‘what… … ?’

Seah Yoo was blank for a while.

I have a memory of finding my mother unconsciously with a fever. After that, a cool hand came up on my forehead, and maybe thanks to that, I finally came to my senses after feeling a lot more comfortable… … .

Why is Kang Tae-han’s face right in front of me?

Whether it was because I was still in a daze, or because I thought it was impossible, I couldn’t understand it even after thinking about it over and over again.

‘Or is it a dream?’

Because she repeatedly fell asleep and woke up sick for several hours, the boundaries were quite ambiguous.

In the end, her conclusions slowly veered to one side.

Kang Tae-han, whom he had longed to see, was sitting right next to his bed and nursing him while smiling.

Is this a situation that can actually happen, or is it a dream scene created by one’s wishes? If you ask which one is more likely… It is inevitable that thoughts will lean towards the latter.

‘Yes, it must be a dream.’

Still a little hazy, she concluded and nodded lightly.

Due to a tight schedule for a while, I couldn’t meet Kang Tae-han even though I wanted to. Then suddenly I got sick and couldn’t even go to my camping appointment.

Hey, isn’t it worth coming out of a dream like this? However, it seemed that he missed Kang Tae-han seeing his dream so vivid.

“However, whatever… … .”

Yoo Se-ah stretched out her hand with a smile on her face.

“Looking at it like this… That’s great.”

The outstretched hand soon touched Kang Tae-han’s cheek.

Soon, a warm energy passed through her hand.

It was a vivid sensation, as if you were actually touching it.

‘… Are you clear?’

However, before long, reason began to raise its head.

The touch of his cheek in his hand was too vivid to think it was just a dream.

If I had kept my head dizzy, I might have passed it without much thought, but… Now she was in relatively good condition.

Yoo Se-ah stretched out her other hand to confirm and touched Kang Tae-han’s cheeks with both hands… Thanks to this, we were able to draw more definite conclusions.

this is not a dream

“… … .”

As I gradually came back to my senses and grasped the reality, the hazy feeling like fog disappeared in an instant. And instead, embarrassing memories began to emerge little by little.

‘I think I called her Mom… … ?’

Her face starts to heat up in an instant.

Yoo Se-ah removed the hand that had been touching her cheek a moment ago and just stood there with her mouth open as if she didn’t know what to do.

“I like it too.”

Then Kang Tae-han wrapped her right hand around her, smiled and said in a low voice.

“It’s been a while since I can see Se-ah’s face.”

“… Me too.”

Two deep-set eyes looking at you from the front.

It was nice to see that face to face, but… Feeling embarrassed for nothing, Yoo Se-ah turned her gaze slightly to the side and answered in a shy voice.

‘Why is reality sweeter than dreams… … .’

At this point, isn’t it lethal?

Even if Kang Tae-han appeared in my dream, I thought that I would not have been able to draw this situation.

Yoo Se-ah placed her other hand on her left chest as if to hide her beating heart, and turned her head to the side as if to hide her feverish cheek. I didn’t have a fever because of my illness.

* * *

“Hmm, hmm.”

After some time passed, it was around the time I calmed down.

After checking the condition of her hair and the fit of her pajamas with a hand mirror, Yoo Se-ah let out a small cough.

“Are you done?”

“Yes, Thanks.”

Yoo Se-ah answered while placing the hand mirror on the shelf above the bed. It is a woman’s heart that she wants to show only her good side to her lover. It’s the same on the hospital bed.

Of course, I can’t do make-up here, but… At least, it is possible to check whether the person himself is not looking bad or not, and whether he is looking like a person.

“I-I haven’t been acting strangely have I?”

“Yes, he seems to be sleeping peacefully.”

To Yoo Se-ah’s words, Kang Tae-han replied in a calm voice.

Even if she was sleeping in a strange way, Kang Tae-han would never see it. Before he came in, her mother, Han Joo-ah, checked first.

A wonderful mother’s assistant who knows how to understand her daughter’s heart. It was Han Joo-ah’s secret that she was frowning and biting her hair in a disheveled appearance.

“Then I’m glad.”

