Blinded Part 3

Snapping out of the dream with a jerk, I was dead awake, morning or not. I couldn't tell or should I say I had no way of knowing without hearing the morning call or asking the system or Chae, I had no way of knowing between day and night without some kinda help.

it was the same as when I fell asleep, she was still holding onto me, I could feel her breathing on my face, I touched her face with my hand, trying to sense what she looked like, "can blind people really tell faces by touching them?" I wanted to know too, but somehow in the end I ended up poking her on the forehead.

Talk about impulses.

"What are you doing?" she said in an apathetic tone.

Moving my hand away immediately

"Wait, You. You are awake?"

She remained silent, then broke into laughter, letting go of my arm she moved

Before pinching my cheeks and saying

"You look so cute, Asleep"

"Embarrassed? Aww your cheeks are all red"

"Aww"

"Cute?" I asked

I held her hands, moving them away from my face.

"Wha What? What do you mean by cute?"

Still holding her hands.

"It's morning, freshen up"

She jerked her hands away.

The sound of the sliding door of the bathroom, followed by the "pop" sound of the door locking.

"You have a check-up today, get up I will bring the wheelchair" she shouted from the bathroom followed by the sound of the shower.

I recalled the dream, embarrassed.

I burrowed my face in the pillow red-faced thinking about what I saw in the dream before

[The dream has been recorded. Would you like to see that again sometime?]

Burrowing my face even deeper.

"Hihi" muffled laughter.

[Ain't you enjoying this]

[Shut up]

muffled laughter.

"How is this going to help? Have you not already done tests of my blood samples?"

Sharp poking sensation as the doctor drew blood.

"Wait, another vial"

"Another," He said.

Before he replaced that vial with another one too.

"Cough, Cough."

"How many vials are you going to take? Are you planning on running me dry?" I said

"That's not possible you would generate more blood, besides it's only a little bit of your blood, it's not even close to the amount you did give while donating blood."

"Just another this is the last one, promise"

He took the needle out, putting on a patch he kept talking.

"Besides, the redness in your eyes has improved a lot and your leg is fine now."

"I got this for you, so next time this doesn't happen. Here you go"

He put something in my hand.

"What is this?"

"Touch it, try feeling what it is"

"torch? Stick?"

"It's a white cane," he said

"I am sure you have seen people using them before"

"Try it now", helping me to stand up from the wheelchair.

"It folds, So, try opening it. Move it around the ground scanning for anything you might hit."

I swung it around on the ground just like he said

"Just like that"

"Move forward"

I immediately hit something with a thud sound.

"That's a table."

"See, Just like this, it will help you to avoid obstacles. You can learn to use it at the rehabilitation center here, they have steps and other things that will help you. Try going there"

"Take him," he added.

"Let's go," Chae said

"Walk, don't take the wheelchair the more you move your leg the better"

"See you again"

Sound of the door, Chae put her arm around my arm and guided me, walking with me through the corridors

"It's about lunchtime, I will bring our lunch after dropping you to room"

With that, we walked to the room as she verbally guided me as to where to turn and where to go.

leaving me in the room she went to bring our lunch

She came back soon with chicken, rice for lunch.

We had that for lunch, the usual routine of feeding me followed.

"I also got ramen and snacks," she said

"With the stove in your [Item Box], we can still cook ramen here for dinner"

"I also had ramen in [Item box]"

She handed me a pack of ramen.

"The problem is that I can't take out the correct kind of stove just by its name, I can't see the thumbnail of the item," I said

Feeling the pack of ramen I said

"Did you only get these ones?"

"You should have bought the self-heating ones"

"We can break them and add the flavour and it for a snack"

I handed her the ramen in my hand.

Yawning

"I think I will take an afternoon nap"

I went to sleep

She woke me up by jerking me after a while and said

"Hey, since I can also use your skills and both of us are connected by the pact. Maybe I can access your [Item Box] too"

"Is what she said possible?"

[Yes, would you like to do that?]

"Yes"

[Grant her access to your <<Item Box>>]

"Yes"

[Access granted for An Chaeyoung to access Kim Meonjeo <<Item Box>>]

And with that sure enough she could access my <<Item Box>> and take things out of it and put things in it.

the system kept me informed as to what she was taking out of the <<Item Box>> and putting in.

She suddenly all excited proclaimed

"I will make dinner today"

With that, she kept taking out items one by one.

[Stove, Spicy ramen noodles, Chicken, Air Fryer]

"What are you intending to make with all this?"

"Patience, you will see."

"What else you have there"

She kept looking in the [Item Box]

"Now, that I think this is the first time you cooking anything since we met," I said

"Wake me up again when you are done"

I laid on the bed again, resting, and soon drifted to sleep again.

I woke up to the delicious smell of dishes, I couldn't see them, but they sure smelled amazing.
