Taehyung was wearing a suit, and with his eyes shut, he lay silently on the bed. From afar, he seemed to be sound asleep.

Y/N lifted her hand, knocking on the door, but looking at the bed, she saw that Taehyung remained motionless, without any reaction. She furrowed her brows, taking large strides towards the bed.

Once she was near the bed, she could clearly see Taehyung sprawled on the bed, his body trembling lightly. Subconsciously, Y/N reached out to touch his forehead. He was burning and he didn't react to her hand as he hadn't reacted to the knock on the door.

He must have fainted from the fever!

Y/N hurriedly dug out the fever medicine that she had bought earlier. Following the manual, she took out two pills and picked a bottle of mineral water from the edge of the bed. She then forced the pills into his mouth after supporting him up with much effort.

At this point, Taehyung was unconscious from the fever. It was not possible for him to drink the water and when Y/N poured it into his mouth, he spat it all out.

She tried twice more, but he continued to spit it all out, and his temperature continued to rise to the point even the air surrounding him was warm.

Y/N started panicking as he continued to refuse his medicine. Even if she were to call for a doctor, it would take a few hours for them to reach such a deserted area..

Just then, Y/N suddenly remembered how her mother would use an ice pack to cool her down when she had a fever. She placed the medicine and water onto the bedside table before going into the kitchen to get some ice cubes.

Opening the refrigerator, all she found was chilled mineral water.

After thinking for a moment, she took the mineral water bottle and returned back upstairs. She rinsed a towel in the cold water before wringing it dry and placing it on Taehyung's forehead. With much difficulty, she removed his suit and unbuttoned his shirt.

Taking another cold towel, she started wiping his body, hoping to cool him down.
The cooling towel was like an ice on coals, bringing comfort to Taehyung. His tensed up brows began to relax as Y/N continuously wiped his body, and even his trembling started to calm.

Gradually, as he fell into deep sleep, his ragged breathing became calm, deep breaths.

Seeing that his trembling had stopped, Y/N sighed inwardly. She carefully tucked him in before kneeling beside the bed, guarding him. Her gaze couldn't help falling onto his face.

His lips were unnaturally white, his brows furrowed, and his face streaked with fatigue. But even in such a condition, he still managed to look mesmerizing.

Y/N couldn't help getting lost in Taehyung's face.

By the time she resurfaced, the skies were already dark and the already silent place seemed even more quiet, even the bugs from the forest could be heard.

The lights in the bedroom were not switched on. Surrounded by complete darkness, Y/N used the light from her phone to find the light switch and flip it on. She then reached out to touch Taehyung's forehead again.

Sensing that his temperature had dropped slightly but was still too warm, she replaced the towel on his forehead with a freshly chilled one.

She continued to guard him beside his bed, refusing to fall asleep. Every once in a while, she would replace the towel on his forehead, and once it was 11 pm, his temperature was no longer startling.

Only then did Y/N thoroughly relax. Sitting on the floor leaning against the bed, she fell asleep, no longer able to stay awake.

Due to the poor sleeping posture, she awoke after a while. Instinctively, she reached out to feel Taehyung's forehead and found that the fever was back again.

She hurriedly prepared another chilled towel to put on his forehead, but this time, the towel did not have any effect. His temperature continued to raise, and he whimpered in pain as he slipped into unconsciousness.

The cold towel was only a temporary solution. To fully eradicate the fever, medicine was necessary.

Deep into the night and in such a deserted place, Y/N started to become increasingly more worried..

She stared at Taehyung for a while before seemingly making a decision. She stood up and took the medicine from the bedside table. She then stuffed it into Taehyung's mouth before taking a big gulp of water.

Slowly, she brought her mouth closer to Taehyung, aiming for his lips.

As she lowered her head, his face magnified. She could clearly feel his breath. Her whole body tensed, and the two hands she had placed beside Taehyung's head tightened their grips on the bed sheet. Her lips trembled as she slowly positioned next to Taehyung's lips.

Y/N could feel her heart thumping uncontrollably. Counting the incident three months ago, this was the second time their lips had touched.

She stopped breathing, slowly transferring the water in her mouth over to Taehyung before using her mouth to push the fever pills down his throat with the water.

As she felt him swallow the pills and water, she quickly pushed herself away. Lifting her hands, she touched her lips, breathing deep as her heart thumped loudly.
