TIME SKIP: The next day (Monday)

YOUR POV

The next day I woke up because I felt someone tap my shoulders

"Aerum-ah?" mom called out and I immediately shot up

"Mom? Are okay now? How are you feeling?" I asked I stand up "Aerum, I am fine now, look at the time" she said and I sigh

"But mom, I can't leave you like this, you're sick" I said, but she took the thermometer next to me and showed them to me "See, I'm doing fine now" she said but the be sure, I checked it again myself and she was right

I sigh once again before talking "Okay, but call me if everything happens okay? Mrs. Kim won't be here to help us for some time" I said and she nods

I went out for a while, and do my morning rituals before going to the kitchen. As usual I will cook and give the food to mom, after that I went to the fridge and grab some bread before going to the door

"I'll go now mom!" I yelled from the door and of course I didn't wait for mom to respond because I know she can't anymore, she's weak and her throat is a sore.

I walk down the streets and walk pass by some houses and of course the abandoned building. While walking I was reading a story that we we're supposed to read as an assignment, but since mom was sick I forgot my assignment.

When I was now in front of the intersections, surprisingly I saw Sanha ad Hoseok standing at the other side of the street and they waved at me, I waved back and they crossed the streets, once they did Sanha immediately Sanha run and put his arms around my shoulders while Hoseok, walks following him from behind with a smile

"You two seems, happy" I said "Actually, no" Sanha said and I was confused "Then why are you smiling?" I asked

"Let's get to the point, is everything okay?' Hoseok asked "Yes, why?" I asked and Sanha frowned

"Liar, look at your eye bags, and look at your skin you look very pale!" Sanha said taking his arms off me pointing at my face, which makes me sigh

"See, you're not fine, we're just putting on a smile so you can at least feel better but you didn't even tried to open up to us" Sanha said

"Come on tell us what happened" Hoseok said trying to encourage me "Okay, I'll tell you" I said and the three of us started to walk our way to school

"Actually, my mom was sick yesterday" I started and they listened "And I rushed home, I was really tired and nervous that's why when I saw mom I can't even put myself to sleep, thinking something might happen" I added

"So that's why you have deep eye bags on your face" Sanha said

"Then why are you so pale?" Hoseok asked and I sigh "Maybe it's because I haven't ate anything except the bread I grab from the fridge just before I left the house" I explained

"You what!?" Sanha yelled and by that time we entered the school campus, he stopped from his tracks and everyone looked at him

"You didn't eat your dinner and didn't have any proper breakfast! Are you trying to kill yourself!?" he said being sassy mom once again

"Sanha calm down" Hoseok said "Nope, not until this young lady has something to eat" Sanha said before dragging me and Hoseok to the cafeteria

"Sanha I swear I am fine" I said once we took a seat, but Sanha put the tray with food in front of me before talking

"Bitch nah uh, you are going to eat one way or another, you and Hoseok are practicing your life's out and getting tired every day, and now I'll here that you don't have any proper meals at all! Do you really want to die even before your mom!?" Sanha said and I sigh, gosh he's indeed a mom.

"Okay, I'll eat now relax" he said and he just sit back and crossed his arms while looking at me.

After I ate, the three of us again go back to walking our way to our classroom "Next time if heard you didn't eat again, I'll make sure to go to your house and apply as you maid I swear" Sanha warned and I just laugh with Hoseok

"Is that a joke?" I asked and he glared at me, but once he saw me smiling he's face soften and he sigh

"It's a warning but since it's what makes you feel better, then sure" he said and we continued to walk

"Hey Hoseok, why are you so quiet?" Sanha asked him

"Oh nothing" he said "Then why does your face said that you're not fine" I said

"Oh, is it obvious?" he asked and I nod "Nothing, it's just that I think mom might notice all the dancing stuffs" he explained and with that Sanha and I looked at him

"Why?" we asked in unison "It's cause she installed a CCTV just yesterday outside our house, and she even waited for me to go home yesterday night" Hoseok explained

"That was tough, what will we do?" I asked Sanha and he hissed "What should we do? We can't even go home early, we have many things to do for the dance, and we can't reschedule things the contest is just around the corner" Sanha said but Hoseok just sighed before smiling

"Guys let's not worry about it now, I put all my commitment and responsibilities for this contest, I can't back out now and besides, I can manage to deal with whatever mom will gave as a punishment" he said

"Are you sure?" I asked "Yup, I'm sure" he said

"Look it's your room, me and Sanha will go ahead now" He said once he saw my classroom "Bye" I said as we waved goodbye to each other

"See you later!" Sanha said and I nod, before entering the classroom.
