Chapter 125 - Early discharge

"A party was about to be held this Thursday in order to announce our engagement, but I think that due to your injury that won't be possible," Taeho voiced out from the other side of the phone.

"So, when are you planning to postpone it to?" Jinhee questioned.

"The next week," Taeho answered and then, questioned, "Will that work with you?"

"Sure, I see no problems with that."

Bored out of her mind, Jinhee started scanning her surroundings. It seemed that she was at the VIP ward of the hospital due to the care she was given.

The room was shared by no one, and a vase of lavender was placed on the table beside the bed. The scent of lavender and disinfectants wafted into her nose.

A television was attached to the wall before her, and some drama— that Jinhee grew bored of eventually— played on it.

That's when the door to the room opened, and looking at the door, Jinhee noticed Taehee stepping into the room.

Held within Taehee's hand was a polythene bag, and walking towards Jinhee with a smile on her face, Taehee placed the polythene bag down on the table.

As Taehee sat down on the chair, Jinhee raised her head slightly to look at her and questioned, "Can I get an early discharge?"

"You require at least a week's worth of rest," Taehee voiced out in a calm tone.

"I can recover at the dorms as well," Jinhee pointed out.

"With those girls creating trouble, it will be less efficient. So, stay here," Taehee voiced out whilst trying her best to not curse at those girls.

"I'll be missing the classes, and I won't be able to catch up on them later," Jinhee spoke out.

Catching up on missed classes was hard, and Jinhee did not even attend extra classes or tutoring after school. Regular classes happened beside of the monthly exams.

Since there could be nothing done about the missed exams this time, she did not want to attain a bad marking next time.

Even though it will be not possible for her to write with her hand, she was able to listen to the teachers explaining the subject, and that most definitely will be helpful to Jinhee.

Moreover, injuries like these was not a big deal to Jinhee. Worse wounds were received by Jinhee in her last life, and that time, she did not dare go to a hospital to recuperate at.

"I can hire tutors for you; They will be better than those teachers in our school," Taehee voiced out.

"As I said before, Taehee, I don't want to depend on you," Jinhee spoke out, "I'm not that seriously wounded to be unable to attend the school."

"The entire bookshelf fell down on you! You're lucky that you're alive!" Taehee exclaimed.

"Taehee, it's the books that fell down on me, not the bookshelf," Jinhee pointed out, "And not all books, just a few of them."

"That is too much as well! Do you know how frightened I was? I'm not listening to you this time around," Taehee retorted.

"I'll call the doctor in charge and ask personally," Jinhee stated decisively.

"And don't you dare try to force him!" Jinhee voiced out sternly.

"When can I get a discharge, Doctor Kim?" Jinhee questioned whilst staring at the doctor with a bright smile, trying her best to appear alright.

"It should at least be a week, right Doctor Kim?" Taehee questioned.

Turning towards Taehee, the doctor felt intimidated by the smile on her face and the look in her eyes.

'This Taehee is playing dirty! She knows that no matter how much I try, I can't look as frightening as her!'

"Y-Yes, you need to be here for at least a week," The doctor voiced out whilst fixing his glasses nervously.

The patient could go home before a week was over, but it was Taehee's stare that made him unable to say that.

Her injuries wasn't that serious, and it would take her around ten days for her wrist to recover from the degree of pain.

The wounds on her body was not that deep, and with the help of the crutches, Jinhee could walk properly.

"However, Doctor Kim, my body doesn't hurt that much, and due to some simple injuries, I don't want to miss very important classes," Jinhee voiced out whilst putting emphasis on the word 'very important'.

"This period of school is extremely important, and missing few classes is equivalent to failing. Our school is really stern in that aspect," Jinhee expressed.

The doctor visibly gulped. The patient seemed to be serious about studying, and due to a lie, he could not obstruct her way towards the studies.

Nonetheless, Taehee's intense gaze at him managed to faze the doctor, and the doctor was confused on what decision to take.

"Doctor Kim, studies can be done in any age. But once health is lost, it can't be gained. Right?" Taehee questioned.

'Yah! Han Taehee, that's going too far!'

"But you know how the classmates are these days. They look for every chance to bully you! My situation in situation is not good already." 

Jinhee stared at the ground despondently.
