SPACE : Dreamcatcher

Ep 18: Sound of Heart

Ram's POV :

"Ah...."

I saw a body shaking under the thick blanket.

He has been trembling all through the night probably due to a lot of pain.

I touched the back of my hand to his forehead to check his temperature and he was a little hot. I will give him the medicine after breakfast.

5:12 AM

P'King probably won't wake up any time soon. Let's cook then.

Wait, when I made a move to get up but had to halt because there was a small hand holding my shirt trying not to let me go anywhere.

"Where are you going ?", A little hoarse voice asked.

His nose is red because he has been crying due to pain. I'm not used to this version of P'King.

"I'm going to prepare breakfast", I replied.

"I don't want to eat. Headache", He cried.

"You have to eat", I added.

"No", He shook his head gently.

He exerted force to sit down beside me and hugged my waist tightly as if afraid that I'll run away if he let go.

He's behaving like a child.

"You said you won't be stubborn anymore", I said. "What do you want to eat?", I asked.

"Anything easy to eat", I smiled.

"Boiled rice then", I added.

"Uh... don't go", He hugged me more tightly.

The sniffling tip of his nose tucked into my neck and he rubbed it to my skin.

His breath is warm but right now I don't see the cheerful senior who's always hyper and full of madness.

"Phi", I softly said.

Now I only see a depressed boy who is in a lot of pain.

"Are you hurt very much?", I asked.

"Yeah", He replied.

"I'm sleepy but can't sleep so I'll go with you to cook", He added.

He looks very sleepy, tired, and hurt. Maybe he can't rest right now.

"Will you be okay?", I asked.

"Yeah...", He replied.

"It's okay if you don't want to continue sleeping but don't rub your eyes", I said when I saw him standing beside me and using both his hands to rub his eyes.
