Chapter 41. Two Lives (5)

"So, do you think it could be an infection?" JunKoo asks the doctor sitting right in front of us.

"Well, based on the symptoms, we can't rule out that possibility, so for now, I'll request some blood tests, and I advise you both to do the others as soon as possible," the doctor replies.

"Can't we do all of them today?" I ask, feeling frustrated. I hate having to go to the doctor multiple times.

"I'm afraid not. Some of them require a twelve-hour fasting period, and by this time," he looks at his wristwatch, "today's fasting window has already passed."

"Oh..." I express my disappointment.

"JaeMin needs to organize a few things for an upcoming trip. Could you schedule our appointments for tomorrow?" JunKoo asks. The doctor nods, typing something on his computer.

"At 8 a.m., is that alright?"

I look at JunKoo and silently seek his opinion.
