Catch Me (Eugene Lee Yang)

Five

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Zach told me to give this to you." You handed him the shirt. Your hand brushed with his when he took the T-shirt. His hand was cold.

You placed your hand on his forehead. He was so hot. "Why are you dressed like that? Eugene, what happened to you?"

"Last night I got rained on and I woke up feeling like hell. My head and my entire body hurts." He answered. He was shivering by then. He began to wrap himself with the blanket he took from his couch. He must have taken it off earlier. He tried to walk. But failed because his steps faltered.

"Eugene, you need to rest." You went inside his apartment.

"I can take care of myself." He said. When clearly, he cannot.

"Please, let me take care of you." You encircled your arm around his waist to support him. "Now, where's your bedroom?" God, he was heavy. He weighed around 75 kilos.

"There, to the right." He answered.

Then with your full strength, you tried to get him to bed. You turned on the lamp on his nightstand.  You asked him, "Where are your PJs?"

"On the drawer." His voice deep and hoarse.

You opened the top one and you saw his socks and underwears.

"Which part?" But you got no answer because when you looked at him, he was already sleeping.

You opened the middle part and you saw a picture of Eugene with a girl. You took a longer look at it. It seems like that photo was taken years ago. Probably in college. There, Eugene was hugging this girl and has a wide smile on his face. And the girl was really pretty. She was a brunette with pretty brown smiling eyes. It's clear that they were a couple. They looked really happy.

"Uuuuuuggghh." You heard that sound coming from Eugene. You returned the picture back immediately and continued searching for his PJs.

When you opened the bottom one, you saw a Captain America onesie.  "Wow Eugene, you do have a nice taste for clothes."  You thought.

Returning to Eugene, you ordered him to sit up for him to wear the onesie.

It was a struggle to get him to wear the onesie. And you discovered that he is ticklish, too. When you're finished, you asked him if he has eaten dinner. He nodded. Then you looked around to find his medicine cabinet. You took a paracetamol tablet. Then you went in his kitchen to get a glass of water. You made him swallow the tablet. After that, he hugged you tight.

"Mommy, please don't leave me." He said.

What? You're his mommy, now? You just hugged him back. "Not so tough now, eh. Eugene, if you're gonna let me stay, I'll stay as long as you want me to." You said with a sad smile. If he only knew what you felt for him.

You laid him down to sleep. You took a good long look at him. He was such a mystery. And you want to know him so much more. You stroked his face with your hand. You memorized every shape, every angle. You kissed his forehead.

Then you looked around his bedroom. He has a nice bedroom. Then you felt something brushed your leg. You looked down and you saw a very cute dog. You knelt  down to meet the little fella.

"Hey there, little guy." You read his pet tag and his name is, "Pesto."

"Pesto, that's a really cool name." You rubbed his belly.

"It's nice to meet you, too." You said to the dog.

You glanced at your wristwatch, it read 10 pm. Well, it's too late now for you to go home. So you've decided to sleep on the couch. You laid there and stared at the ceiling. A couple of minutes later, you began to fall asleep....

A/N: Who's that girl? We'll  find out in the upcoming chapters. :) Thanks for reading!
