ding dong!

taehyung groans as the sound of the doorbell rang in his home, irritating him. refusing to open the door for whoever it was ringing the doorbell, the noise continued to echo in every corner of his house and a very familiar voice was heard shouting from the outside.

"taehyung!" the voice yells. "kim taehyung, open the door! are you in there?! yah! are you dead?! taehyung?!"

forcing himself out of his bed, taehyung dragged himself towards the front door, his thick blanket coated around him and sliding on the floor. taehyung unlocked the door to reveal the person whom the voice belonged to.

"what are you doing here, jimin?" taehyung's voice sounded hoarse due to the fever he is currently suffering from.

"oh lord, you look...horrible." jimin grimaces at the sight of him. "what have you been doing all day?"

"sleeping. until you came." taehyung answered meekly as he watches jimin invite himself in. "you haven't answered me yet, what are you doing here anyways?"

jimin lifts up a blastic bag that taehyung hasn't noticed until then. "i came to help you get rid of your fever."

a week before, when taehyung left jimin's house after talking to joy, it had started raining. taehyung, who was too preoccupied with his thoughts, didn't even notice the pellets of water raining down on him as he walked home. in result, he got sick and he still is, after a week.

"ah," taehyung scratches his head. "i guess i should be thankful to you then."

"you better be."

the two enter taehyung's living room and jimin orders the younger boy to lie down on the sofa while he prepares some porridge and medicine. after a few minutes, jimin returns from the kitchen and sets a bowl of newly cooked porridge on the coffee table in the living room.

"here, eat." jimin said. "do you want me to feed you or can you do it yourself?"

taehyung frowned. "don't even try. i'll do it myself."

"suit yourself." jimin shrugged.

silence pass as taehyung eats while jimin watches him like a mother. at one point, taehyung paused and looks up at jimin.

"by the way, how's...joy?" he asks, a bit hesitant.

suddenly, the look on jimin's face changes. taehyung felt his heart pick up speed as he caught the sight of his friend's face.

"about sooyoung..." jimin began.

"what's wrong?" taehyung couldn't help it but be intrigued.

inhaling air, jimin faces taehyung properly, looking into his eyes. "it's been decided that she's moving out of our house. apparently, she'll be leaving tomorrow."
