"Are you alright?" Jiwon asked as Mirae emerged from the bathroom. She looked frail and for the past two days, was throwing up quite frequently.
"I don't know," she said in a heavy tone. She took out a soap and began to smell it.
"What are you doing?" Jiwon rolled his eyes. "Just go to a doctor. You've been unable to eat for the past two days!"
"Yeah but the soap makes me feel calmer," Mirae said. "Helps in controlling the feeling of nausea."
"Go to a doctor, Mirae," he advised her. "We'll go today after I return from work. You should rest at home."
"I'm fine!" she insisted but Jiwon noticed she was swaying slightly. Alarmed, he got up from the bed and held her just in time as she was about to collapse.
"You're not fine!" he insisted. She looked really pale. He carried her to the bed, laying her carefully on it. He checked her forehead.
Her temperature seemed normal, he thought.
"I'm taking the day off today," he announced.
