Chapter 189: So, does he like me now? A few days later, I got the bandages taken off my arm, and Min-Cheol’s shoulder seemed to be better as well. Like I said, the pharmaceutical technology was so advanced. "Your back should’ve been fully healed in a few days but you’ve stressed it so much that you’ve delayed it." Here comes Cha Hyun-woo here to lecture me with that irritating tone of his but for the first time, I was actually not annoyed by that tone. I smiled. "Well, It’s just a week delay, right?" I said. "I’m not complaining and... Thank you for your hard work, doc." My smile grew wider, and I could’ve sworn I saw a flush on his cheek, but he turned his head right away, not allowing me to take a closer look and confirm what I had seen. What’s this? Was he smitten already? "You..." Hyun-woo began, but he looked uncertain about what he was about to say, so he didn’t make eye contact and talked in a low tone. "Something feels different about you." He muttered. Ah, he must’ve noticed. I was more genuine with my expressions and was more at peace, so of course, there was something different about me. "Today, I’m going to go with Little Min to check out the new baseball court." I said, "That’s okay, right?" "You’ve been doing whatever you like up until now. Why are you asking me that now?" He asked and I smiled happily. "I don’t want my doctor to keep nagging me so I’ll listen to his advice." I said and once again, I saw the flush. What was this now? It was actually fun. "Ahem," he cleared his throat, trying to dismiss the flush. "You’re almost healed, and your hands are fine now, so you can go about doing whatever." He said. "Even doing strenuous things won’t be a problem but since you’re naturally physically weak, try not to stress yourself too much." He said and I nodded. "You’ll end up fainting again if you do." "Haha, I wouldn’t want that to happen." I said. "My masters will only worry more and I can’t have that." Cha Hyun-woo paused for a minute and then turned to me. I saw the flush this time. It was small, but it was a color on this dull, pretty face doctor that was hard to ignore. ’So, does he like me now? When did that start?’ Since I was unconscious most of the time he treated me, I couldn’t even think of it. Then, did he just like me as a human being, since he didn’t naturally like humans to begin with? Well, it’s one improvement I wouldn’t want to ignore. "Hwang Jo-Pil," he called and opened his mouth to talk nit then twisted it as he turned away, saying no more. He definitely looked like he had something to tell me but he suddenly backed out. "What is it, Doc?" Was he just too shy to say it? What was it? "It’s nothing." Gah, I hate that. "But, do you take the supplements I gave you?" He asked. "Four days ago, I saw the things on your neck so I assumed that you’re already doing things like that." Ah, he was talking about the hickeys. He probably saw it after I fainted. "You should take it so you can conserve your stamina. You’re already frail and weak, and it doesn’t seem like they’ll be able to hold back when..." "Alright, stop stop. It’s embarrassing to hear you say it." I immediately cut him short, my face flushing heavily. I knew exactly what he meant so he didn’t need to spell it all out. We weren’t even having sex yet, and I got that hickey in a make-out section so it was fine. But... "Yes, I’m taking the supplements." I can’t exactly tell him that I don’t plan to have sex with them any time soon since it won’t seem normal that I was the one calling the shots. I already told him that they were waiting for me to be ready and with this hickey as proof, it seemed like I was ready. I don’t need to talk much. He won’t understand anyway. "Then, that’s good. If you run out, let me know and I’ll give you another." He said and I twisted my lips, contemplating. He was being excessively friendly and was speaking in a friendly tone as well. I don’t believe he became like this because of Seo-Jun’s scolding or did it have something to do with that flush on his cheek? Hmmm, I couldn’t get it even if I wanted to since he was a complicated character, but... "Why are you being so nice all of a sudden?" As soon as I asked that, he paused, surprised, and I was equally surprised. The question slipped out of my mouth before I realized it. I didn’t plan to ask him. I mean, given his character, he wouldn’t even attempt to answer and would just ignore me. But contrary to what I thought, he actually responded. "It seems like I was very awful to you." He said. ’Seems?’ Now that’s an understatement. "Like I said before, I don’t like humans in general and only work when there’s huge money on the table. I’m lazy as well and bad at communicating." That’s not something you hear from your everyday doctor but okay. "But I realized I might’ve been excessively harsh on you and acted out of line, trying to blame you for things that should originally be my fault." Yeah, he did that a couple of times. "And force things on you without a proper explanation. Neither of that is normal, and I know it, but I just wanted to make it so that I don’t..." He darted his eyes away, nervously. Okay, big boy. Don’t stop there. Keep talking. I need to hear the end of your words if I’m going to understand you better. I hope there’s no interruption because it’s time to figure out Doctor Cha Hyun-woo. "I didn’t want to commit a sin by getting attached to you." I blinked. And then blinked again before my eyes widened. Did he just say what I thought he said? And what was with that awkwardly nervous expression on his face? It was almost as if he was confessing his feelings or something. Wait, he said the reason he acted like that was because he didn’t want to commit a sin by getting attached to me. So, the reason he was nice to me now... I gulped... Was it because he was already attached to me? Just looking at his reaction, I could already conclude that my thoughts were right. Cha Hyun-woo... Liked me.
