Chapter 89
I froze, keeping my gaze fixed on the figure looking down at me with that blank expression.
Wasn’t this the same Guardian of Tae-won who’d advised me to be careful even with my own thoughts? And yet here I was, watching my words come true—a situation entirely of my own making.
It really did seem like the Guardian had orchestrated something to bring the Healer here after all.
The Guardian of Tae-won remarks that this is precisely what people mean when they say words become fate, and tilts their head slightly to glance at the Arbiter of Truth, still crouched in the corner.
The Arbiter of Truth mutters that they can’t know everything about themselves, then steals glances at the other Awakener and quietly rises to their feet.
I’m sorry, Guardian, but I already said that…
Truthfully, the Guardian had been quiet before, but something about their reaction now felt slightly off. That suspicion, however, was quickly swallowed by another sound filling the silence.
“Ugh…”
The problem was that it came out as a low sigh.
Seo Do-hyeok then traced the line running up my right arm to check the IV bag once, before abruptly pulling out the small round stool that had been sitting beside the bed and dropping into it.
“What are you doing?”
I asked naturally, but Seo Do-hyeok merely furrowed his brow slightly and gently grasped my right wrist. I could easily guess what he was about to do.
No doubt he was about to channel his Healing Power out of habit.
“Hey, wait—!”
So I naturally bent my right arm, trying to pull my wrist free from his grip, but I was a fool.
“Stay still. You’re bleeding.”
…
Yes, what kind of idiot forgets for a moment that there’s an injection needle stuck in their own arm? Because of that, blood began to bead in the previously clear IV line.
My right arm eventually slipped downward again under Seo Do-hyeok’s hand. Lying slightly turned on my side, I weakly gripped his wrist with my free hand and opened my mouth.
“I’m really fine, so don’t strain yourself.”
“I’m not.”
“It’s just a cold or something, right?”
I’d naturally expected him to ask why, so I started to pull out the answer I’d prepared—then stopped. I stared at Seo Do-hyeok with a bewildered look, still holding my wrist, still watching me intently.
“I’m not straining myself,” he repeated.
There was something so firm in his tone that it almost felt like he was trying to reassure me. Was it just my imagination that he reminded me of Cha Yu-hyeon in that moment?
Remembering the pharmacy incident, his unusually compliant attitude only filled me with questions. I still hadn’t figured out what exactly was going on between Seo Do-hyeok and Cha Yu-hyeon.
In the end, I was the one who pulled my hand away from his wrist first, asking in a weakened voice.
“Then… are you hurt somewhere?”
I knew that was a stupid question. Seo Do-hyeok laughed softly the moment he heard it.
After all, Hunters who’d Awakened as Healers rarely even caught the common cold.
Still, I’d been worried whether that humid air we’d both faced during the class exhibition match might have affected even someone like him in some subtle way.
“Don’t be ridiculous.”
Of course, that concern vanished the instant I heard his reply, delivered with such a perfectly healthy complexion.
“Then why…?”
“It got hot during training earlier at the Training Grounds.”
With those words, the familiar warmth that had been transmitting through my right wrist suddenly cut off.
What naturally came into my view next was Seo Do-hyeok tapping the thin silver band around his left wrist with the index finger of his right hand.
Oh, now that I think about it…
My eyes rolled around for a moment before I swept my gaze across the small side table beside the bed and the white curtains enclosing this space, then fixed my eyes back on Seo Do-hyeok.
How could I have overlooked that?
It must have been because my poor condition today had left my mind sluggish.
So through the band on my own left wrist, a real-time Vital Check was being conducted. During today’s maze in the Training Grounds, each student’s data would have been transmitted somewhere.
If so, the most likely place for that information to arrive first—and the place most directly relevant—would be here, the Infirmary, which houses the Academy’s necessary medical facilities.
Well, even the brightest lamp casts the darkest shadow beneath it.
I’d been wondering if anyone could really just come and go from this public place with such critical information, but then again, that accessibility could be exploited in reverse.
