Pretty Flowers For A Pretty Girl

First Person POV

"Achoo!" Sana's constant sneezes were heard by everyone. Not only had she sprained her ankle but she also caught a cold, because of me.

I grimaced and assisted her to her room, helping her sit on the bed.

"I told you not to stay so close to me, didn't I? Look at you now!" She frowned and pouted at me scolding her.

"But I wanted to hug you~!"

"You could have hugged literally anyone else." I rubbed my temples.

"I wanted to hug YOU." She emphasized on the word 'you', making my heart skip a beat.

"O-Ok, whatever! J-Just... I'll get you something warm to eat. A-And our manager said you have to go to the doctor tomorrow morning." She nodded and l left the room to go to the kitchen.

"I heard Sana sneezing." Mina's back was turned to me as she prepared something.

"Yeah, she has a cold. Will probably catch a fever too, her body felt warm." I leaned against the counter, watching her make sandwiches.

"Of course you'd know." Momo appeared out of nowhere and back-hugged Mina.

"S-Sorry?" I blushed furiously at her statement, asking even though I understood exactly what she meant.

Momo just shrugged and I turned away to hide my face. I took out some ingredients to make porridge for Sana. I poured hot milk into a glass and took out some cookies because she really likes those.

Once everything was prepared, I placed it all on a tray and carried it to our room.

As soon as I entered, I saw that Sana was breathing heavily and her entire face was red. Her condition seemed severe and the tray almost fell out of my hands.

"S-Sana!" I placed it on a small table and rushed to her side. 

I felt her temperature by pressing the back of my palm against her forehead and she was burning up. Her immune system must be really frail if she caught a fever this easily, and the fact that she was so exhausted earlier today doesn't help. Her body must be feeling very weak.

"C-Cold..." She mumbled quietly, her eyes just barely open.

I quickly pulled a blanket over her and made sure she was comfortable. I then helped her sit up and placed the tray on my lap, feeding her the porridge.

"Does it t-taste ok...?" I asked hesitantly. Nothing really tastes good when you have a fever, and loss of appetite is a symptom too. She nodded in response and I breathed out a sigh of relief.

Once she was full, I placed the empty dishes aside and gave her an Advil tablet along with some water which she swallowed, seeming a little better a few moments later.

I was gently caressing her cheeks when I saw a small smile appear on her face which took me aback. How can she look so darn cute even when she's so sick?

"W-Wait here... I'll go get a wet towel." I left our room to go get a dry towel and a bowl of tepid water. I rinsed the towel with water and placed it on her forehead. I did this about ten times before I noticed she fell asleep. She was snoring softly and looked very peaceful.

I cleared everything up and started washing the dishes in the kitchen. Jihyo entered to get some water for herself.

"J-Jihyo! Sana-chan has a fever, and it's pretty high too."

She stopped drinking the water and turned around to face me.

"Really? Is she okay? Did you give her medicine?" She seemed really worried too.
