Day & Night [Heeseung X Karina]

Insane

A few days later, Heeseung finds himself surprised to see Karina's name flashing on his phone screen. Usually, it would be him calling her first and never her.

Something must've been wrong.

"Yes, darling?" Almost immediately he questions, wanting to be of service.

The other end of the phone was silent for the first few seconds, unstable breaths accompanying his ears. Alarm bells immediately went off his head.

"Heeseung ... it hurts ... so bad," she finally mutters, a chocked sob leaving her throat after.

His blood immediately ran cold.

"Where are you darling? Is someone hurting you?" He ran out of his dorm, leaving whatever he was doing behind and started the engine to his orange truck.

"I'm home alone and I ... -uhm," she paused, sobbing.

"Sweetheart ... please tell me what's the problem so that I can help you," he coaxed her softly and Karina finally gave in.

"I'm ... i'm on my period and the cramps are so bad. Can you please come over I-" a wince left her throat before continuing.

"There's no one home. I need you," she whined.

"I'll be there in 10," Heeseung hangs up and speeds down the campus, stopping by the pharmacy to pick up some things for her before finally arriving at her dormitory.

He's never entered her room before, only dropping her off by the door after their random impromptu dates. Knocking onto the door rapidly, he calls out her name, not getting any response. So, he tried the knob and it was unlocked. Furrowing his eyes worriedly, he enters her room slowly, eyes scanning around for her figure.

"Darling? I'm here!" He exclaims, entering the room to look for her, but she was not in there.

His steps fasten and he finds her body crouched onto the ground in her bathroom, dry tears staining her cheeks.

"Sweetheart-!"

"Sseungie," she lets out a needy whine, and he collects her off the ground and into his lap in worry.

"Where does it hurt? Tell me,"

She points to her tummy and he brought her out to her room and onto her bed. Taking out the heat pack he got from the pharmacy, he presses it over her stomach and she finally lets out a sigh of relief.

"Here. I got these medicines and after that we can eat ice cream together, okay?"

Karina nodded, gratitude written all over her face. She was so glad she took that leap of faith and called him and pushed her ego to the side.

They spent the entire day in her room, and gradually as night came, she was feeling better.

Heeseung stepped into the room with something he cooked. Albeit, he wasn't the best cook, but he wouldn't allow her to lift even a single finger at all the entire day. His darling had been in pain after all.

"Damn you cook? How much more perfect can you be?" Karina blurted, and he chuckled in reply.

"Only for you darling,"

Karina really can't believe this younger boy was treating her exactly the way people around her has been treating her all her life — like a princess. In the beginning, she really thought that if she were to get into a relationship with him, it would be her taking care of him all the time, since she was older.

"You really don't mind? Me being a noona?" She asked after taking a bite out of the spoon he was holding out.

Heeseung shrugged. "What's wrong with you being a noona? Did anyone talked shit about your age?"
