"See? You are really stupid. Aside from not knowing where they are, you are still not feeling well. How can you go there? Get rest first." Bai Min said while writing a prescription. He then showed the list to her, "Don't miss any of this else. Your plan will be delayed."
Han Jie looked at the prescription with great difficulty. She don't like medicine, and her friend knew it. 'Baahoohoo! But there are so many…' She could not help but cry inside.
"Arg! What's that for?" Han Jie looked at Bai Min aggrieve after he flicked her forehead.
Bai Min snorted, "Don't think about skipping any of those. If you want to see your sister without telling your father or Han Jun, you must get well soon." He said, before releasing a heavy sigh.
"Yeah, you are right." Han Jie felt dejected, "Cutie pie, why do you think I am so weak? To the point of fainting, when I see someone scary as Suzuki Kyou," She asked, feeling annoyed both in herself and him as well.
'Bad Master Shu! I will make you suffer later! You will receive retribution for bullying my sister!' Han Jie vowed to herself.
"Cause you are lazy!" Bai Min yelled with a glare.
Han Jie was upset, "Oy! Doctor Quakquak! I am not lazy!" She retorted.
"Shut up! You know this better than yourself." Bai Min said, reprimanding, "Since you refused to accept, I will explain to you. Since college, you don't like going out. Even on the campus, you don't go out. You are just inside the classroom or the library. You don't even care about the gossips. That is why you got-" he suddenly halted and looked at Han Jie weirdly. He released a heavy sigh when he realized that she was not really that paying attention. 'Thank goodness.'
"Oy! Listen to me, or I won't help you!" Bai Min shouted.
Han Jie snapped from her thoughts and looked him with a pout. "Okay, go on, Al' mighty Doctor Bai…" She said cheekily.
Bai Min glared at her, "I mean, since you don't go out. Sun is vitamins! Instead of walking and doing a little exercise, you would rather stay at home and be a pampered princess. Isn't your sister's responsibility before shopping for your own clothes? If this is not lazy, then what? You don't have any exercise. That is why you are weak!"
"Oh… So exercise is the key?" Han Jie nervously asked as if she was afraid of the answer.
He snorted, "It is the key for a longer life." Bai Min glared at her, "I also told you to do a full-body check recently, right? Why is it that you haven't done it yet?"
Han Jie nodded with a helpless smile on her face. She knew Bai Min was already worried for her. In truth, she forgot about the full body checkup since she was busy lately with all the quick and sudden plans.
He released a heavy sigh, "I will check my connections."
"Really?! You are amazing!"
"This is not free!" He retorted unhappily. If he could not find the person they need through his contact, Bai Min was considering asking help from his family. 'The lengths I do to help you,' he thought to himself as he glared at her.
"Are you still mad? Don't be! Come on, let this aunty kiss your worries away…" Han Jie said as she was moving closer to Bai Min while making a kissing sound.
Bai Min pushed her head away, "Stop that. By the way, what's with that biatch outside?" Bai Min suddenly asked.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Han Jie was not sure what he was talking about.
Bai Min annoyingly snorted, "I am talking about the Wang girl that your grumpy cousin was trying to please."
"Wang, girl?" Han Jie thinks twice. There was really someone else earlier. Then her eyes brightened, "Is it Wang Jin?"

After a few minutes after…
Wang Jin still stood at the edge of the room, acting like a spoiled princess, and she was owed something since she was there. Han Jie scoffed silently at the idea of owing Wang Jin later.
She was sure the only way to find Suzuki Kyou quickly was her. Han Jie probably could use the woman to have Suzuki Kyou away for some time so she can rescue her sister, right?
Han Jie looked at her weakly around the room and caught Bai Min's eyes. He gave her a slight nod.
Yeah, let's go with the plan, Han Jie thought.
Han Jie gave him a small smile before talking to Wang Jin. "Thank you for visiting me. I really appreciate it." She said as she tried to get up from the bed.
Bai Min frowned and was supposed to walk towards Han Jie to help her get up. They had already talked that she will try to accommodate Wang Jin and see if she can find more details regarding Suzuki Kyou's house. He intended to listen to it.
However, Han Jun caught his hand before he could take another step further and pulled him out of the room.
Han Jie looked at them with confusion, wondering what Han Jun was doing. Her cousin really surprises her today.
Though she needed Bai Min, she also knew he has his own worried. It is not bad for Han Jun to get him away for a while so she can talk to Wang Jin.
Bai Min had been efficient and level headed despite his own worries. Han Jie knew as well that Han Jun called Bai Min because she don't want to go to the hospital. She didn't know when.
Han Jie had never been so grateful to have her cousin close by and Bai in close by.
She gets closer to Wang Jin, a small smile on her face. "I really appreciate it." Han Jie said sincerely.
Wang Jin grinned at Han Jie as she stared at the other woman's painful progress towards her. 'Drama queen.' She thought as she barely restrained herself from rolling her eyes. 'I can't believe she's not letting me stay.' Wang Jin thought bitterly.
She wanted to stomp her foot and rant bitterly about how Han Jie was such a terrible person for fooling everyone that she is her twin sister. But Wang Jin knew nobody was going sympathize with her. They'll all jump into conclusions and try to tear Wang Jin apart instead if she doesn't have enough proof.
'I will take care of them myself.' Wang Jin thought as Han Jie stopped in front of her. Wang Jin took a small step forward and hugged her.
"Are you really okay to get up?" Wang Jin asked with a whisper, sounding genuinely concerned.
"Yeah, sure." Han Jie said as she rolled her eyes after hugging Wang Jin back. "Sorry to bother you today. I will need some more rest, so for now. But I will accompany until downstairs? I'm really sorry." She said.
Wang Jin leaned away from Han Jie, still gripping her shoulders almost painfully.
"Walk me down?" Wang Jin asked as she quickly modified her plans. She had planned to use the garage stairs, but she'd have to manage a couple of stairs from here.
Han Jie had made an enemy out of her, and Wang Jin was going to punish her, trying to get close to Suzuki Kyou happened.
"Walk?" Han Jie started to ask in trepidation. "The elevator works, you know." Han Jie asked with a sparkle of mischief.
Wang Jin laughed like Han Jie had cracked an extraordinary joke. 'Foolish, naive girl.' Wang Jin thought, relishing the joy of inflicting pain on the girl.
"It's to give us time to chat deary. I'm sure you know how efficient these elevators are. It wouldn't give us enough time to catch up." Wang Jin said. She was genuine this time. She wanted to know if Han Jie was going to open up to her. Wang Jin hid her malicious smile by biting her lips. She couldn't wait to kick Han Jie while she was down.
Han Jie searched Wang Jin's eyes as if she was looking for something.
"Okay, then. Let's go. But I wouldn't be able to go down all the way." Han Jie said, apparently satisfied with whatever she had found in Wang Jin's eyes.
