School just went on as normal but Dohwa didn't seem to bother me today. I didn't see him anywhere and didn't pop out suddenly like he normally does. 

'I wonder why'

I was out in the mall right when Su-ae messaged me to go to a certain address..

'so..that's why I didn't see him today'

I made my way to the grocery store before going over to the said address. I immediately called a cab over as I finished up buying some stuff.

I met up with Su-ae by the door as I got into the the floor that was indicated on the address.

"Iseah! You're here. Thank you for coming" Su-ae greeted me as soon as I saw her. 'Hm I didn't even expect her to tell me to come here'

"Hello, it just happens that I have some time. You owe me 'kay?" I chuckled out as I walked closer to her. 

"Yes yes I owe you a bunch"  She then ran off before I could question her further. "W-wait Su-ae-"

'And she's gone..'

I let out a sigh as I watched her figure disappear in a distance. I turned over to the left open door and closed the door after I made it inside.

"Excuse me, I'm inviting myself in!" I chimed in as I took off my shoes, leaving it by the entrance. 

'Seems like he lives alone' I thought as I walked through the hall and saw his sleeping figure on a mattress by the floor.

I set the bags down by the table carefully and walked over to Dohwa's sleeping figure, crouching down to peak at him. "Hm.." I hummed out as I touched his forehead, 'He's warm..his cheeks are red too'

I stood up again and looked for a towel before wetting it with water and placed it gently on his forehead. 'That should cool him a bit' I thought as I went over the stuff I bought and thought of cooking some food.

I cooked some stew and set it nicely into a bowl before going over to his spot and sat on the floor. "Dohwa" I called out softly, trying to wake him up.

"Mmmm.."

"Dohwa" I called out again, his eyes slowly opened and closed again before he spoke. "Su-ae..?"

'Guess you do like her that you're seeing things huh' I said in my head as I shook my head gently.

"I'm Iseah, not Su-ae" I chuckled out. "Sorry to disappoint you"

"I-iseah?" He suddenly sat up, the towel falling on his lap as he stared at me with wide eyes. "H-how did you get here?"

"Su-ae told me to come" I answered calmly as I set the food in front of him. 

"Where is she?"

"She said she had to go so that's why I'm here" I said as I motioned over to his food. "Eat before it gets cold"

"Oh."

"Oi eat" I repeated as I narrowed my eyes at him, I saw him look over at the food then at me. "Did you make this?" he asked, pointing over at the bowl.

"Yeah. Got a problem with that?" I said while raising my eyebrows at him.

"Did you poison this? I think this is the best moment to do so"  'Haaah?'

"If I wanted to kill you, I would've done so earlier when you were sleeping so peacefully" I let out a tsk before shaking my head but then I heard him laugh. 'What's so funny?'

"You're interesting" He said as he picked up the spoon beside the bowl and started to eat, "This is good wow"

"Of course it is, I made it" I said smugly, crossing my arms cooly. "Just eat and stop talking"

 "Yes ma'am" He replied, stuffing his mouth with food.

I watched him as he finished up his food, even while eating he looks good...heaven sure does have favorites.

"Done watching?" His eyes met up with mine as he grins over at me once he sets the bowl down to the floor.

"Shut up" I said as I stood up and grabbed his bow to clean it. "Don't forget to drink your meds, I bought some for you"

"I'll pay you back" I heard him say which made me chuckle. "No it's alright, you don't have to do that" I answered as I set the clean bowl down to dry off and went over to get my things.

"It also has a first aid kit there, clean up your wounds every now and then" My eyes glanced over at his face which had bandages on them, knowing it came from his dad.

He just stayed quiet as I kept on talking, "I'll get going now okay? You seem to be doing better" I picked up my bag and smiled at him then waved my hand gently. 

"Mhm, thank you Iseah" He muttered out before he started to get up, I went up to him and shook my head. "Stay in bed"

"I have to see you out" He replied plainly but I pushed him back to his bed.

"I'll be fine just sleep" I sighed out as he stared at me with confusion. "I'll get going now, thank you for having me" I bowed my head slightly before dashing out for the door before he can follow me.
