Nayeon visits the cafe near her university at least twice a week- often with her friends - and always sees one girl who catches her eye.
Jeongyeon is the girl who Nayeon sees frequently at the cafe. She sees Nayeon at least twice a week and always...
I was awake but I couldn't get the words out. There were so many people rushing around me, so much noise swallowing me, bright lights blinding me.
"Jeongyeon" I croaked. "What happened?"
"You fainted baby. But you're ok now."
I fainted. I hadn't fainted for 3 years. All the work I put in. Taking my medication. Changing my diet. Controlling my heart rate. Gone.
I cried. I couldn't believe it. My dad would be so disappointed in me. I was disappointed in myself. How was I going to take care of Jeongyeon if I was weak from fainting?
"Nayeon it's ok." It was my mum.
"Mum I hadn't fainted for 3 years. I put in all this work and I went and mixed it all up because I forgot to take my medication this evening." I cried to her.
"Don't worry. It wasn't your fault. You was busy taking care of Jeongyeon."
"So you aren't mad?"
"Why would I be? You always forgot your medication when you were younger."
"Nayeon you never told me what your medication was for" Jeongyeon said to me.
"I'm sorry"
"Don't be. You didn't need to."
~~
"Jeongyeon how am I gonna take care of you?"
"How am I gonna take care of you Nayeon?"
My mum laughed. "Why don't you come home for a week Nayeon and Jeongyeon you can come too."
"No mum. Not with dad. I can't."
"Don't worry darling, he's on a business trip."
"Irene is that ok?" I asked
"Of course it is!"

At home, we set up the spare bedroom for Jeongyeon and called my university.
I flopped onto my bed and felt my mums dog jump onto the bed beside me. I was tired and weak and fell asleep instantly.
I woke up to a message from Sana.
Sana: Did you see what Jeongyeon posted on her insta???
Me: No... Also when did you follow her???
I checked her instagram and lo and behold, there was a photo of me asleep. I have to admit, it was pretty cute.

There was a knock at my door and my mums head popped round the corner.
"Hello! Are you feeling better?"
"I'm feeling pretty weak but I'm less tired."
"Are you hungry?"
"Starving."
"Well that's good. I made your favourite."
"You made gejang?!?!"
"Yes I did. If you're up for it, it's on the table."
I ran out to the table and sat down next to Jeongyeon.
"Nayeon be careful! You're still not up to your full strength!" Jeongyeon said to me, laughing.
"You're not my mum" I jokingly said, rolling my eyes.
"No she's not but I am. You should be careful" my mum laughed at me as she walked in.

After dinner, my mum washed the dishes as me and Jeongyeon found a movie to watch. I went to run to the sofa but remembered Jeongyeon was on crutches and helped her come over.
She sat on the sofa and I stumbled in suit. My mum ran in shouting "Who wants sweets!"
"Me!" We both shouted back, excited.
~~
We watched mean girls and crashed on the couch. I woke to my mum stroking my head.
"You fell asleep again. The films over- you can go to bed." She muttered to me. I tripped as I stood up and made my way to my bed.
