London - Part 3

 

“COUGH! COUGH!”

 

“Daddy, are you okay?,” Hani looked at her father worriedly.

 

“Daddy okay, sweetie. Don’t worry,” Yuri said as he smiled faintly. They were still lying on the bed when Hani was startled with Yuri’s cough. He felt his whole body was aching, and his throat felt like burning. The little girl put her hand on Yuri’s forehead, and she quickly drew her tiny hand when she felt his father’s forehead a bit warm.

 

“Daddy is sick. Can Hani call Yoona imo and ask her to buy medicine for daddy?,” Hani asked. Yuri weakly shook his head.

 

“It’s okay, Hani ah. Daddy can’t join you for today’s activities. Daddy will call Yoona imo and ask her to go with you, okay?,” he replied.

 

“Dae, daddy,” Hani said. Yuri then took the handy and dialled Yoona’s room number. After few ringings the latter then picked up the call.

 

“Hello?,” Yoona answered.

 

“Hey, it’s me Yuri,” he said with his little hoarse voice.

 

“Ya, Kwon Yuri. What happen with your voice?,” she asked.

 

“I just having a cough. Can you take Hani to go out with you today? I think I can’t join you,” he replied.

 

“Are you okay?,” she asked in worried tone.

 

“I’m okay. I just need some rest, and I will be fine. Don’t worry,” he replied.

 

“Arasso. I will buy you some medicine when we are going out later. I will go with Hani for breakfast. Do you want me to call the room service for you?,” she asked.

 

“It’s okay, Yoona. I will do it myself. Thank you for looking after my daughter,” he said.

 

“No problem. We will be back before dinner time,” she replied.

 

“Okay. I will ask Hani to be ready,” he said as he hung up the call and coughing.

 

“Daddy want Hani to stay?,” Hani asked. Yuri just shook his head.

 

“It’s okay, baby. Just go and have fun with Yoona imo,” he replied. “Hani ya, go and wash up now. Yoona imo will take you out for breakfast, and then touring around London after this,” Yuri said.

 

“Dae,” Hani obediently said as she hop off from the bed, and heading straight towards the bathroom.

“You look worse,” Yoona said right after she saw Yuri was standing on the doorstep with Hani.

 

“Am I? I thought I still look handsome,” he playfully said. Yoona just rolled her eyes annoyingly, while Hani giggled on her father’s words.

 

“Your daddy is so full of himself, Hani ya. Go and look at yourself in the mirror. You looked like zombie,” she replied, causing little Hani laughing on her words.

 

“Daddy and imo are funny,” she said. Yuri and Yoona couldn’t help but to chuckle with her words.

 

“Let’s go, Hani ya. We are going to be late for breakfast,” Yoona said to the little girl.

 

“Alright. Have fun, baby,” Yuri hugged his daughter and kiss on her cheek. Hani squirmed in his arms as she felt her father’s body was too hot.

 

“Daddy is hot,” Hani said. Yuri chuckled on his words.

 

“I’m always hot, sweetie,” he playfully said. Yoona looked at him rather worried. His face was pale and dark circles obviously visible around his eyes.

 

“Ya, Kwon Yuri. Come here!,” she said while putting her back hand on his forehead. She quickly pulled her hand back as she felt his forehead was too hot.

 

“Hani ya. We have to cancel our touring today. Your daddy is not feeling well. Imo need to bring him to the hospital,” she said.

 

“Daddy need to go to the hospital?,” Hani asked.

 

“Yes, sweetie. Your daddy need to be examine by the doctor there, and get a shot,” she replied.

 

“It’s okay, Yoona. Just buy me some medicine and I will be fine,” Yuri said.

 

“Don’t be too stubborn, Kwon Yuri. Who knows you might got any infections or something. I just want to make sure that your condition is okay,” she replied sternly. Yuri didn’t have any choice but to follow on her suggestion. He himself felt so weak, and he kept on coughing since early this morning.

 

“Arasso. Wait here. I need to change my clothes,” he said as went inside the room and closed the door.

“This is the first time I fell sick in abroad,” Yuri mumbles. He was sitting at the backseat of the car while wearing a thick coat. He felt cold suddenly, and it worries Yoona.

 

“I used to fall sick often when I first came to Italy. All that I could think at those times were my late mother and my father. I cried alone whenever I think of them,” she replied.

 

“H-how did you cope with that kind of situation?,” he asked in curious.

 

“Gladly that I have a roommate who was so kind-hearted. She was the one who brought me to the hospital and cooked meals for me whenever I fall sick,” Yoona replied.

 

“Chincha? You’re so lucky then,” he said, and coughing once a while.

 

“Just stop talking. Your condition will be worse then,” she replied.

