Jungkook wakes up in the morning. He feels a little bit weak. His whole body ache but he forces himself to wake up. He wants to go to school.
"Are you sure you want to go to the school today ?> you look pale." Mrs. Jeon asked when they're having their breakfast.
"I'll be okay soon."

At the school, Jungkook's friends also talk about how pale he is but he'll say the same thing,
"I'm okay."
"You don't have to come if you're sick." Taehyung said. Jungkook smiles bitterly at him.
"If you need to go to the rest room, tell me okay ?"
"Mhm." Jungkook nods.

Recess
As usual, Jungkook, Eunji, Chorong and Taehyung are walking together to the cafe. Include Kei. Jungkook is not hyper as usual.
"Gwaenchana ?" Eunji asked as she noticed that Jungkook keep facing the floor. Suddenly he holds Eunji's hand.
"Yah-" Eunji starts to worry. They all stopped walking and focus on Jungkook.
"Yahh, are you okay ?" Taehyung asked. He slaps Jungkook's cheeks lightly.
"Yahh Jeon Jungkook !!" Eunji is shocked when Jungkook suddenly fall on the floor. He passed out.
"Help me." Eunji said and Taehyung helps her to support Jungkook. Everybody is panic. Taehyung and Eunji bring him to the rest room. Chorong and Kei follow them. Jungkook looks really pale.

"He caught a fever. His temperature is kinda high but you guys no need to worry. He'll wake up soon." Mrs. Joo said. She's the nurse at the school.
"You may eat now. I'll look after him." she continued.
"Thank you Mrs. Joo." Taehyung said and walked out from the room, followed by Eunji, Kei and Chorong.

After they finish their lunch, Kei noticed that Eunji looks uneasy. She can't stay still.
"What's wrong ?" Kei asked.
"I'm worry about Jungkook." Eunji sighs.
"I'll visit him. Bye." Eunji said and get up.
"I'm going with you." Taehyung quickly go toward Eunji. Both of them go to the rest room.
"Taehyung, Mr. Hoon wants to meet you." A boy said. Taehyung and Eunji look at him.
"When ?"
"Now, at the office." the boy said and leave them. Taehyung looks at Eunji.
"Never mind. I'll go alone." Eunji smiles. Taehyung reply her smile and pats Eunji's head. He walks away.

Rest room
Eunji sits beside Jungkook. She puts her palm on Jungkook's forehead.
"Why are you so stubborn ?"
Eunji takes a bowl of water and a small towel. She wet the towel and puts it on Jungkook's forehead.
"He is so lucky for having a nice friend like you." Mrs, Joo said. Eunji smiles.
"Shouldn't you be in the class right now ?"
"Yeah but I want to look after him."
"Okay then. If he wakes up, feed him some food and after that give him this pill." Mrs. Joo placed a packet of pills on the table beside Jungkook's head.
"Alright."

There's another one hour before the school ends. Jungkook hasn't wake up yet. Eunji just realized that there's no food. She must buy one in case Jungkook wake up. She gets up, wants to go to the cafe. She was about to walk away but someone tugs her uniform. She looks back.
"Jungkook." Eunji relieved. Jungkook has wake up. He opens his eyes weakly and frowns.
"Wait here, I want to buy some food for you." Eunji wants to walk away but Jungkook keeps tugging her uniform.
"Just a moment. I'll come back soon." Eunji smiles and let Jungkook's hand go.

After she bought a bread, she walks to the rest room back. Jungkook is waiting for Eunji. When he saw Eunji is walking toward him, Jungkook sits up on the bed. Eunji sits next to him.
"You must eat a little."
Eunji feeds Jungkook. At first, Jungkook hesitates to open his mouth. But then, he lets her feed him. 3 pinches of bread and Jungkook doesn't want to eat anymore. Eunji wants to give him more but he refused.
"Are you on diet or what ?"
"I'm full."
Eunji hands him a pill that Mrs. Joo put on the table. Jungkook looks at her.
"Eat this." Eunji insisted. Jungkook sighs and take the pill. He eat it and drink plain water.
"Why did you come to school when you know you're sick ?"
"I thought I'll be okay as I meet you at the school."
"You make me worry."
"Jinjja ?"
"You're my friend, of course."
'Friend.' this word breaks Jungkook's heart.
"Aren't you supposed to be in the class ?"
"I'm here since recess."
"To look after me ?"
Eunji nods. Jungkook smiles a bit.
"I'm glad that you're here."
"Yea~ You must be thankful to me."
They laugh.
"You're awake already."
Mrs. Joo comes toward them.
"How do you feel ?"
"Still weak."
"How will you go back home ?"
"I'll escort him." Eunji volunteer herself. Mrs. Joo and Jungkook look at her.
Okay." Mrs. Joo said and walk away. Eunji texts Taehyung.
"Can you bring Jungkook's stuffs to the restroom ?"
A few minutes later, Eunji got a text.
"Sure."
Eunji smiles.
"Who ?" Jungkook asked.
"Taehyung."
"Ohh-" Jungkook's heart beats faster. His mind filled with the kiss scene between Taehyung and Eunji.
"Do you-" Jungkook wants to complete his words but he's to nervous.
"Hm ?"
"Do you like... Taehyung ?"
