Chapter 149 – Confusion (1)

In life, things happen that make us doubt the existence of God.

There are many examples and many different types of things.

Let me give you an example among them…

How often does an important day overlap with an even more important day?

*

“Ugh…”

Lee Ji-yeon, lying down on the bed, coughed harshly, moaned, and made a groaning sound.

I felt sorry for her, so I gently brushed away her flowing bangs and said,

“… “Would you like some water?”

Instead of answering, Jiyeon Lee nodded and took the water I gave her and sipped it.

After drinking water with difficulty, she hands over her glass.

I glanced at the cup, and it seemed like water was at least better.

… Should I buy something to drink? .

She had been showing signs of weakness for a few days, and started suffering from body aches last night, and eventually fell ill.

Thanks to this, I ended up handing over today’s schedule to another manager.

A while ago, I received a call from CEO Choi, and when she heard the news, she gave me a few days off with a request to take good care of Ji-yeon Lee.

One way or another, I could see how CEO Choi thought of Jiyeon Lee as if she were his daughter.

As soon as morning came, she contacted Lee Ji-yeon’s doctor and received treatment, and strangely enough, she was told that there was no pain anywhere.

But Jiyeon Lee looked like a sick person to anyone.

It was ironic that a person lying down in a cold sweat was healthy.

The doctor was unable to make a specific diagnosis, and she tried to evacuate Ji-yeon Lee, saying that she would probably have to go to a big hospital, but Ji-yeon Lee’s strong dissuasion led her to protect her by herself.

Ji-yeon Lee said she would tell her family, but she insisted not to tell.

She said she didn’t need a hospital or care since it was obvious she was sick, and she only said that she would get better in a few days.

I couldn’t even finish the food and could barely sip water, so I felt like my heart was breaking as I watched from the sidelines.

I spoke carefully to Lee Ji-yeon, who was breathing heavily with her eyes slightly closed, as if it was beyond her strength.

“… Should I buy something I can drink and eat?”

“… It’s okay, it’s okay.”

She quietly refuses my recommendation, saying it’s okay.

Seeing her like that, she let out a deep sigh and wondered if there was any way to take care of her.

The only thing I have at home is some leftover juice and alcohol.

After looking around, the only thing I found was coffee.

At least I am receiving an IV, but even that has its limits.

Since it seems okay to drink things like water, I thought it would be a good idea to feed them some of the meal replacement foods that are available these days.

“… Jiyeon, I’m going to get something for a moment.”

Jiyeon Lee seemed to already know what I was thinking.

“… Just have it delivered.”

As she said, it can be resolved through delivery.

But…, She felt like she had to do something for her because she was just sitting there watching her hurt.

“No, delivery takes a long time, so I’ll be right back. If you want something to eat, call me. Okay?”

Perhaps because she was in pain or because she was displeased, she frowned and looked at me without answering.

She almost gave in to her stubbornness, but she had already starved for three meals. I felt like I would be uncomfortable if I didn’t feed him like this.

I immediately took her purse and started preparing to buy her groceries, and finished the preparations by gently persuading Ji-yeon Lee, who was complaining that she was going to buy groceries instead of having them delivered.

Before leaving the room, she whispered to Jiyeon Lee, who was glaring at me with dissatisfied eyes.

“… “I’ll be back soon.”

“… “I don’t know.”

She pursed her lips and turned her head, and I grabbed Lee Ji-yeon’s face, turned her around, kissed her, and then immediately left her room.

So I left the house and headed to the supermarket in front of my house to buy groceries.

Weekday afternoon. Perhaps because it was a time when there weren’t many people, I was able to shop comfortably while pushing a cart…

… Is this enough?

Times are good these days, and there are many products on the market that can be consumed like beverages to fill your nutritional needs.

Since she didn’t know what Jiyeon Lee would like, she was putting things into her cart.

‘Jiing-Jiing-‘

I felt a vibration in my arms.

… Is it a delay?

Immediately while pulling the cart with one hand, I took out my cell phone and saw that a call was coming from a completely different place.

[Baek Ga-eun]

It was Baek Ga-eun.

… Huh?

It wasn’t strange that Baek Ga-eun called.

However, he had already contacted me to tell me that he would not be able to go to work in the morning, and by this time, he was in full swing on the filming set.

After her relationship with Baek Ga-eun, she is in contact more often than before.

But… Since a relationship is a relationship, it is an implicit rule to confirm with a message before calling.

But calling at this hour?

Something could happen, so I thought it would be a good idea to pick up the phone first.

… What could happen?

I immediately got a call from Baek Ga-eun and started wandering aimlessly around her supermarket.

“… Hello.”

[…]

“… Hello?”

