"Open your mouth and say ahh."
I obediently open my mouth.
It's really nothing new to me.
"Hmm, his throat looks a little dry, which isn't surprising, under his circumstances."
Nurse Kim writes that down on his clipboard.
"I'm going to listen to your heart now, yeah?"
Nurse Kim puts his things down and gently pulls my top up to reveal my torso.
Jin puts his stethescope on, before gently placing the bell of it on my chest.
He listens for a minute, before he tells me to take a deep breath.
He turns to the nurse with a ashen face.
"Lungs sound weak."
Nurse Kim grimices before writing that down as well.
"Lie down for me darling."
I shuffle into a lying position, and he pulls my top up, pressing down on my belly.
He looks at Nurse Kim before looking at me suspiciously.
"Your stomach still feels like before. Are you even drinking anything?"
I shake my head slightly. No point lying to him when he knows the answer.
He just gives me a sad look before proceeding on with the exam.
"One last thing Beomgyu. Can you walk to the other side of the room? I'll be here to catch you if you fall."
I obediently get up, and start slowly walking to the opposite wall.
I manage to touch it, but when I turn around to come back, my legs give out.
I fall forward but Jin catches me, exactly as promised.
"You okay?"
I nod.
Him and Nurse Kim gently assist me back to the bed, and I slowly lower myself back down.
He looks a Nurse Kim.
"Go and get the stuff."
He looks up my nose with a nasoscope.
"Blow you nose for me sweetie."
He hands me a couple of tissues, and I obediently follow his command.
Nurse Kim comes back with a tray, which has an array of things on it but also a feeding tube.
I know what it is, as Jin had shown me how it works, when I started to show signs that I might need one.
He adjusts the bed into a lying position with the head elevated.
"Open."
I open my mouth and he sprays something bitter tasting down my throat.
He starts pulling his gloves on.
"Lay back down for me."
I lie back down on the bed, waiting for what's to come.
He takes the tube out of its sterile packaging, and applies some lubricant to it.
He turns to me.
Nurse Kim come over and hold my head, so I don't wiggle around.
"Ready?"
I don't speak.
He sighs before proceeding to gently start inserting the tube up my nose.
I close my eyes as I feel the tube smoothly moving down my throat, and making its way into my stomach.
"Move your head a bit to the left."
"Now the right."
"Bend your head."
And then I feel it in my stomach.
Nurse Kim gets an empty syringe and attaches it to the tube opening.
Dr. Kim puts his stetescope back on and puts the bell of it on my tummy and looks at the nurse.
Nurse Kim pushes the plunger down.
Jin whips his stethescope off.
"That's good. Tape."
The nurse hands him a tape patch and Seokjin proceeds to tape the tube to the side of my face.
He straightens up, and regards me warily.
"Now we'll see how you'll avoid food."
Food.
One of my biggest enemies...