 

“Ya, you’re the one who was talking to me just now,” he said. Yoona just rolled her eyes annoyingly as Yuri was acting childishly and likes to on argue over small things.

 

They safely arrived at the nearby hospital after about thirty minutes of driving. Yoona stopped the car near the hospital building entrance, and she asked Yuri and Hani to wait at the waiting area as she need to park the car at the parking lot.

 

“Hani ya, let’s sit there,” Yuri said while grabbing his daughter’s hand and the two walking hand in hand towards the waiting area. A few minutes later, they saw Yoona was walking towards them.

 

“You two wait here. I need to register your name first. Give me your ID card,” Yoona said. Yuri took his ID card from his wallet and handed it to Yoona. The latter then heading towards the registration counter.

 

“Good morning, ma’am. How can I help you?,” asked the staff.

 

“Good morning. I want to register ermm, m-my husband here. He’s having a fever and cough,” Yoona hesitantly said. She saw the poster at the hospital’s announcement board earlier, and they offered discount for family members for the first time registration.

 

“Ah, okay. Do you bring your husband’s ID card?,” the staff asked.

 

“Yeah. Here,” Yoona replied as she handed Yuri’s ID card to the staff.

 

“Please wait for a while ma’am,” the staff said.

 

“Okay, thanks,” she replied. The staff then started to key-in the information as she needs to register the new patient using online system. A moment later, she finished with the online registration.

 

“Alright, ma’am. Here’s the ID card,” the staff said as she returned back Yuri’s ID card to Yoona. “Here’s the queue number. You can wait at the waiting area over there,” the staff said while pointing at the waiting area where Yuri and Hani were sitting.

 

“Thank you,” Yoona thanked her as she took the piece of small paper which contains the queue number for the doctor’s appointment.

 

“You’re welcome, ma’am,” the staff replied. Yoona went back to the waiting area and sat next to Hani.

 

“Your ID card,” she said as she handed back to Yuri.

 

“Thanks,” Yuri thanked her. Yoona just smiled in return. She then caressed Hani’s hair and side hugging her.

 

“Imo, Hani is hungry,” the little girl said.

 

“You’re hungry?,” she asked. Hani nodded her head slowly. “Arasso. Let’s go to the cafe. We can buy sandwich and milk for you,” Yoona said as she got up from her seat. She took Hani’s hand and was about to start walking when Yuri suddenly called her.

 

“Yoona, here,” he said as he took out several Euro bills from his wallet.

 

“It’s okay. Just keep it. Kaja, Hani ya!,” she replied while entwined her hands with Hani and walking away from the waiting area.

 

“Aishh..,” Yuri grunted while putting the bills back into the wallet. He then leaned his back and slowly closed his eyes to get some rest.

 

“Yuri ah,” Yuri startled when he felt someone’s tapping on his shoulder. He opened his eyes and saw Yoona was standing next to him.

 

“Huh? It’s the time already?,” he asked. Yoona then took a seat next to him.

 

“Not yet. I want you to eat something before seeing the doctor,” she said while took out a water bottle and handed it to him. “Here, drink this first,” she said. Like an obedient small kid, Yuri took the water bottle and drink the water. He coughed a bit. Yoona patted on his back.

 

“T-thanks,” he thanked her. Yoona didn’t respond, instead she took out the sandwich and handed it to him. It’s just a plain egg sandwich since Yuri couldn’t eat solid food due to his sore throat.

 

“Here, eat this,” she ordered. Yuri just took the sandwich and obediently eat it.

 

“Daddy, is the sandwich delicious?,” Hani asked while munching her sandwich.

 

“Yes, baby. It’s delicious,” he replied as he smiled. Honestly, he couldn’t enjoy the sandwich because of his sore throat. He just ate it to fill his empty stomach. He slowly swallowed the food, but it made him coughing more. Yoona quickly handed the water bottle to him.

 

Not long after, Yuri’s turn has arrived as the queue number appeared on the LCD screen.

 

“Kaja,” Yoona said as she got up first. She patiently waiting for Yuri to get up from his seat. She took Hani’s hand and holding it while walking beside Yuri to the examine room.

 

“Good morning, doctor!,” Yoona greeted right after she opened the door.

 

“Good morning! Please have a seat,” the doctor said. They took their seat in front of the desk. Since the room only have two chairs, Yoona put Hani to sit on her lap.

 

“Mr. Kwon. It said here that you have a fever and cough. Can you please go and sit on the bed there so that I can examine you?,” the doctor said.

 

“Sure, doctor,” he replied as he got up from his seat, and walked towards the bed. The doctor then started to examine him, checking on his body temperature, measuring his heartbeat and checking on his throat condition.

 

“Hmm.. 39 degrees. That’s quite high. Did you play in the rain last night?,” the doctor playfully teasing him.

