NOVEL NEXT chapter 2
2 – No, doctor, my eyes?! (1)
What? What about the optic nerve? Siwoon asks back in a hurry.
“So, are you saying that there is something wrong with my optic nerve?”
“This is true… To explain….”
“Should I have surgery?”
“No. The optic nerve is an area that cannot be operated with modern medicine.”
‘I can’t even do surgery. What do you mean?’
Did the cadet cross the water this time?
My legs were shaking.
The doctor says.
“I’ll write you a report, so go to a university hospital-level hospital and get tested.”
“No way… Is it even a real name?”
“How can I still judge this exactly?”
A vague answer.
Siwoon came out of the hospital with a stiff face and took a taxi back home.
I tried to live properly when a new life came.
From the start, a huge stumbling block stood in the way.
***
A few days later.
In front of the University Hospital.
He crossed the main building of the hospital and went to the ophthalmology department.
After waiting for about 30 minutes, I was confronted by Professor Kim Seong-cheol, an ophthalmologist.
Kikkik.
Professor Kim Seong-cheol, who was scanning Si-woon in the clinic, asked.
“You went to the hospital because your eyes hurt, but you came because you were told to go to our hospital?”
“Yes. My eyes keep hurting for no reason. He told me to go here, to the big hospital…”
“Wait a minute.”
***
After inspection,
The professor opened his mouth in doubt.
“How could the optic nerve do this? Umm…. Even after testing twice…….”
The doctor scratched his head several times as if he didn’t quite understand.
“Is it even a real name?”
“This is so strange.”
“Please explain how strange it is!”
“The appearance of Lee Si-woon’s optic nerve cells is very strange.”
“… ….”
Siwoon was speechless.
“Are your eyes sore?”
“I can’t even do my daily life right now and I’m going crazy, really.”
“Um… I think I’ll have to do an MRI and a CT scan. I think we should also know whether there is a problem with the brain.”
“Brain?”
“I’m telling you this after seeing the photo of Lee Si-woon’s optic nerve diagram… To judge only from this optic nerve photo…….”
“So what is the problem? Please make it right!”
Siwoon wants to hear a definite answer instead of going round and round.
I just kept listening to my frustrated feelings.
Yes, no, shouldn’t I be straight!
The doctor stared at the picture of Siwoon’s optic nerve.
“Anyway, the MRI scan….”
‘Ha ha. MRI? That’s a test that can break hundreds of thousands of won.’
Because of the difficult situation, I can’t even open my hands to my parents.
Siwoon had no choice but to dump all the remaining balance on his check card and finished all the inspections.
Then he went to Seongcheol.
He looked at the test results chart.
“There is nothing wrong with your brain. I will prescribe artificial tears for you, try them on and give your eyes a break. And if it hurts again, please listen to it again.”
“……….”
The doctor gave an unflattering answer.
After hearing the answer, I walked out of the hospital in vain.
“460,000 Won for inspection alone…. But the result is nothing. f*ck. I’m cursing….”
I closed my eyes tightly. A great sense of skepticism crept in.
‘If only I had hit the lottery then….’
Siwoon remembered that day.
* * *
Past life.
Due to repeated failures in the Hunter exam,
One day in my second life when I poured only soju down my throat instead of rice.
Still.
There was one last hope.
It’s nothing but a lottery!
In her first life, Siwoon was particularly attracted to the lottery.
Because he was a lottery fanatic who bought lottery every day, he remembered the lottery winning numbers of a particular round even after returning.
‘The difference between that lottery round is 413 times.’
The 413th lottery draw is scheduled to air one month from now.
Even while his vision was distorted from being drunk, Siwoon opened his eyes wide.
‘Becoming a hunter turns your life upside down with a lottery even if you fail. One month ahead….’
It was to match the lottery numbers I remembered in my first life in this second life.
‘What should I do first if I win the lottery? First of all, I’m going to pick up a nice foreign car… Buy my parents a house, move into a 40-pyeong house, and live comfortably and f*cking happily!’
I waited with hope and torture like this.
The prize money for the 413th round is 4 billion won!
And one month later.
The long-awaited day of the live broadcast of the 413th lottery draw.
‘It’s today!’
I watched the live broadcast holding the printed lottery paper tightly in my hand. He looked down and glanced at the lottery numbers he had drawn.
2.9.15.23.34.40
“2,9,15,23,34,40. Definitely float! It’s one life….”
If you won, you could even take off your clothes and dance in the street.
-Now, the long-awaited 413th Lotto. Let’s draw that first ball!
A ball with numbers written on it is held in the hand of a man who was drawing lottery balls.
– The first number is 2.
“Yes!!”
When the numbers matched, I stood up and clenched my fists.
I’m overwhelmed.
How does it feel to get billions of dollars in an instant?
