Healer 2.0 || Winrina

exposed

That night, Winter decided to bring Karina to her house since her house was much closer to Han River, also the fact that both of them were shivering in cold was kind of worrisome.

When they arrived home, Winter asked Karina to shower first in case Karina had a fever. Winter doesn't know why but after Karina's confession, Winter cannot hide how much she cares and prioritizes Karina in her daily life.

"But, you were shivering, Winter", the older said.

"No, I'm fine. You can go first" - Winter

Karina doesn't have much choice. She admitted she herself was shivering in the cold right now. Somehow looks kind of selfish herself, Karina goes ahead and takes the shower first.

12 pm at midnight, Karina could not sleep when she remembered what just happened to her. Today might be the best day in her entire life. Sometimes Karina smiled like an idiot, sometimes kicking her feet in the air, sometimes wiggling her hand like an octopus. Then later she heard...

Achoo!!

"Winter?", Karina heard that loud sneezing sound coming from Winter's room. Worried that Winter might get a fever for real, Karina worriedly walked until she was standing right in front of Winter's room. Then she knocked on the door slightly.

Knock knock

"Winter, are you alright?", Karina asked from outside. Moments later, Winter opened the door and looked at Karina with her sleepy eyes.

"I'm fine, Rina. Thanks for asking", Winter replied, but her words didn't assure Karina enough.

"No. You don't seem so. Your nose was red, also...", Karina put her palm on Winter's forehead and Karina was right. Winter really had a fever.

"You are sick!", Karina said.

"It's okay. I took some medicine earlier so it's gonna be better soon...", Winter answered.

"Let's not go to campus tomorrow", Karina said while smiling at Winter.

"No. You should go. Just leave me at home alone", Winter answered.

"No-no-no. Don't you remember? You are my body-- I mean, you are the healer! If you are not around, then who's gonna protect me?", Karina explained, trying to make her words as reasonable as possible to make her stay with the younger, or not guilt will wash over her later.

"How much more you need to skip classes... for me...", Winter said.

"Anything related to you is my priority now. No need to worry about it, and if I didn't graduate from university, I still can live tho", Karina said confidently.

"Geez. Rich people. Fine...", Winter said and entered her room again, while Karina followed Winter right behind until Winter lay herself on the bed again. Slowly, Karina shrugged herself to lie right next to Winter. Winter didn't even protest. She just let what Karina wanted to do. Winter really didn't care anymore.

"Uh... what are you doing?", Winter asked with her sleepy expression. Karina who was just beside her lifted her eyebrows up in confusion.

"Sleeping with you? Isn't that obvious enough?", Karina said, somehow asking Winter for her permission. Winter just sighed slightly, even tho her heart was beating like crazy when Karina was right beside her on the bed. But Winter tried to act cool as always.

Winter just kept her silence without answering Karina's question or making any noises. Instead, she turned her body around, trying not to face Karina for the moment. Hope she can sleep peacefully tonight.
