My eyes flickered open and I moaned at the light seeping through the windows, I turned my attention towards the hand laced with mine and followed it to my boyfriend "Zen?" I whispered suprised that he'd stuck with me. I gazed down to the way he was sleeping "That can't be comfortable" I muttered to myself, suddenly I started to coughed and I covered my mouth as I tasted something metallic. Zen's eyes snapped open and he hold me up right rubbing my back as I coughed into my hand, "Shhh, come on Mc" I tried to stop but I finally coughed up liquid and looked down "More blood?" I muttered.

"More blood!" Zen repeated obviously suprised, I flinched my head to look up at him "Oh... Um...." I struggled to find a good enough lie

"Mc this isn't good" He spoke as his hand cupped my cheek

"I know..." I pause and sighed "It's just" I stopped and looked into his eyes "You're already freaking about this performance of yours" He sighed heavily.

"No matter how important the performance is, it's not you" I rested my head on his shoulder and breathed slowly "I've already dropped out" I pulled my head up and he grabbed it bringing it back down "I just said your more important" I felt tears play at my eyes and then sighed heavily. I started to sob and covered my face with my hands "Zen, I'm so ill" I admitted "I'm coughing all the time, I'm so hot especially in bed and I'm tired all the time" He rubbed my hair as I cried into his shoulder.

"I'll call a lift to drive us to the hospital" I nodded my head and he walked away to call on a phone for one.

~~~

I was laying still in his shirt and I didn't care, I knew I had to go outside and then my phone buzzed, I looked towards it "A message from Jumin?" I questioned quietly.

Jumin: Zen called to arrange a lift, I hope you get well soon and I'll be happy to pay for any treatment needed- Jumin

I looked up and over to Zen typing quickly on his phone, he was worried, "So you asked Jumin huh?" His eyes widened and he met my gaze. His mouth opened and I stole the chance to speak "He messaged me saying you did so" I raised one eyebrow and then laughed "I love you" he relaxed slightly and smiled back at me "I love you-" the door bell rang.

Zen stood and went to answer it "You're lift to the hospital sir" I stood up following Zen out to the car, I was clutching my phone and Zen helped me into the car. I sighed at the pure exhaustion of having to walk like this, Zen soon joined me and I laid my head on his shoulder "You'll ok in a few minutes promise you Mc" I smiled and closed my eyes once again. 

~~~

We had finally arrived at the hospital and we sat in an office with a doctor sat at the other side of the desk "So miss [l/n], what are you feeling right now" the doctor asked politely and I looked towards Zen and then back at her "I've been waking up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat, I've been coughing alot recently" I paused "And most times they're bloody, I've been so hot all the time and tired" I looked towards a bowl of mints on the table "And haven't got an appetite to actually eat anything" the doctor's typing was loud and echoed through the room. 

"Ok, have you noticed any swellings in your neck?" I shrugged

"I haven't really been looking" I replied

"Notice weight being lost?" I nodded my head

"But that's for the lack off food" the doctor shook her head, she stopped typing and looked me in the eye "Miss, I would like you to stay here tonight" She looked towards Zen "I'm hoping you'd stay with her for support" He nodded his head

"Wait" I cut in "So you gonna tell me what I have or what?"

"We have to run a series of the tests before we can properly diagnose you" She took off he glasses and looked at me "But"

"But...?" I questioned as I grabbed Zen's hand. She sighed deeply and tilted her head "It might be tuberculosis" My eyes widened and tears lined the bottom of my eyes

"No" I whispered "There's no way, I think you've messed-"

"We haven't test you to say its so-"

"But I haven't been anywhere to get it" My mind was in knots. "How the hell do I have it" Zen squeezed my hand telling me to stop and I looked towards him. "It's rare but some people can catch it from anyone around them" She crossed her arms "You use public transport?" I nodded my head "That's the main cause" I widened my eyes

"When do theese tests start?" Zen's voice finally echoed through the room. She looked towards Zen and swallowed "Since it's a very serious disease we'll have to start them soon, that's why I suggest you stay here tonight"

"Ok" I nodded my head "Ok, I'm going to come out fine I promise Zen" I looked into his ruby eyes. Although he was trying to hide it it was obvious the sorrow he was feeling in his eyes, "If you have friends you could ask them to bring anything you feel like you'll need." The nurse spoke again. Zen nodded his head and then pulled out his phone "If you guys would like to follow me to your hospital room" I stood up holding Zen's hand still trying to stop myself from trembling. We started to walk "Would you like Jaehee or Seven to get your things?" I looked towards him, they were the closest, "Whoever you want oppa" I chirped trying to hide the utter fear. He smiled and poked my cheek before returning to his messages, the doctor spoke to a nurse on a desk and the nurses eyes widened as she spoke. I took a deep breath "You're going to be ok" I looked towards Zen "I promise you" I smiled happily at him, the nurse approached us and she smiled "Your room is just over here"
