The Love That Remains Chapter 24

I wake up and see the white ceiling . I can smell the aseptic smell of the hospital . I sit up groggily and find Sung Jun beside me in dishevelled school uniform . There are dark circles under his eyes and his skin is pale . He looks tired and ready to drop anytime .

What is he doing here?

"You are finally awake . " He cups my face and looks into my eyes . "I have been waiting . "

"Jun, did you have a bath today?" He smiles tiredly when he hears my question and closes his eyes . He puts his arms around my waist and falls asleep .

"I am not letting you go this time . " He murmurs after getting comfortable with my lap .

"Hey, what are you doing? I am the patient here . " I yell and try to push him away . His hold is tighter than an iron lock . I lightly slap his cheek . He doesn't respond at all . I put my finger under his nose to check whether he is breathing .

This guy is just sleeping .

"Hey, I need to go to the bathroom . . . . "

He doesn't respond at all . I pinch his cheek . Soft . . . I will love to ogle him right now, but the need to pee is a grave emergency .

I sigh and press the b.u.t.ton to call a nurse . It's barely a minute when a nurse with short hair and blue uniform rushes in .

"You are awake . " She looks at me and then, at Sung Jun . "Did he sleep? Thank G.o.d, he didn't sleep for the last four days . "

"Can you wake him up?" I can't afford to care about his sleep . I need to pee .

"No, I need to call the doctor . " She runs away before I can stop her .

Hold it, Fang Aisa . You can't wet your pants . This idiot is sleeping in your lap .

"Jun!" I slap his cheek again . "Wake up, I need to pee . "

He doesn't wake up at all . I can hear the sound of light snoring .

"Are you kidding me? Who told you to not sleep?" I can't even move my waist . What if it leaks out . "Wake up, Jun . "

"If you wake up, I will do anything you ask . " I am on the verge of crying . I don't want to lose my 'left-over' dignity .

Just then, Sung Jun let me go . I don't think much about it and jump off the bed . But my feet don't cooperate and I fall on the floor, wetting my pants before I stop . d.a.m.n!

Just then, a haggard man in a white coat walks into the room . I a.s.sume that this man is the doctor who has been treating me .

He glances at me and says, "Miss Fang, you woke up finally . "

And he starts bawling like a child .

"Thank G.o.d, you are awake . "

His face is full of grievances . I am dumbfounded . Are doctors supposed to get this emotional at this level for a random patient? Why he is wailing?

Suddenly, I am no longer on the floor . I get dizzy by sudden momentum and grab his shoulder . I am being carried to the bathroom in a princess style .

"Let me down . " I wriggle in his arm . "You lying pretentious fox!" He was just pretending to be asleep earlier, wasn't he?

He doesn't stop despite my protest . He lightly kicks the door of the bathroom and gets in . Then, he put me down on the floor . I notice that his s.h.i.+rt is wet too . Looking at my wet pants, I don't have to guess . I am embarra.s.sed . Both of us smell like urine .

"Don't you need help?" He asks me quietly . I feel like crying . Why is this devil here? He isn't even my family . How come the hospital administration is letting him stay?

"Get out!" Please leave me a bit of privacy .

He nods like a robot . "I will bring you clothes . "

"Jun . "

He stops and looks back at me . He doesn't look anything like his usual self . There is something in his eyes that I can't recognise . I am bit worried . Just a bit . This is just humanity . It is just a little bit of worry a human can feel for another human . It's not anything deep .

"Go home and rest . . . I will be fine . " I resist the urge to hug him and say that I am here for him

He sighs softly and pats my head .

"Aisa, you nearly killed me . " He plants a kiss on my cheek and leaves without saying another word . It's hard not to feel anything . I wake up and see the white ceiling . I can smell the aseptic smell of the hospital . I sit up groggily and find Sung Jun beside me in dishevelled school uniform . There are dark circles under his eyes and his skin is pale . He looks tired and ready to drop anytime . What is he doing here? You are finally awake . He cups my face and looks into my eyes . I have been waiting . Jun, did you have a bath today?
