chapter 38
38 – Hospitalization
I’m sleeping hard, drooling all over my pillow.
I heard a loud sound of the curtain being opened, so I woke up.
At first, I thought Ara had come.
The person who came in was not interested in me and was rummaging through the things he brought with him.
I immediately figured out that he was a nurse or a doctor.
If it were Ara, she would have made a fuss as soon as she came in, asking if she was okay or anything.
“Patient and guardian are late, so I’ll take a blood test and administer an IV first.”
“Yes…”
I was tired because I woke up from sleep.
I simply nodded and answered briefly.
It appears that hospitalization is confirmed.
Usually before hospitalization
Was it a blood test, urine test, and electrocardiogram?
I understand that and the pulmonary function test.
I can’t hear the tinnitus anymore.
The headache did not go away and remained the same.
I rolled up my arms and placed them on the stand.
The nurse began tying a yellow rubber band to her forearm.
I very skillfully unwrapped several syringes.
The nurse disinfected her wrist with an alcohol swab.
He held out a needle that looked more painful than expected.
“It stings.”
As soon as the cold needle pierces the flesh,
I felt a twinge of pain in my eyes.
What is a sting? How could the pain that pierces the flesh end with a sting?
“Ugh… I think I stabbed you wrong… I’ll stab you again.”
“Ugh.. It hurts..”
“I’m sorry.”
I guess the blood vessels are hard to see.
It appears that it failed to plug in at once.
Once again, I open the alcohol swap.
Rub your wrists
A new needle was inserted.
After being stabbed twice, blood began to form on the tip of the needle.
I attached a container with a barcode with my name on it to the end of the needle.
So, blood started gushing out like a fountain in a lake in a park.
It was difficult to watch so I turned my head.
It’s not like I have a blood phobia or anything.
Should I say that the pain gets worse as I look at it?
It was difficult to look at the dizziness as it seemed to be getting worse.
I filled the four containers about halfway.
The container containing the red blood was swirled like wine.
Are you a nurse who has tried some wine?
Afterwards, he connected the IV right away without pulling out the needle.
And cold liquid flows through the blood vessels,
Instantly, skin grew all over my body.
To the point where I feel like I’m already feeling vascular pain.
It was an unpleasant feeling.
“But why are IVs appropriate?”
“This is a physiological salt injection containing vitamins.
Hospitalized patients spend a lot of time lying down, so their water intake is inevitably low.
Maybe that’s why he often complains of dehydration, so I’m basically treating him.”
Well, they are probably people who are tired because they are sick.
Do you have the energy to drink water?
After listening to it, it doesn’t seem to contain glucose or anything.
But you have to fast before getting a CT or MRI.
Wouldn’t it be better to add glucose instead?
“Okay, I’ll come back later when the guardian comes.
Once you have completed the hospitalization procedures and completed the consent form for contrast media,
You can go up after being assigned to the ward.”
I said hello to the nurse who explained everything in detail.
He smiled quietly, closed the curtains, and left.
The man’s smile gave me goosebumps a little.
But since he is a handsome nurse, he must be popular with women.
To wake up from sleep
I slapped him gently on the cheek.
I’m probably the only one who gets a good night’s sleep like this in the emergency room.
For some people, it is a crossroads between life and death.
“Anyway, when is Sister Ara coming?”
The clock on my phone was already showing 5 o’clock.
Around this time, Ara arrives at her house.
Time to finish showering and changing clothes.
What’s going on?
Maybe I got into an accident because I was distracted by worrying about myself?
I’m worried.
Still, my body
I started urging him to go to sleep quickly.
If you don’t sleep now, there will be a strike.
He was crying with a loudspeaker.
“Should I take a deep breath…”
It’s not like I’m snoring.
Wouldn’t it be okay to sleep with the curtains closed?
In the first place, I am also a patient.
You wouldn’t pay attention to a patient who came in sick, even if they were sleeping.
Okay, let’s just sleep well and wake up.
I nod my head and rationalize myself.
I put my head on the pillow.
And cover yourself with a blanket all the way down to your toes.
I closed my eyes.
“Protect… You! You can’t… Run!”
The nurse shouted so loudly that the entire emergency center could be heard.
