*Winter Bootcamp* (Baekyeon Fanfic)

*First Love*

"We don't need any words. Our affection for each other is clear within our eyes. Now I'll be the one to check your temperature, feel your forehead when you're sick. Don't be afraid. It's first love that made our hearts tremble like we're dreaming. Carefully, day by day again, I'll always love you."
~ IU & Na Yoon Kwon (Its First Love)

I was sent to the clinic to get myself checked after I vomited. Baekhyun was kind enough to stay in the room while I was still recovering. I had no idea why he was being so nice all of a sudden. I told him a dozen times to just leave me alone, or to go away, but for some reason he didn't want to go just yet. So, I fell into a deep sleep.

While I was asleep, I dreamt about someone caressing my head to make me fall asleep. The vision of the person's face was blurry, so I didn't know who it was. It felt so real, I didn't want it to end. I opened my eyes to face reality, and looked around the room. No one was there besides myself. I was about to leave, but the door suddenly opened. The nurse came in and asked me if I was ok. "Hi, Taeyeon. I'm Seohyun, are you feeling any better?" She touched my forehead and with a worried face she took my temperature. "I guess..." She put a thermometer in my ear and checked my temperature.

Based on her expression it wasn't a good sign. "I hate to tell you this, but your temperature is at a 101.2 degree Fahrenheit. You'll have to stay here until your body temperature is normal. Ok?" I sighed and decided to just listen to her. Seohyun gave me a glass of water and a fever reducing medication. "Make sure to get plenty of rest. Soon you will feel much better!" She patted my head as if I was a child. I laid back down and covered myself with a warm blanket and sighed. My body was aching, and I was sweating so much that I asked Seohyun to turn off the heater before she left.

"I wonder what the others are doing...." I mumbled to myself as I looked outside the window. "It's 1:00 and everyone is enjoying their free time. They can do whatever they want for an hour as long as they don't break the rules." A voice broke the silence and I scanned the room to find only one person standing in the doorway. I closed my eyes to resist from looking at him. "Why are you here?" My voice sounded so weak, and in fact I was. I didn't feel like talking to anyone at that moment.

My back faced him as I pulled my blanket closer to my face. I wanted to cry, my body felt like it was giving up on me. I've never been this sick before. "Hey, usually at this time you would say something back to me..." Baekhyun said and I ignored him. I heard his footsteps coming even closer until it stopped. There was only silence.

I barely managed to keep my eyes open, so I closed them and tried to get some sleep. However, I forgot that Baekhyun was in the same room. He was probably enjoying the sight of me being sick. "Stop thinking about him and go to sleep!!" The angel voice shouted and I tried to, but I couldn't.

"Taeyeon..." I kept my eyes closed. If only he knew that I wasn't really sleeping, yet I was curious to know what he would do next. I felt something cold on my forehead. It felt so nice that it was starting to ease my brain. "I hope you're sleeping because what I'm doing would be embarrassing for you to witness." I tried not to smile as I continued to listen to him. "Don't take this the wrong way. I'm just worried that you will die..." I was touched from what he said. "I can't believe that Baekhyun is saying nice things to me." I thought, but it was too soon. "Otherwise I wouldn't have anyone to fight and argue with." Baekhyun added and I opened my eyes in an instant. The look on his face was priceless. It looked like he just saw a ghost. My reaction was about the same. I was surprised to see his face so up close. I checked what was on my forehead, and it turned out to be a wet cloth. I took it off, but not in a rude way. I was mesmerized. Memories of my past flashed before me. Unknowingly, I started to cry.

I remembered when my mom took care of me when I was sick. She would do the same thing and put a wet cloth on my forehead and sing a peaceful song to make me feel better. But that was when I was young, when I was still a good girl. That guilty feeling crept inside of me. I never showed how much I cared for her, and only now did I realize how much she had done for me.

I completely forgot about Baekhyun's presence. I looked away from him as I wiped away my tears. "You should go now. I want to be alone. I don't want you to get sick." I covered my face with the wet towel and continued to cry.

Baekhyun didn't say anything. Instead he covered me with the blanket and walked to the other side to see my face. I opened my eyes slightly, and was greeted by his expressionless face. We stared at each other for the longest time. I decided to look away and tried to go to sleep. Baekhyun touched my forehead and sighed. "This happened to me too when I was in this camp a few years ago..."

I didn't open my eyes, but I continued to listen. "I used to be a troublemaker like you. In fact...I was exactly like you. Personality wise." I furrowed my eyebrows and this time I looked at him in disbelief. "Liar." I told him and sniffed. "It's true. Which is why I'm one of the counselors now because this camp changed my life. I wanted to help teenagers who were just like me and change them into something better, so that they'll realize that they're more than troublemakers..." I smiled when he said that. Yet, I was so confused to why he was telling me this. "I don't want you to miss out on a lot of the activities that we planned on doing. So, feel better soon."

Baekhyun caressed my head just like what happened in my dream. What surprised me the most was when he kissed my forehead gently. I screamed in the inside. I had no idea if it was a good feeling or a bad one. My cheeks felt even hotter, I bet I looked like an ugly tomato. Usually it would only be my dad who does that, but I'm so shocked that Baekhyun would do something like this. And I don't know why I liked it.

I heard him chuckle before he left. I wanted to punch him, but at the same time I felt grateful that he did that. "AHHH!! He likes you! I knew it!!" The angel voice screamed in my head. I covered myself with the blanket and shrieked. "What's happening to me?" I felt my heart beating rapidly. I've never felt this feeling before. "Maybe it's just the side effects from your sickness." The devil voice said and I nodded. My mind was full of questions, but I ended up going to sleep with a smile on my face.
