The sun rays paving through the window made Y/n's sleepy trance half awaken. The aroma of freshly cooked breakfast being served in the cafeteria reached her nostrils. Her eyes were still heavy with the sleep when she curiously made her way towards the cafeteria, her steps, slow and drowsy.
*BANG!*
The coldness of the floor on her skin and the small bump on her forehead made her eyes stretch open, making her realize that she just crashed into the wooden entrance.
"Aghhh!"
Y/n groaned in frustration, while her hands gently caressed the bruised area of her forehead.
Moments later, her stomach growled, making her steps move forward, towards the bathroom.
While sitting on the toilet seat, the chestnut-haired girl stared at the white tiled wall in front of her and anticipated that the digestive medicine she had taken last night should have worked by now, making her stomach clean from the thing that was treating it.
Y/n then quickly took a warm shower and picked a regular baggy outfit.
"Maybe I should just go straight to the doctor," she murmured to herself while peacefully combing her hair, confusion and worry filled her mind as she again felt the slow churning inside her belly.
*Knock knock*
Y/n's head swung towards the door of her room, and she proceeded to grab the doorknob. The door creaked open and a low-pitched 'startling voice' echoed in her ears, making Y/n startled in response.
"What?! Jihoon!"
"Oops, I got scared by your eyebags."
Jihoon sarcastically replied, and Y/n gave him a look of disbelief, before letting him step inside her room.
"What are you doing here, sneaking inside the girls' dorm? What if the warden catches you?" Y/n showered her friend with questions.
The young male perched at the corner of Y/n's bed with his arms inclined on it, as his eyes traced the details of his friend's room.
"I was with Hoseok in the cafeteria and he asked about your whereabouts."
Jihoon blurted while looking straight into Y/n's eyes, as if not wanting to miss the chance of capturing her reaction.
Y/n's jaw slightly slacked down and her eyes widened in astonishment, while her mind already swooned over the little information.
"You weren't seen in your favorite spot for like thirty minutes, so I came here to inform you that you just missed an opportunity," Jihoon continued and teasingly added before giggling at his dearest friend's dumbfounded trance, standing frozen in the middle of the room.
Shortly after, Y/n came back to her senses and opened her mouth to confront him, but an excruciating pain arose in her lower abdomen, making her land on her knees. Y/n groaned in pain and closed her eyes while her one hand tightly held her stomach.
The blond head sitting on her bed abruptly stood up after getting stunned for a moment, and as soon as he realized something wasn't right, he knelt in front of her, supporting her meekly trembling form.
"What is happening Y/n?!"
Y/n peered into his eyes, her vision blurred by the painful tears, "I don't... k-know?" She stammered before she inhaled a long deep breath as the pain gradually evanesced.
"Y/n! What's happening?! You're hiding something, right?" Jihoon said in a confronting tone.
She heaved a sigh and looked straight into Jihoon's still-worried eyes, "You know, that night when Kyla's canary was eaten up by some creature... I wasn't asleep. I heard something metallic clash and fell to the ground with faint voices of canary chirping. At first, I thought it was Kyla playing with it, but then I heard maybe a dog growling or should I say, coughing?!"
