As soon as she arrived in Daegu, Seulgi picked up the phone and called Irene. Very soon someone caught the phone, Seulgi asked the hospital address with the same number of rooms, then told her not to worry, she was coming, everything would be fine and hung up.
Irene received the phone call and looked a bit dazed at the screen. She didn't think Seulgi could have come to her here. Didn't she have been too much yesterday? Why still stubbornly do many things for her like that? It was, Irene could not hide her heartwarming feelings but was looking forward to meeting Seulgi. From yesterday until now she cried so many times, fear and anxiety did take her any moment. Irene only dared to go to the bathroom crying because she was too scared, but she dared to cry in front of her mother. Her parents, too old, needed her to take care of them and support them. Sitting in the emergency room, yesterday, while she was the most desperate, Irene thought, if Wendy is here, how good it is. In the end, the person who appeared again was Seulgi, always Seulgi.
A complicated surgery that lasted for twelve hours made everyone tired and worried. Irene heard her mother say yesterday her father was all day normally, and in the evening after taking a bath, suddenly heart failure had to be rushed to the hospital for surgery. Because the cost of conducting emergency surgery was very high, she had to call her in such a hurry. Irene from yesterday until now did not sleep. When she received her mother's phone, she quickly left everything in Seoul to get the latest flight ticket to Daegu. When she arrived at the hospital, she saw her mother and sister waiting outside the emergency room, the surgery was started.
Sister of Irene this year just went to college, fortunately it was Saturday night so she didn't have to go to school in the morning. She had repeatedly tried to tell her mother that she should go home to rest, let her and Jookyun stay behind her father but her mother refused. It was not until the surgery was announced that it was about to be completed, that she had to take a break.
Joy’s car quickly stopped in the parking lot of the hospital, Seulgi saw that the car stopped and hurriedly went down to bend and vomited to remove everything in her stomach. Joy felt so panicked and ran to pat her on the back, even more surprised to see what Seulgi vomited were water. Show that she hasn't eaten anything since morning. Joy asked worriedly. "Hey, are you alright?" Seulgi didn't answer her, but she wiped her mouth with her hand, then put her hands on her shoulders. "Joy, I'm fine here. You come back. Today, I really owe you," she said, then tried to straighten herself.
Joy could not believe watching Seulgi's back leave without believing the person who was still half-dead with someone who was standing there froze. Seulgi told it, it was really too buffalo. Reminding her of the day before Yerim had an accident had surgery. She also did not care about her health but on her side. Alright, Seulgi, she think she accept her as a worthy opponent. She watched her walk into the elevator, saw Seulgi try to wave at her, only frowning, then stepped into the car, went to Seoul.
Seulgi stood in the elevator but could not stand. Her head was spinning like a pinch, hurting like a hammer. Seulgi sensed that her body with asthma just wanted to collapse. She clenched her fist, then called Irene.
The door of the elevator opened, Seulgi took all her strength to go straight out. Falling to the left, she immediately saw Bae's familiar small back shadow. Irene was standing outside a sick room and hung up.
Irene was tired, when Seulgi hung up the phone, she was dumbfounded for a while. Then she felt that the other person behind her came up and immediately turned around. Seulgi's tall figure immediately popped up from the bottom of her eyes making Irene suddenly feel reassured. She was relieved of the burden in her heart for the person she could rely on finally here. Irene doesn't manage everything around her but Seulgi's direction goes straight. Seulgi, after seeing Irene’s beautiful face, showed two dark circles, it was extremely heartbreaking, she walked like she ran to her.
Both of them did not hesitate or take another second to hug each other. Seulgi sighed, all tiredness and pain in her body as if she was comforted by the girl. Although she just didn't see each other from last night, Seulgi felt like she had to go through a lot to hug Irene in her hands. An unwelcome fear came across Seulgi forcefully. She just thought through it, now she depend on Irene so much. Then if both of them leave, Seulgi knows what to do?
She only knew that this girl now needed her to rely on. Seulgi, can't fall now.
