Another few days and it's getting closer to Christmas now. Jungkook's fever and sore throat isn't getting any better in the past few days. It kept getting worse. Junghyun even brought him to some doctors and they all just gave him medicine and told him to get enough rest. He wouldn'y want to be sick on Christmas. That'll be really unlucky.

He and Junghyun didn't came to school today. Their classmates were asking and talking about them making some stupid ass untrue rumors about them both even teachers were asking about those brothers. They've been good students in most teachers' point of view. It's not like they're skipping classes. Good thing Jungkook's previous homeroom teacher, Ms. Sung knew why they didn't attend school, so does Yugyeom. Of course.

"So, Jungkook didn't attend any classes today," Minghao said in a serious tone.

"It's because he isn't here," Yugyeom replied, he really wanted to hit Minghao's head. "I'm going to Jungkook's house, wanna join?"

"Sure, I'll come with you," Minghao grabbed his bag. As they walked out from their class, Sungjin called them from the distance. He walked along with Jieun and Jaereum on his left and right. Jaereum's hands waved up high.

"I called Junghyun awhile ago, should we see Jungkook?" Sungjin asked.

"We were just going to walk there," Yugyeom chuckled.

"And that's a yes to me," Jaereum replied cheerfully. "Lets go there before Kookie is peacefully asleep." They all started to walk their way to Jungkook's house. Jieun wore her scarf. She wore it like Jungkook, her mouth is covered by the scarf. Yugyeom immediately recognize her way of wearing a scarf. Most students would wore it normally but Jungkook was the only one who wore it like crazy just to cover his pointed nose and pink-ish lips.

Yugyeom thought it was cute, Jieun copied the way Jungkook wore his scarf. Maybe it's because that time when he wore it for Jieun. He got that feeling that, Jieun may like Jungkook back. Not as a friend of course. That's called friendzone.

When they have arrived in front of the house, Sungjin stepped on the front porch and knocked on the door. He waited for awhile until, the door opened slowly, reveling Jungkook. The young boy was wearing a hoodie with a coat on top, sweat
pants, and socks. Don't forget his red scarf. His favourite scarf.

His friends could the the shade of red on his cheeks, telling that his fever is getting a bit higher. "C-come in here, y-y-you guys w-will fre-freeze out there," he said shaky and weakly. The smile on his face was shaking too. They all quickly went inside the house.

"Where's Junghyun?" Sungjin asked, hugging Jungkook for beside.

"H-he's in the ki-kitchen making h-hot chocolate," he replied. Sungjin helped the younger to let him sit warmly on the couch waiting for his brother to comeback. From the distance, they heard mumblings. Sounds like Junghyun's on the phone again with someone.

Junghyun was shocked to see his friends and Jungkook's friends had come for a visit, he didn't know a thing about it. He gave Jungkook the cup of hot chocolate and stroke the boy's hair backwards. A phone is still placed on his right ear. Giving responses to the phone, nodding his head as well. After finishing the conversation, he puts his phone into his pocket and sighed.

"W-who was that, h-hyung?" Jungkook asked, everyone in the room could barely hear his voice.

"It was mom," he replied. "But don't worry, she's like me and dad, it's not a shocking news to hear that you're sick right now." Junghyun patted his head gently. Sungjin, who's sitting beside Jungkook, pressed his hands on to Jungkook's forehead. His fever is still there.

"S-so, wh-what brings you all h-here?" Jungkook asked.

"To give you a visit, crackhead," Minghao chuckled. "What do you think we'll do here?"

"Last year you were also like this, Jungkook," Yugyeom added. "I'm a bit concerned if one day you'll freeze to death accidentally and that ain't funny."

"Y-yeah," he responded.

"Sorry we didn't bring anything with us, like, fruits or maybe like those 'get well soon' letters," Jaereum said.

"N-no it's fine," Jungkook gave everyone a bunny smile. "Prayers i-is enough for m-me and I'm really th-thankful for you a-all to co-come here." Everyone in the room, especially the girls, awed at him.

"You look like you wanted to sleep, Jungkookie," Jieun said. "You should go to bed after you finish that cup of hot chocolate." Jungkook nodded as he sipped the hot chocolate bit by bit. All eyes on Jungkook, since he can be called the baby of this group of friends.

"Oh right, it's almost Christmas," Minghao said excitedly. "Jungkook, you better be healthy on Christmas. If I were you, I wont survive Christmas day with a high fever following me around."

Jungkook chuckled, "Y-yeah, I'll be alright."

"Are you feeling better?" Sungjin asked.

"N-not quite," he replied, sipping his hot chocolate fterwards. "But maybe I'll be okay in a few days." Jungkook finished his hot chocolate and leaned his head on Junghyun. He's eyes are tired.

"Okay Jungkook, if you want to sleep, lets go to your room," Junghyun picked Jungkook up, he walked towards Jungkook's bedroom along with his friends. He placed him down on his bed in a sitting position. Opening his coat and scarf, replacing it with a jacket and a heater close by. The elder gave him his medicine before he could sleep peacefully.

"I think we should go back home now," Yugyeom walked towards the sleeping boy. "Get well soon, Jungkook." The others followed Yugyeom and went outside the room one by one.

"Get well soon, Jungkookie," Jieun said thinly. She pecked Jungkook's forehead then caressed his cheeks. She walked pass Junghyun, "Take care of him for me-I mean us, okay?" He nodded. He had a feeling that, maybe, possibly, she felt the same way as his younger brother. Junghyun sat beside Jungkook's bed with a phone on his hand. After awhile, he heard shuffling sounds from the bed sheets. Then, he saw a smiled placed on Jungkook's face.

"H-hyung," he let out a breath. "S-she ga-gave me a kiss o-on my fo-forehead.."

His brother could only chuckle by Jungkook's reaction. He didn't expect Jieun to give the younger's a peck in front of him. Jungkook's now blushing madly, burying his face inside his blanket.

"You go to sleep now," Junghyun patted his back. "Tomorrow's still school, you gotta try and push that fever away from you."
