i woke up from my sleep , i'm sweating due of the nightmares. i look at my clock and it's midnight.

i'm thirsty so i went downstairs. my parents aren't home since they're working overseas for outstation.

i walked to my fridge , take out a jug of cold water.

i pour the water into a glass and drink it.

"you can't sleep?" i was taken aback as i heard jaemin's voice.

"i woke up." i said.

"guess that you having nightmares?"

how did he know?

"hm yea."

"you still think about jisung?"

"stop , why everyone mentioning him today and why bother to ask if you're the one who end our relationship." i said and make my way to my room.

jaemin grabbed my hand.

"let's have siblings talk. we're each other , right?"

"you trying to make a joke right?" i asked and pull my hand from his grip.

"you have a fever? you're sweating and your temperature is high." he said which makes me stop.

"i don't know." i said.

what he said is indeed true , i'm feeling uncomfortable so i might having fever.

i woke up from my sleep as my alarm ringing.

after getting myself ready , i look into the mirror and my face is pale , my touched my forehead and the temperature is quite high.

i took my bag and went downstairs for breakfast.

"yieun , i made the breakfast." jaemin said.

i was about to get something at the convenience store , i didn't expect him to prepare the breakfast.

i sit down to eat.

"you're pale. you're okay?"

"i'm fine." i said nonchalantly.

he nodded and start eating his food.

after eating , i straight up went to school.

as i arrived , i met renjun.

"hi yieun! you aren't late today." he said.

okay , please explain why he is so cheerful and friendly out of sudden when i never actually saw him being friendly. he actually the shy boy in the class.

"oh , same goes for you." i said.

"you look pale." he said.

"i'm fine." i said.

"can we eat together again today?" he asked.

"sure." i said nonchalantly since i didn't have any strength. i forgot to take the medicine. does my house even have any medicine?

"sorry for bothering you anyway." he said and excused himself.

i walked to my locker and opened it.

there's a paper bag inside of my locker.

i look into it and it's medicine and a note.

don't be sick , don't forget to eat these , i rushed to the pharmacy this morning to buy these for you. -na jaemin.