 

“No, doctor. We went for sightseeing of London city yesterday, and after the dinner, we were about to walk to the car when suddenly the rain was pouring down. And it seems like I was the one who was affected by it,” Yuri explained.

 

“Alright. I need to give you a shot. Girls, please stay there for a while, okay?. I need to give a shot to your Daddy Kwon,” the middle aged man said as he drew the curtain that separated the bed from the desk area.

 

“Daddy get a shot?,” Hani asked Yoona.

 

“Yes, sweetie. Daddy need to get a shot, so that he can heal faster,” she replied. A few moments later, the curtain being drew, and they could see Yuri was fixing his belt while furrowing his brows as he tried to enduring the pain of the shot.

 

“Alright, Mr. Kwon. You need to take a rest at least about three days. Don’t eat solid food for three days to avoid your throat from getting worse. Drink lots of plain water. Take your medicine on time. You can take the prescription at the drug counter,” the doctor said.

 

“Thank you, Sir,” Yuri thanked him.

 

“Thank you, doctor,” Yoona also thanked the doctor.

 

“You are welcome, Kwons. And who’s this little princess here?,” he asked while caressing Hani’s hair.

 

“Hello. I’m Jennifer Kwon Hani. I’m six years old,” she cheerfully greeted.

 

“She’s my daughter, Sir,” Yuri said. The middle aged man nodded understandingly.

 

“So, you and your family were here for vacation, right?,” he asked.

 

“Ermm.. y-yeah,” Yuri replied in hesitant.

 

“Alright, little princess. Take care of your daddy here, okay? He can’t play with you for three days, so you can play with your mommy here,” the doctor said while handed a lollipop candy to her. The little girl gladly took it. Yuri and Yoona looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.

 

“Thank you so much, doctor. Please excuse us,” Yoona bowed while holding Hani’s hand.

 

“You’re welcome,” the doctor replied. The trio immediately walked out of the room.

 

“Damn! Why the doctor said that in front of Hani,” Yuri thought. “Aishh..,” he let out his grunt suddenly. Yoona who heard on it just shook her head. She was glad Hani didn’t ask about it right after they went out of the room as she was too oblivious. She was busy enjoying her lollipop candy.

 

“It’s okay, Yuri. The doctor knows nothing. So, don’t blame the doctor and burden your mind with that issue. You’re sick, so you need to take care of your health,” Yoona said.

 

“I really don’t mind if she wants to call you mommy,” Yuri mumbles slowly. Yoona furrowed her brows as she couldn’t catch on what Yuri was mumbling at.

 

“What did you say?,” she asked.

 

“Nothing,” he replied with his poker face.

 

“Aishh.. This brat,” she grunted. Yuri just giggled silently while continue walking towards the drugs counter. After taking the prescription, he handed his credit card to Yoona to pay the bills. Yoona declined it at first, but Yuri insists for her to use his credit card.

 

“So, what are you going to do for the remaining three days?,” Yuri asked right after they went inside the car.

 

“I don’t know yet. I have to change my plan. But, we need to look after you too, though,” she replied.

 

“It’s okay. I can take care myself. Just go and enjoy your time here. Bring Hani with you too,” he said.

 

“I will think about that later,” she replied while her eyes focusing on the road as she was driving.

“Do you want me to order room service for you?,” Yoona asked right after they entered inside Yuri’s room. She put the medicine on the dressing table. Yuri took of his thick jacket and throw it on the small couch. He walked towards the bed and lie down.

 

“I don’t know what to eat, though. Everything tastes bland for me,” he replied. Hani climbed on the bed and sat next to her father. She put her tiny hands on his forehead and started massaging with all her might. Yoona smiled on the cute sight in front of her.

 

“Alright. I will order a room service for our lunch. I will check on the menu, and ask them to make a soup or porridge for you,” she said.

 

“No porridge, please. I’m sick of eating it,” he replied. Yoona just rolled her eyes annoyingly.

 

“Aigoo.. Your daddy is so childish, Hani ya,” Yoona said to the little girl. Hani just chuckled on her words. Yoona walked towards the coffee table and took the pamphlet menu from it.

 

“Mushroom soup with garlic bread, is it okay for you?,” she asked. Yuri nodded.

 

“That will be okay,” he replied. Yoona then continued looking at the menu.

 

“Hani ya, what do you want to have for lunch?,” she asked the little girl. Hani stopped massaging Yuri’s forehead, and hop off the bed, walking towards Yoona. She sat next to her while looking at the menu. She was so confused with the food name and it ended up that she couldn’t decide any.

 

“Hani don’t know the food name, imo. But, Hani want to eat spaghetti car.. car..,” she tried to say it, but she has forgotten the name.

