Chapter 215 – 39. Visiting the Sick
.
Overwork.
Stress.
Nutritional imbalance.
Lack of sleep time.
I took a shower with low temperature water last night…
Various things that could cause cold body aches raced through my mind as I pulled the blanket up to my chin.
Perhaps the culprit who struck the final blow was Shower.
Other things may have tried to ruin the body in their own way, but they wouldn’t have had as big an impact as the shower.
If there is a good thing among misfortunes, it is that the symptoms of cold body aches are not that severe.
I don’t have a thermometer at home, so there’s no way to check, but looking back on the memories of being sick, I thought it would be a mild fever of just over 37 degrees at most.
When I put my hand on my forehead, it wasn’t even hot. No matter how severe it is, it’s 38 degrees… Well, that’s about it.
The same goes for sneezing. Although it was frequent, my throat didn’t hurt that much.
I’ll have to wait and see what happens later, but for now, I think I can tolerate it.
Other than that, there are no other special symptoms,
If I try to act like I’m fine…
Even if you continue your daily life like this, there will be no problem.
“…”
As mentioned earlier,
If you try.
“Ugh…”
Sunday.
Unless you have a reason to go out, it’s a day you can just spend at home.
There are no supplementary classes for the student council, and there is no need to drink alcohol to the point where one cannot control one’s body like someone did yesterday.
So I didn’t want to try to pretend I was fine.
Take it easy, just for one day.
It felt like a mild cold that would get better after a day or two of rest, so I wanted to stay comfortable.
Even if you get a disappointing call asking if there is any more useful information, you use your physical condition as an excuse,
I desperately wanted to spend the weekend doing nothing.
Of course, because I was sick, in my head,
“…”
A healing transcendental person who is strangely irritating, perhaps because he draws clear lines in such a needless manner.
Even when I got slightly cut on paper a few weeks ago, I was told to come to him at any time if I got hurt.
… Although it came to mind.
“… Phew…”
I shook my head because it felt a little uncomfortable to be treated by that person.
Because of pride, even though it seemed similar, there was something different about it.
Because he’s the man Yozora has her eyes on?
This isn’t real.
Because I don’t want to create debt to Seo Woo Jin.
This seems to be the most accurate.
I was a bit like that to begin with,
If you want to at least bring up Yozora in front of that man,
I don’t want to create debt, but even if the situation were the opposite, it wouldn’t be enough.
For example, saving someone who has no fighting ability from some kind of danger…
…
… I don’t know.
My head hurts,
Something like an idea.
It’s hard to remember…
“10 o’clock…”
After checking the time on my phone, I got out of the warm blanket with a helpless sigh.
“Ha… I left it somewhere… “
For now,
I’ll have to buy some medicine first.
215
Ball cap to cover frizzy hair.
The jumper I wore yesterday, already about 2 years old and showing signs of wear.
In addition, cream-colored jogger pants that are practically worn as pajamas.
I came out in an outfit that didn’t care about fashion at all, and after much deliberation, I ended up heading to the convenience store.
It is true that pharmacies are more reliable even for the same over-the-counter medications, but the distance from convenience stores is quite large.
If you consider the round trip, the difference will double.
It must have rained briefly last night, so the ground is slightly wet.
Along the way, I walked at a slower pace than usual, wet the soles of my shoes, and absentmindedly entered the convenience store in front of my house.
Just when I was trying to put on my hat a little more tightly.
I met an unexpected person.
“Huh?”
“…”
Vice President Yoo Si-woo.
His gaze, which was purchasing disposable electronic cigarettes in front of the cash register, turned to me who had just opened the door and entered.
“Hmm… ? Hmm… ?”
“…”
Thanks to the brim of the ball cap, I couldn’t recognize him right away, but judging by his reaction, it was clear that he almost recognized me, only failing to be sure.
As the article goes on, the hair is an unusual blue-white color and quite long, so it is natural for such a reaction to occur.
The guy who followed me around like a stalker even before I joined the student council… No, there’s no way he couldn’t tell the color of my hair.
