CHAPTER 17

Hyerin stepped her legs into Taehyung's room with a bowl of water and dry cloth. She walked toward the bed and tossed her eyes on it. Taehyung has wrapped himself with the comforter.

Hyerin sighed before putting the bowl on the mini table next to the bed. She then touched Taehyung's forehead and it was so fucking hot. She took the thermometer she brought along and examined his body temperature. It was 38.2 °C.

Hyerin shook her head as she soaked the dry cloth she brought earlier and squeezed it. As it wasn't so wet, she put the cloth on his forehead to slowing down the temperature. She then fixed the comforter before went downstairs to make him a porridge.

It's been a day actually since he was in that state. He doesn't even touch any food but only a sip of water. She's worried if his fever would getting worst.

"Eonni, you made porridge for him?" asked Hyun Min as she entered the kitchen.

"Yes." Hyerin answered while scooped the porridge into the bowl.

"Ohh okay." Hyun Min nodded. Hyerin looked at her. "Can you help me?"

"Yes of course." She replied.

"Cut the onion and wash the vegetable with carrots. I'll be back after give this to your brother." Hyerin said.

"Okay." Hyun Min nodded as she reached the knife. Hyerin smiled before strode her legs out of the kitchen toward Taehyung's room.

As she entered into his room, she put the porridge on the table before glanced at him.

"Taehyung-ssi, I made you a porridge. Wake up please." She said but he wasn't budging at all. Hyerin tried once again. "Taehyung-ssi?"

"Hmm." He only responded with a hum.

"I brought you a porridge. I'll put it here. Make sure you eat, okay?" she said as she was ready to turn her body to leave when Taehyung suddenly grabbed her wrist. Hyerin jumped out startled but tossed her eyes on him. His eyes still closed but the grip on his hand was so tight.

"Taehyung-ssi?" she called him but there's no response. Hyerin tried to unwrap the grip but Taehyung just made it tighten. She was speechless with his sudden action. What he tried to do?

"Don't leave me. Please... don't go." He said lowly.

"Yes?"

"Don't... leave me." He continued.

"Taehyung-ssi... I had to go..."

"Please..." Taehyung's words made her looked at him for a while.

"Okay... I'll not leave you." She said before sat on the floor. Her wrist still inside him. She stared at the pale face of him.

"Why you didn't want me to go?" she asked lowly before brought her hand toward his hairs. God, why I have to love a guy like him? Why I allowed myself to love him when he actually loved someone else. Why I allowed myself getting hurt like this?

She looked at his hand. She really didn't know when this feeling began getting deeper like this but, yes. She really really so in love with him. The same guy who held my hand tightly right now.

But... there's no space within his heart for her. He loved her. She came back to be with him. Could she bear the pain while looking at them after this?

Hyerin took a deep breath and let her wrist out of his grip. She quickly stood up to leave when Taehyung once again stopped her with the grip before pulled her closer toward him. Hyerin lost her balance and fell on him. She froze.

"I said... don't leave me." He said as his voice went husky.

"I'm sorry... I had to... go. I... I can't..." Before Hyerin could finish her words, Taehyung pressed his lips against her. She stunned with her sudden act from him. What he was doing right now? What...