 

“Carbonara, sweetie. Spaghetti carbonara,” Yoona said as she smiled.

 

“Haa.. Spaghetti carbonara. Halmeoni used to cook that for Hani,” the little girl replied.

 

“Chincha? Arasso. Imo will order spaghetti carbonara for Hani,” Yoona said.

 

“Thank you, imo,” Hani thanked her.

 

“You’re welcome, sweetie. Alright, imo need to make a call for room service,” she replied and patted on her head before she got up from the chair. Unfortunately, the handy was located on the side table of the bed where Yuri was lying down. She have no choice but to go on his side and carefully took the handy as Yuri has already fell asleep due to the effect of the shot. She sat down on the carpeted floor, and immediately dialed the room service number.

 

“Hello! Room service? This is room number 125. Yes, I want to make an order for lunch. Two sets of mushroom soup with garlic bread, one spaghetti carbonara, one salmon steak with asparagus, two orange juice and one jug of plain water. Yes, that’s all. Thank you,” she slowly said. She was about to put the handy back on the side table when suddenly Yuri stirred and his hand accidentally fell on Yoona’s shoulder. She was startled and the handy fell on the floor.

 

“Aishh..,” she groaned as she slowly lifted Yuri’s hand from her shoulder and put it on the bed. She quickly got up from the floor and put back the handy on the side table. She then walking back to the chair where Hani was sitting. The little girl was busy drawing something on the empty paper which she took from the pamphlet folder. While waiting, she switch on the TV and watching on random programs.

“Eat some more, Yuri,” Yoona said while looking at the latter. Yuri just ate one piece of garlic bread and only ate half bowl of the mushroom soup. He shook his head.

 

“I just can’t Yoona. My throat is still sore,” Yuri said. He lost his appetite to eat. Yoona felt sorry for him. How come he’s the one who fell sick? She and Hani also trapped in the rain on last night.

 

“Arasso. Just leave the food and drink the water,” she said as she took the jug and poured the water in. Like an obedient kid, he took the glass and slowly drink the water. She then took the plastic bag which contains medicines from the hospital, and she read the prescription on it. “Eat this,” she said as she casually grabbed Yuri’s hand, and put the pills into his palm. Yuri sighed while looking at those pills, but he has no choice but to swallow all those pills. He grimaced at its taste and his sore throat. He quickly drank the water.

 

“Just get a rest after this. I will look after Hani,” she said.

 

“Thanks, Yoona. Sorry for spoiling your holiday,” Yuri replied.

 

“It’s okay. It's not like you ask to fall sick, right?,” she said as she smiled. This is the first time she spoke softly to him and her smile made Yuri’s heart felt fluttered.

 

“She’s not as bad as I thought. Sunny was right. She’s still has a good side in her,” he thought.

 

“Hani ya, have you finished eating your food?,” Yoona asked the little girl.

 

“Dae, immo. Hani finished eating spaghetti car.. car..,” she stuttered as she’s stuck at carbonara word, causing Yoona chuckled on her cute act.

 

“Carbonara, sweetie,” she said.

 

“Yes, carbonara.. Aishh..,” Hani replied while smacking on her own forehead. Yoona laughed at the cute act of her.

 

“You need to study hard, baby,” Yuri said to his daughter.

 

“It’s hard to pronounce that word, daddy,” Hani replied.

 

“You can learn from Yoona imo, though. She’s good in Italian language,” Yuri said.

 

“Chincha, imo?,” the little girl asked.

 

“Yes, sweetie. Imo will teach you, okay? So, when we go to Italy later, you can greet the people there in their language,” she replied.

 

“Yeay!,” Hani cheered excitedly.

 

“Alright. I will call the room service to clean this later. I will bring Hani to stay at my room. If you want anything just call me, arasso?,” Yoona said.

 

“Yes, mommy,” Yuri said teasingly, causing the latter furrowed her brows.

 

“Ya!,” she exclaimed in anger, but then she calmed herself down as Hani was looking at her. “Aishh.. You’re so dead, Kwon Yuri!,” she thought while glaring at the latter. “Kaja, Hani ya,” she said while holding the little girl’s hand. Yuri couldn’t help but to chuckle while looking at pissed Yoona and her daughter went out of the room.

 

“Imo,” Hani called her.

 

“Yes, sweetie?,” she replied.

 

“Why daddy called imo ‘mommy’?,” the little girl asked. Yoona was flustered with her sudden question. She took a deep breath, and exhaled it slowly.

 

“Ermm.. your daddy is just joking, sweetie. Because imo took care of him when he’s sick,” she tried to explain to her.

 

“Can Hani call imo ‘mommy’ too?,” she asked. Yoona’s eyes widened in shock.

 

“M-mworago?”
