CHAPTER 18

Cupid’s Arrow

SINB’S POV

“You should tell Sojung about your health” Yerin said as she take a slurp on her strawberry milkshake

I had been experiencing weird behavior and reaction on my body ever since I experienced my first kiss with Sojung, that time inside the dorm

That night, I felt myself getting dizzy without any valid reason. I took a pill and fortunately it went away after a few minutes I took the medicine so I thought it was just merely a coincidence or maybe I did something a while ago that caused me to be dizzy. But, no.

I experienced getting dizzy everyday. And as each day pass, the more it gets worse. I even remember when I was groaning—almost screaming in pain when Sojung was away  and is attending her class so I was the only one who was left in the dorm

My vision was getting blurry and I could feel my veins in my head popping out due to the pain that I was feeling.

The feeling of death was just right in front of me, waiting for me to hold her hands that was reaching out for me.

I wanted to give in.

I wanted to end the pain.

But knowing that Sojung would always be just right there, welcoming me with a smile and giving me the warmest hugs and kisses that no other person could give. 

I fought the urge of death coming for me everyday.

Everyday...

Everyday... Pain was killing me but I had to hide it when I’m in front of her. When I’m in front of the person who makes me feel thousands of emotions

The person who will forever be my one and only world.

Knowing that my world would crumble once she finds out that I am experiencing painful events which I don’t even know what this illness is

I only could pray that it is not something awful that it could take away my own life. I want to spend my entire life with her, Kim Sojung, the one whom I truly love and the person whom I could sacrifice my everything just to see her smile everyday and hear her sweet and tender voice that never fails to makes me smile and echoes inside my head just like a broken tape

“I don’t want to worry her” I weakly smiled at Yerin who shook her head as she sigh

“You’re unbelievable. You do know that she’ll get more affected by the fact that you didn’t tell her your condition”

I look at my lock screen, A photo of Sojung who was cooking breakfast during the last day of our school trip.

The fact is... I actually woke up before her but I experienced having a heavy headache so I wasn’t able to fulfill the agreement of me cooking us our breakfast

But there was one thing that made me smile despite of my headache...

It was when she tightly wrapped her arms around my waist and buried her face on my back and mumbled “I love you, Bi”

Her actions and words were like a miracle because my head suddenly stopped throbbing from pain as I felt her love.

She was indeed a miracle that appeared in my life

The miracle I had been waiting to appear

A miracle that is so rare to happen, suddenly appeared right in front of me

And that miracle I’m talking about is none other than Kim Sojung

“She looked so worried and was panicking when you collapsed at the pool. She was the first person who touched you and even lifted you up while the other students were afraid to do so”—Yerin covered my phone screen making me look at her—“She was crying and didn’t leave by your side, waiting for you to wake up”

“That’s why I don’t want to tell her. I can’t imagine seeing her so broken because of me, being in a weak state”

I took a deep breath and looked up at the clear blue sky. A vision of her smiling at me appeared upon the sky making my heart skip a beat despite the fact that I was just merely hallucinating

She had only been the only person who managed to make me smile even just seeing her face or merely feeling her presence

“She’ll get hurt more once she saw you lying inside a hospital, a dextrose hanging beside your bed, injection on your hand”

“That’s why you’re the one who accompanied me at the hospital a while ago”

I asked Yerin to accompany me at the hospital because I was experiencing headache and dizziness for quiet a while and I wanted to know what kind of illness is this... I wanted to know if it’s just side effect of me hating healthy foods

But as the results had came out, the doctor found it bizarre because they had found no illness upon the research.

They have checked my blood pressure, took a blood sample, did an x-ray yet there had seemed to not match any illness which led them to ask me if I would like to stay in the hospital for further observation. I rejected it and had said that Yerin will be the one to help me observe if I would experience more pain

Yerin had wanted to me stay but I desperately told her that Sojung is waiting for me and would be worried once she knew that I’m in the hospital

“You’re really stubborn, Hwang Eunbi. Don’t blame me if that gets worse” She then grabbed her milkshake and stood after I faintly smiled at her

We now walked towards back at the campus which was a few blocks away. Our walk was full of silence, as if we were admiring the beautiful day and how perfect the atmosphere is for a date

“Hey, what do you think would Yuju like for a monthsary gift?” Yerin asked breaking the ice

“I don’t know. We’re not that close so why are you asking me?”

“Well... you have more sense that I do so... I think you will have a better opinion”

“Just take her out on a date. I’m sure she’ll like that. I mean I love it even when Sojung just takes me out” I said as I swipe my I.D. card at the entrance gate of the campus

“What did that Sojung made you eat that you always blabber and think about her?” She said teasingly making me laugh

“I mean... she’s not that great.. wait have you even kissed her?” She added with a sarcastic tone and ran while chuckling knowing that I’ll probably smack her on her shoulder

I ran towards her but I suddenly felt my head once again throbbing and I could hear loud static sounds making it more painful

I have found myself kneeling on the ground with my right hand placed on my head and I was getting suffocated making it hard to breath.

I could hear Yerin shouting out my name as I slowly fall on the ground and as my vision was getting blurry and blurry as the static sound’s volume gets higher and higher and I was screaming my lungs out but I could hear no voice, all I see was Yerin panicking, the surroundings getting blurry and swirling around

And before I knew it... my body had given up and my vision went pitch black and the static sounds were gone