I was forced to open my eyes.
Check your phone while lying down
The big needle was already pointing to 6.
I think I slept for about 5 minutes, but I’ve already slept for an hour.
I yawned and sat down on the side of the bed.
At that time, it was as if someone had calculated the timing.
While yawning, he pulled back the curtain and rushed in.
There, it doesn’t match the pretty face.
A woman with a sad expression was standing there.
It was just Ara.
Once again, I yawned loudly and raised my hand in greeting.
Is it only then that he realized that he had been mistaken?
I let out a deep sigh.
It was a sigh of relief.
“……Seonghwan, are you okay…?”
“My sister is here? I’m fine.”
Ara said she couldn’t believe it.
Her hands groped my entire body.
For some reason, Ara’s touch, which was secretly satisfying her own desires, was strange.
She said I shouldn’t touch her anywhere other than the bed because it’s sensitive there.
I wonder what the nurse sitting in front of the emergency center was confused about.
It seems that I was separated from the older sister who hit the taxi from behind.
I called Ara
After the accident, she was taken in an ambulance.
It seems that she had not yet regained her senses and told her to come quickly.
The reality is that I rode a police car all the way to the emergency room.
I walked inside with my own feet.
“Are you surprised?”
“Yes……..”
She stretched out her hand and stroked Ara’s cheek.
Ara looked like she was going to cry at any moment.
She stroked my hand, which was stroking her cheek.
“I’m sorry I’m late…”
“You don’t have to be sorry? I had no choice but to come because the police told me to go.”
He laughed and asked if I was overly worried because I was a man.
He stroked her head with the same hand that stroked her cheek, telling her not to worry.
For about five minutes, she lowered her head and
Ara was happily receiving my touch like her cat.
I wiped my eyes with my sleeve and got up.
Eyes that look a little moist
It twinkled like a star in the night sky.
“Sister, are you crying?”
He made a giggling noise and teased Ara.
As if to fight back, Ara shook her head in great confusion.
Isn’t it said that strong negativity is positivity?
I guess tears came out, but it seemed like they were embarrassed to show it to me.
“W…What makes a woman cry…! I said a woman cries three times after birth!”
“Number 3? When and when is it okay to cry?”
“When you were born, when your parents died…And…When you enlisted?”
Ara tilted her head as if she couldn’t remember anything.
When she enlisted, she seemed to be okay with crying while bowing loudly to her parents.
I don’t know who made that rule, but he is quite a benevolent person.
Now that I think about it, did you say that women serve in the military here in this world?
Some people think it is a natural duty.
Some people think it is unfair that only women go to the military.
It was similar to the other world, but there was one fundamental difference.
I understand that military service gives extra points in the civil service exam.
“Anyway, my sister will go through hospitalization procedures and come over.
Don’t sleep, just sit and wait.”
“Yes~”
I smiled at Ara with a big smile on my face.
She looked like she was looking at a helpless child.
I stroked her head.
We are only two years older than each other
Do you remember Ara?
Judging by the way she treats me, I’m half her husband.
It seems like Van is treating her like a younger brother.
***
After completing hospitalization procedures
I arrived at the hospital room where I would be staying for a while.
If it’s obvious, it’s natural, but
The place where Ara put me was a single room.
In the past, I would have said that a 6-person room would be okay.
Because I was starting to become somewhat famous.
I swallowed those words into my stomach.
If you will be using a shared room,
You will be harassed by other patients and their families until you are discharged.
If you think about it, a single room was a very reasonable expense.
“My sister will bring toothbrush and shampoo from home.”
“Thank you.”
“Thank you…”
Don’t be thankful for just that.
Ara hit my back loudly.
Unlike usual, I was embarrassed because I felt a little pain.
Compared to the worry, it was only a small loss.
I stayed calm and didn’t say anything.
“Now that you’re hospitalized, let’s examine every inch of your body.”
“Well… I don’t think you will…”
“Listen to me, sister.”
“Yes…”
Her lips turned up in a pout and he was broken by her stern words.
It is an opponent that is impossible to even attack in the first place.
Change the patient clothes that are on the bed.
I put the clothes I was wearing in the closet.
Because it was my first time wearing a patient uniform.
