Jeong-In looks at you with a bit hesitant. He didn't know how to get your attention. It has been a week since the funeral you are not eating. He was worried about your health. He knows how close you and your grandpa were. It was hard to accept that you just lost your grandpa. He always becomes your first person to share your feelings and problems. Now that he is gone, you don't know who will listen to your feelings.

"Noona. We're home." He said as he stopped the car at the parking lot of the apartment. He looks at you as you open the door and get out of the car. The way you walk already makes him worry. He went out as well and followed you behind not forgetting to get your and his belongings from the backseat.

The darkness suddenly hits you when your body is heating up. Jeong-In saw it and he quickly ran toward you before you fell to the ground. Luckily someone was there and caught you with his hand.

"Are you ok, miss?" The guy asked. Jeong-In went to them with worry. He looks at the person who is holding you.

"Thank you, hyung. She has a bad day." Jeong-In said. He put down the bags and grabbed your arm to carry you upstairs to your apartment floor.

"Let me help you." The guy said as he took the bags while Jeong-In carried you on his back. The guy glances at you as Jeong-In walks to the front.
"If I can know, what happened to her?" He suddenly asked as soon as they entered the elevator.

"Our grandpa just died. He is a close family member for her. Since the funeral, she hasn't eaten anything. She also got a fever and did not get better yet. That's why she looks so weak." Jeong-In explained with you on his back. He could feel something wet on his shoulder.
"She can't stop crying." He added. The elevator opened and they went out to their apartment.

"That was tough for her." He said. Jeong-In press the pin on the door lock and opens the door for both of them. Then he went to put you in the room.

"Thank you for helping me. Anyway, I'm Jeong-In." He said to introduce himself to the elder.

"Hyunjin. I'm staying at the front of yours." He said to introduce himself. Jeong-In went to make both of them some drinks while talking. After a moment, they suddenly heard someone sobbing. Jeong-In glances at your room and sighs.

"I guess she still has a fever. Can I ask you to watch her for a while? I'm going to get some meds at the pharmacy." Jeong-In said which shocked the elder.

"W-what? But-"
"Thank you, hyung! I won't be long." Jeong-In said without letting Hyunjin finish talking as he was rushed out of the apartment.

"What should I do?" He sighs and finds a towel on the cabinet if they keep it there. Luckily he found it in the left drawer next to the fridge. He went to get a bowl of cold water and went to your room.
"Sorry for intruding in your room, miss." He said and went to the side of the bed where you were sleeping.

You were deep in sleep when you felt something cold on your forehead. It makes you half awake. You thought it was your brother since there was no one else in your apartment. You turn your body to face his side without opening your eyes.

"Don't leave me." You mumbles taking his hand into yours.

On the other side, Hyunjin was surprised to see you grabbing his hand. He didn't know what to do. What if you suddenly opened your eyes and saw him? What could happen to him? Many thoughts ran through his mind. While he was in thoughts, he felt you grab him hard as if she was trying to get some comfort.

He didn't know how long he was there until he heard someone open the front door. Jeong-In enters the apartment but surprisingly he doesn't see Hyunjin anywhere. When he entered your room, he saw the elder sitting on the floor while looking at him.

"She didn't let me go." He whispered. Jeong-In went to his side and let her hand off him.

"She rarely got sick. But if she did, she a bit clingy." Jeong-In explained. Hyunjin excuses himself to get out of there since Jeong-In is already home.

~~~

You feel a little bored alone at home since Jeong-In has a morning class. You got up from the bed and went to the front. You feel a bit better than before. You went to the kitchen and saw something was on the table. You just smile at the meals. Jeong-In did take care of you very well. After finishing the food, you take the meds and go to the couch as the laziness hits you.

You just lying on the couch when someone opens the door. You glance at the clock on the wall. You remember that one of Jeong-In's friends has an afternoon class. Maybe he asked his friend to look after me since he was in class.

"Oh? Are you awake? Jeong-In asked me to come over to see you if you need anything." You heard Changbin's voice as soon as he entered the house.
"But I got lunch for you." He added walking towards you. You look at him with tiredness.

"Thank you." You said and closed your eyes. He came closer and touched your forehead. You are a bit shocked and open your eyes to see him.

"Getting better than yesterday. You gave trouble to your new neighbour yesterday." He said while taking out the food from the paper bag for you. You got to sit properly and stare at him.

"My neighbour?" You asked.

"Yes. He said you didn't let him go and keep holding his hand." He said as he unpacked the food.
"But don't worry, he is fine." He added. You say nothing and eat the food he bought for you. He stared at you hesitant to say but you could see it.

"What is it you want to say?" You asked which shocked him.

"I just... Sympathy for your loss. Jeong-In told us about... Grandpa. We are sorry for not being there for both of you." He said. You stopped for a while and looked at him.

"It's okay." You said. He saw your expression and went to sit next to you.

"You know we are here, noona. We know you are a strong girl. Please take care of yourself. Jeong-In was worried when you fainted that day. He can't get enough sleep. We take turns to take care of you. I know you dislike Seungmin but he was the most worried when saw you unconscious." He explained which made you a bit surprised. You sigh to hear that but it quite moves your heart.

"I not mad at him though. I love teasing him, that's all. Anyway, thank you so much for your help." You said. He just smiles to see you smile again. Later on, he leaves you to go to his class.
