"I swear, why can't biology be as simple as the mitochondria being the powerhouse of a cell?"

So here I am, at 6 pm, going over my notes with a mug full of coffee in hand. I have a huge biology project due tomorrow and I'm so freaking stressed about it. There are so many things you need to know and if you don't know at least understand the basics of this class, you're practically screwed.

Huffing, I throw back my head and shut my eyes for a bit. Today has just been exhausting with work and school. All I want to is cuddle with my boyfriend and just watch something on TV with him.

Come on, Y/N, you got this. In 24 hours, you'll be on your couch, binge watching whatever you want with a bowl of popcorn in your lap.

I sigh as I get back to studying.

Suddenly, I hear someone putting a key into the lock and opening the door. As the person closed it, they sneeze very loudly.

"Hey babe," said Jojo as he sets his stuff on the counter, "what are you doing?"

Before I could answer him, he sneezes and rushes to get a tissue. I look at the clock and realize that it's a bit early for him to stop by. Knowing that he was probably sent home because he's sick, I get up from my couch and head towards him.

After he threw away his tissue and washed his hands, he turned around and gave me a quick hug, "I just wanted to come by and spend a bit of time with you before I got home."

Stepping back a bit, I put the back of my hand against his forehead and he seems to be a bit warm. Both his eyes and nose look red and his voice is scratchy. Yup, he's definitely sick. Jojo honestly looks miserable.

"Hey, have you taken any medicine today? You honestly seem sick," I asked him as I went around him to get to my medicine cabinet.

"Yea, *sneezes and coughs* but I don't think it did much considering how I feel and look like. I left rehearsal early today because I couldn't dance without coughing or sing because of my throat," he said as he closed his eyes and placed his hands on the kitchen counter before leaning against it.

"Hey, why don't you go to my room and change into comfier clothes. I'll bring you some medicine and you just rest," I said as I placed some cold medicine on the counter.

He looked over and saw all my stuff sprawled out in my living room and began to shake his head, "No, you're studying and I don't want to distract you."

Rolling my eyes, I stand in front of him, my hands placed on either side of his face.

"Jojo, you're sick and that matter more at the moment. Go do what I say, don't worry about anything else right now." I kissed his cheek before moving away. He sighs as he makes his way to my bedroom. Since we sometimes sleep over at each other's places, we keep some
of our stuff at the other's place.

I boiled some water so that I can make this cold medicine my friend gave me when I got sick. As I finish up in the kitchen, Jojo walks in with some sweatpants and the sweatshirt I might or might not have stolen from him awhile ago...
