“Ugh..”
He thought he was having a nightmare, because of the headache he felt as soon as he opened his eyes. So-Won wrapped his head with his arms and tossed over, then he nearly screamed from the pain he felt from his lower body.
He barely lifted his head before he could look around. It was Tae-Woo’s bedroom. The sunlight poured out from the window, making it bright. Judging by the fact that So-Won doesn’t have a memory of moving here, Tae-Woo must have moved him when he passed out. So-Won turned his head when noticed someone staring at him.
“How are you feeling?”
“I think it’s okay.”
So-Won smiled awkwardly and answered Tae-Woo’s question. When he moved his waist slightly, his ace frowned. He really can’t prove his empty words. It wasn’t just the waist. His whole body was just throbbing.
So-Won, who sighed inside while checking his physical condition, asked carefully.
“What about you, Tae-Woo?”
Is he better?
The repercussions that he always felt next to him were a little quiet today. So-Won can immediately know his condition with a little rub of their fingertips. However, So-Won waited for his answer in a positive manner, fearing that it would create a strange atmosphere like yesterday.
“I feel… light.”
After So-Won heard Tae-Woo’s answer, he laughed out loud. Seeing him answer while avoiding his eyes, he seemed to feel sorry for his physical condition, which was the opposite of So-Won. It was rather strange his condition suddenly get better because of what happened yesterday. So-Won’s body was tired, but he felt a little proud, relieved, and satisfied.
So-Won buried his face in the pillow. If this is the case, he doesn’t have to look at the doctor during the regular checkup. Wait, a regular checkup?
So-Won’s eyes, which had been closing as if she was going to sleep again, opened wide.
“Isn’t today Monday?”
“That’s right.”
“It’s the day of your regular checkup, right?”
“You don’t have to worry about it because you can postpone it for a few days. Take a good rest today.”
Tae-Woo’s words made him relax. It was impossible to get to the association with this body. However, when he thought that the doctor in charge was already ready and waiting for him and Tae-Woo with an expectant face, So-Won groaned.
“No… you can’t put it off because of me.”
So-Won wriggled get up. The blanket, which had been covered up to the shoulders, slipped down and revealed the upper body. And Tae-woo and So-Won, who found traces of So-Won’s body, closed their mouths at the same time.
The body was filled with green bruises that seemed to be traces of Tae-Woo. The most noticeable thing was the big hand mark left on the waist, and it was obvious that it was Tae-Woo’s hand. In addition his body was filled with colorful marks, so So-Won was greatly embarrassed.
“…I’m sorry.”
“Oh, no! You don’t have to apologize because it doesn’t hurt.”
Tae-Woo blamed himself looking at the wounds left on So-Won’s body. It was no different from what a beast would do. So-Won, who was embarrassed for no reason looking at the traces with his eyes. So-Won quickly changed the subject.
“Then I’ll go get ready now!”
So-Won got out of bed trying to run away. However, as soon as he stepped on the floor, his legs softened and fell down. So-Won’s face was filled with question marks.
Oh? What’s wrong with me?
He tried to stand up in a panic, but his knees didn’t move. So-Won felt as if an important screw had been missing from his body. No, actually, it feels like his lower back had disappeared.
Tae-Woo came up to the side and examined So-Won. Tae-Woo’s face became more guilty, as he checked So-Won’s state.
So-Won made an excuse, feeling ashamed of Tae-Woo looking at his body.
“It’s really okay. By the way, I want to wash up…. Can you take me to the bathroom?”
“I understand.”
Tae-Woo raised So-Won and helped. So-Won, who felt the wave flowing in, was surprised for a moment.
As soon as Tae-Woo’s hand touched his body, he felt an incredibly calm wave. Come to think of it, it may be an illusion, but the veins seemed to have went donw a little. Somehow, he thought Tae-Woo’s complexion looked good, but it didn’t seem to be just his feelings. If it doesn’t get better after that guided version, that’s a problem.
“Now I can walk alone.”
When he finally arrived in front of the bathroom with Tae-Woo’s help, So-Won could stand while leaning on the wall somehow. So-Won barely managed to make Tae-Woo leave, he looked at So-Won anxiously, as if he was looking at a child who had just begun to walk, and came into the bathroom.
So-Won, who saw his reflection on the mirror, exclaimed.