Yoo Se-ah sighed softly and answered in a small voice. I had already confirmed that there was nothing wrong with my hand mirror, but I was still anxious inside.

“by the way… How did you come?”

And only then did Yoo Se-ah carefully put into her mouth the question she had had about the unrealistic situation Kang Tae-han was taking care of her.

“You said Se-ah was sick.”

To her, Kang Tae-han replied in a voice that seemed to say it was natural.

“Isn’t it the human heart to be worried when you are sick, and to want to visit you when you are worried? I think Se-ah would have done the same if I had said I was sick.”

“… That would be it.”

To Kang Tae-han’s smile, Yoo Se-ah answered with a shy expression.

“Then, next time Tae-han is sick, let me visit him too! I want to go!”

“Please. Do you know the address?”

“Yes, then do you always call me when you are sick?”

Kang Tae-han nodded at Bochae’s words.

Of course, unless it’s a dire situation, she probably won’t go through a small illness, and she probably won’t even come to visit her in the hospital… It wasn’t a lie though.

Then again, did some time pass?

“… Sorry about the camping.”

Yoo Se-ah put the apology in her mouth.

It was an apology for unilaterally canceling today’s camping appointment.

“What do you mean you can’t go because you’re sick?”

“still… … .”

Yoo Se-ah wiggled her fingers with an expression of deep regret. She apologized not only because she felt sorry for Kang Tae-han, but also because she felt sorry for herself.

“It’s camping, you can go again next time. It’s not like we’ll meet for a day or two.”

As if understanding his feelings, Kang Tae-han smiled and poured a cup of tea from the teapot that was placed on the desk next to him.

“Rather than that, get up and have a drink.”

“… What is it?”

“Ginger tea.”

By looking at the symptoms, she was suffering from a cold and aching. At that time, warm ginger tea is effective immediately. Hana Yoo Se-ah’s expression was not very bright. It was because I didn’t like the taste of ginger tea that much.

“Ginger tea… … .”

“Do you hate it?”

“… No, it’s fine.”

But how can you ignore sincerity?

Yoo Se-ah slowly raised her upper body, carefully accepted the teacup Kang Tae-han handed to her, and took a sip.

“… what?”

Even before I tasted it, I felt a sense of rejection to the point where my face was strained. However, the taste and aroma that spreads in the mouth is not as bad as I thought.

Have your tastes changed in those few months? She put on a questioning look, then took another sip and began to taste it.

“Is it more delicious than I thought?”

“I made it with Se-ah in mind.”

It was not entirely wrong to say that he went through the process of adjusting his energy to suit Yoo Se-ah’s constitution.

“… You look slick today.”

It just sounds a little different to the listener. Yoo Se-ah shook her head at that cliché, but her lips twitched as if she didn’t hate it.

“Are you done?”

“Yes, maybe because it contains Taehan’s heart, it tasted even better.”

A comment of conversion that came to my mind while drinking ginger tea.

However, Yoo Se-ah felt regret at the sight of Kang Tae-han taking the cup with a calm expression.

“then… Would you like to turn your back for a second?”

“Your back?”

“Yes, towards me. Let me look at you for a second.”

Meanwhile, Kang Tae-han was thinking about getting to the point. When Yoo Se-ah turned her back with a puzzled expression… Kang Tae-han grabbed her right shoulder with his left hand and gently placed his right hand on her back.

‘uh… … ?’

Yoo Se-ah feels a momentary sense of incongruity.

Kang Tae-han’s hands did not have any particular strength. But for some reason, I felt as if my body was firmly fixed and supported, as if I was wearing a safety device on a playground equipment.

‘I knew you were a masseuse… … .’

Did you say that a craftsman’s skill can be known with just one move?

She also guessed that Kang Tae-han’s skills would be excellent because she had heard and seen them. However, even so, this feeling was far outside the scope she was thinking of.

“Um… It hasn’t rained in a week.”

Meanwhile, Kang Tae-han, who was checking her condition, opened his mouth alludingly. As soon as I opened my heart, there was something I felt.

“Maybe there was a scene where you fell into water or got wet in the rain?”

