.
She then made him take another dose of fever reducing medicine.
With her repeated actions, the bottle of water was quickly emptied. But thankfully, he had unconsciously eaten a quarter of a kilogram of fish meat.
She ate a little of the food herself.
She checked the remaining meat and saw that they had around a kilogram left.
She kept the remaining food into the first aid kit and began to think about the shark's corpse from earlier.
It had been especially large.
It would have been sufficient to keep them alive for days.
It was a pity that given the circumstances, she could only retrieve a small portion of its meat.
The afternoon sun was scalding and Lisa's skin felt as if it was being burnt.
Her fair skin had turned red due to the burn.
At this rate, they would both become especially tanned.
However, she realized their survival wasn't even confirmed. Whether they ended up tanned or not was secondary.
"Lisa..." Jungkook murmured to himself in his unconscious state.
His weak voice could barely be heard. Still, it left her deeply moved.
Even in his current state, he was thinking of her. It was clear that this man loved her dearly.
She was really, really, really thirsty!
She really wished she had water to drink. Her throat was painfully dry again.
She saw that Jungkook's lips had also cracked.
However, she did not have any more methods to resort to. They were floating amidst the ocean and she could not obtain pure water.
She was looking forward to the evening. It would be best if she could collect more water then.
It was a pity that the more she looked forward to something, the slower time seemed to pass. The seconds seemed to be moving at a tenth of its speed.
In order to reduce the likelihood of a heatstroke, at times, she would pour some sea water over both their heads.
"Jungkook, you have to hold on!" She murmured. Her throat was so dry that she could barely speak.
She finally endured past another sunset and another evening...
Finally, it was early morning.
She repeated the same method from last night, licking the water droplets from the surface of the watch and drinking half the bottle of water she collected.
She saved the remaining water for Jungkook.
At around 8:00 in the morning, she touched his forehead...
His fever had subsided.
Thank god.
She could barely keep herself awake. Her eyes were sliding shut every so often.
She really wanted to sleep! If she held on any longer, she felt she would die of exhaustion!
She was relying on an immense willpower to keep awake.
Thankfully, at this moment, Jungkook's lids fluttered and he woke up.
Almost immediately, he gasped out. "Lisa!"
