"Are you sure you'll be alright?" Anneliese asks by looking at her reflection as she puts on dresses in front of her body to see what she would take to dinner.

"I already told you not to worry. It's just a cold, I'm gonna stay in bed eating crap and watching movies." Emma responds in an almost inaudible way, passing behind the girl with her toothbrush in her mouth. Anneliese sighs by throwing the blue dress into her bag, choosing to wear the flowery black dress.

"Why don't you call Suho to come and keep you company?" She asks as she takes off her pajamas, Emma shrugs and spits out the water in her mouth.

"I think he's working." Emma answers. "But I'll text him later."

The blonde shakes her head and heads to the bathroom as soon as Emma comes out. The girl lay on the bed, feeling a certain relief. Her head hurt and she was constantly sneezing. It was still worth it, but being sick on summer vacation? It was lame.

Half an hour later, Anneliese comes out of the bathroom with her hair stretched and already dressed. Emma lifted her body and looked at her friend. 

"You look so pretty." Emma says making Anneliese smile. 

"Thank you." She replies, putting a lock of hair behind her ear.

"But it's funny you never dress like that to go out with me." Emma crosses her arms trying to look serious but starts laughing. Anneliese rolls her eyes remembering the conversation they had when Suho and she went on the first date.

"I'm leaving now, don't forget to take your medicine." She points her finger at Emma reminding her and puts the room card in her purse.

"Yes, mom." Emma replies seeing walking towards the door. "Have fun!"

Suho had spoken to Emma on his break, even though the girl said he didn't have to stop by the resort and go home. He tried his best to leave what he had to do in good condition and in time so as not to stay there too long after his time out.

It was already past 8 o'clock when Suho was walking to his car to leave his apron. He opened the door and threw his work apron and pin with his name inside. Closing the car again, and with his hand resting on the door, he closes his eyes with a deep sigh. Koh Samui was a chaos on summer vacation, and today had been a busier and more hectic day at the bar. 

As he walks through the lobby doors, he looks at the front desk but doesn't see Kai. He was surprised at first, but eventually remembered the dinner he had mentioned. He greets the staff at the reception and goes up to the girls' room.

He walks down a long corridor until he stops by door 237. He knocks on the door and crosses his arms, waiting for the door to open. From inside, Emma walked to the door curled up in the bed sheets, groaning. He sees the door open and laughs. 

"You look like you went to hell and came back." He comments on her state.

"Ah, very funny." Rolling her eyes, she takes her hand out the door and goes back inside. Suho enters and closes the door behind him. "I thought you were going home after work."

"I knew Liz was not going to be around, couldn't leave you alone knowing you were sick." He says. Emma smiles and puts the sheet on the bed, turning around to face him.

"Yeah, I'm just asking." She shrugs. "When I texted you, you didn't confirm anything and I thought you were going straight home. But I'm glad you came." Suho pulls her by the arm, gluing their bodies together.

"I didn't want to spoil the surprise." Suho says and presses his lips against Emma's. Emma steps back.

"Well, just be aware that I'm not a great company today." 

"It's okay. Maybe you'd be a great company if you had listened to me, at least you wouldn't have gotten sick." He nods, she was on her back and he could sense her rolling her eyes. She sits on the edge of the bed.

"So rude." Emma pouts. "I've heard that from Liz, stop mistreating a sick person." Suho shakes is head and gets closer to her. He runs his thumb across the girl's chin and lifts her head slightly to face him.

"I'll take care of you now. No more mistreating. Promise." 

He gently kisses the girl on the forehead. She's already lying there and wrapped in her bed sheet like a burrito as she said. Suho starts laughing and takes off his shoes and lies down beside her, putting his hand on her waist and pulls her towards him, making her lay her head on his chest. He'd run his fingers gently through her hair seeing some locks of blue hair, while she snuggled her head against his chest, groaning from the pain. He let a sigh out.

The couple left the restaurant after a pleasant meal. They were walking back to the resort, Anneliese had no answer from Emma a few hours ago calculating that she had fallen asleep. Not wanting to leave her friend alone and sick, she preferred to go back to the resort early.  

"Thank you for the night." Anneliese smiles at Kai. He shakes his head.

"I hope you had as much fun as I had."  He says.

"I did. Thanks." Anneliese played with her fingers. The answer pleased Kai, but it was still early and there were many things they could still do. He sighs.

"You sure you don't want to do anything else? It's still early..." Kai stops walking. He tries to convince her, and even though she wants to stay with him a little longer, she won't give in. 

"I wanted to, but Emma's sick."

"What do you say if I call Suho? He knows Emma got sick." Kai suggests. Anneliese agrees, shaking her head.

The boy takes his phone out of his pants pocket and calls his friend. After two attempts, Suho answered the call. It was a short conversation, Kai put his cell phone back in his pocket while Anneliese waited for him to talk, but to mess with her, he kept quiet and didn't mention anything about it. He just started walking again. Anneliese rolls her eyes and chuckles, going after him.

"Stop playing. Is he with her?" Anneliese asks, Kai stops ignoring her and laughs.

"He is." Kai nods. "She's okay but he said he might sleep there with her." Anneliese sighed with relief, but now the dilemma was another.

"Yes, of course, I'll sleep under the bridge." She says, making Kai laugh.

"You're with me. I won't allow you to sleep under the bridge."

"What do you suggest then?" Anneliese asks. 

"My bed is big enough for the both of us."
