Chapter 89 - THE CONTRACEPTIVE INJECTION

"Professor Melanie?" 

Jieun who is now arrived at the said professor office, knocking on the front door a few times. She can't here anything from the outside making she wonder if the professor is there or not.  Then her doubt is vanish as the Professor's voice now was vaguely heard from inside.

"Come in Jieun!  Just sit or make your own tea or coffee.  I will be right there in a sec."

Jieun immediately turned the door knob and found that her favorite  professor was not there, but she can hear the sound of tidying up in the store room which was quite far into the room. Seeing that, Jieun just make herself comfortable sitting on the existing chair and waiting there.

In a few moments, the professor was seen coming out of the store room with a bit of tangled hair there and in her hand carry out full of stacking boxes that were high until her face even was not visible there.

Jieun in fast getting up and help her lifting some of boxes that almost fell.

"Oh, thank you very much dear." Melanie said with smiling. Even if Jieun can't see her face yet.

"What's with all this professor?" Jieun asks a question as the area is now full with sealing box also some uncovered box which she can see the contents in there look like a research paper.

"Phew! It's so heavy! I should ask Byung-Hun to help me with all of this. Why on earth I volunteer to do this myself?!" Melanie didn't answer Jieun, as she is too preoccupied with her complaining about her own self. She sat on the chair with heavy grunts, letting go of the fatigue first.

Jieun let out a little chuckle seeing that. Her professor is so funny the more she knows her. Her personalities are not scary at all unlike her first impression of her before. But she is a very charismatic woman.

After a few seconds of resting, Melanie finally faced Jieun that faithfully await her there while smiling.

"All of this is a research paper that Byung-Hun and I were working on while we are working in the military secret research. While the lab is still there of course. There is also research from other researchers inside here that we can make a use. This papers is the one that was saved before the building crashes into the ground because of the fire. Which I already told you about before."

"So this is all about the rainbow meteor right?" Jieun saying that with big eyes.  No wonder there was paper that seemed to burn in a bit there. She is feeling excited all of the sudden.

"This is only a part of the whole things. There's more research being done at the time, but the results already burn at the time. But better this than nothing. All of this I will send by myself later to Byung-Hun's house and you can start reading in there. And don't get me wrong, I have many more research papers in Byung-Hun's house. I will ask him to let you read that also. Who knows you might find something we are all overlooked. " Melanie is humble even though she has been in the field for a long time now. She never underestimates even on the young, fresh generation. 

"After all, I know you must be curious and want to know more about all of this right?" Melanie guessed. She actually already knew the true nature of the girl in front of her.  She probably stays up all night to satisfy her curiosity and try to read all of the research paper. 

"Of course!" Jieun eyes began to shine because she was too excited about it.  Can't even hide her joy.

"So... How is your newlywed life?" Professor Melanie continues to ask about that while raising her chin on the table. Her eyebrows were also moved up and down repeatedly to tease her student there.

"Professor!" Jieun happy face before now turns into crimson red now. She is totally feeling shy to talk about that.

"Tch! Looking at your face and your behavior something must be happen between both of you huh?" Melanie was still teasing while laughing there.

"Stop teasing me!" Jieun said like she was sulking. Both of them were already close as if family now. So they sometime talk in informal manner. As long as its not during college time in class.

"Ah, its must be good to be young. Even married. I'm seriously jealous." Melanie said that looking serious there.

"You can get married to a professor. You're still young and pretty. There must be a lot of guys chasing after you." Jieun didn't say that just to butter her, but she is stating the fact as many male lecturers there are indeed trying to approach the woman. It just, Professor Melanie clearly keeps ignoring all of them.

"I don't deny that. I am popular." Melanie was not shy to admit, but grinning , as shyness suddenly creep up to her. 

"But, I am married. It's just... too complicated to talk about that." She said that after looking at Jieun so keenly.

If Jieun didn't know better, she will think that sentence is true. Because the woman did not immediately indicate that she was acting or dishonest they're. Her eyes also showing some truth there.

Looking at Jieun frustrated face, once again Melanie burst into laughing.

"Oh my! Look at your face. You are not believing in that right?" Melanie said while trying to slow down her laugh now.

"Well, you said that too seriously. Of course I feel like I should believing you." Jieun replied but she also laughs after.

"I am married, but with my imaginary husband. If someone out there is more perfect than him I probably can consider dating or even get married. But according to the statistics, to get a good man now, is like one in a hundred which its hard for me in this age to even try to find. Not many people as sweet as Eun-Woo anyway. " Melanie explains making Jieun finally out of her frustrated zone.

"No, I believe someone must be out there for you. Just it's not the right time yet for him to appear." Jieun confidently said that, breaking the professor's words earlier. She believes in destiny anyway.

"Tch, what a good way to say. Anyway, youre going to live in Byung-Hun house started today right? " Melanie kept asking after looking at Jieun seem not to know what else to chat.

"Yes, I am. Dad will pick me up in a moment and he will take me straight there." Jieun told her the plan.

"Since we come to this, I want to ask you something more personal. You might feel surprised, but this is important. And I want you to be completely honest with me." Suddenly the conversation changed to more serious.

"What do you want to ask? Sound too serious." Jieun finally let out her curiosity. "It is serious as it probably effect the future. Your future." Melanie said as she moved to the back of the cabinet to pick up something.

Jieun can see  at the time that the professor took some of her  medical equipment and laid it on the table next to her.

Having finished with whatever she was doing, Melanie then refocused on Jieun.

"So now. Let me ask you this. Do you and Eun-Woo has any sex yet?" Melanie asks that with her professional tone, making Jieun who feel ashamed with it, know that the professor ask her as a doctor now.

"We are not." Jieun said it in fast. It's easy because it is the truth. Although her face is blushing madly now. Feeling warm all over her body of the sudden.

Melanie smiles there. She knows that even the couple didn't do the sex, she know something might happen or why on earth the girl is blushing there.

"Okay. In that case, it is not too late for me to give you an injection then." Melanie said that while wearing her medical gloves now.

"Injection? For what?" Jieun not understand.

"Because we don't know when and how you and Eun-Woo will forever return to this world, also it may not happen now, but you and Eun-Woo will probably get to that 'sex party' sooner or later. So as a precaution you need to get the contraceptive injection to prevent pregnancy. "

Jieun blinking her eyes there trying to process everything inside her mind.

"Because Aera is pregnant on you while she is going back here and there in  repeat. Things are exhausted for her, also, that might be reason you are existed there. I know I seem to be forcing you for this but you must not want your child to continue suffered the same fate, right? Even though we don't know if it will happen or not. Better this than sorry. " Melanie explains why she did that. 

Reminiscent of the moments of hardship and confusion, she experienced when she first entered Dream Land, Jieun continued to nod understandingly. She didn't want her child to be in that position. She might be lucky to have so many people helping her, but in the future who knows what will happen if her child experiences that. Who is going to help? She didn't want to even think about that.

"Then I take it." Jieun finally say her approval and get ready.

With that Melanie approached her. Rub some painkillers on the girl's shoulder and start injecting her with the medicine. Jieun wrinkled her face there a little to hold the pain.

"Done. You might feel some side effects, but some people don't experience it."

"Thank you.."Jieun said while her hand pressed the injection site earlier with a cotton swab so that the blood quickly stopped.
