@@

There doesnt seem to be any major problems, but since you mentioned drinking a lot of water, Im concerned about edema. Lets admit you to the hospital for a day as we monitor your condition.

That was the doctors conclusion after looking over all the tests.

Midori replied from behind Miyuki.

Alright.

If you go to the admission-discharge office and fill out the consent form, we will guide you to your hospital room.

Thank you so much

Miyuki bowed slowly, and dragged her feet out of the doctors office.

Wateru, Kanna and Tetsuya were waiting for Miyuki outside.

Miyuki looked at them and asked Wateru.

Dad Wheres Matsuda-kun?

He didnt have a change of clothes or spare shoes, so he left to buy them.

Is that so? Did you give him some money?

When I tried to give it to him, he refused it quite adamantly.

You should have still given it to himmm Is he coming here after getting some clothes?

He didnt say anything about that? But we did tell him the name of the hospital, so probably.

Now that she was no longer panicked, she can clearly remember what happened at the beach.

Not only did she almost drown Matsuda-kun when he came to save her, she even tried to grab him when he was rescuing her from behind.

She got hit in the forehead twice He must have been angry.

But what was she supposed to do.

At that moment, Matsuda approaching her seemed like a relief pitcher with a zero defense rate. (TL Note: I have honestly no idea what this means, since I dont watch baseball lol. Sorry if it doesnt make sense.)

Even on the lifeguards boat, she needed something to grab on to, so she instinctively approached Matsuda and then threw up on him.

She was extremely sorry, embarrassed, and grateful.

What about your number? You told him right?

Wateru nodded.

I wrote it on a piece of paper.

Piece of paper?

Matsuda lost his phone. He said he probably dropped it in the ocean.

Miyuki tightly closed her eyes.

She already owed him her life and now even a phone

She had no right to see Matsuda.

Miyuki, what did the Doctor-nim say?

Tetsuya asked as he took a step towards her.

She looked at him with hazy eyes and replied.

There arent any problems But I have to stay here for a day as they monitor me

Thats a relief I was really worried.

Thanks Wait Tetsuya-kun, arent you spending the break with your family?

How can I relax when you are like this. My parents were worried too.

Ok Ill contact you later.

You dont have to, so just focus on getting better.

She lost all energy from her body, and couldnt find the strength to keep talking.

She must have expanded all of her energy struggling earlier.

Miyuki, thanked Tetsuya, then completed the admission procedure with her family and was assigned to a hospital room.

They said that not even family members are allowed in hospital rooms. Well wait in the lounge so let us know as soon as you need something. Alright?

Miyuki who finished a shower and changed into a hospital gown, told Midori she understood.

She followed the kind nurses lead and laid down on her bed, and took a look around.

Even though its a 4 person room, there wasnt anyone else there.

When she was left alone in a quiet place, many thoughts began swarming her.

Kanna told her. That Matsuda rescued her very quickly.

She said it looked like he ran as soon as she fell into the water

Does that mean he was looking at her the whole time?

Or was it a fate-like coincidence?

I want to ask him

Just like at the bookstore

No, the image of Matsuda looking even more desperate than at the bookstore flashed before her eyes.

When will Matsuda get here?

No way he lost the paper with the phone number right?

On top of that, since Matsuda was such an idiot he might have forgotten the name of the hospital.

Miyuki was staring at the ceiling filled with worry,

Buzz!

She looked at her phone when it began vibrating.

Upon seeing Waterus text, she suddenly stood up.

[Matsuda is here.]

**

Thank you so much If it werent for you Miyuki would be

No, mother-in-law. Hearing the same thing tens of times is getting a little boring.

However, I really like that you are tightly grabbing onto my hand.

Your hands are quite warm. Can I suck on your titties just once?

Lets go get a phone. Well buy you a new one.

Im fine.

What do you mean youre fine! We should obviously buy it for you

No but I just bought one a moment ago. I needed a new one anyways, so you really dont need to worry about it.

Now that I went this far, they will find it hard to push any further.

If youre that thankful, invite me to your house instead of buying me a phone.

After briefly talking with Wateru about Miyukis condition, I walked towards Tetsuya who was standing around timidly and lightly slapped him in the back.

Its you Miura? I just saw you.

Hello, Matsuda.

I thought you came here with your family?

I was worried about Miyuki But I do have to leave soon. I saw you rescue Miyuki. You were really cool.

You are an uninvited guest.

Wouldnt it be polite to leave as soon as possible?

If you saw us, you could have lent me a hand.

Sorry When I saw you guys you were on the lifeguards boat already

Im joking man. Your hair looks fresh today. Keep it like this.

Th-Thanks.

I subtly mocked Tetsuya, and waved one arm when I saw Miyuki walked out wearing a hospital gown.

You came?

She didnt say anything.

She just limped over in front of me, and blankly stared at me.

Because Miyukis lips lost colour, they look thinner.

She looks like a bedridden beautiful girl. In a situation like this, you need to do a mating press.

I scratched my temple acting as if I were feeling uneasy.

And then told off Miyuki with a joking tone.

I told you to stretch right? You really should start listening to me.

Miyukis complicated expression faded away when she laughed.

A dumb smile almost as if she had a screw loose I really like it.

