An Unbreakable Love

Chp.21 'What are we?'

The room is filled with nothing but silence. Not the good one though. 

We both- Jimin and I- are staring into each other's eyes. I realized that he has deep brown eyes which are cold and blank. I blink my eyes and look anywhere but at him. His eyes are enough to make me nervous. His back is resting on the headboard of the bed with the covers resting on his thighs. 

" Hi.." Those words leave my mouth and I wish I could take them back as fast as I can. Hi? Seriously?

" Good morning." He bobbed his head a little and replied without averting his eyes from mine. He replied. To me. Nice.

" Good morning." What should I do now? Should I just stand up casually and leave or just sit here and avoid his eyes? I think I should go with the former one-

" Care to tell me the reason for your presence in my room?" His voice. Did I mention that his morning voice is the hottest thing I have ever heard? Oh, wait. I was busy admiring his eyes. 

" I- you were having a fever last night so I ... brought the bowl and the towel and tried to reduce the fever." 

He said nothing. I didn't say anything stupid, did I? I didn't mention the admiring-him thing, so why the silence?

" How did you know that I had a fever? What were you doing in my room at night?" Dammit. I didn't think about this. I definitely can't tell him the whole truth. What should I say? What should I-

" I came to check on you." Just great.  

His eyebrows raised as soon as those words left my mouth. There comes another question.

" And why did you do that?" 

" I- okay. When I was going to fetch some water in the kitchen I heard some noise coming from your room. The door was open so I entered. I am sorry. I know I shouldn't have done that but I thought that something happened to you so I came to check. That's when I saw that you were having a nightmare. After some time you slept properly so I left the room." Lie. " Yesterday I came to check on you to see if you were having one but you had a fever instead. So.." I spoke as fast as I could. I am not even sure if he understood what I said but I am not repeating any of that again.

He just nodded silently. " Thanks." was all he said before he started pulling off the cover.

" Where are you going?" 

 He stood up." I have office."

" No." He looked at me.

" Yes. I do."

" No...I mean, you can't go to the office today."He just looked at me for an explanation.

" You had a fever. You need to rest." His face showed a new emotion for a few seconds but was back to normal. 

" I am fine. The fever is gone-"

I touched his forehead to check the temperature. His body went still when my hand touched his forehead. He still had a fever.

" You are not fine. Your forehead is still hot. Don't go to the office today." My hand was still where it was and our eyes were looking into each other's now. As if we were lost. 

His hand came up and grabbed the wrist of my hand that was resting on his forehead. As soon as his hand touched me, my whole body tingled. His warm palm was holding my wrist. His small touch was making me feel nervous.

He removed my hand from his forehead but didn't let go of my wrist. We stood there. We both knew that we were feeling something that we were not supposed to feel. Something that was never thought about.
