Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 160

The next day as soon as Melanie woke up from sleep, she immediately woke up from there and slowly moved out of her treatment room while pushing her IV drip together with her before Byung-Hun or her doctor was there and prevented her from moving away.

She is still feeling some pain in her stomach, but she can feel that her strength is slowly recovering there. Upon arriving at the registration desk, she decides to ask one of the employees there to find out where Beom-Soo’s room is. She forgot to ask that to Byung-Hun yesterday. But she knew it very well that even if she asked, for sure the man would not answer for fear she would go there yesterday.

“Excuse me nurse. Can I know where Mr. Beom-Soo room is?” Melanie politely ask there.

The nurse in charge of the registration desk blinking at her now as she is wearing a hospital gown also push her own IV drip there.

“Don’t worry. I already asked my doctor for permission to move around.” Without shy, Melanie lying there.

The nurse just smiles awkwardly to he,  seems not too sure, but still she give her the room number.

“Mr. Beom-Soo who got gunshot yesterday, am I correct?”

“Yes. That’s him.”

“He is in level 3, room 104.”

“Thank you.”

Upon learning the information, Melanie continues to rush away quickly for fear of anyone, especially if Byung-Hun suddenly goes through there. She also still doesn’t see Jieun anywhere. Maybe Sarah drags her away from here as she can’t be here all the time anyway.

Upon arriving at the front door of the man’s room, Melanie stood there first before entering. Preparing herself there. As she knows that Beom-Soo become like this because he tries to protect her, made her cannot escape from feeling guilty about what happen even though she didn’t ask for that.

“Here we go.” Melanie told herself as she turned the doorknob. Her heart sank at that moment when she saw the wires connected here and there all over the man’s body.

Melanie bit her lip, holding back the tears that were now coming to her eyes. She closes the door slowly after becoming frozen there for a few minutes. Then her  legs walked weakly towards the man.

She was a little hesitant there, but in the end she held out her hand to hold his hand that was lying there not even moving.

“Sorry I’m late to see you.” Melanie tries to smile there but still can’t stop herself from being sad.  Her voice crack now.

Her memory went back to the moment when the man did not hesitate at all to save her when she was actually ready to face her death. What he said to her before what happened, about his feeling towards her also came into her memory at this time.

“Why do you tell me all that when you’re going to be like this? Is it because you know I won’t be able to reciprocate your feelings?” Melanie started asking there. She still remembers that he suddenly told her all that as if it was his last word.

“But still… You can’t leave like this Brian. You can’t leave Jieun like this. You… can’t leave me like this. Not when everything isn’t finished yet. You need to see what you tried so hard to the end. ” Melanie said as she cried. She can’t control her feeling anymore.

“So please… Please wake up.” She looked at the man’s face whose eyes were tightly closed. He didn’t even move at all, even after what she said there.

“You never properly rest in this life yet. But I refuse to see you resting in this way Brian. How can you expect me to explain everything to Jieun alone? You need to stand beside me for me to do that.”

Suddenly Beom-Soo’s oxygen level is low and his heart is beating irregularly. Melanie becomes panic there and keeps pressing the emergency button in fast.

“Don’t you die on me. You heard me right? Don’t you dare. I lie to you before. I still feel furious that you left me that time in the lab. So if you didn’t want me to feel the same the second time, you need to get up. No matter what… Don’t left me yet… “Melanie said that in the last before she was pushed out by the nurse and doctor who came in a rush there.

Thankfully, after 10 minutes, Beom-Soo is back in a stable mode again, but Melanie didn’t want to move her feet from the front door. She just stood there like a statue while looking at the closed door.

“Professor Melanie?” Jieun that now walking there said that to her. Sarah, who was next to Jieun just smiled a little there. She also feels guilty seeing her professor condition as her own father is the one who did that to her.

“Ah, both of you are here.” Melanie looked at Jieun then.

Her face clearly looked lethargic and her eyes looked swollen definitely from crying.

“Why are you here? Didn’t you come to see dad?”Jieun asking as she sees Melanie just standing there.

“I already went inside. I just… can’t bring myself to leave.” Melanie said in half truths there. She didn’t want Jieun to be too worried because what happen to Beom-Soo before.

Jieun just smiling there in understanding. She didn’t know the whole story, but she could guess that her father and Melanie had a close relationship a while back.

“You’re not sleeping? You look worse than me right now.” Melanie deliberately asked even though she already knew about it.

Sarah shook her head to Melanie, telling in silent about Jieun. She also felt worried seeing her friend’s condition.

“I… try to. But I just can’t.” Jieun honestly tell her there.

“Did both of you already have breakfast?” Melanie is asking there abruptly.

Both Jieun and Sarah shook their heads at one.

“Can you accompany me for that? I feel so hungry right now.” Melanie pleaded her student there.

Jieun however, although she didn’t feel like eating she wasn’t willing to say no to Melanie at the time.

“You need to eat something too Jieun. You barely eat anything. I’m worried if you also collapse later.” Sarah advised there.

With that Jieun just nodded. She also doesn’t want them to worry too much about her.  Later, the three of them started moving to the hospital cafe.

After eating a little, when Jieun wasn’t looking, Melanie puts something inside her drink there, but Sarah was aware of it. Melanie put her index finger in her mouth to Sarah, asking her to keep quiet about that. Sarah, who could guess her professor’s purpose continued to act as if she didn’t realize anything there.

“What happen to the investigation? Did the police still come and ask both of you things?” Melanie deliberately asked there while waiting for her plan to succeed.

“They just asked me things at the hospital before and didn’t come to find me afterwards.” Jieun replied.

“I need to go to the police station this afternoon. They need to question me again.” Sarah said there but didn’t look bothered with that.

“Don’t worry. You won’t be charged with anything. Just answer the question well. You will be just fine.” Melanie said to Sarah.

Sarah is smiling there and nodded.

“I didn’t really care what will happen to me actually. What’s important is that evil old man can’t hurt people ever again.” Sarah said still feeling angry there. “I’m sorry. Because of him…”

“You don’t have to say that Sarah. You are also already going through so much.” Melanie said there. Interrupting the girl’s words.

“But still, I feel guilty.”

“No need to feel that way. You were here with me is already enough.” Jieun said that while holding Sarah’s hand in there.

“Thank you.” Only that she could say.

At the time, Jieun suddenly feel sleepy and dizzy. Slowly she pulled back her hand that was holding Sarah and started holding her head there.

“What’s wrong? Jieun?” Sarah asks there even though she got the idea why.

“I… don’t feel so good.” Jieun said that before she finally collapse and Melanie catches her right on time before she fall to the floor.

“Sorry Jieun. I have to do this.” Melanie, who is worried with Jieun, decide to give her sleeping pill there so that she can finally rest. Sleeping without worrying about anything.

Melanie also thinks there if Jieun meets Eun-Woo, maybe she can find her lost strength back. Eun-woo also must be getting restless seeing Jieun that faint too long there.

“Is she going to be alright?” Sarah asks Melanie there.

“She will be fine. But can you help me to get a wheelchair so that we can push Jieun to my hospital room. I will take care of her there.” Melanie had to ask for Sarah’s help there as she can’t move much.. Sarah without much question continued to go looking for what her professor wanted at that time.
