Stay with me | Minsung

Pills

The second Minho woke up, he knew that he wasn't feeling well, but for him that wasn't a reason to skip school so he decided to get ready anyway.

"Min, im not going be home today, i have a business trip and I'll come back tomorrow, is that okay with you?"
His mother asked when he got to the kitchen.

"yes mom, don't worry I'm not a little kid anymore." Minho said with an annoyed tone. He didn't like to be treated as a child, he's already 17.

...

Jisung stepped into class, his eyes searching for the dark haired student.
'ah, there he is!' he thought as he saw him laying with his head on the table.
But something about him was off.

During class the teacher called on minho multiple times, even though Minho tried his best to answer everything, it was obvious that he wasn't feeling well.

"Lee Minho, are you okay? You look pale." Asked his math teacher, Ms. Kim

"Yes I'm alright, i just have a bit of a headache." answered Minho,wiping some sweat off his forehead.

The class finally came to an end.
Minho stumbled out of the class, he felt very light-headed, it seemed like he was about to pass out. Some kids bumped into him because he wasn't able to control his balance, but instead of helping, they yelled at him for being in the way.

"Minho, you're definitely not okay, please sit down."

Minho recognised this voice from somewhere. When he looked up, he immediately knew who this person was.

It was jisung.

"do you want me to give you some of my water?" jisung asked.

"n-no it's okay, i have my own in my bag, you can just give me that one" Minho said before he could realise that other things were in his bag, some that he doesn't want people to see.

As jisung was rummaging through Minhos bag, he found a bottle of pills, he automatically read the label, only to quickly put it back and pretend like he never saw it.
He opened the water bottle and gave it to minho.

"shouldn't you call your parents? You really can't stay at school in this state" jisung stated.

"well my mother isn't at home, she's coming back tomorrow" Minho said after he took a sip of the water.

"and your dad?"

As soon as he asked that question, he felt the energy shift.

"uhm- he isn't home either" muttered minho.

"well then....can you wait here for a bit?"
Jisung didn't let him answer and spoke again. "here's my phone number, I'll be gone just for a little while, if anything happens and you feel worse or something, call me."
And with that he rushed off somewhere.

...

Jisung went to the teacher to tell her what's going on.

"a-and now he's not feeling well, so he has to go home but he can't be there because nobody is there and-" jisung quickly stuttered.

"woah, slow down Han Jisung, if you really want to help him, i can give you a pass so you can go home to take care of him, would that work?" suggested Ms. Kim.

"um- yeah, that would work i guess..." answered jisung. He was a little unsure about this idea since Minho doesn't really like him. But it's for Minho's health so he didn't ponder for long.

Eventually jisung got the pass from the head teacher, he wasted no time and ran to minho.

"what took you so long?" asked minho when he saw jisung running up to him.

"I'll explain when we get to your house, now show me the way"

...

Minho's state was progressively getting worse. From a headache he went to feeling completely weak and nauseous, jisung held him carefully the whole way, making sure he's alright.

Jisung unlocked the front door to Minho's house, he went inside and helped the weak boy get on his bed.
After that he went to the kitchen to make him some porridge, although he wasn't ready experienced at cooking, it was something he was at least able to make.

"you know that you don't have to take care of me right?" uttered Minho.
Minho felt guilty for wasting Jisungs time just because he's a little sick.

"yes i know, but i chose to take care of you, so be quiet and eat the porridge i made you."  Jisung insisted that he really wanted to take care of Minho, and the fact that he was missing school on a Thursday wasn't bothering him either.

After eating Minho fell asleep, so jisung finally got some time to think about all the stuff that has happened today, and maybe to explore the house a little.

He looked around Minho's room, there was a giant bookshelf, just boring school stuff on his table like homework and pens, there were even some... Cat toys?
'I never noticed any cats around here' thought Jisung. He kept looking at some things in his room, until he found a picture, it was Minho, probably his mother and Father with him on a hike. They looked so happy, ever since minho came to their school, he's never seen him smile like that.
Suddenly he remembering the bottle of pills he found in the backpack. Jisung read the label only briefly but it was enough to know that they were antidepressants. 'Was minho depressed? What happened to this poor boy?' all those questions were going through jisungs mind, maybe Minho will tell him himself sometime, he doesn't want to stick his nose in Minho's business.

He left the room, and the cat toys finally made sense when he looked in the living room and saw three cats sleeping on the couch.

"aww" jisung couldn't hold himself back from absolutely melting at the cute sight.

But since it was already late and he didn't want to wake up Minho or the cats he decided it's the time to leave.
Before he left he put some cat food in three bowls along with some bowls of water, he also left minho a note saying 'call me when you wake up or if you still don't feel well tomorrow, ill take care of you :)  btw i fed the cats so don't worry^^'