Anyway, Seo Do-hyeok really is a broken character.
Understanding the situation at once, I let out a helpless laugh. It was now certain that this man was responsible for what had sent goosebumps racing up my forearm earlier.
Unbelievable.
As I chuckled again, Seo Do-hyeok’s eyebrows twitched briefly before he spoke.
“What?”
“Just… I’m relieved.”
“About what?”
“That you came here because you weren’t hurt.”
At my casual response, Seo Do-hyeok simply gazed at me without any further reaction or expression.
His eyes weren’t filled with suspicion the way they used to be, but there was something that made it difficult for me to look away so carelessly.
How should I put it? When else would I get to look at his handsome face for this long?—
“Get some rest now. Tell me if anything’s uncomfortable.”
His low voice cut through at just the right moment, saving me from thoughts that were sliding in an unsavory direction. If I were to mention that his tone sounded gentler than usual…
I’m losing it.
By this point, it was certain—my mind was anything but sound. I settled back onto the bed and fixed my gaze on the dark ceiling.
‘There’s nothing particularly uncomfortable about it, really.’
If I had to pick one thing, it would be the faint rustling beside me—someone’s presence that showed no sign of waking, which was what bothered me slightly.
Then, for a moment, I thought that this subtle noise was better than the oppressive silence from before.
Perhaps that was why.
“…….”
I slowly lifted eyelids whose closure I hadn’t noticed, moving only my eyes side to side quietly.
‘What’s this.’
When did I fall asleep?
And the ceiling of the Infirmary, which had been nothing but dark, was now subtly bright. Moreover, the chills that had tormented my whole body and the hot breath I’d felt filling my mouth had both largely subsided.
Yet what was this growing unease?
It was the kind of feeling you get when you wake with a refreshingly clear mind after a long time, only to find the world around you too quiet, and sunlight streaming through the window with a gentle warmth.
‘Am I late?’
The moment Hye-rin’s face crossed my mind, I quickly pulled back the thin blanket that had covered me to my chin and sat up.
At the same time, I felt a dull pain in my right arm and looked toward it.
“……Ha.”
Without meaning to, a bitter laugh escaped me. Well, I could see someone—face buried in their arms, bent over at the edge of the bed.
‘Isn’t that uncomfortable?’
Sleeping in that position on a chair would make your back murder. But more than that, the real question was why they were still here instead of going back to the Dormitory. What was I thinking.
“Seo Do-hyeok.”
I spoke softly, reaching out to tap his shoulder with a careful hand. Yet he didn’t stir at all—asleep too deeply.
Gripped by a sense that I was definitely going to be late, I was about to shake him awake when—
—the curtain swept back with a crisp sound, and the figure of the School Nurse I’d grown familiar with from seeing her once at night came into view.
“You’re up? How’s your body feeling?”
“Ah, much better, thank you.”
I bowed my head slightly in gratitude, and the School Nurse alternated her gaze between me and Seo Do-hyeok, still bent over, before letting out a short laugh and continuing.
“A Healer, you say? That wasn’t the work of a beginner.”
“……Pardon?”
I reflexively questioned the cryptic remark, and the School Nurse folded her arms, gesturing briefly toward something. Only then could I properly examine the area around my right arm.
Where the injection needle had been was now covered with white cotton and medical tape.
“He came by at dawn and hooked up another IV bag, and when I came to remove it just now, someone had already done it.”
“…….”
“It’s hard to find young people like this these days. He’s a good one. Oh, and even if he stops by the Dormitory on his way, there’s time, so don’t worry.”
I sat in silence listening to the School Nurse’s offhand words, watching the black hair recede as her presence moved away.
‘Is he doing this on purpose?’
This meant I owed Seo Do-hyeok another debt. Though I grumbled inwardly about it, the fact that not all of it felt unwelcome was peculiar to me.
With a tingle at my fingertips, I clenched my fist as hard as I could.
‘Sigh—’
Really, what was I supposed to do with this man I couldn’t hate.
