66: Sick
A month later, everything was going smoothly in the Oh household. Except for part where you had become sick. So sick. "Are you throwing up again, Gi-ae?" Sangwoo pulled you close to him as he came home from work.
You nodded, and Sangwoo looked over at Bum. Bum was also worried about you. All day it was like this. Vomit, eat, sleep, repeat. It was so concerning for all involved.
"Damn. That's it, it's been a week like this and you're not getting any better. You're getting thin and I don't like it. We're going to go to the doctor tomorrow. Come bathe with me." Sangwoo almost wanted to say he was scared. But he couldn't do it. Not here. Not in front of Bum. "Bum, can you make some dinner? What do you want, love?"
You mumbled into his chest. "Nothing..."
"No, babe, you've got to eat something. I'm serious. You look like you're going to pass out." You stayed silent. There was no way that you'd keep it down. "You know what? Fuck it, we'll go to the ER. I don't want to wake up tomorrow and find out that you've faded away on me. Bum, do you want to come or just watch the house?"
"I-I will just watch the house. Hospitals make me queasy... I hope you are alright, Gi-ae..." He was trying to be nice to you. After that night in the cabin, you two had worked out more of a truce. And he didn't like cleaning up vomit, either.
Sangwoo was getting really anxious. He sat you down on the stairs and went up to change out of his clothes quickly and grab his insurance card. He had claimed you as a dependent, since you made no money, therefore he wouldn't have to worry about whether the hospital would accept you or not. "You really don't look good, Gi-ae. Would you like some water?" He asked you quietly.
You nodded gently, trying not to make yourself sick. Bum hurried and got you a small glass of water as Sangwoo walked down the stairs. "You ready, babe? Oh, thanks Bum. Drink it, Gi-ae. Little sips." Sangwoo sat next to you and began rubbing your back gently. This was frightening for him. He wanted to get you to a hospital as soon as possible. "Come on, let's go. I'd like to get there before the after work rush."
You nodded and held out your glass to him. Sangwoo took it and handed it off to Bum, who took it very cautiously. He didn't want to catch anything that you might have. Sangwoo shook his head at this and stood up, offering you his hand. Graciously, you tried to get up slowly to avoid the awful vertigo. Clenching Sangwoo's hand tightly, you followed him out to the car, stumbling occasionally. "Babe, you really have me worried. I'm... scared. I'm scared about you." He turned to look at you as he opened the car door for you.
"I'll be oka--" You paused and leaned against the car door, trying not to lose the water in your stomach.
"Oh, God. Let's go." Sangwoo hurried you into the car, took his own seat and took off.
