Two days later Yoon-Yi woke up as if from a deep slumber. She felt lightheaded and her eyes could barely focus on the things around her. Her muscles protested every time she tried to get up or move even a little. Her entire body was weak and sore after fighting off the high fever and she was still convalescing.
After being fussed over the entire morning, Yoon-Yi was now finally alone with just her thoughts. Her mind was a jumble of incoherent images and she wanted to clear them up a bit. For that she needed peace and quiet, something difficult to obtain when Jung-Hee kept scolding her for not taking her medicine or fretting about her condition and loss of weight.
Indeed, throughout the sickness, Yoon-Yi lost some weight, but she did not consider it to be something to agonize about. On the contrary, every girl wanted to lose a bit of weight every now and then.
