It's really tiring to be an idol. Training, dancing, singing.. even though it's fun it is still very tiring. I feel like my body is numb because of exhausting myself to the point of me almost getting to my limit.

And here I am, still being stubborn.

Walking alone in a street trying to find a drugstore so I can buy a medicine for my head ache and maybe some energy drink.

I yawn, I want to sleep but I still need to practice more. I want to show everyone that I am good. That I am not lazy, that I am doing my best because blinks deserves the best.

I was about to cross the street when I felt an arm grab my elbow. It is as if everything went to a slow motion when a car passed by and I felt an arm enveloping my waist. My mouth hang open and my eyes widened when I saw Jongin's serious face.

I tried to push him away but he only tighten his hold on me.

"H-Hey.." I said, trying to cover for my raging heartbeat.

His hand is on my back that I am afraid if he is feeling the strong and fast beating of my heart. Why is he here? Is he like a mushroom? He always appear out of nowhere.

"Can't you see that the lights is green? Do you want to kill yourself?" He scolds me, his face looks mad but he is trying to tone down his voice and stay calm.

I gulped as my head ache doubles up. I didn't notice because I am feeling heavy to notice. It's cold and all I could think of is wanting to drink some medicine to ease my tiredness. All I want is to cross the street and go inside that drugstore to buy some medicine.

I want to explain myself clearly but I think my throat run dry.

"Why are you straining yourself?" Jongin sighed and cupped both my cheeks.

He stared at me with his unbelievably caring eyes that widened when he realized something. And I already have a feeling of what it could be.

"You're burning.." he said. "Jennie you are sick and you walked out alone?!"

I closed my eyes when his tone rises. My head ache triple up. I coughed and felt his hands caressing both my cheeks. His palms sending warmth not only on my face but on my whole system. I'm glad I found him here.

I raised my hand to hold his hand on my cheek. "Don't worry too much."

I tried to smile to ease his worries. It's not like it is my first time being sick. It's not like it is my first time straining myself from training. It's not my first time being stubborn walking alone while I'm burning sick. I don't want to burden my members so I always hide whenever I'm feeling bad.

It is my first time being taken care of though.

"Eat more." Jongin blew on the soup before feeding me. "You need to eat before drinking medicine." He said.

I only nodded while staring at his face. It has been a month and a half of it when we agreed to pretend to date for publicity and to cover Jisoo Unnie and Suho's relationship. I didn't really expect us to come to this.

"Quit staring. I'm mad." Jongin glared at me but his eyes can't hide its softness.

I drank the water he gave me before I shrugged my shoulder. Up until now, can't make myself to agree with what my manager wanted me to do.

I feel so troubled to the point of me wanting to just strain myself for me not to think about it.