I understand Thanks for saving me, Matsuda-kun.

Your dad told me that you have to be admitted for a day. Rest up. Im gonna head out.

Huh? Youre leaving? Where?

I have to get home before the trains stop.

Im not going. Im eating dinner with you, and your family.

So stop me already.

What are you talking about! If I send you away like this what does that make me! When you get home, ride on my dads car He said he would take you with us Lets eat together right now

Did the hospital not give you any food?

I just got admitted so of course not Lets go to the restaurant.

Can you move? It looks painful.

Im just tired Im fine I just have to stay in the hospital so lets go already Im hungry because I havent eaten anything

Miyuki even grabbed me by my clothes.

It looks like she really doesnt want me to leave.

I glanced over at Wateru, and when he nodded with a smile, I spoke.

Alright.

Tetsuya-kun do you want to come with us?

Miyuki asked Tetsuya, who had be standing there awkwardly the whole time.

Before that bastard could say anything, I took the lead.

Miura said he has to go back to his family.

Is that so? In that case, see you later Tetsuya-kun. Ill contact you later.

Then, Tetsuya flinched and replied clumsily.

Ah, yes Rest well And make sure you contact me later.

Sure.

Miyuki waved weakly at Tetsuya, and told me to follow her as she headed towards the elevator.

Tetsuya, why did you run you mouth.

If you didnt talk about your family, you could have gotten in between me and Miyuki

This is why someone shouldnt be too honest.

Even though theres opportunities to score, you end up missing.

**

Shouldnt you be eating the patient food?

No Doctor-nim said I can have regular meals.

You should still eat something simple. You drank all that sea water, and now you want to have something oily?

I pushed away Miyukis arm as she tried to press the denpura button on the kiosk, and I pressed the button for the home-cooked meal.

Then, I gave Miyuki the ticket number.

Should I go a little further? I think I can.

I was nervous on the inside, but pretended to be calm as I caressed the back of Miyukis head.

From now on, even when Im not here, eat this kind foods. Dont eat oily stuff just because adults arent around okay?

When I spoke in an extremely patronizing tone, as I would a child, Miyuki pouted.

But that was just on the outside, she didnt say anything.

Meaning other than me making fun of her, she wasnt bothered by anything I did.

Saving you really did wonders.

I shouted hurrah on the inside, and pointed towards an empty corner.

Wait there. Dont go anywhere else.

Matsuda-kun, whatll you have?

Donkatsu.

You cant Eat the home cooking instead.

Why should I?

Since you always eat unhealthy foods At least eat healthy foods here.

After saying that, Miyuki herself pressed the button for the home-cooked meal and took a ticket. Foll𝑜ow current novÊls on nov3lb((in).(com)

And then she stood at the back of the line and gestured towards me.

It kind of feels like a wife worrying about her husbands body, am I wrong?

I stood behind Miyuki with a happy heart.

Obviously I didnt forget to complain on the outside.

After receiving the food, we sat down at the spot I pointed to before.

Miyuki didnt touch the side dishes, and just nibbled on the rice.

Looks like she is worrying about a lot of things. I ate a large scoop of rice and spoke.

What is it? You dont like the food?

Thats not it Matsuda-kun.

What.

Your phone Sorry I made you lose it

Your mom and dad said the same thing. I guess for you its the first and last time Ill say it, but dont worry about it. I was gonna get a new one anyways.

Also, thanks for saving me

Miyuki put her hands on her knees and greeted me.

I scoffed and pulled out my new phone.

Havent you already said that greeting already? Anyways, just put in your number.

Ah, ok

Miyuki carefully typed out her number on my phone and gave it back to me.

After I saved her number and resumed eating, she spoke feebly.

Matsuda-kun.

What now.

Is my forehead bruised?

Nope.

Look carefully. Im sure theres a bruise

Show me your forehead then.

She pushed her head forward, revealing her forehead to me.

It was not clearly visible as it was covered by her bangs.

You sly little Is she hoping that I move her hair?

Ill do as you want.

I naturally moved her hair with my hand, and stared at her forehead.

I shrugged my shoulders.

I dont see anything.

Is that so?

Its unfortunate isnt it? Since you could have sued me for assault but now you have no evidence?

Thats not funny.

Thats unfortunate.

Miyuki laughed weakly, then fiddled with her phone and sent me a picture.

It was none other than the one we took last time when we got food.

Where our heads were so close they almost touched.

I would like for you to save it.

Okay. Ill do it later.

.

I was going to put my phone away and resume eating, when Miyuki kept staring at me, so I slightly furrowed my eyebrows.

Right now?

Yes now.

She wanted the very first picture on my new phone to be one of her and I.

So thats why shes making me do it now.

I did everything I could during the summer break, and finished this event too.

I earned quite a bit of things today.

And Miyuki was generously giving me gifts to me who had this kind of intention.

Not only did she allow me to touch the back of her head and forehead, which was completely different from her usual attitude, but she also showed an obsessive side by forcing me to take the first picture

In Miyukis mind, there was a balance scale with me and Tetsuya on either side.

I can almost see that its coming towards my side.

Wanting anything beyond this is just greed.

Miyuki showed enough of courage.
