Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 167

“What happens in your journey in the world there?”

Melanie asking Jieun there in her secret lab without telling her about Lia of course, as she didn’t want Jieun worries increased.

Today, Melanie decides to check Jieun’s overall health without the necklace. After the incident with Martin before, they realize that Jieun wound disappear quickly after she holding back the necklace, but the wound appear again if she releases it.

Melanie knows its not completely a good sign. A wound, small or large, needs to be treated properly as it may be life threatening if Jieun loses the necklace or should they said bracelet now as Jieun wear in in her wrist since that day.

Jieun, look at her professor there with a dissatisfied look on her face while the professor is trying to see her blood pressure.

“Why is your blood pressure increasing?” Melanie asks and only then she realizes Jieun  sharp eyes to her. She knew now that the girl is still mad at her about what happen in the hospital.

“Do you have something to tell me, professor?” Jieun ask with a very serious tone then.

Melanie just grinned there and started scratching her non -itchy head.

“What? Are you still revengeful against me? Please don’t be angry… Anyone will feel worried seeing you look like a zombie every single day. Beom-Soo also will never wanted you to be that way. But with you now, look a bit excited and energetic, I didn’t regret to give the sleeping pill to you. Seeing Eun-Woo seems like a good medicine for you anyway. ” Melanie began to move her eyebrows up and down there. Want to tease Jieun.

“Tch …” Jieun restrained herself from smiling at that time but her flushed face could not contain her embarrassment. Because what her professor said at that time was true.

Melanie just chuckle seeing her like that before taking Jieun blood pressure back. Seeing the normal line there make her know that Jieun is in a good mood now.

“So … What about that? Your journey. I remember that you said you were on your way to a different land, right?” Melanie asking again as Jieun didnt answer her before. This time, she asks that while taking some tubes of Jieun’s blood to make another test.

“We almost arrived, but as now, each time I am here in this world, my body in there is fainted, they can’t do anything and wait for me to get up first before continuing the journey as they didn’t want anything bad to happen to me. Ah! ” Jieum make a small scream suddenly while told her story as Melanie who heard the story missed the vein.

“Oh my God! I’m sorry.” Melanie frantically placed cotton bud on Jieun’s now bleeding arm.

It’s not like her at all. As long as she became a doctor, this kind of mistake is rare, no, she never makes this kind of mistake, but hearing what Jieun just said make her lose her concentration.

Melanie actually remembers about her conversation with Adele before about Jieun  probably cannot come back into this real world anymore. Is this change a sign? If true, they need to search for the other twin stone as fast as possible. But the one who is now in the hands of their enemies… How can they get it? Do they need to search for others when what they know is already in sight?

“Professor? Are you okay?” Jieun ask the question there after seeing Melanie, who seems to be daydreaming in front of her now. She even needs to shake her body to wake her up.

“Huh? Oh… Sorry. My mind wonders suddenly.”

“Are you shocked hearing about me being fainted there each time I was here?” Jieun make a guess there.

Melanie nodded. Decide just to be honest then.

“As long as I study Aera’s story, there’s no change from her life pattern, but you have changed here and there. I didn’t know if the changes are a good sign or not. Making me feel like worried about you for some reason.”

Jieun who understanding about Melanie condition just smile. She also feels worried about herself, but knowing a lot of people out there also worried about her make her now having a mixed feeling. She didn’t want to burden others about herself, but she also can’t help to feel happy because she always feels their love.

“So, all of them who follow the journey with you already know about you are not from there? What kind of reaction that you got from them?” Melanie was deliberately curious even though she could already guess what was going on.

“All the princes except Eun-Woo feels shocked by that, but they accept it fast. What’s more surprising is Lia and Ayana are also generous in accepting all this and even want to help me as long as they can. I didn’t know what I do in this life which makes me blessed with many good people. ” Jieun say while remembering their warm gesture towards her. She is really feeling blessed.

Melanie also smiling now.

“You are a good person. So of course you deserve any kindness as well.” She then stood and walking in the one corner to put the blood taken from Jieun into the machine that was there.

“Are you ready now?” Melanie asks Jieun there.

Jieun take a deep breath in that moment. Before she comes here in this lab, Melanie already tells her that she needs to let go of her necklace which already turns bracelet there to treat the wound that Martin give her before, also to see if she got another wound that was never being treated properly.

But, as Jieun knows very well how painful her heart is after they got separated, she feels some kind of trauma.

Melanie, who knew what was playing in Jieun’s mind back then just let her to serve her mind now. They both know they need to do this. So if the Jieun need time she will not push her too hard.

At first, Melanie thinks that she should do this when Jieun is unconscious, but she suddenly afraid if there are complications, she tells Jieun that they had to try it while she is in a conscious state first.

Jieun took a few minutes to gather her courage there before she started to get up from her seat and started lying on the bed that was already prepared.

“Are you ready?” Melanie asked there.

Jieun take a deep breath, make herself ready, before nodding. Melanie puts the oxygen mask to Jieun as that is the only thing that could help now if Jieun becoming hard to breathe later as they need to do this while she is awake.

Fully prepared, Melanie put her first aid on her side and then held the bracelet before take it from Jieun.

As soon as she took that, Jieun started sweating coldly and slowly tried to control her breathing which in fast started to become irregular.

Melanie also at the time could see back the wound caused by Martin began to reappear there in Jieun hand and neck. Luckily, it’s not that deep that requires stitching. Properly Melanie disinfects the wound and do whatever she needs, to make sure the wound is properly taken care of.

“Pro… professor…” Jieun send a warning there. She tries to hold on for a while, but this is already her limit.

Finishing fast. Melanie finally puts the magical things back to Jieun’s hand so that she can grasp it again. As fast as lightning, Jieun is back to health. But this is not the only test that they will conduct today.

“Do you want to just relax today and do the other test the other day?” Melanie asks Jieun now, who is now wiping away the tears that are by themselves flowing because of the excruciating pain.  She want Jieun to know that she have another options.

Jieun shake her head there.

“I’m afraid if I walk out of this lab, I probably won’t want to come back again.” She even make a joke while being in that situation.

Melanie rubbed the girl head at the time, softly.

“I’m sorry.” She said.

Jieun shake her head again signifying Melanie doesn’t need to say that.  They are on this together anyway.

“Let’s finish up today and the rest later.” Jieun is determined.

So after that, the lab was full of Jieun’s pain screams here and there every few minutes. Only after every test is done Melanie asks Jieun to hold the bracelet to her neck while she fixes back the chain so Jieun can wear that as necklace again.

“Done!” Melanie said and immediately Jieun who was sitting on a chair at that time, trying very hard to be awake finally fainted but was caught by Melanie at the right time. She just kept hugging her now.

“You have done a good job..” She said, though Jieun couldn’t hear her at the time.
