a little girl was walking through a dimly lit alley back to the park, as instructed by the older guy as he was buying ice cream for the both of them. all of a sudden, she heard some rustling from behind her. thinking that it was just the wind blowing up some stranded items, she continued forward. but she got extremely scared when a huge, bury hand landed on her tiny shoulders, causing her to jump a little. she turned around and was faced with a man who was much larger than her who seemed in his late 30s. his hands creeped around her tiny body, threatening to bring harm to her. the girl squinted her eyes close, hoping for a miracle to happen somehow. as she kept on walking backwards, her back finally hit the wall. just as she decided to give up any hope, it was as if the sun finally shone on an almost dying plant. the elder guy appeared out of nowhere, sending a punch across the attacker's face. shocked, he held onto the impacted area on his face and immediately ran away. "are you okay?" the boy asked worriedly as he placed his hands on the little girl's shoulders that were currently bobbing up and down as she was crying.

as if someone really touched my shoulders, i woke up from the tiny shock i got. my forehead was covered in cold sweat and my heart was still thumping so quickly. breathing rapidly, i placed the back of my hand against my forehead and felt heat radiating. sigh... i have a fever. it was then that i noticed that rays of sunlight were shining through the window, and that i realised that it was already the next morning. however, being the extremely lazy girl i was, i refused to go back to rest or get some medicine. instead, i got myself dressed up in a windbreaker jacket, black tights and sports shoes. i decided to go out for a morning jog, thinking that the cool breeze could possibly help my fever subside.

i headed out to the neighbourhood park, the place i would frequent every weekend morning, at times even together with seungyoon. i took a sip of water from my water bottle before beginning to jog lightly. i passed by various places, places that i shared many moments with seungyoon. why the heck does everything remind me of him? the bench we once sat at together where he helped to wipe off my sweat, the running track where he once squatted down to help tie my shoelaces that came loose, the pavilion we stood under together to avoid the sudden downpour and where he gave me a peck on the cheek... i sighed at the old memories. as the sun became warmer all of a sudden, i curled my fingers slightly and placed my hand in front of my eyebrows. more sweat came trickling down my forehead and my vision started to become blurrier. i felt dizzier and dizzier as the world around me began to spin. i tried shaking my head and focusing on the track in front of me but obviously failed. my legs finally weakened and gave in as my whole body fell down onto the hard concrete ground. the last thing i remembered before blacking out was a familiar voice calling out to me frantically and a pair of hands carrying me up, the feeling from the touch which i was already comfortable with by now.

i stirred to my senses when i heard some voices talking somewhere near me.

"she's out of danger, she just needs to rest well." it sounded like a female.

"ah, yes, thank you very much." it was the same voice as the one calling my name before i passed out.

i opened my eyes and even though the figures were back facing me, i could tell that it was seungyoon and a nurse. i then took a look around my surroundings and knew that i was in a hospital. seungyoon must have saw me fainting and brought me to the hospital i guess? just then, i spotted him turning around and i immediately shut my eyes again. i didn't even know why, i just felt like avoiding him and not wanting him to know that i had already woke up.

footsteps became louder as they stopped beside my bed. seungyoon heaved out a sigh as he sat down on a chair that creaked slightly. i felt his huge but cold hand on my forehead, as if to check if my fever had subsided. has he been staying in the hospital for some time already? i heard some rustling followed by what sounded like zips being opened up. it seemed like seungyoon constantly knocked his hand against something that produced a wooden-like sound. a soft melody began playing and i could tell that he was playing the guitar — one of his favourite things ever. as he strum, he began to sing softly.

seungyoon's singing voice was so sweet and soothing. in that instant, i wanted to get up and praise him for singing so well, but i held myself back. for some reason, i just didn't want to see him being all worried about me when he clearly shouldn't. i had planned to stay 'asleep' until seungyoon left, but things always go against what you wish for. i couldn't refrain myself from sneezing, and that was when he finally noticed.

"you're awake?" he asked worriedly.

"uh..."

"are you feeling better now? you're so silly, if you have a fever you should rest instead of going out to jog! thank god i spotted you or else who could imagine what would have happened?"

seungyoon hadn't changed a single bit. he was still so caring and looked out for me a lot, just like an elder brother. oh well, he is my brother. i remained silent as i stared down blankly at the blanket.

"you... hah..." he sighed, "i guess you really hate the sight of me right? it's alright, i understand. i'll leave then. have a good rest and drink lots of water okay?"

seungyoon got up, grabbed his guitar bag and left. i felt sorry as i saw his back view. it looked so lonely as his shoulders drooped down low. mianhae seungyoon-ah... if i could i definitely wouldn't ignore you like this... please just forget about me alright? it's the best for both of us...
