I decided to pay more attention to my main job, which I couldn’t pay attention to these days due to various things.

You don’t have to worry too much because the posts are uploading on their own, but it’s also manageable to go into the comment window once in a while and leave a comment on posts that catch your eye.

I see more comments than I expected expressing disappointment that readers don’t leave comments.

I should be honest and leave a comment that I said hello to my girlfriend’s parents.

There’s nothing to keep secret.

Readers are interested in my writing, because they don’t seem interested in external things.

After leaving a few comments like that, he added a few emoticons and got up from his chair.

My back hurts a little when I try to sit for the first time in a while.

I didn’t even use my back much.

In my relationship with Da-hye, the normal position is for me to be put down and lead, so there is no reason for my back to hurt.

“No way… I have a herniated disc in my back.”

It is said that lumbar discs do not form but rather flow out, but they occur for convenience.

It’s not wrong to say that symptoms do occur.

Anyway, I think I have a bad back, so I should go to the hospital, right?

If you neglect an important part like your back and discover it too late, that’s when it’ll be the most painful.

“I have to go there.”

It doesn’t hurt too much though.

It hurts so slightly that I don’t feel it when I stand up.

That makes me even more annoyed.

If it hurts, it hurts all the time. It’s annoying because I can’t even do this or that because the pain is so subtle.

“Oppa. Where does it hurt?”

“Why are you holding my waist? Does your back hurt?”

As I came out of the room, two people saw me and quickly walked over to me and looked at me with concern.

After all, there are only us, my brother and sister.

“I feel a little sick, so I’m going to go to the hospital…”

“Alone? Dahye is working right now, so come with us.”

“So, I tell you to correct your posture when sitting at your desk! I knew your back would break down one day!”

Minji is scolding me and my sister is worried.

In times like this, the opposite is usually the case, but strangely today it is the exact opposite.

“Sister. Who wants to drive?”

“Would Minji do it?”

“Then let’s go in my car.”

Minji took off the keychain from the front door, opened the door, and went out.

It looks like he plans to go down first and start the engine.

Because it’s winter…

If you want to move, you need to heat up the engine a bit.

“But do you have a big waist?”

“How much is it throbbing? More than that, I don’t know why my back hurts.”

“Then it could be a disk. Hehe, a 26-year-old boy would already be in a lot of trouble if he got a herniated disc…”

“Is it that much?”

I know that disks are quite painful.

Even if it hurts just a little bit, it’s like this, but if it hurts really bad, how much does it hurt?

By the way… my sister’s expression looks a bit like a goblin.

This is the image of an older sister who wants to impose strange ideas on her younger brother, who knows nothing.

“You do know that discs burst and spill out, right?”

“Yes. I know.”

“Do you know how to treat it?”

“Uh…. Well…”

“You put a balloon in the tailbone and push it out.”

“Hiik…”

It is commonly referred to as balloon dilatation.

As my sister said, it is a procedure that inserts a tube into the coccyx area to prevent the nerves in the stenotic area from closing.

Afterwards, it is said to be a direct treatment method by injecting an injection into the enlarged space.

So it seems to be a procedure, not a surgery or a treatment.

“But how does your sister know that?”

“What kind of exam did your sister pass?”

“Hae… administrative level 5?”

So, you know that much?

After all, smart people are different.

“A. But isn’t the lumbar disc too big just because it hurts a little? It’s probably just a sprain.”

“I wish so…”

Actually, I’m glad it’s a sprain.

As the saying goes, a sprain is a pain caused by the ligament suddenly stretching and becoming inflamed.

It is the polar opposite of a disc bursting and leaking.

Ugh… I’m worried for no reason.

Minji, who was driving, sighed.

I always tell Minji not to hurt her back while lifting things, but it’s only funny because my back hurts.

“Oppa. Have you lifted anything heavy recently?”

“Well… I did move a box.”

I recently placed a large order for a retro game console.

So a large delivery box arrived, weighing 20kg, the maximum load at the post office.

Anything more than that would have to be sent by freight or separately, but since the delivery fee was high, it seemed like they had to bundle it all into one package.