Irene hugged Seulgi tightly. She was in a tight state like a string from yesterday night until now until she saw her. She hadn't noticed Seulgi's influence until her face made her suddenly feel secure. However, after that Irene noticed an unusual point. The body that she was hugging was giving off a very hot temperature, like penetrating her skin. Irene gently separated herself from Seulgi's hug. Then she naturally took her hand and stroked her cheek. Irene saw Seulgi's mouth having a small wound, but the temperature on her body was the one that worried her the most. Very quickly, both of them looked into each other's eyes, urgently opening their mouths at the same time.
"Why are you so hot?"
"Hyun, I'm sorry"
Homosexual voices like soothing both of their hearts. Irene looked painfully at Seulgi's pale face. Only after a night of not seeing, why could she be so devastated? Her body was hot making her hold her hand that could not be ignored. Seulgi said nothing, still trying to look at Irene. She stroked her hair, then once again embraced her.
"You must be tired, how's your father m?" Irene in Seulgi's heart completely forgot about the two people in crowded places. She just shook her head gently.
"The surgery is done, he’s now in the recovery room. Seulgi, why are you so hot? Are you sick?" She asked anxiously. Seulgi could not tell how much of her appearance for her was a great source of motivation.
Irene didn't even remember how she was angry at her yesterday. Now in Irene’s heart, only the touching and heartbreaking heart appeared. She knew Seulgi was very tired, but she did not manage the distance but came to her. When they met each other, Seulgi was still very considerate of her, not even thinking of herself for a second, even saying sorry to her while Irene was the one who caused the trouble. Her feelings were so sincere and profound, Iren could hardly control the intense vibrations that were rising rapidly in her heart every day.
"Are you alright, have you done the procedure for your father? Do you need any help?" Seulgi asked. At this time, Irene remembered that she had not yet completed the hospital admission procedure. She forgot about it. Irene rarely goes to the hospital, has almost never been hospitalized, so she is a bit unfamiliar with the procedures here. Anyway, Seulgi did medicine, her knowledge was of course more than hers. Irene heard Seulgi ask that and bit her lip, afraid to shake her head. Seulgi saw that and just smiled, then rubbed Irene’s head. The other hand clenched, trying to parallel her.
"Let's go, you and me together" Then she quickly turned around so that she could not see the pain and suffering caused by the pain that tormented Seulgi through the expression on her face. Irene followed behind Seulgi and silently watched her back. Seulgi is not as tall as Joy, her back is not large, but now makes her feel protected and secure. This is the first time Irene has this feeling. Ever since she was a tough girl, she was strong in everything herself. Even when there is a lover, Irene has never relied on or has anyone because she takes care of her many things like Seulgi. She always said that she was fine, she could take care of it, but deep down in her heart, Irene also hoped that someone would understand her. A person can understand her arrogance and habit or lie, even though she refuses to still reach out to share and help her when she needs it most. At this moment, right now, Irene has a feeling, Seulgi is the person she has been searching for so long. The one she needed. A person she could say things that scared her the most.
Irene has a slight admiration for Seulgi's ability. She really didn't know how powerful she was, but her impact on her father's treatment made Irene think a lot. In just a few moments, Seulgi was able to register Irene’s father with the best hospital room, with the best team of doctors. She could even call directly to Seoul Heart Hospital to get the doctor down to Daegu to treat Irene’s father if a bad case happened.
After finishing, Irene and Seulgi were sitting on a chair so Seulgi could rest. Her face was so weak that Irene could not ignore it. She had just put Seulgi on the chair, and immediately wanted to get up and call the doctor. Yet, as she stood up, Seulgi grabbed her wrist and pulled her down, causing Irene to fall on her lap.
Seulgi did not say a word, but wrapped her arms tightly around Irene to show that she did not want her to leave. Her hot forehead pressed against Irene’s neck, and so weakly snuggled into her lap. Irene was initially surprised at Seulgi's actions without responding. Her arms were wrapped around her but her hands were in the air. Irene opened her eyes wide, then quickly reached for Seulgi's body. She felt that the person in her heart was extremely weak, now just wanted to be by her side, not to be heartbroken. Irene rubbed Seulgi's hair in one hand, her other hand gently patted her back. The gentle action is as gentle as it is to comfort, although Irene is very worried about Seulgi, but she thinks she really needs this hug. Irene gently rested her chin on the top of Seulgi's head, thinking about herself for a few hours before, there was a desire that someone would hug her.
