Never forget | Operation True Love

  me and Su Ae were attending extra math classes to improve our ranking, since we are in the lower group. Today, Dohwa didn't come , and the teacher inquired about his absence.

   Some students informed that Dohwa hadn't been coming to school for a few days. I recalled him mentioning his three part-time jobs.

  After the class ended, the teacher asked if anyone knew how to contact Dohwa to give him the homework.

  Without hesitation, I offered to help, mentioning that Dohwa and I were close, and the teacher Provide me with his address .

I promptly began making my way to the given address, although it proved to be quite challenging to locate. After a considerable amount of time, I finally managed to arrive at Building 102, where I needed to find Apartment No. 403.

In my way , I attempted to contact Dohwa on the phone, but unfortunately, it was powered off.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, I accidentally collided with someone. Upon closer inspection, I realized that the person I pumped into was Dohwa, whose face was marred with bruises.

Concerned for his well-being, I approached him and tenderly touched his face.

"Who did this to you?" Instead of answering, he leaned his head onto my shoulder , due to exhaustion.

He leaned on me helping him until we arrived at the apartment.

As we stepped inside , we lost our balance and I fell to the ground. In the process, he also stumbled and ended up on top of me. Despite his attempt to apologize and get up, he suddenly lost consciousness while still on top of me , he was heavy and his body burning from fever .

I wrapped his hand gently around my neck while I placed my hand around his torso, and we moved together as he was nearly semi unconscious  towards the room. Once there, I carefully laid him down on the Sponge mattress and covered him with a blanket.

Immediately after, I hurriedly left to fetch him some medication.

I went back to him and he was sleeping. I tried to wake him up softly .

He opened his eyes weekly .

"You must take this," I said softly . and proceeded to personally give him the medication before he went back to sleep again.

I stayed with him until he woke up, watchful and contemplating who might have harmed him, until I unintentionally fell asleep.

When I woke up, I noticed Dohwa right in front of me, closely examining me. This unexpected appearance caught me off guard. "Dohwa, are you feeling better now?" I asked.

He looked away and replied, "I'm pretty hungry. Do you wanna eat something ?" rubbing his neck.

In the kitchen, where I was seated by the table, he began to cook ramyun for us. Curious about what had transpired, he questioned me, he couldn't remember how I met him. I proceeded to recount everything to him, starting from the very beginning.

After receiving my plate from him, we began our meal.

  I observed him eating while standing. I inquired, "Why don't you take a seat?". "I live by myself and only have one chair ."

I rose up, " You should take a seat as you are still unwell."
"I'm not in such a terrible state that I can't stand".

" However, I am not heartless enough to let you eat while standing when your body is still in need of recovery" .

I compelled him to sit down and sensed that he was partially content with my efforts .

After we finished eating, I packed up my belongings and he escorted me to the door . “Don’t forget to take your medicine and eat well. And doing your homework I put it on the desk for you, otherwise I will have to come again.”
