My High School Teacher || Woo Do Hwan

chapter 8

Words. Words have the potential to cause harm. Words and deeds both have the ability to traumatize you. Why, why are you here? I am now living in peace. Why did you return? Why don't you simply leave me alone for a while? Please don't stare at me. Stop behaving as if you're concerned. Stop smiling, pretending, and everything else. You're only going to hurt me and wreck my life once more.

Tears rolled down my cheeks...

"Do Hwan!" A worried voice could be heard. She walked up to me and hugged me firmly. She reassured me. She gave me a warm and gentle embrace.

"its okay, i'm here. Don't cry" Her remarks are making me cry even harder. I'm embarrassed that I cried in front of someone who believed I was strong. At this point, all I want is her. I want her to console me, to be by my side, and to not abandon me.

"Ma'am, I believe you should leave; the patient is gravely injured; I hope you would simply leave him alone," Mina remarked sweetly to the woman in front of us. The woman frowned before nodding and walking away from us. I don't want to see her anymore and would appreciate it if she would just leave me alone.

My knees were weak, and I couldn't stand up. Mina attempted to assist me, but it was futile. My wounded ribs begin to ache, and I yelp in pain this time. Help.

"this is stupid. Stay here" she left to ask some help.

Mina's pov

I became uneasy when I realized my back was resting on something soft and comforting. I'm on the floor, how come its soft? This seemed strange.

As I realized I was in a hospital bed, I let out a gasp. I checked my eyes several times to be sure it wasn't a dream, but it wasn't. When I get out of bed, the first thing that comes to mind is Do Hwan. I'm not sure where he is.

I rushed out of the room and asked the nurses if they had seen the patient in room 206, only to receive a shrug in answer. As I became more anxious, my heart began to beat faster. My fingertips began to feel chilly, and I shivered in terror.

He's injured. What if something bad might happened to him?

My legs pulled me somewhere I couldn't tell where . I searched various areas of the hospital but was unable to locate him. My legs began to feel weak, but I didn't give up. My instincts led me to the coffee shop where doctors and nurses generally go for a break, and there, to my surprise, I discovered him. I noticed him sitting on the floor, terrified, with a spilt cup of coffee all over the floor. He was in tears...

I dashed over to him and hugged him tightly without hesitation. I'm aware that he requires my assistance. I could tell by his eyes that he needed someone to console him and reassure him that everything would be fine, so I did.

"its okay, i'm here. Don't cry" I tried to console him. I... I've been in his shoes before, but no one was there to console me or tell me it was all right. Do Hwan must not have gone through what I went through years ago.

Do Hwan was escorted to his room by nurses because I was unable to assist him on my own. I'm perplexed by something in him. He's such a strong and badass character, however he appeared to be terrified of the woman earlier. It was all in his eyes. Eyes, on the other hand, cannot lie like a mouth can. He, too, is a human, and I'm guessing he has a grudge against that goddess-like woman. I can't just pass judgment because I don't know anything about Do Hwan and that woman.

"You need to take care of the patient. He must rest for now, don't let him walk unless it is absolutely necessary" said the doctor. This bitch- why did you even go out for a coffee in the middle of the night, you are so much a handful.

Before he went, I bowed nicely to the doctor. I looked at my phone and saw that it was 2:51 a.m.?! Oh my goodness, I still have school in a few hours! Do Hwan, you're such a thorn in my side. Why did I even get involved in this situation? I'm beginning to regret it. Quite a bit.

It's nice to be able to aid someone who is in need. But, isn't it a bit excessive if you'd rather risk your life for that one person? Helping him change out of his hospital gown after it became saturated from the spilled coffee was tough since he kept scolding me for accidently striking his damaged ribs, even though I didn't. And seeing him half-naked was perhaps the most embarrassing thing that had ever happened to me.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't pay attention when he was obtaining change; it was probably just a coincidence. As I was rinsing my arms and legs after assisting him, my body became sticky as the coffee touched my skin, so I went to the bathroom and washed myself. As I was rinsing my arms and legs, I noticed Do Hwan half naked.

He requested me to assist him, and I gladly accepted. I didn't actually help him because he was topless; I merely helped him because I was in a terrible mood and the fact that he was hurt made me feel compelled to aid him. It's made much more difficult by the fact that I'm helping him change his clothes while barely seeing anything. I can't seem to focus on him, or rather his naked physique. And, obviously! I did not assist him in changing into his underwear, and I will never do so.

Whatever, what i did for him was just a piece of cake. Watching over an injured patient was pretty basic, right? Yeah, i guess it was very easy-

"yah, i feel like i wanna puke"

"and?"

He arched an eyebrow, pointing at his injured ribs. I shook my head off as a response of 'no'. Why would i help him throw up? Vomit is disgusting and it smells bad. What do i expect it to smell?

He waved his right arm at me, telling me to come closer, which I did. He requested that I get a plastic bag for him to puke in because the doctor advised him to take it easy owing to his injured ribs. I heard a sound you make immediately before you puke before I could turn around and get a plastic bag. There was vomit all over the place and over the back of my shirt as I turned around!

No! Not the back of my shirt!

"yaaah!" i screamed on the top of my lungs. I take it back for saying that watching over a patient is basic. I guess its not.

"i hate the taste of black coffee" he stated calmly, wiping the corner of his mouth with tissue paper, only to be met with a look from me. He would have decomposed by now if my eyes could kill. Woo do Hwan, you're a rotting carcass.

"yah, if you weren't injured, i will seriously beat you to death" i glared at him which makes him feel uneasy. He gave me his sheepishly smile before pursing his lips.

What a day of watching over him. Oh gosh, i can't imagine the other more days of watching over him would be.
