Chapter 126 - Early discharge (2/2)

This was starting to annoy Jinhee for an unknown reason. If it was a month ago, Jinhee would have preferred the silent Taehee, but growing used to her chattering, Jinhee felt empty without it.

"Why are you so quiet?" Jinhee questioned in a soft voice.

"Don't you hate how noisy I can be?" Taehee questioned with a smile on her face.

"That was true, but I am not sure anymore," Jinhee mumbled to herself,  and it was too low to reach Taehee's ears.

"But you don't need to force yourself," Jinhee voiced out, "Feel free to talk."

"I don't want to inconvenience you. Moreover, you're the patient here," Taehee voiced out before placing half of the apple piece from earlier into Jinhee's mouth.

Chewing and swallowing down the piece, Jinhee stared up at Taehee and spoke out, "I won't be inconvenienced if you talk at this moment."

Turning the other side, Jinhee hid her reddened cheeks. Looking at the shy Jinhee, Taehee's smile got wider.

'My little squirrel is really too cute!'

"I can't stay here at the hospital and have to leave," Taehee spoke out, "I'll visit you tomorrow morning then!"

"Tomorrow morning?" Jinhee questioned, "Don't you have exam tomorrow morning?"

"Exam, hmm..." Taehee spoke out.

With a smile on her face, Taehee voiced out, "Well, I'm skipping that. I didn't like these exams in the first place, and now, I have an excuse to skip them."

'I don't want to be your partner in crime.'

"I don't want any visits in the morning since I'll be busy sleeping," Lee Jinhee vocalised.

"It's alright; You can sleep," Taehee spoke out, "I enjoy watching you sleep."

"No, you'll be attending the exams," Jinhee voiced out.

"I can't do that! You need someone to take care of you," Taehee spoke out.

"There are doctors and nurses here, and I don't exactly need you."

"Lee Jinhee, are you replacing me?" Taehee gasped whilst trying to look hurt.

"Are you even worth replacing?" Jinhee retorted.
