As she opened her eyes, bright white light flashed her eyes.
"Wow, am I in heaven?"
[Step! Step!]
"What good deeds have you ever done to deserve heaven? You witch!" said the boy with a hand in cast and bandaged forehead as he glared down at the girl with a frown.
"The hell why are you here? Have you also descended to heaven? To think that after being desc mates from elementary to high school, now I even have to die with you.. God really has no sympathy for me!"
As soon as Dawn confirmed it was a hospital and not heaven, she started ridiculing him with sarcasm. Then, she noticed the state the boy was in and felt very satisfied with the situation he was in. It felt like a refreshing breeze passing by her burning hot stomach.
"How did you die? All patched up!" She asked with a smirk.
"Shouldn't you be the one to answer that?" said the all patched up handsome man, frowning as he took out a wrecked old piece of paper from his pocket and knocked it on her chest.
"Ugh, fuxx you piece of work. I just had an accident. Do you want me to die that badly?" she said exaggerating as she looked at the old piece of paper, that looked similar to the papers the fairy used for their contacts.
"W-hy do you still have that child-play?" said the girl as she urgently shredded the piece of paper. Only for it to magically regenerated itself as if never wrecked or shredded. As new as it was the day they wrote it.
"Do you think I didn't try it, dummy? I even burned it! And flashed it in the toilet. No matter what I do, it appears again!" murmured the boy, tracks of urgency and tiredness showing on his handsome face.
"On my birthday night it flashed on my bedside glowing." He explained as he sat down on the wheelchair beside the bed, one of his feet also in a cast.
"Since then, there haven't been an hour without accidents. I almost died falling on flat ground."He said as his emerald green eyes, that were always arrogant and looked down on people, seemed to glow with something like fear.
"Just where in the world did you get that paper?" He said with an unreadable look in his eyes.
Feeling blamed and still suffering from the previous situation, she blamed him back.
" In the first place, why in the world did we write that ridiculous marriage promise with those ridiculous terms?" She replied in an uncontrolled, loud voice.
" Yes, it was all because of the childish feelings of a child! I was young, and I didn't know better than to love something like you..", He shouted back, panting with a red face.
"Hah!"
He stood again and walked to the window, limping.
"Sigh. You're not that delusional to think than I am still in love with you right?", He added in a sarcastic tone as he opened the window and took a deep breath.
Dawn's face became sour. Well, maybe she hoped so. After all, what were the odds of them meeting in the same collage? Then, choosing the same hospital to enroll in and on top of that, choosing the same medical specialty.
'Did I ever tell him to love me? It was him following me around like a duckling and asking me to marry him when we grow up. It was his actions that made me lo- sigh! ' She thought, feeling upset and angry.
The promise was really a child's play, but written on that damn fairies paper.
They were only fourteen and dawn was tired of Eun-Woo asking her to marry him every other day. She couldn't get away from him since they were desc mates and further family friends. Therefore, she told him that "if until we both turn 28 and either of us is married, I will marry you! "
It was then him, clinging to her to write a contract, because he wouldn't believe her unless they write a contract. Reasoning that according to his father, promises are only trustworthy if written on a contract. And they wrote one, and with a curse as a breach of contract clause.
"If we do not marry, may we be unlucky for the rest of our lives."
"No, I'm not. You made sure that I knew you hate me every day at work. So I quit, to make both of us feel more comfortable.. Were my intentions not obvious enough? I hate you too," Dawn said, looking right into Eun-Woo's eyes that became darker and more cold with each word she said.
"Good to know we have mutual feelings. Now let me ask again where. did. you. get. that. paper ?!"he spelled each word void of any emotions this time.
"Don't you remember? I told you then too, I get it from a fairy!" Dawn replied in a calm tone.
Eun-Woo turned red again.
"Do you think we are in a situation to joke around?" he said, pressing his temples and taking deep breaths.
"Phew! Do you think we are on joking terms? I never joke around with you!", She replied in a serious tone, sounding exhausted.
[ring! ring!]
Dawn's ringtone broke the conversation. She was about to strech her hand and take the phone that a large hand hindered her from doing so.
"Watch the IV."
It was Eun-Woo who rounded the bed and handed her the ringing phone.
Looking at Eun-Woo sitting on the wheelchair, she thought, 'Says someone who shouldn't be on his feet but walks around without a care."
The call was from Mr. Kim.
"Hello", she said as she put the phone on speaker.
"Hi, is that you Dawn? "
With the Mr. kim's voice coming from her phone, one of Eun-Woo's brows jumped up, and he looked at Dawn with a question mark plastered all over his face.
His action made dawn curious, so she mouthed "What??" which he ignored but drew his wheelchair closer.
"Dawn??"
"Ah, Yess. I'm here! How are you, grandpa?"
This time both of his brows jumped up as he bend over to look at her phone, his long eyelashes almost contacting the phone screen.
