Chapter Thirty Two

🔹Thirty Two🔹

"Choi Seungcheol, you better awake by now or else I need to swing this pan against your head again. Yaahh.. just wake up would you? I'm tired," I slurred in my words since I don't get my head in a right comdition yet. Then, without waiting further longer, I put my head beside his sleeping figure.

Seungcheol's Point Of View

I wake up by the snoring sound beside me. When I focus my eyesight on that girl, I see Erin in her pyjama, sleeping soundly. What happened actually for me to lie down here and she's sitting while sleeping peacefully beside the couch that I'm in right now?

"Hey, wake up. Why are you sleeping here?" I frowned while shook her shoulder to wake her up. She stirs in her sleep and dodge my hand away. "I'm tired. Can you stop disturbing me this time please?" Erin snores after a moment. I look at her tiny figure quietly. Get some sleep then. Slowly, I caresses her hair softly, making sure not to awake her.

At 3 am, I heard Erin's breath become uneven plus she's shaking and sweating a lot too. I felt bad about this. So I put my hand on her forehead and she's burning up.

I lift her up and place her on the couch. Geez, I need to make sure her temperature get lower than this. Get myself into her kitchen, I see a familiar place as if I had been here once before. When people said that we need to make ourself at home, then why not? I wonder how could I know the places she put her food in such as the upper cabinet and also the utensils. Weird, I thought.

"What are you trying to do?" Out of nowhere, her sudden appearance make me jolted up a bit. "Ouh, how's your head condition?" She rubs her eyes continuously. "Shouldn't I ask you that? You're having a fever and I'm trying to make something for you but I messed up..," I said and scratch my non-itchy head in awkward.

"I said so, then let me do it. You look like an idiot to stand here and zoned out the whole time." She pushes me and takes over my duty. I put my hand on her forehead and frown, "But-" "It'll go away some time and I'm getting used to it already. Don't worry like you usually were because your present self is not here. Go take a sit in the living room," she said and proceed cooking the dishes.

"Hard-headed, aren't you?" I asked with a cynical smirk plastered on my face while walk towards the living room. She doesn't react to my rhetorical question, so I guess she is a type that hard-to-please one. "Eat by yourself then. I'm going home now, make sure to prepare yourself for tomorrow's rehearsal," I said and walk myself to my house after that.

I chuckle to myself, what am I doing? Checking on her after having a quarrel and left her sick in her house all by herself. What a pathetic person you are, Seungcheol.

Third Person's Point Of View

The next day, everyone is focus on their tasks and no one seems to take a rest. Erin forces herself to join the rehearsal for the sake of their club. She wears a thick hoodie and put a hot pack in her hoodie pocket to keep herself warm. She sighs after realising she went up here alone when there are many boxes and props to bring to the stage.

"Guess I shouldn't depend on others then," she shrugged away her uneasy feeling. Erin lifts the box that contain music sheets for their club members slowly and takes a very careful steps on the stairs. Unfortunately, her legs become numb out of sudden. She falls on her knees and the sheets scatter everywhere. The pain is unbearable but she knows that she couldn't care much about herself right now when the event is more important.

Erin picks up all the sheets and put it back into the box. Shit. I mess up really bad for this time. The music sheets need to rearrange again, of course it will take a long time to do so. She ignores the current situation she's in and proceed with her lifting task.

After put the box at its right place, Seungkwan asks her for a help. "Make sure you hold it tight. I want to cut it perfectly into two," Seungkwan uttered while focused on his cutting. Suddenly, a loud yet fierce shout pierce through the moment.

"Who the fvck should arrange this music sheets?! We don't have much time left!" Seungcheol scolded the team that should responsible for it. The sudden loud make Seungkwan cut the clothe wrongly and it damage the clothe.

"Damn.. Why should he made a ruckus at the wrong timing?" Seungkwan sighed loudly. Erin heard the team tried to defend themselves, so she needs to step up for their rights.

"Seungcheol-ssi, it's my fault. I accidentally dropped the box on the way here, so it got messed up and need to rearrange back." She straight-forward told him her mistakes.

"Why.. Why it should be you?! Out of all people, why it must be you?! What is your real intention, you fvcking moron?" He let out a sigh in anger. As far as she wouldn't want to quarrel with him, she just accept everything what he just said.

"The event is tomorrow, so we still have time. I will bring it home tonight to settle it," Erin said more calmly. She doesn't feel insulted at all because she knew it was her mistake, she knew she deserves to be scold afterall.

Wonwoo looks at Erin's direction and he knows something wrong somewhere. He realises her pale face yet she have an urge to stand by herself for the her wrongdoings. "Coups hyung, I will help her to shorten the time. You don't have to worry," Wonwoo said to lower the uprising tension surrounding them.

She excuses herself to proceed with her tasks but she isn't alone this time because Wonwoo follow her from behind. "What are you doing?" He asked in sudden that make her jolted up a bit. "Shit. You startled me," Erin clutched her chest tightly in shock.

"Could you at least say hello please?" She put her hands around her while make an angry face. Wonwoo pinch her cheeks, "I'm sorry~" "Aish put your nasty hands away from my flawless cheeks," she pulled her face away and proceed to focus on her tasks.

"You need to lift all of this? Are you freaking serious?" Wonwoo frowned while looked at his sick bestfriend lifting a box. "Then, what should I do? Is there anything else that isn't hard to do?" She hopes for some easy tasks, which is didn't require too much energy.

Wonwoo smirk, "Easy task hmm? How about I piggyback you?"

"Ha.ha. In your dreams. I'll never let people carry me around while I'm fully awake. It's shameful," she walked out from her room towards the stairs. "Yah, wait for me!" He lifts two boxes at once and follow her.

While going downstairs step by step, Wonwoo heard a loud thud on the first floor. Taking a quick step, he almost stumble over something. He saw a standee for a banner on the floor. Shit. He put away his boxes and run towards the lying figure at the end of the stairs.

"Erin!"