I will be the main character who enjoys that ecstasy!
Soon after, the man who drew the second lottery ball on the TV screen showed the ball and said.
– The second number is 40.
“Yes! Yes! Yes, the number 40 is clearly there. Okay. It’s a first-rate decision. First place confirmed!!”
Now, even talking to myself has exploded.
I felt like I was about to burst into tears.
No more suffering! You can live happily ever after with money.
By the way…….
– The third number is 27.
“What?!”
Unfamiliar numbers …… 27.
Siwoon looked down at the lottery papers lying next to a can of beer.
’27. Wait a minute, did I hear that wrong? Doesn’t exist. The number 27 in my lottery number is…….’
– The fourth number is 17.
“What, what?”
Consecutive missed lottery lottery numbers.
At that moment, the house he was sitting in suddenly felt like it was sinking to the ground.
It must have been a while since I stared blankly at the TV screen.
-This concludes the long-awaited lottery draw ceremony for episode 413! Everyone who watched……
“……….”
The lottery broadcast was over, and I was staring blankly at the lottery papers.
With a sense of collapse, tears flowed down my chin.
“Damn it… ….”
Wrung her hair,
I remembered the winning number, wrote down the number, and waited for a long time.
One important fact that I found out after such an earnest wait.
The situation and events of the previous life and the next life are developed differently, so the parallel theory cannot be established.
In other words, it is a story that life is not easy enough to memorize only one lottery number and return to the next life to earn a lot of money and live comfortably.
The same applies to stocks.
This is a special but not easy life for Siwoon.
***
As I recalled the dark memories, my face naturally frowned.
“Damn it!”
In a fit of anger, Siwoon kicked an empty can that was lying on the side of the road.
Stupid!
The can made a squishing sound and flew several meters from Siwoon’s feet and rolled over.
My eyes were still stinging.
I was about to get on the subway, but my head was spinning.
And reflexively, the eyes widen.
‘Huh?!’
A different feeling.
As the whole body relaxed in an instant, all the blood rushed to the head.
And.
The movement of many people walking around seemed very slow.
Their expressions, movements, and clothes began to enter my mind in great detail.
‘What is it?’
There is a moment like this once in a lifetime.
When you suddenly experience an optical illusion where everything in the world flows slowly.
The shake of the shoulders of the person in front of you busily walking through the subway,
The shape of the eyes and mouth of a woman walking towards her.
Everything is very detailed.
‘What… ?’
What is the distance from that woman?
It was several tens of meters.
I was walking with a smart phone in a short mini skirt.
Despite the great distance,
I could feel the squirming shape of her smooth calves in detail.
‘It’s like looking into human flesh through a microscope!’
Dream-like haze.
Pot!
As if a flash grenade had gone off, my vision became hazy.
“Ugh!”
I reflexively close my eyes tightly.
Then let’s open our eyes again.
The speed of people moving slowly has returned to normal.
‘What was it?’
Is it because of my mood?
I stopped right there.
A very strange experience.
It was a brief moment of less than ten seconds!
How could even the muscles of a woman’s legs from a distant distance become visible?
For a moment, the voice of the doctor from earlier passed quietly through Siwoon’s mind.
– Siwoon Lee’s optic nerve cells are so bizarre that they seem to have developed by leaps and bounds.
‘Could it have something to do with that symptom?’
Soon, the tedious pain gradually began to subside.
It seemed to be able to focus well, and the blurry vision could be seen clearly.
‘Am I getting better now? How worried I was….’
***
In the rattling subway.
Siwoon took out her cell phone from her pants pocket.
The screen of her cell phone started to brighten, and then the screen came into view.
‘Handwriting catches the eye.’
For several days, I couldn’t do anything because my eyes hurt, but now it feels like the stuffiness is gone.
Through her mobile phone, she began to turn the TV channels here and there through DMB.
Then I stopped my eyes on the channel where the baseball relay was flowing.
Samsung and Lotte.
The score is 3-1, with Samsung leading.
The pitcher in the blue cap is posing to pitch by turning his head around.
Opposite,
Lotte batters are clearly looking for a turnaround opportunity.
The moment the baseball leaves the pitcher’s hand.
A single word came to Siwoon’s mind.
‘Home run.’
Bang!!
The baseball flew madly into the clear sky.
– Ho, home run! That’s a grand home run! The ball hit by Yang Seon-hwan’s bat is flying high into the sky!! Hey!
The commentators who were broadcasting were excited and chattering.
It was a home run.
The baseball flew over the crowd, and the batter who hit the home run began to stir the first, second, and third bases with a big smile.
Siwoon was dumbfounded by the fact that he had predicted a home run.
‘What is it? I could clearly see the movements of the pitcher and batter in detail before the ball even hit the bat. And even hit a home run.’
Then what about this?
