I slept through another night like a rock and I was feeling hyped for the upcoming week. While walking to school, I listened to some happy music and held back the urge to break out in a dance in the middle of the street. And all this because of that damn Taehyung. I smiled thinking about his hoodie that was neatly folded and placed inside my backpack, sadly enough I had to return it to him today.

Leaning against my seat after entering the noisy classroom, I patiently and a little nervously wait for Tae to show up. The minutes pass and the class was just about to start. Furrowing my eyebrows as Mr Vong enters the classroom and starts preparing for the lecture, I begin to wonder why he hasn't showed up yet. The lecture begins, and the seat next to me is still empty. Maybe he overslept or something? I should probably not worry too much. But I couldn't help the feeling of emptiness without him whispering sarcastic remarks to me or poking me whenever I was trying to concentrate. Class was certainly boring without his annoying presence.

Another day passed and Taehyung didn't show up again. My mind wasn't able to pick up on what Mr Vong was teaching because the only thing I was thinking about was where Tae is. I was starting to worry.

After lunch I excused myself and went to the roof, with a sprinkle of hope to see him sitting there against the wall, telling me he just wanted to skip classes. However to my disappointment, he wasn't there.

Had something happened? Was his dad angry with him because I kept him out on a Sunday evening? Maybe I should text him, but I don't want to seem too clingy.. Perhaps he just need some time for himself.

It's now Thursday and the seat next to me is empty yet again. This wasn't like him at all. He usually skips one day if he really doesn't want to go to class. But four days straight? Now that means something isn't right.

We're sitting by our regular lunch table and everyone are chatting along like usual and joking around. However I keep staring at the empty seat in front of me where he usually sits. God, why was I feeling so empty? It really annoyed me that his absence was affecting me this much. Being done with myself and my internal bickering, I finally decide to ask the others if they know anything.

"Guys, isn't it unusual that V has been gone for four days now?" I ask them, trying not to sound too bothered by the fact that he isn't here. They all shrug and shake their heads.

"He's probably sick or something because he hasn't answered his phone," Namjoon says calmly. Yoongi and Hoseok nods in agreement.

"Yep. When he's sick, he kinda disappears for two weeks. But then he comes back like nothing happened," Jin explains.

"He has such a bad immunity system, it takes him forever to recover," Jungkook says with a chuckle while shaking his head.

"Oh I see. But he has someone that takes care of him when he's sick, right?" I ask them, feeling relieved.

They all give each other a sceptical look before slowly shaking their heads at me. And thus my worry returned once again.

"Nope. But don't worry, he'll be fine," Jimin reassures me with a soft smile. Then they go back to their previous conversation. I slowly nod and with much, much energy I conceal the fact that I am now dead worried about him. How could they just leave him to be by himself when he's sick? What the hell, why doesn't his father take care of him? I had to literally drag my mom out of the house when I had a simple cold because she was willing to skip an important meeting just to take care of me.
