Wish Upon A Star [EXO Fan-fiction]

Chapter 3

The weather was super hot as I walked all the way to the house on the small hill. My face was wet and I couldn't stop panting.

'I should really start working out.'

When I finally entered the dorm, the cool wind from the air-conditoner overwhelmed my face and I inhaled deeply. 'Feels like heaven.' I walked into the kitchen and started washing the dishes when I spotted Luhan hesitatingly coming up to the fridge.

"Hey," he said with his eyes fixed on the refridgerator's door. Then he kept glancing at me.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

"Uh... do you know how to cook?" He scratched the back of his head.

"Sure... why?"

"Porridge?"

"Uh... I've never really tried it myself..." I said trying to recall the time when I helped my mom cooking for Yoonho who was sick, "but I'm on it."

"Thanks a lot," he said lighting up.

"Is someone sick, though? Oh yeah, and where's D.O?" I asked distractedly. Pot. Rice. Water. Vegetables. I can do this.

"D.O. is, actually," he answered quietly.

"Oh... wait, so the rest of you didn't have breakfast or lunch?"

"We tried to order something but none of the stores were open for delivery. Plus, it's a weekend, so there might be quite a bunch of people, or even sasaengs, if we go there," he said drinking a bottle of water and sitting down on the table.

"You guys all seem to stress a lot about sasaeng fans," I said, deciding to cook them fish soup. Luckily, I found one or two huge fish strips the day before in the fridge. I decided to use that.

"Yeah... it's kind of hard to deal with those type of people especially when sometimes it could be related to life-and-death situations."

"Whoa. You've had experiences involving those types of situations?"

"Well, not exactly, but practically yes."

"That sucks."

He laughed and nodded.

I kept going back and forth with the porridge and the soup as Luhan started talking about his experiences and the terrors of wild fans. Some of them were crazy insane. Listening to his stories, I couldn't help bur feel the goosebump forming on the back of my spine.

Many minutes passed when I announced, "Okay, they're both ready. The porridge and the soup."

Luhan smiled brightly and called out for the rest of the members. He helped me lay out the utensils and the bowls for each seat on the table. Such a gentleman.

"This smells so good," Baekhyun exclaimed.

"Yay! Food!"

"Mmm, fish. I freaking love fish."

"I was starving..."

"So glad we didn't have to wait longer to go out for our schedule to eat."

I took the porridge with a tiny bottle of soy sauce and a glass of water on a tray and took it upstairs to where the rooms were. It took me ages to find his room.

'The first one? No. The second? No. Third? No. Fourth? No! Ugh. I should draw a sketch of the dorms in the future if I'll keep losing track of my way here.'

When I finally found him laying on the bed under three winter sheets, his face was pale white and it was damp with sweat. I could feel his fever all the way from the doorway.
