Saranghaeyo, Noona!

Chapter 20

[Sam's POV]
Argh! Why is it that this stupid headache won't go away? And these blisters... Eew! I feel sick looking at myself. Today is the 2nd day of me having chicken pox. And I feel really sick. Aside from having a slight fever, I also have this terrible headache that's been bugging me all day. And to top it all, I can't eat because it seems like there are sores inside my throat too. They're everywhere, on my face, my whole body, inside my ears and nose, even inside my mouth. Looking at my appearance, I feel dizzy. So I just lie down on my bed and sleep.

I was awakened by the continues buzzing sound. What is that? Then I heard loud knocking on the door, more like banging. I forced myself to stand from my bed. My body hurts. Ouch! Pain strikes from my foot as I stand up. I looked under it and saw that there's also a blister under my right foot. So I just tiptoed towards the door, trying not to put too much weight on the foot with the blister.

Still groggy, I just opened the door without looking at the peephole first. Because the banging on the door just adds to my headache. And I just want it to stop.

"Sam... What happened to you?" I saw a worried Mark

"Great! Just great! Now I'm having hallucination too. Well, thanks, at least I can see Mark." Gently, I stroke his face with my fingers. "I badly miss you, pabo!" Then my sight went black. I fainted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I slowly opened my eyes, then blinked, why is it so dark?  I searched the side table with my hands for the switch of the lampshade. 

When the light turned on, I was startled to see someone sitting on the chair beside my bed.  "Ahhhhh!!!!!" I screamed

Then the man screamed too.  "Ahhhhh!!!"  I know that voice!

I looked at him and realized that it's Mark

"Mark?" I asked

"Yes"  he answered

"What are you doing here? How did you get in?" I asked again

"You let me in.  Don't you remember?" He replied

"Huh? When?" I asked, confused.

"Three hours ago.  You fainted.  Luckily, I caught you just in time."

"I fainted? Then how did I get back here on my bed?

"I carried you."

My eyes rounded.  I remembered.... I'm only wearing an oversize long sleeves shirt that reaches half of my legs. 

I immediately covered my head with the blanket in embarrassment. 

"Mark, thanks but you shouldn't be here." I said while still inside the blanket

"Why?"

"Because I'm contagious.  I have chickenpox.  You might get infected too."

"No, I will not.  I already had chickenpox when I was young.  So it's okay."

"It's not okay. You can still get shingles."

"We got vaccines from jyp. So, I'm completely safe."

"Still... You really shouldn't be here."
