"You brought her a bit late. We tried our best but we have to hope she recovers quickly. She is still unconscious at the moment but I assure you she will be fine". He said and my happiness died at that moment.
She's alive?. Gosh, I hate this! How is she still alive?. Why does she have to be alive?. I wish I could sue this doctor for being so professional.
I stormed out of the hospital and entered my car. I won't pretend I'm happy the little witch survived.

" Open up".
I opened my mouth and he shoved in the spoon. I couldn't help my smile as I ate. Who would believe Canaan is feeding me?.
If anyone should see him now, they'll doubt I'm the sick one. Even with eye bags, he still looked so cute.
I pretended to choke and he quickly grabbed the bottle water. He opened it for me and patted my back as I drank.
"Sir, I'm full" I told him and he nodded and sealed the bottle.
From what he said earlier, no one at home knew about my condition and he wanted to keep it that way.
I stared dreamily as he sucked his lip. I don't know why he is fond of that but I wasn't going to ask.
He suddenly took out my pills and I frowned. I don't like pills.. Why can't they just inject me instead?. I grimaced at the drugs.
" Sir, I don't want them. I'm really fine.. see.. I can move, eat... I have fully recovered, I promise... I don't need them... " I said but he ignored me.
I quicky lay down and buried my face in the pillow.
" Stop this childish act, Kim. You need these pills " he sighed but I refused to move. He tried talking me into it but I wouldn't budge.
I felt his hands snake round my waist and my heart pounded. Why is it beating so hard just because he touched me?.
He turned me over and I pouted.
"They're bitter. All of them. Please don't make me take them" I pleaded, ignoring my pounding heart. I met his eyes and he looked away.
"Stop staring at me like that. Tell me what will make you take this medicine. Anything and I'll do it" He said.
I don't understand why he is willing to do so much for these bitter tablets.
"Why?" I blurted and he bit his lip. He looked everywhere but me. Is he nervous?. I smiled. This is so adorable!
"You're so ignorant. I only want you to take it because Shugar will kill me. Come on, take it" He said quickly and I gave him a suspicious look.
"No, I won't. I'll take a nap instead" I stated.
"Aishhhh! You're so annoying when you're sick. Take the damn pills already. You don't know how scared I was when I found you...." He paused and sighed, stopping himself from saying more.
I grumpily took the medicine but only because he looked stressed. I know how annoying and over demanding I can be when sick.
"Are you okay?" He asked when he noticed my expression.
"I told you they were bitter. Now I want ice-cream. Strawberry flavored" I pouted.
"Alright." He took out his phone and placed and order.
"I want pizza too" I added, making a cute face. He ordered it too.
"Oh, I want bulgogi too. The one Mrs Rose makes. It is sooo delicious! Please get it for me... Please..." I pleaded and he groaned.
" Fine, I'll do that" He said and left. The order arrived soon and I began to eat.
He came back two hours later with my demand. I squealed and snatched it from him. Then I frowned.
" What is it? She made it herself " .
" I know. I just thought about Honey. I have neglected her for so long and... "
" Who is Honey?" He asked.
" My dog. Please get her for me. I really want to see her" I pleaded.
" You should have said that earlier " He groaned.
" Does that mean you won't get her? " I asked, tearing up. He looked shocked to see my tears. He leaned in and brushed them off.
" Don't cry, I'll get her" He said and I nodded. He walked out and I smiled. Who knew Canaan could be so caring?.
I relaxed to enjoy Mrs Rose special bulgogi. I swear she makes the best. I can never get enough.
He came back an hour later with Honey. She barked and jumped on me. I giggled and hugged her tightly.
She doesn't let strangers close to her and I'm pretty sure she has never seen Canaan. I wonder how he did it.
"You want treats, girl?" I asked and she barked I turned to Canaan, who was on his phone.
I bit my lip. He is going to flare up for sure.
"Uhm Sir, can you.... Honey wants.. I mean I asked her and she barked....." He rose a brow.
"Could you please get her some treats?" I asked, expecting him to blow up. He simply glared at me and walked out.
Is he angry? Will he get it?. Is he coming back?. What if he doesn't?. How will I get out of here?. How will I find my way home?.
Why did I have to be so annoying?. But it's not my fault, right?. It's a package that comes with sickness.
"Honey, we might have to break out of here if he doesn't come back. Guess what, it's all my fault" I whispered, hugging her close. I was close to bursting into tears when he came back.
He was holding a bag of treats and I broke into a grin.
"You came back".
"We're you crying?" He asked, sitting beside me. His eyes looked very dull and stressed.
" I thought you were upset with me. I feel like a bad person for causing so much trouble and stressing you. You look so worn out and.... " I broke into a sob.
Blame the sickness for making me an emotional mess. He wiped my tears and pulled me into a hug. He smells so nice.
" As long as you get better, I don't mind. Now stop wasting those tears and smile" He said and I smiled out tears.
I would stay in his arms forever if I could. It's so comforting and warm.
If this is how good sickness feels then I'm not getting better any time soon.
