Chapter 11

Awake, but I can't fully open my eyes because they were heavy as hell. I tried to just fall back asleep because my body was weak and I still felt so sick.

"Hyejin?" Someone called me and slightly open my eyes, and through my blurry vision, I saw Taehyung.

"Yeah?" I replied. I realised I was still lying on his arm. "Uh sorry, your arm must've hurt," I quickly tried to sit upright, and wanted to get off the bed before Taehyung grabbed my shoulders and pushed me back down.

"Yah, where do you think you're going?" He chided, "Stay here, I'll go make breakfast."

"That's very rare to hear from you," I teased in a weak voice.

"Aish, you!" He almost threw a pillow at me, "If you aren't sick, I wouldn't even care."

"Right, go make my breakfast," I ordered him. He sighed and dragged his foot as he walked out of my room.

I slowly made my way to the washroom to clean myself with the very little energy I had, then went back to lay down on my bed.

Such a sickening, boring day. I was coughing my lungs out for every minute, my body felt weak, and my temperature was high eventhough I felt cold.

All I can do was to sit in bed, not even having the energy to watch K-Dramas.

Just then, Taehyung came into my room, holding a tray. He kicked the door close behind him and walked towards my bed.

"Yah, eat this," he said and put the tray with a bowl of porridge on my
lap.

I slightly frowned, "I hate porridge."

"Stop complaining and eat up," He said, sounding like a dad. He sat at the edge of my bed, staring at me and waiting for me to pick up my spoon.

I sighed, I really hate porridge. Its too soft to eat, and it feels like I'm eating someone's vomit.

Taehyung was still staring at me, "What? You want me to feed you?"

"No, I'm just-"

Before I could finish talking, Taehyung picked up the bowl of porridge and scooped up a spoonful of it. He brought it to my mouth, "Open up."

"It's still steaming hot," I made an excuse.

He rolled his eyes, but blew it to cool it off anyways. Once again, he brought the spoon to my mouth.

"Taehyung I really can't-"

He cut me off by shoving the spoon into my mouth. "Good girl," he complimented me.

I furrowed my eyebrows, feeling a little nauseous but I quickly swallowed the porridge. My eyes became watery, I really can't eat this.

He noticed me, then he sighed. "Fine fine, I won't force you," he said and put the bowl down on the lamp table by my bed. "How'd you get so sick?"

"I don't knoww..." I answered, still feeling nauseous, I quickly gulped down some water.

He took out some medicine for me, "Have these, quickly get well."

I smiled, "You're quite caring huh."

"Yeah, only because I wanna go to the theme park real quick but you're always hurt or sick," he complained.

"I take back my words," I said and snatched the medicine from him, quickly swallowing them all.

I lay back down on the bed, wrapping myself tightly with my blanket. "Why is it so cold?"

"The air-conditioner's not even on," Taehyung said, "I'm sweating."

I was shivering under my blanket. "Uh, nevermind, I'll just rest."

"Yah, are you okay?" He asked, a little concerned.

"Y-Yeah?" I replied, still shivering.

Just then, he went beside me, wrapping his arms around my body. "Are you still cold?" He asked.

I couldn't reply. I was still shivering for awhile but then I felt a little better with the heat radiating from his body. But besides, my heart was beating fast at the fact that Taehyung was somewhat hugging me. Ugh, my poor heart.

Then, I felt comfortable enough to sleep, and eventually doze off in his embrace.

***
I woke up from my nap in the afternoon, about like 4. Then I realised, Taehyung wasn't beside me.

I rubbed my eyes and got up from the bed, feeling a little better but I was still coughing.

I went out of my room and knocked on Taehyung's door, but he wasn't in. Puzzled, I went down to search for him in the living room.

Just then, I realised the door to the house was wide open. Did a burglar enter or something? I quickly crept up to the door and looked outside. I realised, Taehyung was there, at the gate, talking to a girl whom was standing at the other side of the gate.

"Taehyung please! I miss you," she begged, sounding very desperate.

My eyes widened, hearing those words. I hid behind the door, eavesdropping at their conversation.

"Soohyun, I have a wife! Just stay away from me!" He yelled at her coldly.

"I can't take it anymore! Divorce her, marry me! Please!" She begged again.

"I'm not gonna divorce, I love her. There's many other guys out there for you. Just get lost from here!" Taehyung shouted furiously at her.

"Fine," she said, defeated, "You'll regret this. I'm gonna make sure you'll come back to me. I'm gonna hurt her!"

Hearing that, I got frightened.

Taehyung turned his back on Soohyun and ignored her as he walked into the house. I quickly took a few steps back and stood frozen, unsure of how I'm gonna face him afterwards.

Taehyung came in the house and slammed the door shut, then he turned to his right when he suddenly saw me. His expression which was then a scowl turned into an emotionless face.

"Uh, hey," I said, as my legs trembled in fear. He obviously got the idea that I've heard it all.

Without saying anything, Taehyung pulled me towards him and hugged me, "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."

I was still standing rooted to the ground, clueless and confused about that lady named Soohyun. Taehyung's parents complimented her alot, but Taehyung doesn't seem to favour her at all.

He released me slowly and then held my shoulders, "I've gotta ask you to be strong to face this. 6 months, and you're done."

I nodded, but I was still staring at him blankly. Committing myself to this pretend marriage was supposed to be a breeze, but I didn't know it would be such a hassle.

"Uh," I finally spoke, "Are you hungry?"

"A little, why?" He asked.

"Let's go eat out," I suggested.
"But you're sick, you should-"

"I'm fine," I cut him off, "Let's go."
