He was also woken up by the cry of pain from the upper bunk, he opened his eyes and looked at the upper bunk with some confusion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Tatsu didn't reply, and in the silence of the room, there was only the sound of his painful breathing. Kazuya immediately lifted the quilt covering his body, turned on the light in the room, and climbed into the top bunk.
I saw Tatsuya covering his heart in pain, his face wrinkled in pain because of the pain, and he was sweating profusely, as if he had been fished out of the water.
"Brother! Brother! ”
Kazuya patted his arm, but Tatsuya didn't react at all, just covered his heart and moaned. He ran downstairs in a panic and banged the wooden door of his parents' room.
"Daddy! Father! My brother seems to have a heart attack, take him to the hospital! ”
There was a panicked sound of getting up in the room, followed by a thud as if someone had fallen to the ground.
"Daddy?"
"Ouch, I'm fine! Tatsuya, what the hell happened to him? ”
Shingo Uesugi opened the door with a bruised face, and Haruko Uesugi stood behind him, their faces full of anxiety.
"Call the hospital's emergency number."
*************
When Tatsuya woke up, the first thing that caught his eye was the white ceiling, and the smell of strong disinfectant water unique to hospitals came to his nose.
He clutched his heart and straightened up from the bed.
"I... Where am I? ”
Just as he shook his drowsy head and wanted to check his surroundings, the voice of his younger brother Kazuya suddenly sounded beside him.
"Brother, you're awake!"
He rushed to the head of the bed with a look of surprise and looked at Tatsuya.
"How did I get to the hospital?"
Tatsuya looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Brother, don't you remember, the night before yesterday you suddenly had a terrible heartache, which frightened me and my parents."
"Heart?"
Tatsuya scratched his head, he did feel that for a while, his chest felt as if there was a charcoal fire burning in his chest, and the pain was terrible.
"Wait, the day before yesterday, did I stay in a coma for so long!?"
"yes."
"The doctor carefully examined your body and found that there was nothing abnormal except for a little high body temperature, and it was as strong as a cow."
Kazuya picked up an apple from the fruit basket and carefully peeled it with a knife.
"Brother, do you remember the time when we went to the beach together when we were kids?"
Tatsuya said lazily with his hands on his cheeks.
"We've been to the beach so many times together, which time are you talking about?"
The peeled apples fell into the trash one by one.
"I still remember very clearly, it was the sixth grade of elementary school, we went to the beach together, but brother, you accidentally drowned."
"You remember that mess."
Tatsuya's face was a little stinky, it was one of the most humiliating experiences he had as a child, and he swam halfway through when the lifebuoy he was wearing broke, and he drowned in a panic.
"I will never forget that day, it was very hot, the lights in the emergency room were always on, and the cicadas were very harsh. Xiao Nan sat outside, didn't say a word, and was very worried about his brother. She didn't say a word until the doctor came out of the emergency room and announced that you were out of danger and she burst into tears. ”
Kazuya cut the apple in his hand into four pieces and handed it to Tatsuya, who looked at Tatsuya with a pair of bright eyes.
"Brother, you have to take care of your body, Xiao Nan and I are very worried about you, don't work so hard anymore, rest early at night." The doctor said that it may be due to heart palpitations caused by irregular life, and you must have a regular schedule and rest. ”
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Tatsuya eats an apple that his brother has peeled.
"Kazuya is also training very hard for Koshien, and I'm also working for my own goals now."
His tone was very firm.
"I know I can't convince you."
Kazuya shrugged helplessly, he knew that his brother didn't seem to care about anything, but once he made up his mind, no matter how many difficulties he encountered, he would grit his teeth and persevere.
He stood up and gestured to the insulated bucket on the bedside table.
"I'll go first, this is the miso soup and bento that Xiao Nan made for you, if it's evil, open it and eat it."
"Eh, don't go, talk to me again, and how long do I have to stay in this broken hospital?"
"I still have classes in the afternoon, and as for hospitalization, the doctor suggested that you need to be hospitalized for another three days for observation, and you can be discharged after three days."
Kazuya said, pushed away the patients in the ward, and walked out. Halfway through, he suddenly lowered his footsteps as he saw a young girl resting on the back of a chair. A delicate black hair, scattered on a fair face, and slender eyebrows clumped, as if dreaming of something bad.
Kazuya sighed, took off his coat, and covered Xiao Nan's body.
He got the action to wake up Xiao Nan, who was sleeping very lightly. Her eyelashes twitched, and she opened her eyes. He had just woken up in a daze, and looked up at Kazuya.
"And... And also? ”
"Didn't you already come to the vigil last night, and if you don't have a good rest during the day, your body will not be able to bear it."
Kazuya looked at the conspicuous dark circles on Xiao Nan's face and sighed.
"I slept in the morning, and I couldn't sleep after waking up, so I asked for leave anyway, so I wanted to come to the hospital to see Tatsuya."
Xiao Nan was really frightened when he learned that Tatsuya was admitted to the hospital because of heart problems.
"My brother has woken up and looks very good, I peeled an apple for him and is eating it."
And also carried the bag on his shoulder.
"I really still envy my brother very much, if only I were lying on the hospital bed now."
"If this happens to you, I'll be so worried."
"Maybe that's the case."
In the hallway of the hospital, two people looked at each other.
"Of course."
Xiao Nan said naturally.
"I know this kind of thing can't be compared, but I'm still very envious."
Kazuya looked up at the ceiling of the hallway, and the two feelings of envy and guilt filled his heart, and his eyes were about to fill up.
"Kazuya is different from Tatsuya, it's very reliable, it can't do anything wrong, and it's in good health, so nothing will happen to me that worries me."
Xiao Nan's eyes were lowered, revealing an expression of Enron.
"I'm leaving."
Kazuya said suddenly.
"Huh? Why don't you come with me to see Tatsuya? ”
"The baseball training is about to start, and as the person who makes Xiao Nan trust, I need to step up my training, and I will be promoted to high school next year, and if I don't get selected as a pitcher, I will disappoint a lot of people."
