Better Than You[Exopink] [ON-HIATUS]

Chapter 8:Flu Season

Eunji's POV..

"Baekhyun's absent as well?" I said in disbelief.

"Yeah. It's amazing how both of them are absent. Kind of makes it look like they skipped school for a date." Chanyeol makes a moderate laugh.

I quirk my lips to the right and sniffled, "Bomi always had a weak immune system. And since it's November it's normal to see people get sick."

Chanyeol makes an agreeable nod, "Baekhyun as well. Aigo, he must have been overworking himself for the past days."

"Is it because of Bomi?" I huff.

"That's one. And the fact that he takes on part-time jobs to get by. You know, with food and stuff." Chanyeol sags his shoulders as if he's been carrying a big burden.

"Huh? Doesn't your parents pay for those kinds of things?" I question.

"Let's just say that Baekhyun's not in good terms with the family right now." Chanyeol smirks. Right away, I knew what he meant. It's miserable to know this about Baekhyun, but I idol him for being able to be so independent in such a young age.

"Anyway, are you planning to visit Bomi later?" says Chanyeol as he quickly stray to another topic. I nod, "How about you? Are you going to visit Baekhyun as well?"

"Yeah. Let's go visit them together after school." Chanyeol beams. I avert his attractive and shining face, "Y-Yeah.."

Bawkhyun's POV..

"ACHOO!" I sneezed out loud. I blew my nose with a tissue. Aigo.. I hate the weather here. Freaking bipolar. One day it's cold then the next day it's hot.

I open my apartment door. Better go buy some medicine for this damn cold. I press the button and upon the elevator's arrival, I found Bomi with a dull look.

It caught me a bit off guard at how haggard she looked. But aside that, she seems to be sick as well. "So you're absent as well, huh?" I started as she drags her feet out.

"Yeah.." She said, sniffling to catch her snot from falling. She carried a plastic bag and by the looks of it, it seems to contain food.

"Guess someone isn't in the mood to fight back.." I muttered as the elevator door shut close.

...

...

...

Medicine is so expensive. Aigo, so much for my allowance next week..

I step out the elevator and after a few steps found Bomi curled up into a ball seated outside her apartment. I heave a sigh wanting nothing more than to just drink my medicine and sleep.

But for some strange reason, I couldn't resist avoiding her. "Oi." I nudged her leg with my foot. After a few seconds, she stared up at me with her reddish eyes.

"Y-Yah. If you're that sick then go inside your apartment." I blunted.

She sniffled hard, "I would if I can."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I left my apartment keys inside." Her voice was a bit frail.

"Aigo. Idiot. Do you have a spare or something?"

"It's with Eunji." Her cheeks started to flare even more crimson.

Is this girl serious? Classes don't end in less than five hours. There's no way she can wait this long outside. Not unless she can.. No. That's out of the question. There's no way I'll let this girl inside my apartment.
