TAFL :: 68

the sound of the pencil that was being used to draw into something in one try was all that i could hear and even though it sounded satisfying, that made my brows furrowed as i tried to open my eyes to see where did that sound was coming from. but when i opened my eyes, i had to shut it again because the sudden light coming from the window had greeted my naked eyes and was reflected into it. it took me some time to finally open my eyes again and im happy that the strong light from the outside didnt surprise my eyes anymore.

i heard another sound of the pencil on my side so i tried to jerked my head into my left to see where it was coming from and my brows just furrowed after seeing seungcheol was on the table near me, busy doing his plates. some of his materials was scattered around him including that ruler, some sheet of papers and even that huge eraser he bought the last time with me. he was wearing his specs, and he looked so serious and focus on what he was doing that for sure he wouldnt notice that i was awake already and was staring at him.

"w-what are you doing here?" i didnt know exactly if he heard me because my voice was mumbled and i felt like i couldnt speak that properly.

but guess that he heard me enough dahil nadin siguro the area was silent and the only noise was his pencil, he jerked his head to me and i tried to smile seeing how the way his gaze shifted to mines that quick. even though he seemed focus, busy and serious on what he was doing, he was still that attentive towards me and thats enough for my heart to thumped faster.

"you're awake." i nodded and watched him stood up then he went closer to me and he touched my forehead. "how are you feeling? tell me what do you feel. do you want something? are you hungry?"

i laughed and shook my head. "you didnt even answered my question." i pouted but i just cough afterwards and thats. . thats the only moment i remembered that our prof had asked sowon to accompany me here at the clinic. "i-im sick? i have a fever, right?"

seungcheol nodded. "yes, and thats why im here."

"who told you i am? i told to sowon not to tell it to you. ." i remembered telling to her not to tell seungcheol! geez. that girl!

seungcheol laughed. "she didnt. the nurse was the one who called me. jiwon was here earlier but she needed to attend her class."

"and you? why are you still here?" i didnt know what time it was already but for sure he has classes!

he laughed again. "because you're sick and i want to take good care of you." after he laughed, he smiled at me and he extended his hand again until it reached my right cheek. "i have classes, but i ditched those for you. . you are more important than my grades. you dont have to worry."

i argued about what he did but it wont make sense anymore since it was already almost five in the afternoon and i remember that when it was first day of school, the classes was shortened kasi puro introduce yourself palang naman yun. good thing also that ive got sick during first day at wala pa masyadong ipapagawa and if meron man, i could cope with the lessons they tackled today.

seungcheol had asked me how i was feeling and he even called the university nurse to check on me but the nurse just said that my sister was the one who checked on me earlier and based on what jiwon said, i was fine already and just needed enough rest, more water and eat healthy foods which i have lacked of during those days. and since thats what my sister had told me to do, seungcheol had bought me a vegetable salad, he said that he bought it at the nearby convenience store and orange milk shake.
