That Star [NCT Ten Fanfiction]

Chapter 23

AN: (You can skip this if you're sick of notes like this) Before anything else, I just want to say this. Ahaha. I was a bit disappointed of myself. Chapter 1 has almost 600 reads while chapter 2 is approaching 400 reads. Did I really made my first chapter bad? Haha. Kidding. I'm not expecting for this book to receive readers that is as many as this. There are only few readers who comment but me, seeing the amount of reads? That's overwhelming. Thank you very much guys! And because I'm inspired right now (because of you), I posted this. This is kinda... rush? Lol.

*sniff sniff*

"Aww! Common cold sucks! Ugh!" Star cried out while looking for another tissue to blow on her runny nose. She's standing in front of her study table.

She's alone in their house. When she woke up this morning, she started having colds and fever. She can't go to school because she feel weak and unwell. She is prohibited to watch TV or use her phone to avoid radiation. Seomin even snatched her phone before they left and hid it somewhere she don't know.

"Ugh. I guess staying at the rooftop every night during winter isn't good. *sniff* Hachu! Ugh!" She pinched her nose to stop herself from sneezing.

She laid back to her bed and touched her forehead. "Omo, my fever is still high." She whined. She can feel her warm breath and her nose is clogged. Her voice is also broken and her head feels heavy.

For the first time since she came here, she felt alone. Her mother isn't there to take care of her. Her brother isn't there to buy her medicine. It feels very lonely being alone in her room with a high fever.

She remembered Ten suddenly. She haven't told him her situation yet. She thought he might be worried as soon as he will hear her situation from Seomin or Chayun. Or he might got mad for not telling him that she's sick. That's what she thought because that's what she saw in dramas, books and movies.

She tried to speak but her voice is so small, "Ten, hear me. I'm sick. Can you come here and take care of me?" She hopelessly said.

She turned to the other side of her bed, "Eomma... Chanwoo..." then his ruined father came up to her mind, "Appa..."

Her tears started to fall. She feels very ill. She already took her medicines but the effect is still not coming.

Someone knocked at her door and she thought it was Chahyun's grandfather because he's the only person left in here with her. But he is very quiet that she can only talk to him once in a blue moon.

"Oh, harabeoji?"

"Cheonsa?" Harabeoji answered.

"Ne. Hold on." She slowly get up from her bed and walked towards the door to open it. He immediately smiled to her to lighten her up. He's holding a tray with a bowl of porridge on it.

"I made porridge for you."

"Aw. Gomawoyo." She gratefully reached for the tray and put it on her table. She walked back to face harabeoji.

"And here," he grabbed Star's phone from her pocket, "Someone keeps on calling and texting you. This might be an emergency so you better check it. Seomin told me to never give this to you unless she said. But for now, I'm giving you twenty minutes to use this. I'll be back to get your phone. Ok?"

Star reached for her phone and bowed, "Kamsahamnida!"

Harabeoji just smiled at her and closed her door. She jumped to her bed and opened her phone. She gasped in surprise to see the number of missed calls and messages she received.

43 missed calls
15 messages

37 of the missed calls came from Ten. Two from Sejoon and four from her mother.
