Missing a few days of school is not okay with me. Missing one is disagreeable. It's hard because when I go back, my teachers get mad at me and then they tell me stuff I don't really want to hear.
The first day I don't go, Seokmin notices. I don't know how. He texts me at 7:02, which is 28 minutes before school starts. How on earth does he know that I'm not at school?
seokmin: ARE YOU SICK?
max: yes, and thank you for noticing
seokmin: OF COURSE I'D NOTICE, SUNSHINE ✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* \(◕‿◕✿)/ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
max: how?
seokmin: im coming OVER AS SOON AS I GET HOME FROM SCHOOL OKAY
max: you don't have to, honestly
seokmin: you're right...
seokmin: i don't have to...I NEED TO
max: oh
seokmin: DO YOU WANT ME TO BUY ANYTHING WHEN I GET BACK?
max: no, no, please, you don't have to do anything
seokmin: im bringing some banana milk !!!
max: you seriously don't have to
max: im fine
seokmin: SEE YOU AFTER SCHOOL, SUNSHINE
I spend the day, in bed, and drifting in and out of sleep. I have severe fever and I vomit a few times now and then.
My aunt calls me three to four times today, telling me to take pills and eat crackers. It's odd, how I had used to be able to eat when I was younger. The thing is I ate too much.
But then I realize that Seokmin is coming.
While I'm alone.
And my aunt is gone.
It's 3:41 and school has ended. Should I call him and tell him that I don't find it safe? What should I do? I mean, my aunt would throw me out the window if she saw him here while I'm alone here.
I mean, what would your 'guardian' do?
I have to call him.
"H-hello." He picks up as soon as I try to call.
"An-nyeong!" He greets and I find myself sweating already. My fever was already bad but he is just making me feel worse.
"S-Seokmin?" I feel like I'm about to pass out as soon as I say his name. Why does he make me feel this way? "Yes, sunshine? Do you want me to bring anything?" He asks and I feel terrible already.
I mean, he's incredibly cute and inexplicably sweet but I am definitely not letting him come over while I'm alone.
I squeeze my eyes shut and breathe out, "Uh, I um, don't think you can come here."
He stops giggling into the phone and my stomach makes this noise. I feel terrible.
"Wh-why not? I mean, I'm sorry. I...Maxima, sorry." He doesn't say anything afterwards and I grimace, from both the pain of my stomach and the guilt.
"I mean, my aunt wouldn't like me to be alone w-with a boy..." I breathe out into the speaker and he snorts.
"You're alone? Ah, you should've just said so! Safety first, sunshine! Way to go! Anyways, I'll come when your aunt comes back, okay?" His natural happiness is restored and I exhale, feeling relief surge through my squishy and small body.
"O-okay." I answer and he hums a little bit before moving the speaker closer to his mouth. "Hope you feel better, honey," he whispers, "Dangsin-eun jeongmal aleumdabseubnida."
I don't even get to think about that I didn't even know what he said before he hangs up. What the heck, dude.
What does it even mean?!

My aunt comes a few minutes earlier than she usually does and Seokmin texts me literally as soon as she opens the door.
seokmin: hey <3 is your aunt home? are you feeling better?? <3
max: yeah...

Groaning quietly, I stroll over to my aunt, who is watching a novela in the living room and is quite engrossed. Fortunately, the drama goes to commercials and I poke her shoulder.
"Tia, puede venir my amigo, Seokmin?"
[Can my friend, Seokmin, come?]
She turns her body over to me and looks at me funny. "Hija, por qué quieres que el venga? Tú ni sabes que él te gusta, y más, que te amaー"
[Why do you want him to come? You don't even know if he likes you, much less love youー]
I raise my hand and sigh. "No más somos amigos. Bueno, yo creo que si somos..."
[We're only friends. Well, I think we're friends...]
My aunt sighs and looks down. "Maxima, el puede venir si le puedo preguntar unas preguntas. Estás bien con eso?"
[Maxima, he can come if I can ask him some questions. Are you okay with that?]
I nod my head as she continues. "Gracias, mija. Dile que puede entrar. A los dos."
[Thank you. Tell him he can come in. The both of them.]
I nod again and text him that he and Seungcheol can come inside, hoping the best for the interrogation of the lifetime.