It was a different feeling.
When I wear this, I feel like a real patient.
Should I say that I am experiencing headaches and stomachaches that I never had before?
Besides, it’s a bit annoying that the color of the clothes is pink.
I don’t know about the guys here, but I really hate pink.
In particular, it is safe to say that I hate hot pink things like this patient uniform.
“Can’t I wear blue?”
“Blue is for women.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a woman’s…”
“If a boy wears something a girl wears, do you use it?!”
Ara was about to get angry, so she kept her mouth shut.
She was so foolish.
*
Now that I think about it, the time has already passed.
It was already past 8 o’clock.
There was no time limit on visiting hours.
Because the lights in the 6-person room are usually turned off at 9 o’clock.
Out of consideration, except for one guardian,
Everyone is said to leave at 9 o’clock.
In Ara’s case, it doesn’t matter because she only has one guardian.
Because she was an idol who had work tomorrow, she couldn’t be left in the hospital.
“Sister, go home and rest quickly.”
“Huh?”
“You have to go to work tomorrow too. You definitely don’t plan on staying here, do you?”
“Oh…Isn’t it possible?”
“Of course not…”
Even if it is my husband’s hospital room,
I can’t see idol Ara sleeping on a cot.
That cot will break her back once she gets up.
I’m sure I’ll catch Ara’s cold.
Why is there a need to go through such trouble?
I’m fine alone, so don’t worry.
He pushed me to go back home.
“Go and rest. There are side dishes in the refrigerator, so don’t buy ramen or anything like that.
Be sure to eat at home. Did you know?”
“Yes…”
“Take off your clothes and put them in the basket under the washing machine.
Separate your clothes by color and put your underwear in a separate laundry net.”
“Okay… I’m not a child.”
“And every time, I turn my socks inside out and take them off.
You mix it up with underwear and going out clothes and throw it into a random basket.”
“Ugh….”
Ara stood in front of me with an expression as if she was going to cry at any moment.
I closed my eyes.
I gently kissed her lips.
I wanted a sweet, leisurely kiss, but
Because Ara’s tongue has penetrated
I also took out her siege weapons and attacked Ara’s walls.
I don’t know if it’s okay to do this in a hospital room.
Anyway, it’s a single room.
Ara attacked her by whipping her mouth.
Recently, just by receiving Ara’s kiss, her lower body became wet.
Because she has reached the level of excitement
It would have been dangerous to do more.
It seems to be evidence of that.
As Ara’s hand groped towards increasingly sensual places,
He held back her tears and slowly pushed her shoulders.
Ara was already so excited that her face turned red like a patient with high blood pressure.
Even though I pushed her shoulder away from her, she insisted on kissing me.
If I continued like this, I felt like I would end up having to fight in the hospital room.
She shook her head from side to side.
Ara had a very regretful expression.
“I’ll be discharged later and do it at home.”
“…Okay.”
Anyway, I was hospitalized due to an accident and there were no injuries.
I will be home from work in two days.
After that, enjoy it slowly at home.
It’s good for me and Ara.
Ara took her mask and hat and disguised herself.
In places like hospitals, it is best to wear a disguise to prevent unnecessary confusion.
It seems like it is good for everyone.
“Then… Is your sister going?”
“Set the alarm and sleep~”
Maybe it’s because I nagged until the end.
Ara stuck out her tongue and she made a ‘melong’ sound at me.
Because she was so cute
She smiled brightly.
Ara leaves the hospital room and her door closes.
In the hospital room, the only sound I make is my breathing.
It sounded quiet.
The number of IVs has decreased significantly before I know it.
I pressed Nurse Call because it was time to change.
I guess I’ll have to ask for it to be recharged soon.
The analogy is a bit funny.
Charging….
“Ah…!”
Come to think of it, I forgot to ask Ara to bring a cell phone charger!
I’m too shameless to ask you to bring it now…
Or should I go to the convenience store and buy it?
However, there are still many things left to be explained or inspected.
Is it okay to go down to the convenience store without saying anything…?
It can’t be done…
If I had known this would happen, I would have bought it in advance…
I looked at the ground and lowered my head.
I felt so bad that when I thought about one thing, I forgot another.
