Mama Yeh III
Sugar coatedSoojin sneezes a couple of times and goes into the bathroom for a tissue, when she returns Shuhua is looking at her worriedly
-You are sick
-That's impossible. I can't get sick
-The way you are flushed tells me otherwise
-It's probably an allergy to these papers, let´s finish it
Shuhua giggled
-Who is the workaholic now?
Soojin pouts and Shuhua walks up to her and puts her hand on her forehead
-You are hot
-I'm ho
Soojin coughed and sneezed again and Shuhua sighed
-Maybe you should go home
-I´m fine, let´s finish this because we will have lunch with your family in a few days
-One more reason for you to go home and rest, you won't be able to stay close to Dandan and Mama if you're sick
Soojin sighed because Shuhua was right, Dandan was pregnant and she would feel bad about giving her the flu and as for Mrs. Yeh... Soojin had the slightest suspicion that Mrs Yeh was pretending to be sick, on the days when Mrs. Yeh was undergoing chemotherapy she locked herself in the house after the session and refused to receive visitors claiming to be tired, but on other days she looked health and in a good mood, and until now she hadn't lost her hair, Soojin didn't know if everyone who undergoes chemotherapy loses their hair but Mrs Yeh's hair looked intact under the scarves she wore on her head and another fact that made Soojin suspicious was the fact that Shuhua could only talk to Mrs Yeh's doctor by text or call, coincidentally or not Ms. Yeh's appointments were on days when Shuhua had important meetings... Soojin had the slight impression that Mrs. Yeh might be lying but she had decided not to say anything to Shuhua, the CEO was spending more time with her mother, working less and they had become…friends? Would that be the correct term? Soojin couldn't say, she only knew that she and Shuhua spent a lot of time together outside the company, whether it was dinners with Mrs. Yeh, or going to the movies or the ice cream parlor at night.
-Fine, I go
-Good
Shuhua said as she walked over to her desk and grabbed her purse and cell phone.
-What you are doing?
Soojin asked as soon as she saw Shuhua with her bag
-I'll take you home
-You don't have to do that, I can take a taxi
-Jin ah,you're pale, I don't want to risk you getting sick in a taxi
-But
-No buts, get your things
Soojin followed Shuhua through the hallways, Shuhua told the secretary that she needed to go out and to call her cell phone if she needed anything. Soojin ended up falling asleep on the way home, she vaguely remembered Shuhua stopping somewhere to get something but she wasn't sure, she only woke up when she heard Shuhua calling her
-Jin ah, what's your apartment?
Soojin blinked her eyes a few times and turned extremely red when she noticed that Shuhua was carrying her in her arms.
-I slept... I'm sorry
Soojin tried to free herself from Shuhua's arms but she just held on tighter.
-What is your apartment number Jin ah?
-Apartment 10, the entrance password is
Shuhua typed the password and entered the building with Soojin, the secretary just let herself be enveloped by the warmth emanating from her boss and the delicious smell of peaches
-Jin ah, the door code
Soojin said the code, Shuhua typed it in and it adjusted in her arms while she mad her way to her bedroom, depositing Soojin gently on the bed
-I brought an antipyretic and a medicine for the flu
-You did? When?
-You were asleep in the car, do you want to get changed into something more comfortable?
-Can you take my pajamas from the drawer?
Shuhua opened the drawer and found white pajamas with drawings of cherries on them.
-Your pajamas are cute
Soojin blushed and reached out to take them while Shuhua stood there watching her.
-Shu
-Hmm?
-I need to change
Immediately Shuhua widened her eyes.
-Right right, I'll get you some water
Shuhua quickly left the room and Soojin put on her pajamas, it didn't take long for Shuhua to come back with a glass of water, she put the glass on the nightstand and run the humidifier
-Do you want to eat something?
-I had breakfast...
-It's almost lunch time
-I´m not hungry
-You need to eat something
-Later
Soojin took her medicine and Shuhua straightened her pillow and blanket
-Rest Jin ah, I'm not going anywhere
Soojin tried to argue but her bed was so warm and comfortable that she fell asleep.
A few hours later when Soojin woke up her