“Wow…”
So-Won could now understand why Tae-Woo made such a serious face when he saw his body. There was no clear part because handprints remained on the wrists, waist, and legs, and the rest of the parts without them were full of traces of bite and kiss marks. There was also a big tooth mark on the shoulder. He didn’t have to think about who the culprit was.
Seeing that there were so many marks left, it might have been quite painful, but he didn’t feel any pain. So-Won touched the marks off his body and recalled what happened yesterday. He didn’t feel repulsed than he thought. On the contrary…
So-Won’s face flushed. The more he saw the traces on his body, the more he remembered what happened yesterday, and So-Won hurriedly started taking a shower.
“As expected… If other people see it, they will misunderstand.”
So-Won, who was choosing clothes to wear, was in trouble. Even if the heat had subsided, it was still hot to wear long sleeves. But he had bruises on his wrist, so if he wore clothes that showed his skin, people would assume he was bullied by Tae-Woo. Since Tae-Woo’s reputation was not so good, it would have been quick for bad rumors to spread if he showed this to others.
After thinking about it for a long time, So-Won eventually took out a thin shirt from the closet and wore it. Locking the button to the end of the neck could cover the marks on the neck, even though it was frustrating. This should be fine.
When he came downstairs, Tae-Woo, who was already ready, was still looking down at something.
“What’s going on?”
So-Won approached Tae-Woo and asked. As soon as he checked what Tae-Woo was looking at, he became speechless.
The sofa, where Tae-Woo and So-Won had a conversation with their body and mind last night, was horribly broken. One side of the leg was broken and tilted like a slide, and the backrest was separated in half. Come to think of it, So-Won thought he heard something break yesterday.
“I’ll have to order a new one…”
So-Won murmured. Next time order a stronger sofa, he wanted to say but managed to swallow it.
So-Won asked, looking away from the sofa.
“Shall we go now?”
“Yes.”
So-Won, who came out with Tae-Woo, smiled pleasantly in the sunny weather. The clear sky welcomed So-Won.
It was calm.
So-Won was so light-hearted that he couldn’t feel the stiffness of his body.
The doctor in charge was mesmerized by the unbelievable results.
He handed over the pamphlet, but he didn’t expect So-Won to manage to perform a guided tour with Tae-Woo.
He thought like that when he meet him…
But what’s going on? So-Won is able to accomplish the difficult task!
Tae-Woo’s condition improved greatly only a week after he showed symptoms of runaway after visiting the gate. This was a figure he haven’t seen in years since he became Tae-Woo’s doctor. Although it was not completely stable yet, it was enough to concentrate on research with for the time being.
“Guide Lee So-won, you’re amazing! I’ve never seen such a result!”
The doctor in charge grabbed So-Won’s hand and shook it up and down with a very impressed face. He wanted to print hundreds and thousands of results right now and scatter them out of the window. It was not enough to make a large banner and hang it on the association building.
“With this figure, even if you report it to the International Association right now…!”
The doctor in charge, who seemed to pour praise on So-Won forever, closed his mouth at the fierce gaze felt next to him. It was only then that he noticed So-Won was was embarrassed by his violent reaction. The doctor, who quickly found his composure, swallowed his saliva and carefully let go of his hand, and at the same time, his eyes looked down. The doctor in charge swept his heart.
“Hmm… Then let me tell you the results of the test first.”
So-Won looked at the data on the monitor that the doctor pointed to while explaining Tae-Woo’s condition. All the letters in it were English and technical terms, so he couldn’t understand anything, he recognize one thing.
“So you’re saying this is Tae-Woo’s condition, right?”
a line that shakes unsteadily and then falls suddenly down So-Won asked, pointing to the end.
“Yes. This here is the state of Kang Tae-Woo Esper.”
The doctor kindly smiled and answered the question. So-Won was speechless as she looked at the graph showing Tae-Woo’s wavelength figure.
The figures are… Can it bend 90 degrees?
“The reason why he’ve calmed down this much may be because of his condition, but it’s probably because of the high matching rate.The matching rate of 100% is really different. I can’t believe that the wavelength level that was piled up went down by more than half at once….”
The doctor in charge was impressed as if answering So-Won’s thoughts. It may not have meant anything else, but So-Won couldn’t raise his head. When he raised his head for a moment, the doctor in charge was looking at So-Won with a happy smile, so So-Won tried to fix his eyes on the paper.
