Irene's P.O.V.

I don't know why but I suddenly found myself getting worried and all for this guy. He was still walking with the help of Jared's strength but somehow I would like to appreciate my brother's strength knowing that he's much more weaker and less muscular than Slater. I went ahead of them and I knocked on the door, a few minutes later, a woman in her 30's. Somehow she has a very strong resemblance of Slater, but he only got her eyes and nose from her.

"Oh my, what happened to my son?" Her eyes widened when her eyes fell on her son, her hands immediately landed on her mouth as shock was evidently plastered on her face.

"I'll carry him to his room" Jared said as he immediately headed towards the staircase, it was actually hard for us to take Slater in his room considering the fact that we still need to carry well... pull him upstairs. Bubin he end we successfully carried him towards his room, with his mom an me helping Jared. Where did he even get this muscular body of his? His mom is very petite and I swear I've already seen his dad for how many time during their match with other basketball teams and he's also a bit petite, not that kind of muscular person like Slater.

Once we reached his room, Mrs. Song opened the door for us and Jared immediately placed Slater on his bed. He softly landed on his bed while Jared sighed in relief, I can't blame him. Slater surely has a lot o weight eventhough he still looks petite and weirdly sick.

"Mrs. Song, I'll just come back here later, I need to take my other sisters home" Jared said as he remembered Zoe and Wendy who were left alone inside our car. The both ofthem are tired so they need to rest now.

"It's okay Jared, you and your sister can leave now" Mrs. Song said as she gave Jared a hug and patted my shoulder, I can see that she's having a hard time taking care of Slater, plus I think this isn't the first time he was like this. Mrs. Song is probably surprised when Slater wasn't in his room, Jared looked at me in question if I wanted to stay or leave with him.

"I was hoping if I could stay for today?" I asked wearily, I'm actually troubled by the fact that she doesn't want me to stay here. I'm not a friend nor a relative but then I wanted to stay her and ask if I could take care of his son? I don't think so...

"You wanted to stay?" Her eyes widened, I told you she doesn't want me to stay here, but surely I wanted to take care of Slater. I don't know why but someone is telling me to do that, I myself can't even think straight today.

"Mrs. Song, this is my sister, Irene. She's also the leader of the cheerleading team and she also knew Slater, she's just concerned for her co-leader in our team" Since the basketball team and the cheer leading team are considered as partners, Slater is my co-leader in school. I guess that's why I'm worried for him, I jut can't direct the basketball team because I don't even know a single thing about basketball.

"Well, if you want you can stay the night, but I'm not sure if you're comfortable to stay here" She asked worriedly, I just wanted to help her since I just happened to notice the folders placed on top of the table in their living room. And as far as I know she's also the COO of Slater's father's company, while his father is the CEO.

"I'll be fine Mrs. Song, after all I'm also worried for Slater" I answered truthfully, I have nothing to lose anyway. Mrs. Song smiled at me and then she held my hand

"Irene, Mrs. Song, I'll leave now" Jared said as he excused himself, it's getting a bit late, they should go home now.

"Be careful" Mrs. Song said as she gave Jared a tight hug, I think they're just close because Slater and Jared at best friends but rather than that, I don't know why... They seemed to be so close. Once Jared left the room, Mrs. Song sat beside his son's pale body and sighed.
