Chapter 8
Blind Love
The day went by so fast. Ji eun tried to be casual to jungshin as possible. He is not his usual self again. for its worse he
is like the first time she met him. “are you okay? You are too quiet today” ji eun asked junghsin when they are having
their snack at the lawn. He didn’t answer. She rolled her eyes. “childish!” she muttered. She glance at her watch.
5:30pm, 30 minutes left. “Nurse Lee” ji eun turned to see who called her. “oh, Ma’am Lee good afternoon.” “good
afternoon Nurse Lee, uhm, would you like to be with us at dinner?” Mrs. Lee asked. “I would love to but I have an
appointment” she politely declined. “she has a date” jungshin said. making jieun looked at him stunned. “oh, is that so?”
Mrs. Lee said, ji eun looked at the Madam and she didn’t know if she’s imagining it but she can see sadness in her face.
“butler chang! I want to go back to my room!” jungshin shouted making ji eun jumped. Mrs. Lee was smirking making
ji eun furrowed her brows. Butler chang wheeled jungshin inside. Ji eun sighed. She is confuse with his sudden change.
“Nurse Lee thank you for today. You can go home early now, I think my jungshin has a lot to think about tonight. By
the way, if you don’t mind me asking, are you in a relationship right now?” “no ma’am, I don’t have time for that, I
just have a dinner with my best friend and his mom.” Ji eun answered. “oh, your bestfriend is a guy” Mrs. Lee looked
at jungshin’s direction. Ji eun saw a ghost of smile on her face again. “uhm, er.. I should be going now, I’ll be here
tomorrow earlier than this morning” “okay dear, tomorrow then, we can have dinner, I hope jungshin can voice out
what he is thinking by then” ji eun just shrug what puzzling stuff Mrs. Lee is saying.
On his room, jungshin is playing with his guitar. “junsu oppa, tsk” he said then he recalled what he heard she
whispered earlier, “I don’t know why I fell for him”. “so, she likes him? Is he not feeling the same way?” he stopped
playing, and ruffled his hair. “this is bull…” a knock interrupted his monologue. “son? Can I come in?” Mrs. Lee peeked
on the door. “sure mom” jungshin said. fixing his hair. Mrs. Lee sat on the chair near the bed. “so, have you thought
about it?” she suddenly asked. Jungshin brows furrowed. “about what?” he asked. Mrs. Lee shook her head while
smiling. “Son, a mother knows what her child feels” jungshin still confused. Mrs Lee rolled her eyes. “you are obviously
crushing on your private nurse son” jungshin eyes widen. “I, no.. I’—m not” he said stuttering. “you can hide it with
everyone, but not to me.” Mrs. Lee moved to sit on the bed beside jungshin. He sighed. “well, I don’t know mom, I feel
at ease having her beside me, I like talking to her, teasing her, I miss her whenever she’s not here, and even I don’t
know how she looks like I dream of her” Mrs. Lee smiled. “you like her jungshin-ah” his mom placed a hand over his.
He sighed. “but, she’s in love with someone else” “is she? Did she told you that?” “I heard her talking with herself”
jungshin’s voice is low, sad. “son, if you like her, you must show it to her, she’s a nurse not a mind reader, you tend to
show her your bad side, but still she is still here, doing her job, I know she is determine to be a doctor but, I think
there’s something more” Mrs. Lee said. jungshin chuckled. “more? Mom, you are over analyzing things” he said. “no, it
is called woman’s instinct, I can see the way she look at you, it is not just concern from a nurse to a patient son, how
can you miss it? I thought your feeling is heighten.” Junghsin rolled his eyes mentally. “mom, uhm, what does she
looks like?” he suddenly asked. “you want to see her?” Mrs. Lee asked. He nod. “might as well undergo with the
surgery son, so you can see how beautiful she is” Mrs. Lee pats jungshin’s hand and stood up walking out of his room.
