JULY

19 APRIL

"Nouriko darling? Daijobu? (Everything alright?) Can you hear me darling?"

Mom was almost crying. I don't know why and how, but the next morning I was really hot. I was...sick.

"Haha (mother), I'm alright. Just leave me, please." I said while wrapping myself deeper in my blanket.

"No! Not at all, you're ill. I'm going to call a doctor immediately. Stay in your bed. Don't move, you get me?"

Two minutes later the doctor was sitting next to me, measuring my temperature. 104°F / 40°C. He said that it's not okay and that I have to rest until I get better. I have to stay at home and have to eat medicines from the doctor.

I didn't eat anything, only what the doctor gave me. One hour passed, two hours. Nothing. No visits, no hugs, no 'how are you darling', nothing.

"Do you think she's still sleeping?"

"Can we wake her up?"

When I heard these voices, I opened my eyes.

"Oh, she woke up! How are you, love? Do you feel better? We were so worried about you."

Haseul, who was actually crying, held my hand. I could see someone behind her and could've known that it was Yoongi.

"Are you really here? In my room? Am I not dreaming?" I asked. I wasn't sure if I could believe this. After hours...

But yeah, they had school.

"I brought your homework, after making it. You don't have to waste your time in such stupid things. Just come back when it's over, okay? We will wait."

Haseul gave me a kiss on my forehead and Yoongi gave me a high five.

They left...

Until tomorrow then...
