Chapter 9

JUNGWOO'S POV

"You okay Jungwoo?" I heard Hyunjin asked me. We were now in Chemistry class. Mr. Kim decided that it would be a good day to have an experiment.

And I came to school with a headache, which was an idiotic decision. How did I even had it? I was fine yesterday.

I was starting to fall asleep as Mr. Kim approached our table. "Are you alright Jungwoo?" Our professor asked.

I tried to nod but my head began to hurt. I brought my hands to my head and started massaging my temples.

"Hyunjin, you can leave what you are doing. Take him to the Infirmary. Tell the nurse I sent you here." Mr. Kim handed him a clinic slip. "You two can take the experiment again, just meet me later after dismissal."

Hyunjin nod and stood up before guiding me out of the room. I saw Yukhei's worried face before we got out.

We walked inside the Infirmary and he sat me down on a bed. "You alright now? Should I excuse Taeil hyung in his class?"

My hair looked like a bird's nest, my eyes were heavy and now I have a pounding headache. I nod and he whipped out his phone to text Taeil.

Hyunjin went back to class when Taeil got inside. "I told you not to come. You're stubborn as always."

After 10 minutes of scolding, Taeil said he should come back to class and visit me at lunch. The nurse also said that I have to stay until I got a little better so I decided to sleep after getting my medicine.

"Hyung! You are NOT going to believe what happened!" I was on my phone when I heard Jaemin suddenly bursted into the room and screamed, earning glares from other sick students.

The nurse told him to be quiet and he apologized. Jaemin approached my bed and sat on the edge. "I eavesdropped on Mark and Hyuck's conversation on their locker and Mark hyung asked him out." He said with excitement.

I smiled. 'Good for them. Wait, it's lunch already?' I looked at my phone to see the time. 12:16 PM.

Taeil should burst in any minute now. I thought.

While Jaemin and I were talking, I heard the door opened again with force and the nurse just face palmed. We looked over who it was and just as expected.

"You fucking idiot. That's why you weren't yourself earlier." Taeyong ran past my friends and shook me by the shoulders.

"Hyung stop it. He might vomit and its gross." Chenle removed Taeyong's hands on me. "Taeil hyung told to us he had a headache."

Taeyong apologized. The others decided to wait for us in the cafeteria since we don't fit inside. It was just me, Jaemin, Taeyong, and Chenle.

'I felt a bit alright now. We should go.' I tried to stand up but I felt I started spinning so I sat down again and held my head.

Taeyong stood in front and massaged my forehead. "You're not fine. How about I go get some food for you." He turned to the two maknaes. "You two, watch over Jungwoo. I'll be right back."

He walked out of the Infirmary. Chenle continued what was Taeyong doing before walking out. "Taeil or Lucas should be with you when we're dismissed. We don't know if you would faint in the middle of the sidewalk." Chenle said with concern.

Minutes have passed, Taeyong came back and passed me a small styrofoam box. "Here, it's rice and chicken. Also, Lucas said he will fetch you in dismissal time." He said.

I looked at him in confusion. "He also said don't worry about it. We'll be going now. I'll send someone to keep you company."

They went out after that. I opened the box and started eating my lunch. I looked around, students were either lying or sitting on the bed, some were sleeping or talking to their friends who visited them.

I was halfway eating when, for the 3rd time, someone barged in. It was Lucas. "Can you PLEASE don't do that?! There are students sleeping or have a migraine." The head nurse scolded him.

He sheepishly apologized and walked to my bed. "Hey, how's your headache?" He asked while running his hand through my hair.

I blushed and hid my face on my sweater paws. I gave him a nod, telling him I'm fine now but I still feel a bit weak.

"You're still kind of pale hyung. You should rest. I'll accompany you when we get home." Lucas told me. We talked for a while until lunch break was over and it's time to go back to classes.

Like they said, I'll just stay here until dismissal time. It's boring here in the infirmary because I don't know anyone else, so I took out my phone and bother my best friend.

"Piggyback or bridal style?" Lucas asked. I still can't walk without my vision spinning so he suggested to carry me.

I slapped his shoulder and pouted. "Just piggyback him. He doesn't want to be carried bridal style. Unless he's married." Taeil whispered the last sentence but I caught what he said and bonked him on the head.

He rubbed the spot. "Shut it or I'll make Lucas carry you bridal style I swear." Lucas and Taeil laughed while my face heated up.

"I have to go back Woo. I'll text you later to check up on you." Taeil waved goodbye to us and walked out of the Infirmary.

Suddenly, Lucas crouched down in front of me but his back faced me instead. "C'mon, we have to get home. It'll be fine, I promise."

I got on his back and he started walking out of the room. I hugged his back on the way to my house.