“yes? Ah yes… There was one scene.”

This was filmed two days ago.

A scene from the beginning of the film in which the female lead suffers from a broken heart. Yoo Se-ah nodded slowly.

“I don’t think it was once or twice.”

“That’s because I didn’t like the acting and had to reshoot a few times.”

“Who did you not like?”

“… Me.”

Kang Tae-han made a displeased voice, but Yoo Se-ah quietly confessed the truth. Then Kang Tae-han smiled with a bitter expression.

“Then when you get sick, things change.”

“Yes… I will be careful.”

Yoo Se-ah answered calmly. Then, as if she had suddenly remembered, she opened her mouth slowly.

“But how do you know all that?”

“Seah writes it down here.”

Kang Tae-han removed his hands and pointed to a spot on Yoo Se-ah’s back. It was one of the main blood points that can be called the center of energy circulation in the body.

“A person who walks around in the rain.”

Of course, looking there doesn’t mean you can see all of that person’s past, but you can see a drastic change in just a few days. For example, starting a game or being wet with cold wind for a long time.

“It shows in some way… How is it?”

Yoo Se-ah had doubts about Kang Tae-han’s words for a moment.

However, her consideration did not last very long. Kang Tae-han’s hands landed on his shoulders, and he immediately began to apply acupressure.

‘The direct cause was the rain and the cold wind… … .’

A more fundamental cause lies in the fatigue accumulated in the body.

Even if the body’s immunity is second, it was purely because of that that I had a cold and body aches in a chain.

‘… But that’s how hard he worked.’

I might be able to give you some support.

Kang Tae-han started loosening up the tight muscles in his back, calves, and wrists, starting with his shoulders, in order.

“Keuheuuugh!”

Apparently, at first, she was only raising her upper body and turning her back, but when she came to her senses, she was lying on her bed and receiving a massage.

It’s natural.

Tight muscles are sensitive. Thanks to that, the coolness is great, but it also adds to the pain. Because of this, Yoo Se-ah’s voice conveyed the pain intact, but Kang Tae-han’s hand did not stop.

‘… No, even though I vacated the seat.’

Meanwhile, Joo-ah Han was watching TV in the living room.

‘What are you doing with the door wide open… … ?’

Her misunderstanding was only cleared up after looking at the two of them for a long time through the wide open door.

* * *

The next day, a house in Dong-gu, Daejeon.

“… … .”

It was still early in the morning, close to dawn, but Kang Ho-yeon stood up and scratched her head a couple of times.

“It’s morning.”

There was no need for an alarm.

It was because waking up at this hour and going to the store was already taking place in his body as a matter of course.

Even on Wednesday, when the store was closed due to his son’s torch, he would have woken up at this time for a while. At least, it was desirable to get up slowly, even on Wednesdays.

“Keuheu!”

Kang Ho-yeon yawns after stretching lightly.

In the meantime, the list of things to do today comes to mind. Since this is also something I have been repeating for half my life, I naturally repeat it in my head even without being conscious of it.

A repeating morning that has continued like every day.

But there is a clear difference from before.

Before, if I had to start the morning with a heavy body like trying to start an old car, now I’m full of motivation and I feel refreshed every morning.

‘… Is it all thanks to Taehan?’

If you think about where the divergence point is.

It was when my son suddenly came down to the house and rubbed my shoulder. Kang Ho-yeon put a smile on her lips at the thought.

“… Well?”

However, a rattling sound was heard outside.

I paid close attention… The direction is coming from the kitchen. Kang Ho-yeon scratched his side, opened the door and went out.

“Oh, are you awake?”

“… Why do you always cook when you come in the morning?”

Kang Ho-yeon said a word to Kang Tae-han, who was holding a ladle. It overlapped with the appearance of boiling rice from the morning last time.

“I am cooking because I come to prepare breakfast. And, isn’t today a worthy day?”

Kang Tae-han replied with a smile.

Kang Ho-yeon stood there blankly for a while… With an embarrassed expression on her lips, she sat down at the table.

“… Thank you, Taehan.”

“What.”

The smell that has been wafting up for a while is seaweed soup.
