the walk back home was silent, i open the door and look at Jaeyun's drained eyes and my heart shatters. He runs to me and pulls me into his tight embrace. "suyeon, are you okay?" tears drop from his eyes, he was really worried and that just made me feel worse for my dramatic out burst.
sunghoon closes the door and leaves, when he found me he called jaeyun to let him know that I was okay.
when he pulls me out of his embrace I end up sneezing multiple times and then jaeyun realized that I'd be catching a cold.
his hand is placed on my forehead and on my neck, "it's starting to get hot, go get changed quickly I'll try finding meds."
—— MORNING
the night was rough because I couldn't stop coughing and sneezing due to the cold rain that poured down on my head.
sunghoon got the call from jake to tell the teacher that he was going to absent but he himself didn't go to school either, instead he walked into our house. "sunghoon why aren't you at school?!"
"to help out, after all I caused this."
"but your attendance record-"
"I don't care about that, friends are there for each other and you usually end up getting sick yourself from trying to get suyeon better. I'll help out."
"suyeon's dead asleep though."
sunghoon shrugged, "I got your homework from all the teachers. But I pretty much did most of them already." he grinned.
Jaeyun snickers, "show off."
jake goes up to the stairs with the thermometer, and enters Suyeon's room. Her head was elevated on the pillow and she was dead asleep with her mouth wide open making it easier for Jaeyun to pop the thermometer in her mouth.
a 101 degree fever, on the way upstairs I made sure to bring an ice pack for her. I placed it on top of her head, because jake mentioned earlier that she was feeling really hot.

"you know sunghoon, you should really be at school. Think of all of the missing assignments that you'll have today."
"i told you I'm staying here and I got all of the normal for the whole week just in case I need it." he shrugs at the older male.
"are you hinting that you think I'm going to be sick for the whole week?" A frail voice questions, her eyes not even wanting to budge open.
sunghoon's face turned hot, as in crimson red. He was so humiliated that his cheeks could melt off, "I didn't mean it like that." he clears up.
"why are you even here in the first place, you're giving up school today to be here? There's a test in english so you might want to change your mind. It's 8 am and you're late."
"why are you sticking your nose in my business?"
SUNGHOON —-
"I could've asked you the same thing last night?" she folds her arms, eyes still remained closed and her voice as brittle as ever. If she wasn't so sick, I would've fired back at her.
"why are you in such a fit with me already, I'm taking care of you." I pushed her head with my index finger.
"I have Jaeyun in this room for a reason. You can leave as you please, no one is going to stop you. You're going to have a lot of tests to make up, that's serious sunghoon. " her eyes finally open, and first thing they lay on is on Jaeyun.
"I'll be fine, Suyeon."
he hands her a pill and a water bottle, "take it slowly."
"sunghoon... do you know how to cook?" jake tilts his head out of curiosity. Cook? If I even stepped foot in the kitchen or attempted to cook, the kitchen would burst in flames.
but I didn't want to admit to that. "just a little." I use the space between my index and thumb to present the amount, which was very tiny.
she snickered, "he is so lying." she muttered under her breath, but I was able to hear.
