Koh lay motionless for a while. Brown had not yet come out of the bedroom. So he lay in the same place not feeling very comfortable. His fever persisted. Koh lay there until his eyes started to flutter again.

📳 Buzz Buzz!!!

Suddenly the buzzing sound startled Koh when he heard the vibrating sound on the glass table next to where he was lying causing him to open his eyes to look for the source of the sound but had to frown when he saw that it was Brown's cell phone.

"Didn't he turn off the sound completely? // Koh murmured in a faint voice before reaching out and grabbing Brown's cell phone to look.

... Toffee...

Koh froze for a moment when he saw that it was a number from a woman familiar with Brown. Koh felt like his face was getting hotter. He felt like his heart was whistling strangely and hot smoke coming out of his ears. He lied still, debating whether to answer the call instead of Brown or not. The girl was still calling Brown. But Koh decided to put it on the sofa. He didn't want to mess with Brown's affairs. Although Brown likes to mess with his affairs. Koh also didn't want to hear or know what the girl would say or make an appointment with Brown so he turned to face the sofa and then covered the blanket with his eyes closed until the line cuts off by itself. Koh lay still like that for a while when Brown walked out of the bedroom.

"You're going to sleep again? Just try to stay awake or you won't be able to sleep tonight," Brown said, but Koh didn't answer. But soon he raised his eyebrows slightly when he realised that his mobile phone changed places.

📳 Buzz .. Buzz!!!

There's a call coming in again. Koh also heard the vibration of the mobile phone. Brown picked it up and looked at it before turning to look at Koh who was lying still. Brown then pressed to answer the girl's call and sat on the sofa talking.

📞"What's up, Toffee?" Brown said to the girl, causing Koh to clench the blanket tightly. Even though his eyes were closed but Coco hadn't slept yet. He heard Brown talking on the mobile phone.

📞“Um, just arrived back this afternoon. What's wrong?" Brown asked back. Koh turned his back towards Brown and then opened his eyes. Both his eyebrows furrowed together.

📞“l can't go. It's not convenient. Let's have a chance next time...um... Okay. Let's talk later... Bye," Brown said and hung up. Before sitting and looking at Ko's back with still eyes.

“Where do you need to go?” Koh asked hoarsely.

“Why?” Brown asked back.

"Nothing, I'll have you take me home," Koh replied without looking at Brown. Brown breathed a sigh of relief before moving down from the sofa and sitting behind Coco. Then he laid down between the sofa and Coco causing him to move forward a little more to create enough space for Brown. Brown wrapped his arm around him and the other hand supported to raise his head. He looked at Koh's face with a slight smile.

“Where can I go when you're not feeling well," he said. Although it made Coco feel a little better. But it didn't make the burning feeling in his heart disappear.

“I can go home and sleep. Take the medicine for a day and the fever will be gone soon," Koh said back in a normal manner. But in his heart, it was strangely hot.

“If I were going to let you go home, go to sleep and take medicine yourself. I, probably wouldn't have brought you here in the first place. And you won't go anywhere. You will stay right here with me. So you can stop thinking about escaping already,” Brown said in a calm voice. Koh lay silent.

“When you think a lot, you prefer to be quiet rather than yelling. But if you're suspicious, you'll have to ask so that you'll be relieved, right?" Brown said, causing Koh to pause for a bit when Brown guessed what he was thinking in his mind. At this time, Koh was thinking a lot and was sceptical. But he was hesitating whether he should ask or not.