Irene was sitting on the back of Seulgi rubbing her back while suddenly feeling a heavy weight on her body. Irene bit her lip, hugged Seulgi tightly to her heart, urgently reached for the doctor.
Sitting in the sick room, Irene sat quietly and watched Seulgi unconscious in the bed. Two hours ago, Seulgi didn't say a word like that and fainted in her chest.
She sighed, gently grasping her cold hand. The doctor said that Seulgi was suffering from a high fever and suffered from a long-term stomach pain that led to exhaustion. She even reminded Irene to pay attention to Seulgi's eating problem because of her stomach disease, if she did not take care of and treat it thoroughly, there will definitely be bad changes. Irene looked at Seulgi. Up to this moment, she could not deny her feelings for her anymore. Watching Seulgi weakly without a bit of vitality like this, besides being heartbroken, Irene still felt a bit disbelieving.
Usually, Seulgi is strong in front of her. No matter how bad she treated her, she always persevered. She just needed to say that she would help her, she felt relieved. But now, Seulgi is like there is no way to resist the pain and collapse. This makes Irene’s heart crack.
Her breath was steady, accompanied by her harmonious strokes that formed a rare peaceful scene in the emotions from night to hour for the two of them.
Everything is so gentle and pleasant.
And warm.
Irene stood up slightly, brushing away the strands of hair on Seulgi's face. Then lightly pressed her palm against her forehead. Seulgi's body temperature is already normal. Irene looked at her, smiling slightly, then quietly sat down, continuing to pat her hand.
Straight until Seulgi's eyelashes flicker. After that, she gradually opened her eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling. Seulgi let out a small breath, painfully turning to look at Irene. The small hand that was covering her hand appeared in her eyes as she gently poured a warm stream of water into Seulgi's heart, causing her to melt. Seulgi smiled slightly.
"Hyun" she called out.
"Yes" Irene just answered quietly.
Looking around, Seulgi also partly guessed the situation, she slowly crawled into the blanket, placing the cloth over her head. Irene saw that this childish act was not funny, just quietly pulled the blanket down, so that she could see her eyes that had regained Seulgi's spirit. She couldn't help but smile, reaching up to stroke Seulgi's head.
"What a shame." Seulgi covered most of her face in the blanket, exposing her eyes to Irene. She asked quietly.
"How long have you slept?" She heard that, and didn't want Seulgi to know that she was sitting here watching her for nearly five hours. She just lightly patted the back of Seulgi's hand, then shrugged.
"Not too long, no need to worry about it." Seulgi completely believed her words. She simply thought she must have fainted a few minutes ago. As if remembering something, Seulgi stretched her hand out of the blanket, grabbed Irene’s hand.
"Hyun, last night, I'm sorry. It's because I'm so drunk. I don't know what to do either" Seulgi didn't know what she should explain to Irene. Her lost action yesterday flashed in Seulgi's mind making her feel extremely bad. Seulgi lightly licked her lips, intending to say something when Irene spoke up to her.
"You did nothing wrong. I should be the one to say sorry" Seulgi quickly shook her head. "No, I- .."
Irene just heard Seulgi's explanation and knew that if this didn't stop, Seulgi would not give up. So she quickly cut off the words she was saying. "Alright, we both have errors. Take a break, okay?" Seulgi heard that, her eyes immediately lowered. She looked at Irene, still holding her hand, refusing to let go.
Irene saw a strange point, Seulgi was like she was thinking something, so she stared at her, making her frown. "What is it?" Seulgi did not answer her, only shifting her body slightly on the hospital bed. She turned the blanket to one side, then gently patted the empty bed next to her. "Up here" Seulgi said, making Irene stunned. "How is that?" She didn't know what to say but asked the question again. Why suddenly Seulgi ..