It was obvious that it would be a bother if my identity was discovered, so I naturally pretended not to notice and headed inside the convenience store, but of course the stinging gaze directed at the back of my head was constant.
… I wish you would just go.
Instead of coming into the convenience store, I think I should have turned around and walked out.
Or, if you pick up a few condoms from the counter over there and take them to the counter, you’ll be disappointed and call them sluts…
“Sun. Ship.”
“…”
As I looked at the stand, wiping my mouth with my hand, pretending to be worried, I heard the Vice Student Council President’s distinctive, thin voice in my ear.
I suddenly remembered Seo Woo Jin’s voice last night, but soon forgot it.
“Senior, you also use a convenience store, right? To be honest, when I first saw you, I thought it was Gingamin, but your height, hair, etc. Are exactly the same as you…”
“…”
“Why aren’t you answering? I’m sad.”
“… “I have nothing to say.”
“If we meet in a place like this, isn’t it really destiny? How many convenience stores are there in the world?”
“If there were convenience stores around here, there would be about 5, so it would be about 20%.”
“20% is great. Now we have to multiply that by the probability of stopping by the convenience store at the same time, the probability of living in a similar place, etc.”
“…”
Isn’t it just that you deliberately only use convenience stores near my house?
The words rose to the top of my throat, but eventually came out of my mouth as a quiet sigh.
I’m full of heartache, but there’s no physical evidence.
It’s just because I didn’t want to talk too long.
It is a dog that says 10 or 20 words on its own for every word you throw at it, so the most important thing is not to give it food from the beginning.
Especially when, like now, my head is pounding due to a cold.
“Senior, what did you come to buy?”
“…”
“Oh, I came here to buy it. It’s a little far from my house, but this flavor is sold out elsewhere.”
“…”
“I don’t know if my tastes are hipster, but I guess it’s just because it’s the public’s pick.”
“…”
Although I had knowledge because I often saw my sisters smoking disposable electronic cigarettes, I didn’t say anything and looked for cold medicine.
Fortunately, it was displayed in a conspicuous place, so I was able to find it quickly.
I ignored him talking as if he was close to me, taking any medicine that had ‘fever reduction’ in it and headed to the checkout counter.
“It’s 2,300 won.”
“… Wait a minute.”
“Medicine? Senior, where does it hurt?”
“Do you need an envelope or receipt?”
“No.”
“Senior? Are you in pain?”
“…”
“Goodbye~”
“Senior?”
“…”
“Hey. Is this Seoyeon’s older sister?”
“… Ha… I have a fever. Are you satisfied now?”
The chattering next to you is noisy.
I just want to go home quickly, take medicine, and lie down in bed.
With that in mind, I gave a short answer and tried to go home, but Yoo Si-woo, who followed me out of the convenience store, blocked my path.
“I will take care of you!”
“…”
Sound like an idiot,
Put it in your mouth.
“I don’t particularly appreciate your words, but I don’t need you to take care of me. I’m sorry.”
“I’m better at things like that than I thought! Putting a wet towel on my head, buying porridge…”
“It’s not important whether I do it well or not, but I feel like when I send it back later, some of my underwear will be missing. Those are things that should be in the laundry basket, not the drawer.”
“I won’t steal it. Should I at least write a memorandum and go in?”
“Ha… It’s not so painful that you make a fuss, so go home and play your favorite game.”
“It’s a game console that can be carried around anyway, so I don’t mind playing it at my senior’s house.”
“… Don’t you usually say you don’t do that?”
“Anyway! Anyway, it means I want to help you that much.”
“I want to help you… ?”
“Yes!”
I want to help you, La.
… Is it okay to believe that literally?
Rather than believing those words pretending to be pure kindness and letting him into the house,
Wouldn’t it be much more accurate to say that I wanted to try anything while I was sick?
While I was staring at him who was blocking my passage as if he wouldn’t get out of the way until I gave him permission.
I took a deep breath and started whispering words to get Yu Si-woo to leave.
“… Over there.”
“Yes, senior.”
