"Urgh... my head... *sniff sniff"
Jay woke up with heavy head and stuffy nose, but it seemed that his fever had went down. He sat up and he scanned around as he didn't remember when did he sleep in his room. He touched his head which was not hurt anymore while trying to remember. His fever must be causing him to have hazy memories of what happened yesterday. Slowly he reached for his phone. It was almost 10am. Shocked that he remembered he still had to be on guard at the festival, he quickly checked his phone to inform Adam of his situation. As he was looking for Adam's contact number, he saw the message that Syiho left.
'I already informed Adam that you called in sick for today too. Another agent has already taken over your duty post for today. Rest well.'
"Sigh... Figures."
No wonder he received no calls or messages from Adam. He had already skipped work yesterday so he knew Adam would find him until the end of the world if he skipped work without notice again. He was really thankful that Syiho already informed Adam beforehand.
*Growl
'I'm hungry...'
He had been sleeping like a log since last night. The cold medicine worked somehow. Obviously, he would be famished. He got up and went to the kitchen and found a pot of porridge. He knew it was Syiho who made it and started heating up the porridge. He grabbed a bowl and sit in front of the tv while eating. Once he was finished, he went back to his bedroom and continued to sleep.
....
Dingdong!
"Hmm..." Jay tossed in his sleep. He got the day off so he just wanted to rest more. Jay has always been like that. He seldom goes out and he usually hangouts in his apartment. To him, nothing beats his comfortable bed, not even a ringing doorbell.
Dingdong! Dingdong!
The doorbell continued to ring. Since there was no answer, the delivery man decided to shout.
"Delivery!!"
"Hmmm... who is it..." Jay got up slowly and finally reached his door. He opened the door, revealing a delivery man holding a bouquet of chocolates and flowers in his hands.
"Yes?"
"Here. This is for you." The delivery man handed him the bouquet.
"Oh. Ok." Dumbfounded because he was still half asleep and not used to receiving anything, he just took it from the delivery man.
"Sign here." The delivery man took out a paper and pen and then gave it to Jay to sign.
"Thanks! Have a nice day!" The delivery man then left after Jay gave the pen back to him. Once the delivery man left, Jay shut the door and examined the bouquet that he just received.
'Huh? Did Syiho send this?' he thought.
Syiho would sometimes buy him something like this, but she would usually give it to him in person. He did wish it was from her, but he doubted it too. He then checked the bouquet and found a card. He read the card which says,
"Get well soon."
There was no name of the sender on the bouquet. However knowing that no one other than Syiho and Adam who knew that he was sick, he found it a bit weird.
'Hmm... maybe she (Syiho) forgot to put her name? I'll ask her later.'
"Huarghhh!!"
He left the bouquet on the table and went back to sleep again.
...
Beep.
It was 9pm and Syiho just got back from her duty. She decided to check on Jay since he usually keeps everything to himself because he doesn't want to worry her much. The apartment was dark. She turned on all the lights since it seemed to her that Jay was still sleeping.
