NovelEnglishChapter 11: Misses everything
BACK AT THE HOSPITAL
Eun-Sun was still laid at the fetal position. A myriad of depressing thoughts were going through her mind and they were entirely frustrating. Her phone was still resting in her hands and she couldn’t make up her mind if she should call her mother first. God knows she wanted to, but the daughter in her that missed her mother’s love and care, wanted to see if maybe, just maybe she can get her long time wish.
Not that she wanted to scare her mother, but would she be a bad child if she stays off the radar to experience what she had missed for the past 10 years, even if just for a minute. She’d do anything to hear her mother ask her how she’s doing? That would be a boon in her life. Eun-Sun’s thought were making her ache and the hunger was worsening things.
Eun-Sun jolted back to reality when her phone started ringing. Finally, it was Hei-Ran.
“Are you here now? Eun-sun asked immediately she answered the call.
“Errmm...Eun-sun don’t be mad, I’ll not be able to come over right away. I got a call from my boss asking me to come to the office. I’ll be back in an hour or there about.” Hei-Ran pleaded over the phone.

“Well then you’ve got to hurry up. That nasty boss of yours won’t go easy on you if you are late.” She added trying not to sound sad or dissappointed.
“Okay, I’ll be back soon, but in the mean time try to get something to eat. I know your brain juices dry out when you are hungry,” she teased making Eun-Sun’s lips twitch.
“Are you trying to insult a sick person little Ran-Ran? You are seriously asking for a beating, better get going before your boss eats you up,” She said smiling the best way she could.
“Alright, I’ll call you back later. Wait for me okay” Hei-Ran said hanging up the call immediately. Eun-Sun dropped her phone and laid up staring at the ceiling.
“Miss do you need anything? I’m heading for the cafeteria” The nurse asked as she stood up from the sofa she had been sitting beside Eun-sun. She was the private nurse Dan-Han had gotten her before leaving. ????????n????e????????. ????oｍ
“Yes...No, I mean no.” She replied, she knew she had no money, and the meals here were definitely not free. She’ll pass.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes” She replied nodding her head slightly. She closed her back, still lying up. The rumbling of her stomach was getting unbearable. The last meal she had was lunch and that was yesterday.
“Okay” The nurse replied.
“W-Wait” She said halting the nurse steps. Dan-Han had told her to inform the nurse if she needed anything right? That was a blank check he had handed her right? She might as well take advantage of it.
“Uhhm..” Eun-Sun bit her lips. Asking favours from people was something she wasn’t used to.
“Actually, I’m quite hungry, do you mind getting me some food?” She asked smiling apologectically.
“Of course, what would you like?” The nurse replied with a smile of her own.
“Anything as far as it’s delicious” she replied with a smile.

“Yes”
“Okay, I’ll be back with some delicious stuffs for you.” The nurse said before walking out of the room. Eun-Sun sighed deeply. Naturally, she wouldn’t have taken anything, she’d have waited for Hei- Ran to come, but now, she was truly hungry. And she wouldn’t lie, she needed something delicious to help her forget about all this heart trenching feeling going on in her mind.
Eun-Sun dropped her phone beside her which had been using to kill time, and sat up when the nurse returned with a bag of food in each hand.
“I didn’t know what to get, so I got a bit of everything” The nurse said as she unpacked the packs of food.
Eun-sun gulped at the sight of the unpacked food on the table.
“It’s perfect, thank you” she said as she picked up a pair of chopstick and started eating immediately.
“Is it delicious?” The Nurse asked as she was amused by Eun-sun’s way of eating.
“Mmm” she said with a full mouth, giving her a thumbs up. She ate every piece of food like she had a pit in her stomach. She burped when she had her full....after eating everything. This was the heartiest meal she has eaten in a long time, and the irony of it was, it was from the hospital cafeteria. Something about it made her missed her mother’s cooking. It has been 10 years since she last ate something her mother cooked, and she missed it, she miss everything.