After answering the phone, I spoke several times, but no sound was heard.

… What is it?

The call with Baek Ga-eun was clearly continuing, and perhaps I had turned off the sound? I checked the volume and speakers, but I couldn’t hear any sound.

“… Ga-eun?”

When I spoke to Baek Ga-eun over the phone again.

[… Bah.]

Baek Ga-eun’s faint voice was heard.

“… Hello? Ga-eun, what’s going on? “Are you on set right now?”

[…]

This time, she did not answer for a long time, but spoke slowly in her faintly trembling voice.

[… Oh, brother…]

“… Yes, Ga-eun.”

Over the phone, she hesitated again and carefully began to speak.

[… Ooh, we…, Now… Uh, what should I do… ?]

A trembling voice as if something is uneasy.

I could guess something was going on…

… No way.

Suddenly, a thought passed through my mind.

… What day is today?

She quickly rolled her head and realized that it would soon be four weeks.

At that time, Baek Ga-eun’s voice flew into my ear.

[… Two lines, like this…]

The moment I heard Baek Ga-eun’s words, I felt like her hair turned white.

[… While filming today, I felt like I wasn’t feeling well, so as soon as I got home…]

Baek Ga-eun’s voice on the other end of her phone and the noise from her supermarket mixed together and started to mess with her head.

Standing in the middle of her supermarket, I began to sweat as if I was standing in the middle of a desert.

A feeling of dryness in the mouth and a dizzying vision as if one had been exposed to heat.

[… What should I do now? Oppa?]

I was finally able to come to my senses as Baek Ga-eun’s voice penetrated my tightly closed ears.

“… Uh, huh? Two…”

I was about to ask her if the two lines were true, but I belatedly remembered that this was a supermarket and stopped her.

“… Well, first, I…”

I tried to say something to Baek Ga-eun, but she didn’t spit it out the way I wanted.

Why am I standing here?

Didn’t you come this far for Lee Ji-yeon, who was starving and suffering from a mysterious illness?

I love Jiyeon Lee, so of course Jiyeon Lee was my top priority.

Because that’s right.

So…, It would be right to take care of Lee Ji-yeon first and then talk to Baek Ga-eun.

However…

Something was strange.

What I love is Baek Ga-eun, no…, Lee Ji-yeon… Pregnancy… Kid? Huh?

My thoughts were jumbled together, as if a broken tape had been played in my head.

… Baby, right now… Lord, oatmeal…, Ah…, No…, That’s not possible…, Legacy…, Uh…

I couldn’t control my trembling body, and cold sweat began to flow like a person caught in the rain.

The moment when I felt strong dizziness and my vision became blurry.

[[Brother? ]

Baek Ga-eun’s voice calling me, in my head and in my ears…, Rang out at the same time.

At the same time, the abnormal phenomena that had surrounded the body disappeared in an instant, like water being poured on a matchstick.

Her vision became clear, her dizzy vision began to return, and no strange thoughts occurred, as if the cassette that had been spinning in her head had been forcibly removed.

I couldn’t even remember what I was thinking.

… Uh? What am I…

As soon as she shook her head and came to her senses, she heard Baek Ga-eun’s voice.

[… Oppa.]

“… Ugh, yes, Ga-eun…”

[…]

Baek Ga-eun, who was silent for a moment, spoke quietly.

[… What should we do?]

… Is it an illusion?

It seemed like the tremor in Baek Ga-eun’s voice had disappeared.

“… Ga-eun, first, I’ll come to your house…, First, calm down. You have an older brother…, Huh?”

For some reason, I quietly spoke to Baek Ga-eun, who was silent.

“… I was out for a moment…, I will contact you soon. Okay?”

After not answering for a while, Baek Ga-eun returned her answer in a low voice, and I reassured her and quickly got ready to return to her home.

On the way home in a hurry after finishing shopping.

As I was walking down the street at a fast pace, I organized the situation in my head.

… Let’s feed Jiyeon first…, I’ll try contacting Ga-eun again…

Since it has already been confirmed that you are pregnant, a difference of one or two hours does not mean that the baby will grow any further.

I’m going to wean the baby anyway, so a difference of a day or two won’t cause any major problems.

It is said that commercially available drugs can cover up to 7 weeks, so that would be sufficient.

… How do I give medicine to Baek Ga-eun…

While I was calmly assessing the situation…

For some reason, the tingling in my chest felt somewhat familiar.

… What was it?

She felt similar to the time she and Baek Ga-eun had sex in the living room of her house.

It felt like she was warning me not to do it.

“… Phew…”

I immediately let out a big sigh and let my thoughts go.

… I have to do this.

Otherwise, I don’t know what my future will be like.

… I don’t want crazy bitches in my life.
