Written In The Stars (B×B)

Chapter 12

Yesterday Yejun did a lot of stupid careless things that made him so sick. He headed out in the scorching heat of Sunday afternoon to get something to eat. He then found a dog and started to pet it. He also helped an old grandfather to cross the road. He was sweating so badly and he is heat sensitive person. He even drank chilled juice in that hot weather.

And everything in collaboration gave him a heat stroke. At night he started feeling really weak and dizzy. He knew something was wrong. Jaeyoung asked to talk on call as they do daily but Yejun refused and they talked on chats. He thought maybe it was just tiredness and he would feel better in the morning so he didn't tell Jaeyoung about it. He slept in the hope of feeling better but in the morning it became worse. He didn't even use AC as he thought it might worsen his condition.

He was lying on the bed, his body and head aching so badly. His temperature was not dropping. It felt like he was walking around a volcano. He knew something was really wrong.

He gathered all the strength he had and went to visit his neighbour who is a doctor. She was in a hurry to go to the clinic but still, she gave him time, examined him and diagnosed that he got a heat stroke.

She gave him medicines that she had and asked him to be in the AC and have a cold-water bath and a lot more things that Yejun couldn't comprehend as he was dizzy. He thanked her, came home, took a chill bath, had his AC at 16 and only had a tank top and shorts on.

He started feeling a little better but had no energy to eat anything so he couldn't even have his medicines. He was only having chilled water.

Eunho also called him and he wasn't even able to reply properly. When Jaeyoung texted him, he felt good that he cared but was also disappointed that he didn't call him. He knows he has no right to be upset when he himself didn't tell him but hey, even if not from him then from somebody he got to know that he isn't well.

And there was nothing but just a message. Yejun pouted. He thought maybe he was in the class so he waited for a very long but still... no call from him. Not even a follow-up message.

Is he expecting a lot? He is ill maybe that's why he is feeling clingy and overthinking everything. He shouldn't take advantage of his illness to get Jaeyoung's attention but he won't lie. He craves for it. And calling your boyfriend when he is sick is the bare minimum one can do. He isn't expecting him to come all over here.

"I guess he is occupied with a lot of work. I am sure he would have called me if he was free" Yejun bit his lip at his reasoning. Obviously, work comes before the boyfriend and that too of 4 months.

"I think I might have also not called him if I was busy with work. Yes, I wouldn't have" But he knows he is lying to himself to give justification for the whole scenario. He would have left everything just to be with his boyfriend.

Yejun kept waiting for his call- but when nothing came. He just slept. Around 4 PM, he heard a bell ringing at his door and then the door opened- it was definitely his friends as only they knew his door code.

"Yejun-ah" He heard Eunho's whisper of his name. The three of them were slowly walking towards his room thinking he might be asleep.

So, Yejun decided to answer so that they knew he wasn't asleep. "Eunho" he replied. The others then quickly came to his home and then the three looked at him with face drained of colours.

"Oh my God, babes... you look so sick. Your face is so pale" Eunho worriedly and hurriedly sat beside him and put his hand on his forehead to check Yejun's temperature.

The other two also gathered around him and looked at him with worry. "You feel hot, I think you still have a fever. You don't have a thermometer?" Eunho asked.
