i sit up slowly as my hands push the blanket away my eyes search for the a glass of water. as i was about to put my feet down, the boy who was sleeping on a chair next to me jolted awake. "don't move. what do you want", the boy asked coldly. i smile as i understood the concern that was hidden by the cold stare. "my throat is really dry. i was just looking for a glass of water", i murmured. he reached out to light the lamp, "i'll find you a glass", he spoke and then poured water in a glass. i looked at the roof which was dimly illuminated. the plain white walls were glowing orange due to the lamp light. i watched seokjin's face under the orange light as he handed me a glass of water. i was tempted to press my lips against his luscious pink ones but i was weak and tired. i handed the empty glass of water back to him and laid down. he slowly covered me with the blanket and placed the glass on the night stand. "you don't have to sleep on the chair", i spoke. he switched the lamp and climbed onto the bunk bed, "i won't. i had no intentions of sleeping on the chair. i just fell asleep while reading", me mumbled. i didn't see a book in his hands when he woke up but i do not tell him that. i close my eyes, allowing my body to relax.

when i open my eyes, the sun was already blazing. i glance at the old clock hanging at the wall and groan. it was ten already. i did not just miss breakfast but two classes too. i look around and grab my alarm clock which had evidently stopped working. i groan and throw the alarm clock on the bed. that stupid grumpy boy. i though he cared about me. could he not wake me up for breakfast. is this entire 'don't talk to taehyung, unless you want to say something mean' more important to him than my health. i weakly pick the alarm and put it on the table interrupted by the click of the door. 

seokjin scanned the room, "you are awake. i brought you breakfast", he spoke without making any eye contact. he placed the tray of food on the table and looked at me. he brought breakfast for me. i chew my cheeks to stop myself from smiling. "thank you", i mutter. he scrunched his nose, "i just did this because you are my room mate and the nurse requested me to. also you don't have to attend classes today. the medicine is in the transparent pouch. you may have it after breakfast", he spoke slowly and then waited for my response. after he received a simple nod from me, he rushed out of the room. 

i slowly bathe and brush my teeth before attempting to eat the breakfast. i eat the breakfast and swallow the pills as instructed and sleep a little more. at two, seokjin is done with his classes and we both proceed to eat lunch together. although he doesn't talk to me the silence is comfortable because i know that he cares.
