Chapter 4: Absent? What Happened?

You woke up in a daze, your thoughts kept going back to what happened the day before.

 It felt unreal, but it was, right? You shook your thoughts out of your head, if you didn't hurry you were going to be late. 

You hopped out of bed, pulling on your uniform in a rush, although you tried your best to push the thoughts out, they kept returning back to your head, it wasn't a bad thought, but it distracted you from many things which was bad, in a way.

You sighed and went downstairs.

The school gates opened its huge, metal arms, welcoming you, you walked inside. Looking at all the people bunched up together, happily chatting away made you feel like a loner again, but you quickly washed the thought away and smiled. You had Taehyung, right? 

You walked into your classroom just as the bell rang, you took your seat and pulled all your books out. You turned to look at the seat next to you, it was empty. Where was Taehyung?

"Right class, just a reminder our inter-class singing competition, will take hold on the day after tomorrow, you will get time today to finalise your song" She finished and took out a clipboard. "Now...Moon Jae Sok.... Lee Su Ji...." She started calling the role. "....... Kim Tae Hyung?" 

You looked at the empty seat, still not here? You knew Taehyung wasn't someone who would just skip school for no good reason. Was he alright? Being your first ever friend, you felt some responsibility.

"No Taehyung?" The teacher looked up from the role her eyes planted on you. 

You shook your head. The teacher quickly finished the role and the whole class started talking once again. You were back to how you were before you met 'him' the girl in class who always gets left out, you saw people giving you looks, you then realised how much Taehyung meant to you.

The day went past slowly, you looked up and sighed as you walked out the gate, your mind was still on Taehyung... was he ok? 

Negative thoughts rushed through your mind as you crossed the street and walked past your house. You needed to go check on him, you knew it was vital. You brought your thoughts back to yesterday, you walked up to a large house. This was it, if you remembered clearly. You breathed in and knocked on the door, you heard footsteps come as the door clicked open. "Oh...Hello, what do you want?" Taehyung's mother asked.

"Ummm...." You didn't know how to put it. "Errrr....Taehyung was away today, so I was worried, is he alright?" Your heart beated hard against your chest.

"Oh he's just got a cold." She replied, her expression was hard to interpret.

"Is it serious?" You asked.

"He has a fever, and he's really weak right now..." You could tell she was uncomfortable "But the doctor said he'll be fine after some medicine."

You sighed a breath of relief, at least he was ok.

"Why don't you come in?" She offered. You nodded, you wanted to see Taehyung personally. Even though it was only for a day, you already missed him.

You walked into his room, memories flashing into your head, the noodle incident, him wiping the remains off your chin. 

You looked at Taehyung, he lay there looking extremely weak and pale, it made your heart ache but you pushed it aside and replaced the cloth that was resting on his forehead with a cool one, you couldn't let that get the best of you, you needed to look after him, you wanted to!

As you touched his forehead you looked down at him, he looked way too cute despite his condition. You clamped your hands over your cheeks, letting them cool down your burning cheeks down, it was hard handling such a scene.

You unconsciously moved up to him and sat on a spot next to him, it was as if it was something you needed to do. "You're cute you know?" It had accidentally slipped out of your mouth, but you didn't regret it.

You sighed, "Really, thank you for being my friend." You looked at him as he breathed in and out

"This is the best I can do right now, but don't worry.... I'll come back for you tomorrow." You whispered as you stroked his soft, fluffy hair. You loved him, there was no doubt about it, without a second thought you leaned over and kissed his cheek, it felt weird, in a good way.

The way he hugs his pillow as he sleeps, his soft even breathing and his smooth, pale skn, it reflected himself a lot, the weird-childish personality.

You smiled and placed a bowl of medicine beside him. "Drink this and rest well." You said as you kissed him one last time, you couldn't help yourself, he was just too adorable. 

"(Y/N)" You saw Taehyung's eyes flutter open. "Thank You for coming" He said weakly.

"That way we're even now." You smiled and winked at him."And besides, that's what friends are for, right?"