“Rather than having you, a non-expert, provide poor care next to me, wouldn’t it be better to ask for understanding from the health teacher?”
“… Yes?”
I don’t need anyone like you.
“That’s right. The vice-student council president… You just said that you didn’t mean anything dirty and that you just wanted to help me with my care.”
“Yeah, that’s true, but I already bought the medicine, and it’s a nuisance to ask for separate treatment on the weekend, right?”
I know you’re clinging to me in a dirty way, so get off.
“I’m sure it’ll be okay? I’m kind of a friend with the health teacher.”
“Isn’t the only friendship we had when we bumped into each other while jogging?”
“There’s more to it than that. Something the vice-student president doesn’t know.”
“…”
You don’t know, but we are friends.
… Are you jealous?
What if you get jealous?
What should I do?
“So that’s it, I called the health teacher to my house…”
“…”
“I’ll just keep this stuff I just bought as an emergency medicine.”
“…”
“I don’t need your care… , … Don’t follow me. When I say nice things.”
“…”
He always tests my patience by being loud, but today is probably the first time I’ve seen the vice-student president become speechless like that.
Feeling an unexpected light exhilaration, I returned home before the vice-student president escaped again like a snake and caught me.
Of course, calling Seo Woo Jin to my house alone or something like that was a lie, but…
… Collock,
Collock.
*****
… Ugh.
Even though I woke up, I still don’t feel well…
“Keuung…”
It seems like I fell asleep early, but how did it happen that I didn’t wake up until around lunch time?
Even after sleeping well for nearly 12 hours, I had a hard time waking up, so I squinted and brushed my messy golden hair.
I wonder what time it is while being so dazed, the bean sprout soup smells good, ugh, my body smells like alcohol… While I was sniffing and thinking about things like that.
I finally came to my senses and began to look back on the memories of last night.
Therefore…
Yozora said, ‘Sua-chan, you drink really well!’ From the time he kept pouring me drinks and I drank them in large quantities, to meeting the teacher in front of my house while being supported by the student council president.
I wondered what if there was a gap in the memory in the middle, but fortunately there was no catastrophe such as ‘the film stopped’.
Of course, I couldn’t remember the details of what we talked about, but at least I didn’t seem to have missed anything within the larger flow. The flow of memories is also natural.
“Thank goodness…”
… When I’m drunk, I laugh and make loud noises without any context.
It’s a bit embarrassing, but at least this is a noble thing.
I heard that some people become dogs when they drink alcohol. Yes, yes.
If there was a gap in my memory, I would have immediately contacted Yozora to find out what happened, but there didn’t seem to be any need to make such a fuss.
Huh, I sighed in relief and slowly got up, sniffing the smell of bean sprout soup wafting from outside the room.
“…”
Instead, it is the student council president who is worried about this happening.
We weren’t drinking together or even close friends, but didn’t you help us get to the front of the house?
Without even saying thank you to the person who worked so hard, I was hugged by the teacher and rubbing his cheek.
From the perspective of making friends, that’s an action that’s no better than 0 points.
For this, I received Yozora’s phone number and contacted her separately…
“… Ugh.”
Wait.
Then, what is the relationship between me and the teacher? She saw it all.
And that too in a sober spirit without any alcohol.
“…”
But, it’s not a celebrity scandal… , Isn’t it okay to get caught with that arrangement?
As for sexual partners, when I read comics and novels, it seemed like a very common relationship like Yozora said…
For a while, my inner thoughts go back and forth between the shame of being caught by others and the feeling that it would be better to just admit it.
I got the student council president’s number from Yozora, who happened to be awake, and carefully made the call while still fully awake.
Anyway, it’s right to say thank you.
The story about the relationship with the teacher follows.
-Turrr
Immediately after putting the smartphone to my ear, I heard a ringing tone even before the call ringtone rang three times.
– … Hello?
“Ah, well, the student council president helped me yesterday…”
What I hear from beyond is,
The student council president’s listless voice was quite different from what I heard yesterday.
– … Well, Hansoo… Cough… !
It was a small coughing sound.
