Karin looked at Mike's sweaty face shortly after he changed the young man's clothes. Karin cupped her palm on Mike's forehead. Mike's face looked red.
Quickly, Karin takes the water to compress Mike, hoping to bring his fever down soon. A moment later Karin took the medicine and gave it to the young man.
Mike was seen lying weak all night and all night Karin accompanied Mike by the bed.
Every now and then Karin can hear Mike rummaging to call someone's name.
"Ellie, Ellie," Mike raved.
Karin listened carefully as she continued to stare at Mike's face.
"Who's Ellie?" lirih Karin spoke alone.
...****************...
Evening changed the morning, Mike was already looking better that morning. However, just as Mike opened his eyes, Karin was no longer there.
Mike weakly, staggered towards the bathroom. His body felt heavy with his head still feeling dizzy.
Mike rinsed his body with water. Slowly, she begins to remember what happened to her in the office with Claire.
Mike immediately called Claire shortly after coming out of the bathroom.
"Hello, honey. How are you?" greet Claire with a flirtatious tone from behind the phone.
"My answer is Claire, did we do something last night?"
"Geez Mike, you're forgetting our momentous moment again."
"The answer to my question, Claire," snarled Mike.
"If you're curious, you can come to my house. I'll make sure you never forget me again" Claire pleaded.
"The crazy woman" Mike replied, hanging up the phone and scooping his face rough.
"Mike" said Karin suddenly from behind.
Mike rounded his eyes, he looked shocked when he saw Karin in front of him.
"Why Mike?" said Karin with a tray in her hand.
"I just arrived. How are you doing?. Are you still having a fever?" said Karin while cupping her palm on Mike's forehead.
"It looks like you've improved," Karin smiled in relief.
"What happened to me Karin?"
Karin also explains that Mike was seriously ill when he was delivered home by Claire last night. Even Mike seemed helpless all night. Karin kept it all night.
Karin asks Mike about his relationship with Claire.
"Mike, do you see Claire often?" tanya Karin opened the conversation.
"Yes, I see him often, but only to discuss work" said Mike as he sipped a warm tea at the table.
"Did you guys do something last night that I can't know about?"
Deg
Mike was aghast, trying to digest Karin's direction.
Mike gulps his saliva roughly as Karin shows Claire's lipstick marks stuck to her shirt. Even the scent of Claire's perfume still smelled clear there.
"I'm really disappointed in you, Mike. I hate people like you!"
Karin immediately threw Mike's shirt and left the room in a fit of rage.
"Karin..Karin, listen to my explanation first," Mike said shortly after chasing Karin.
"What's Mike's explanation?, the explanation that you've been sleeping together, is that it?"
"Listen to me, Karin. Last night I did meet Claire but we didn't do anything. I swear. I just.I just..,"
Shit, I don't remember anything after that, Mike whispered inwardly.
"Why Mike?. You don't remember anything?. You jerk" Karin said before closing the door to her room right in Mike's face.
Mike yells in frustration while continuing to call Karin from behind the door. Their quarrels continued.