"Did you sleep last night or not? Since earlier on I have seen you yawning a lot" Irene stared at Seulgi, not expecting to wake up again to notice the details. Irene felt that her face was a bit hot, praying that she didn't betray her but blushed. Irene was about to refuse, but it was true that from night to this night she didn't take a nap. The sleepiness like Seulgi awakened and hit her body, making her feel hungry to lean back on the bed beside Seulgi.
Irene lightly bit her lips, went around to lock the door, then took off her shoes. She quickly crawled into the bedclothes. Seulgi was also natural and approached her. Both bodies for a moment were like two perfect pieces that were tightly entwined. Seulgi suddenly broke the silence between the two.
"Hyun" Irene immediately raised her head to look at her, eyes widening slightly. "Yes?" She exhaled and answered.
"Give me a kiss"
Irene immediately turned red. Seulgi just woke up, so she wanted to kiss her again. A bit stiff, Irene lightly held her hand in front of Seulgi's chest, murmuring in her mouth as if to let her listen.
"You..you're sick"
"Then kiss me one"
Irene didn't know how to answer, just quietly escaped her hug and turned her back towards Seulgi. She bit her lips slightly, until her arms were like that and hugged her waist from behind. Irene immediately turned her head to look. Her gaze was a bit taken aback when she met Seulgi's face that was close to her within a inch. Her chin rested on her shoulder, the dreamy look in her eyes. Irene felt her heart flutter. Everything around it suddenly slowed, time seemed to stop. Only two eyes locked together. Seulgi is sick, her mind can't think much. Only seeing the human being in front of her is too soulful to kiss her on the pink lips.
Irene closed her eyes, her eyebrows furrowed for Seulgi's sudden kiss. Her body was still in the position of turning her back to her, only her face was turning around to kiss the other. Irene was completely in a passive position, her whole body was like Seulgi hugged her.
The kiss was not deep, not intense, but it was too sweet to give Irene a troubled heart.
It was only when she was separated that she was like a dream from reality. Seulgi's eyes were like a sad, beautiful lake, making the sleeping sound of her awakened.
However, Seulgi is different. Like a picture with bright colors but brings a very sad feeling, very desperate. Like a cheerful piece of music but lyrics are miserable. She knows, this happiness to Irene is because she stole it, then tomorrow will come to the day of repayment.
The grumbling heart appeared because of intense sentiment. In this quiet moment, she temporarily lost her ability to confess her feelings. Like the hand of a person who is falling freely into the abyss, chaos because there is no way to hold on to nothing to save her but chaos.
Seulgi sighed softly, stroking Irene’s hair. "Sleep for a bit" Irene naturally didn't notice the change in Seulgi's eyes. She just felt a sense of warmth that made her sleepiness rise. Before closing her eyes, she did not forgot to ask.
"What did you do last night to keep the fever so high?" Seulgi lowered her head to look at her, then did not say no, put her hand on her pants pocket, took out the sunflower-shaped necklace yesterday that she had thrown herself. "Yesterday, I looking for this for a bit, I got caught in the rain." Seulgi said very small, very embarrassed, like fear of being scolded by Irene . Irene turned around, glaring at her, two lips softly squeezed. She was ready to blame her for a while, but when looking at the bowing expression like a puppy that had just made a mistake, Irene was softened.
She reached out and snatched the necklace, carefully wearing her necklace before Seulgi's amazement. The eyes of the hostess threatened her. Long after that, Irene growled a few words. "This time," she then snuggled into her lap again to find the most comfortable and warm place to fall asleep.
Kang Seulgi smiled to her eyes to form a curve. She hugged Irene gently, gently stroking her back. The feeling is like embracing the whole world inside. No happiness could match this moment, when she had her in hand. Seulgi felt, her life was momentarily filled with the soul of this girl.
Irene kept falling asleep in her hug. The feeling of being too warm and soft made Seulgi sink into a dream until Irene’s phone rang. Seulgi twitched her eyes in surprise, finding out that Irene was still sleeping peacefully in her lap, reaching for the table to take her phone.
Her little eyebrows are faint. The gentle movement on Irene’s back suddenly stopped. Seulgi rolled her eyes a little at the name that appeared in the screen before biting her lips off.
"Wendy"
