Agh... What the fuck is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon groaned in pain inside the pod as his body was burning with exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also something wrong with his arms, as if his muscle had pulled or ripped. It was difficult to tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His legs also felt like he had suffered from a cramp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also sweating a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What the hell is wrong with my body? It’s the same as yesterday, but of course, even worse since I trained more!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shirt was drenched and clinging to his skin. The pod’s comfy bed was also wet with his sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chaewon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t nine yet, so he hoped that she was still working, and a moment later, the door opened to his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soft footsteps approached the Virtual Reality Pod, and the glass lid opened up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Raon? What’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon asked, concern etched in her voice, but then noticed that his face was red, and it looked like he had been outside in the sun for too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I need a bath.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said through gritted teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, but why do you look like this? What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked and carried him into the wheelchair and rolled him into the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I don’t know. Maybe the machine malfunctioned. I felt really hot once I came out, so maybe it’s that...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I get someone to check it out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That would be nice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then prepared the bath, and once it was done, got Fang Raon out of the sweaty clothes and lowered him into the warm water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will be back shortly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, and left the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...I feel stronger for some reason. I, of course, can’t test the strength, but that’s how I feel. Really, what the hell happened?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the bathroom’s door opened and closed as Chaewon entered and checked the temperature of the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How’s the water?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to wash off now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought for a moment, remembering the last time they did it, and then he just took a deep breath and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, please...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered him onto a stool, took a sponge, and started gently scrubbing his back with warm water and soap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Your skin looks like you’ve suffered from heatstroke. How could that happen inside the Virtual Reality Pod?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah... I don’t know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a conflicted look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Chaewon leaned slightly forward, and her soft breasts touched his back, but there was something off this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...She is wearing a bathing suit this time around? I guess I must’ve embarrassed her last time.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon then moved to his front and cleaned his arms and legs but also noticed the hands that looked rough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my god, your hands also... I think I will put some ointment on those before I go off work. Those don’t look good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon said with a worried voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon couldn’t see the condition of his hands, but he had a good guess that they were in the worst condition compared to the rest of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lastly, Chaewon glanced down at his \"thing\" and saw that it was hard, but she just shyly avoided it at all costs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And we are done~ I’ll get you on a new pair of clothes, get you to the bed, and find some ointment for you. Is that alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She isn’t cleaning that part today?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon wondered and would’ve nodded if he could, so he just said, \"Yep,\" and heard her wet-sounding footsteps as she walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wiped him off with a towel, put him in new garments, and carried him back to the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a couple more minutes, she returned with ointment and applied it to his hands, which looked worn-out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It stings. Is my flesh peeled off or what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn’t look like it, but it is very red, as if you had been climbing a rope for hours. It’s truly strange.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She finished putting on the ointment, clicked the cap shut, and then looked into his face for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned quiet as she forgot to say anything as she just kept staring into his face, and then, Fang Raon spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chaewon? Are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, yes. My shift is over now, so I will be heading back home, but I will see you tomorrow. I will also get someone to check out that machine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said with a smile, picked up her stuff from the room, and lastly, said, \"Good night,\" and then left the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the changing room of the Caretaker Facility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The locker doors kept being banged shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Chaewon opened her locker, took off her nurse clothes, and stuffed them into her bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was taking her nurse clothes with them back to her place to clean them off, as the nurses were responsible for laundering their own uniforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...What am I doing? I must look even weirder to Fang Raon now. I made myself look so suspicious by wearing a bathing suit now and the way I... avoided cleaning that part even though I talked about how important it is to keep that place clean last time.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon banged her head on the locker room, thought of herself as stupid, and the nearby nurses looked at her worryingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Chaewon, are you alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is everything good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep, just heading back home!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon said with an awkward smile, said \"Goodbye\" to the other nurses, and headed straight to the first elevator on the 59th floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She entered the elevator, pressed the \"98th\" floor button, and the elevator started slowly making its way up the floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I never expected the nurse job to be like this!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon covered her face with her hands and let out a muffled scream. She then banged her head against the elevator doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, the elevator doors opened, and she immediately hurried to the corner of the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A family of three—a mother with her two children—entered the elevator, and the mother looked at Chaewon with an \"Is she alright?\" gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon awkwardly waved at her and felt her cheeks burn up with embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is all his fault!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pouted and crossed her arms and started thinking about ways to get revenge on him for making her suffer through this embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>",1099,"2026-06-06T02:35:08.437Z",1,"novelbin.me","95070508735d68bf0a5a8b6f88aeb7f7804553b659a31a8a55641719843729da","black-online-chapter-39","black-online-chapter-37",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-online-cover.jpg"]