“If someone with a weak body like you suddenly lifts something heavy, they sprain. Don’t worry too much.”

Still, I felt grateful that my sister worried about me and my older brother.

After all, family is everything in this world.

I was lucky enough to receive treatment as soon as I arrived at the hospital.

Even though it’s a big hospital, there aren’t many people around since it’s about 5 o’clock.

People may think that there are the most people around before and after work, but in reality, there are the most people around before and after treatment begins.

There are many people who want to see a doctor quickly and rest comfortably.

And the reason there are no people before and after work is because people who come to the hospital have already quickly used up their annual leave or half-day leave to receive treatment at the hospital, so there are no people around at that time.

First of all, the first thing to check is X-RAY.

Surprisingly, X-RAY can show inflammation as white, so if your back is sprained, check with X-RAY first.

Next is imaging using MRI.

It is convenient to think of X-RAY as viewing the body through x-rays, while MRI is viewing all parts of the body in 3D using magnetic force.

Anyway, the doctor nodded while looking at the X-RAY picture on the monitor.

When he hit the table, the chair whirled around and looked in this direction.

“Lee Si-woo’s back condition is… not bad.”

“Disk… isn’t it?”

“Looking at the sprain in my lower back, I don’t think it’s a herniated disc. If you want to see it in more detail, it’s not a bad idea to stay in the hospital for a day and get an MRI… but I don’t think it’s necessary.”

“Ha…. Thank you.”

The waist itself looks fine, no need to take pictures.

That’s a good thing… I was a little worried because my sister scared me for no reason.

“Instead, even if you are a man, I think you should do some muscle exercise.”

“Is that so…”

” Looking at the treatment history of other departments, I heard that he suffered from burnout and fainted once in a while… I think using equipment is too dangerous, so just do sit-ups and things like that in moderation.”

“Yes… I understand.”

You should keep the doctor’s advice in mind.

Exercise every day… Don’t use any equipment, just do sit-ups…

But can I do sit-ups if my back hurts?

That’s an exercise that uses your back strength.

“When you do this, it would be better to have family members watching from the side.”

“Thank you. Teacher.”

“Then, you can go out, deposit the money, get the prescription, and then leave.”

Come out and get your money and prescriptions…

Why is the storage area so far away?

Although I felt pain, I somehow managed to pull myself together and get out.

“I’ll cook for you for a while, so lie down.”

“It’s okay. Actually, working is good for your back.”

“Still…”

“I am not a child.”

Does my sister still think I’m a minor?

He’s already 26 years old.

I cried a little because I was worried for no reason, but it wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t do my housework.

And I have to do it because if I don’t, my house will be ruined.

Minji’s soybean paste stew and her older sister’s cleaning and laundry?

Honestly, it’s so horrible that you won’t be able to raise your head.

“If you say so…”

“So, noona and Minji stay calm.”

I can’t let those two go because I’m scared.

Until you two get married, I will be in charge of the household chores!

“If you are sick, please tell me… we would have gone to the hospital together…”

As I was lying in bed taking a steam bath, Dahye came into the room and sat down on the bed.

Then, he gently strokes his head and pouts his lips.

Are you upset?

He said he didn’t tell me first.

“You were working.”

“Still… I wasn’t particularly busy.”

“They didn’t even let me into the house in the first place.”

“Ugh…there’s a reason for that…”

He pouted his lips again and lowered his head.

I guess I heard that it was me who was to blame.

Ugh… I know I didn’t mean it that way.

I stood up slightly and patted Dahye’s head.

“You know I didn’t mean it that way, right?”

“I know…”

“Now, come here.”

I made a place for Da-hye to come inside and lie down.

Naturally, Da-hye wanted to fool around with me, so she came in and fell into my arms.

“Anyway, why is my girlfriend not letting me come home~”

“Ugh…you already know that.”

“I know, but why do I still want to make fun of you?”

“Ugh… I will definitely see if my brother is crying or not on that day.”

Hey, you shouldn’t cry just because you got a proposal!

How well do I tolerate being sad?

Even while watching the Hanshin PV video this time…

No, did you cry?
