Sick

Sick Chapter 2

Hoseok POV
I woke up to the sunlight streaming brightly through my window. I crawled out of bed and scratched the back of my head.Why does Namjoon make me work so early? I did my normal morning routine. I went outside and got in my car. I arrived at work and went inside. "Hey Hoseok!" Namjoon said. "Hey Joon!" "Have you eaten breakfast?" "No." He handed me a muffin. "Here, eat this." I looked at him strangely. "Are you alright?" I asked. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" "... Ok..." I slowly took the muffin from him and started eating it. "Actually..." He started. "I knew it." "I'm going to have to cut your hours..." I almost choked on my muffin. "W-What?" "I'm not earning enough money to pay you as much as you need for the hours you work..." "O-Oh... It's fine." "Are you sure?" "Of course!" I finished my muffin. "Isn't it time to open now?" I asked. "Yeah." He replied. I grabbed my apron from the hook and tied it around me. It took an hour after we opened for us to get a customer. Finally, the bell rang. Joon jumped up excitedly from the table he was sitting at. "Hello, welcome to-" I paused when I saw who it was. "Uh, welcome to XXX cafe." Joon looked at me strangely. "Hello! You forgot your jacket yesterday so I convinced Jin to bring me to give it back!" Y/N said. "O-Oh..." I said, not knowing what else to say. "We didn't just come here to give you the jacket. We'll get something to drink too." Jin said. "Ok, what would you like?" Jin looked at her. "I want a mocha!" She said. "That's not good for you." Jin said. "Then what else?" She asked. He looked at the menu. "Uhh.. Is that milk?" He said. "Milk? But I can get that at home!" He grabbed her shoulders. "It won't make you sick." "I'm already sick Jin!" He bit his lower lip then looked back at me. "A milk for both of us." She looked super disappointed. I nodded and put it in. "Will that be all?" I asked. "Yeah." Jin said. "Ok, that'll be 5.00." He handed me the money, and I grabbed the bottle of milk and handed them to him. "Here's your jacket..." She walked over to me and handed it to me. "Thanks." I said. I couldn't help but look at them as they quarreled while leaving. "You know them?" Namjoon asked. I looked at him. "Kind of." I explained what happened. "I see. That's... Interesting?" I chuckled. "Yeah." I looked back at the door they had just walked out of. "I can't help but feel bad for her though..." I said softly. "I know what you mean. It must be hard. For both of them." I looked at him. I never really thought about what it must be like for her brother... He's probably constantly afraid he'll lose her. "What if..." Namjoon said. "Hm?" I said. "What if you befriended her?" He said. "What do you mean?" "I mean, it must be kinda hard to make friends when you're sick. It seems pretty obvious that you two were meant to meet. So why don't you become her friend? Maybe she needs you." I thought about it for a minute. He could be right... Her brother might be all she has. Besides, it wouldn't hurt to make another friend. "If I meet them again, I'll try. But there's no telling if I'll meet them again." I said. "That's a good decision!" Namjoon said, pumping his fist in the air. I chuckled and shook my head, my gaze returning to the door. Yeah, it can't hurt to keep her some company. I realized something, and cocked my head. Jin said that she can't be alone... So how does he work? "Is everything ok?" Namjoon asked me. "Yeah..." Maybe then I could keep her company while he left for work or something... Then someone burst through the cafe door. "Jin?" I said. "I need help!" He said frantically. "What's wrong?" "Y/N!" My heart rate sped up as I imagined what could have happened to her. "She got frustrated becayse I don't let her do anything then she ran off!" He started tearing up. "Please, can you help me? There's no telling how long it would take just me to find her! And she can't be alone! What if she passes out again?" I looked at Namjoon. "He'll help." Namjoon said. I took off my apron and hung it up, then ran out with Jin. Y/N, please be ok!
