You're my Miss Right

Chapter 17

Author POV

In a blink of eye, one month has already passed. Yuna has been coping with both her studies and work well but as compared to a full-time student, Yuna has lots to catch up. She is rushing for time and therefore, she sometimes needs to secretly skip meals and burn midnight oil just to finish up her assignment.

Already dreading after work, she needs to keep herself awake and fresh during her night classes, absorbing what she needs to know in the shortest time. This is definitely not an easy task. Furthermore, due to her lack of experience in the fashion industry, she often lacks behind as compared to her classmates. She doesn't bother Taehyung much about her work because he is already busy enough with his incoming projects in work. Whenever Taehyung asked her about her lessons, she would just reassure that everything is alright.

Despite her assurance, Taehyung knew that she is struggling with what she is studying all along, but he didn't want to expose her. Every night, he will see her room lights still on till past midnight. She must be studying hard, he thought.

Sometimes on a Friday, Yuna would just give up her sleep to finish up her assignments before she can start her revisions since the second day is a weekend. Her study table is filled with papers of all sizes, drawings after drawings, designs after designs, trying her best to find the most suitable one. Seeing this side of her makes Taehyung both please and worried. He is afraid that she is working too hard since she needs to cope with her studies and work. Not to mention, her workload isn't light as well.

Sometimes, he would just budge into her room, demanding her to go to sleep, confiscating all the pencils and colour pens just to make sure that she is going to bed. Without a choice, Yuna listens to him obediently, crawling up onto her bed to drive into dreamland.

She is actually really exhausted both physically and mentally. However, when she is too focused on a certain project, she tends to forget about the fatigue in her body, until Taehyung forcefully wants her to rest.

Today wasn't any day different, Taehyung walked into her room, seeing his girlfriend still buried within the mountains of drawing papers, finishing up her project. "Come on, Yuna." He called out, keeping her stationaries for her. "Wait oppa. Give me 15 more minutes. I am almost done. Please. Almost." Yuna mumbled really softly, but still clear enough for him to hear. Sighing, he let her girlfriend continued with her momentum. "I will get you a glass of warm water." He offered, leaving her room.

Walking up the stairs to approach her room, Taehyung saw a lying figure on the table with her pencil still in her hands, holding it upright. "This girl..." he shook his head, removing the pencil carefully away from her hand, carrying her bridal style up onto her bed.

Covering her with the blanket, his hands came in contact to the girl's unusual cold hands. "Why is she this cold?" he frowned, moving his hands up to her arm and her neck. Her limbs were cold, but her neck was burning hot. Frowning even harder, his palm landed on her forehead.

He hissed in dismay, realising how her forehead was boiling with heat due to her high fever. How come she was having a fever but she didn't utter a word? Due to the sudden contact of his palm to her forehead, Yuna's brows gave a slight twitch. Trying his best not to wake her up, he caressed her hair gently, making her go back to sleep. Taking a closer look, her lips were dry, and her face was turning slightly redder due to her fever.

Taehyung swiftly made his way into her bathroom, taking a towel and a pail of cold water. He soaked the towel into the cold water, twisting it dry before putting on her forehead to take down her fever. Pulling the chair nearby to sit by her bed as he patiently repeated the steps over and over again with Yuna sleeping soundly under his care.
