The Ugly Twin #Wattys2017

Chapter 23 - Track.

Taemin opened his heavy eyes and whimpered. His head was hurting and he felt like his world spinning around. Taemin blinked for a while, trying to focus his blurred vision.

"Ah, Taemin."

Taemin turned his head and saw Sehun was staring at him worriedly.

"You've awakened? You have just fainted in the practice room and that's why I should bring you here."

Taemin blinked while looking around. It took seconds for him to finally realized where he was.

"How are you feeling?" A pretty girl with nurse cloth approached Taemin.

"I'm alright." Taemin answered and smiled. "It's okay, I'm just too tired."

"It shows." The pretty nurse with nametag 'Boa' replied. "Have you eaten?"

Taemin shook his head lightly.

"Your blood pressure is too low." Boa said. "You should eat something and have enough rest."

"I will." Taemin said while trying to sit up. Sehun who was standing beside him immediately helped.

"I will give you some vitamins. It's nothing serious so you don't have to drink medicine." Boa said while walking to her cabinet and took out a few vitamins.

"Thank you." Taemin smiled sweetly.

"I thought you were Kim Jongin at first, you know?" Boa chuckled. "But turn out you guys are twins. Kinda surprising."

"You know Jongin?" Sehun rounded his eyes.

"Yes, he comes here often." Boa said.

"For what?"

"He gets ill easily." Boa said. "Headache, nausea, dehydrated... Has he been catching illness easily since he's little?"

Both Sehun and Taemin frowned. They didn't know that Jongin had been visiting the infirmary room that often.

"He was once fainted too." Boa said and turned her head toward Sehun. "And I think... You are the one who brought him here, right?"

"M-me?" Sehun widened his eyes. "When?"

"In the beginning of this semester I guess." Boa said. "You don't remember?"

Sehun widened his eyes. Was the boy that he brought to the infirmary room back then... Could it possibly... Jongin?

"Kim Jongin's health is not that good." Boa said. "I think your twin has to pay a visit to the doctor. I'm afraid he gets a serious illness."

Taemin knitted his eyebrows in disbelief. There's no way... Jongin always looked healthy infront of Taemin. Ah, but wait. Jongin had ever fainted once infront of Taemin back then.

"Make sure he see the doctor." Boa said again. "Tell him to get a proper check up."

Taemin nodded slowly. He still couldn't believe what Boa had just said. Jongin had a serious sickness? Seriously?

Sehun on the other hand secretly flashed back all the weird moment when he was with Jongin. That time when they were in a ferris wheel... And... When he fainted back then in Sehun's car... Then for the first time they met, when Sehun saved him up. Ah, it's all make sense now. That's why when Sehun saw Taemin's face that day, he felt like he had ever seen that face somewhere else. It was Jongin. It was Jongin that he helped.

Sehun's chest suddenly rose in fear. What kind of sickness did Jongin has? Why that boy fainted easily... And... Having difficulties in breathing? Sehun gulped down nervously. His hands fisted on his side.
