Unexpected Week

Day 5. The truth

I woke up due to a big noise, as if something fell. I opened my eyes as big as I could and saw nothing. I went back to sleeping; but then I heard a noise as if something was being dragged. I got up this time to discover the source of the noises. As long as it wasn't any ghost I was ok, but my knees weren't, they were shaking like jelly. I checked the clock and it was barely 5am; no wonder it was still dark. 

So with all the courage I could sum up I walked, or more like gave little steps because I was afraid of what I could come across with. I heard the noise louder by the kitchen, so I walked towards it touching everything with my hands. I turned on the lights and when my eyes adjusted to the sudden light I found a body lying on the floor. At first I thought it was some kind of corpse or some creepy creature and froze for a minute, but then, I realized it looked like noona and when I got even closer I noticed it was her. I ran to her to see what had happened.

-Noona, are you ok? 

 I crouched and took her head, and then I noticed she was burning in a fever. I put my arms around her knees and shoulders and carried her back to her room. When I entered I noticed everything was in order, she must have slept without cover. I put her on the bed and covered her with some blankets. I quickly got out and went to get some water and a towel. I soaked it in the water and squeezed it a bit. I went back to her room and put the towel on her forehead. Then I heard she was whispering something. I got closer to hear. 

 -My head hurts. Can you get me a pill? 

I nodded and went to get it. I found some in the first-aid kit near where she collapsed. But I also found a picture inside an open drawer of her when she was little smiling happily next to a woman, her mother, and a man that I supposed was her father. I haven't heard anything about her father. Is he dead? As I looked at the picture I smiled, she looked really happy and to think that later on she had to go through bad things. 

 I took out a bottle of water from the fridge and walked back to where noona was. I incorporated her a bit so she could take the pill and drink some water. After swallowing she let herself drop and thanked me. I turned the towel in her forehead and she closed her eyes. She was breathing heavily and in her face I could see she was really suffering. I didn't know what to do. I had never taken care of sick person before. I didn't know where the nearest hospital was and didn't know someone who could help me. Just my mother. That's it! I can call her! But I needed to use a computer to do so. 

 -Noona, can I use your computer? – She nodded. I got up and went to grab her laptop. I needed the password – Can you tell me the password? 

 -21-12-95 – she said with a sleepy voice. That's my birth day. Oh but maybe it means something else for her. When I got in, I immediately logged into Skype to see if my brother or mother were on. Nice! My brother was on! So I called him. 

-Hello, hyung! Is my mother there? 

-Hi, yeah, I think she's here. Is something wrong? You look agitated.

 -Yeah, a friend is sick and I don't know what to do. I can't take... him to a clinic, so I need her help – Sorry noona, I had to make you a guy. 

-Oh, I see. Wait, I will get her – My brother stood up and heard him call my mother. I heard footsteps and that beautiful lady appeared. 

-Hello, my dear! How have you been? Have you been eating well? – My mom always with a big smile.-Hello, mom. I've been well and I've been eating well too. I need your help, mom – She looked at me with a concerned face – I got a friend who is sick, he's got a fever and it doesn't get down. He already took some medicine but I don't think it's having effect.
