Jimin hadn't felt alright those past days, so she just decided to do a blood test a few days before. She had been getting nauseous lately, she even vomited several times; but, following her knowledge, she just believed it was a lack of iron in her blood. Besides, her final exams were the next week and that put a lot of pressure on her shoulders, as it would be expected from a Zoology college student.

She approached the reception of the laboratory of the hospital, clutching on the strap of her tote bag. The receptionist who was working on her own computer soon turned to the black haired girl, smiling attently.

"Yes?"

"Blood test results," Jimin said, in the best German she could speak.

"Your name?"

"Yu Jimin."

The lady checked on the computer for the information Jimin had told her. She read something and her lips curved upwards again, and she leaned down, opened a drawer full of divisions and envelopes and took one single envelope; her warm smile not leaving her lips for a single second as the envelope was held in the air, holding onto her hand.

"Congratulations."

Jimin frowned at the woman's remark; she was congratulating her for something, and, besides, she was smiling widely at her.

"Thanks?" Jimin said, smiling nervously and taking the envelope with her. She bid her farewells to the lady and turned around, frowning deeply.

Before exiting the floor, she opened the envelope and checked out the numbers written there.

"Glucose, normal...Iron..." She gasped softly, "God! What have I done to have such a low level of iron?" She checked the other results, " I'm going to have anemia if I keep like this...Wait, what is this?"

Jimin frowned at the last page. It was a full text written in German. Knowing she wouldn't be able to decipher the whole text, she didn't even bother to read it thoroughly; so she sighed deeply and folded the papers, knowing right away where she should go to.

"...Time to visit Ryujin."

"Hello Rina."

Jimin bowed lightly and stepped inside of the house where her friend lived with her parents. Taking her shoes off, she massaged her feet lightly, before she stopped inside of the house, her feet only covered with her socks; and followed Ryujin until they reached the couch. The blonde looked at her worriedly, noticing a change of aura.

"Jimin ah? Is there anything wrong with you?"

Jimin looked for something inside of her bag and took an envelope from it, opening it and finally extracted a piece of paper written in German.

"I'm really nauseous lately so I decided to do a blood test...from what I got to see I'm low in iron, so I have to watch out for that but... I don't really know what they wrote on this page besides my name. I was wondering if you could translate it for me?"

Ryujin smiled, "Of course you fool! Let me read," Ryujin breathed in deeply, taking the paper to her hands and sitting down on the couch, silently inviting her friend to sit down on it as well.

However, her eyes widened considerably after she read some words and her lips parted in absolute shock.

"What's wrong?" Jimin asked, panicking, when she saw Ryujin looking nervous. She ran to her side, sitting next to her, "Ryujin...?"

Ryujin broke out a grin and looked excitedly at Jimin.

"Jimin, I really didn't want to know what you and Minjeong were up to when you two were alone but nevermind."
