Chapter 20

Maybe Tomorrow

Symptoms:

Sungah awoke the same way she fell asleep; in Ryeowook's arms. He was still sleeping. She gave a small smile at his cute sleeping form. He looked so peaceful. She wondered what he dreamt about. Her? Food? Performing?

"I know you've been waiting a long time, Ryeowookie." Sungah lifted herself up, looking at him sleeping like a baby. "It's only fair I give you this in return."

Sungah leaned in and gave him a quick kiss on his lips. He didn't move a muscle.

"I've been so nervous around you lately." Sungah continued, "I hate what you do to me."

Ryeowook sure was a heavy sleeper. She gently peeled his arms away from her, afraid of waking him.

"I wish you were awake to cook for me." Sungah smiled sweetly. She kissed his lips again. He must be really tired, he still didn't move.

"You dummy. You're not dead are you?" Sungah pouted, poking his arm. "Ryeowookie."

She poked his cheek, which finally made him move. He groaned and turned over, burying his face into the pillow.

"Fine, smother yourself." Sungah pouted, playfully hitting his butt as she got out of bed, making him groan again.

As she entered the (silent) kitchen (no one awake yet?), she realized she was craving pork, at 9:00 in the morning? Okay then. But just the thought of smelling cooking meat, made her feel sick. That smell. She felt so sick in fact, she found herself sprinting to the bathroom to throw up. The worst part was, there wasn't much in her stomach, making it emptier than it already was. So this was going to be the start of her day?

"Sungah?" Sungah heard Ryeowook call from the hallway, sounding like he was still half asleep.

She immediately flushed the toilet, closing the lid and sat on it, trying to act perfectly fine, even though she felt far from it. Ryeowook, rubbing his eyes, stepped into the bathroom, seeing Sungah looking rather pale. Paler than usual.

"Sungah, are you okay?" Ryeowook knew he heard her vomiting. Her sitting there acting innocent wasn't going to work. "Are you sick?"

"No, I'm fine." Sungah lied, standing up. The quick movement made her nauseous again, which had her turning around, face back in the toilet. "Okay, maybe not."

Ryeowook knelt down beside her and gently patted and rubbed her back, soothing her.

"Being sick isn't something to try lying about, honey." Ryeowook waited for her to finish before he picked her up and brought her back to bed. "And you call me a dummy?"

Ryeowook tucked her in and patted her head cutely.

"I'll get you water." Ryeowook rushed to the kitchen and back. "You need to stay hydrated."

"What would I do without you?" Sungah giggled, taking the glass of water, gulping it down.

"You'd be suffering all by yourself, not knowing what to do." Ryeowook laughed, crawling back into bed with her. "I won't be here for most of the day to take care of you though. I'm going to be very busy. So you'll be by yourself anyway."

"Ryeowookie? Can you let me go? Just for a moment?" Sungah asked.

"Why?"

"I have to pee." Sungah laughed, getting up. "Really bad, too."

Sungah ran to the bathroom, happy that the nausea was calming down. Only to have her bladder feel like it was the size of a grape. Perfect.

"On my way out, do you want me to take you to the hospital or something? Get you medicine?" Ryeowook called out.
