The sun has ascended the sky. Jennie was now in her room ( Taehyung's home ) staring at the two lunch boxes kept in front of her. Her chin resting in her palms.

" I am definitely not gonna give this to Monster Kim. What should I do with this then? " She muttered taking up one of the lunchbox her aunty packed for her roommate as she continued staring it.

She soon realized she doesn't have much time to get ready to get to the office.

" I'll deal with this later. For now, let's keep it in the refrigerator. " She said taking the two lunchboxes to the kitchen and putting one inside the refrigerator.

~Fast forward~

Jennie was ready to leave now as she grabbed her purse which was laying down on the couch and turned around to make her way to the door.

She turned the knob of the door revealing a tired Kim Taehyung with his hand in the air ( as he too was going to open the door ) which he slowly put down.

" Oh!..." Jennie began after a moment of silence between them. " Y-You're back. " She said slightly disappointed by the sight of him. He just nodded and went inside. Jennie just stood there not knowing what to say.

" Mr. Kim! " She yelled stopping him. " Aren't you coming to the office? " He raised his right brow in confusion of why is she asking this. " I-I mean you must be tired after this long flight so I thought you would be taking some rest. "

" No, I just came to freshen up a bit and have something from the kitchen. I am coming. I am not tired. " He said and she nodded although she was clearly able to see the tiredness inside him.
Jennie contemplated in her mind before speaking. " So in that case, there is a lunchbox in the fridge. Yesterday I went my home so my aunt packed an extra one. So... if you don't mind...would you like have it? " She said but soon regretted asking when saw him raising his right brow.

' Of course he will not accept the offer and make me cook now. '
She thought.

" Are you sure you want me to eat the food your aunt made for you? " He asked at which she furrowed her brows.

" Of course.... Y-You want me to boil it f-for you? " She said looking down knowing very well his answer would be a simple and cold ' yes'.

" No thanks. I'll do that on my own. You leave for work, I'll follow you after. " Jennie jerked her head up to look at him furrowing her brows more but saw him leaving to his room . She didn't utter a word and left with a sigh.

~ Fast Forward ( 1 hour ) ~

Taehyung has entered the office with lot of smiles by the employees at which he smiled back and bowed the elders.

He heard a knock on his door as soon he sat down on his chair still tired. He looked up only to find Jennie with some files in her hand arranging them after knocking.

Jennie averted her gaze from the paper to him. His eyes still showed that tiredness she saw in the morning. She heard a faint ' come in ' and went inside shrugging her thoughts away.

She explained the problem in the files at which she expected him to scream at her but he calmly told her what she was supposed to do.

She was quite sure that he is behaving like this because he is tired and do not have much energy to scream or do anything.

" Am I supposed to give this to Mr. Lee? "

" Is Mr. Lee here? "

" No, I didn't actually see him. " She said at which he nodded.

" By the way you have to give this one to the manager of Mr. Seokjin. Mr. Lee is on a leave today. "

" Okay sir... anything else? "

" Umm, yes... " He went silent for a moment. " ... forget it! That's it! You can leave. "

" Sure sir. " She said and left with a confused expression on her face.

After a while Jennie saw a guy with a cup of coffee entering Taehyung's cabin...then once again....and again....and again....

It has been so late and Jennie was still in the office. She noticed every room's light has been off except two room. One was hers and another was Taehyung's.

She saw the guy with a tired face once again entering Taehyung's cabin with another cup of coffee.

" What is he even doing? Does he wanna die drinking coffee? " She said as she stood up from her chair and went to Taehyung's cabin.

She was going to knock once before entering but stopped when she saw the guy with the cup standing beside Taehyung and Taehyung laying his head on the working table... sleeping.

The guy noticed another presence in the room when he looked at Jennie and quickly bowed her.

" Ma'am should I wake him up? "

" No, just keep the coffee here and you can leave now. Go home. "

" Thank you ma'am. " He said smiling widely and bowing her before leaving the cabin.

Jennie went towards Taehyung looking at his peaceful sleeping state. She turned around to leave but stopped when she heard him mumbling something. She looked at him turning back around with furrowed brows. She walked near him and bent down closer to his face.

" I'm sorry noona. I hurt you. Please don't cry. I promise I will settle things soon...." She looked at him when she noticed sweat on his forehead. She slowly brought her hand closer to his forehead and touched it from the back of her hand and quickly removed as she felt the heat over her hand.

" He seems to have a high fever. "
