"Soobin hyung, you're not focusing today... something wrong?" Taehyun patted my head to wake me up from my drowsiness. "Ah, yeah. Didn't get much sleep yesterday..."

The next day had come, I didn't sleep at all and now, I can't even keep up with classes. His seat was empty too... Did something happen on his way back from my dorm? "Taehyun, do you know what happened to Yeonjun?"

"One of his friends said that he caught a cold. They said that when he was asked how it happened, he kept quiet about it. Why?"

"No reason. Just asking. I'm going to buy some food, So see you later." With that said, I left my seat. I bought some porridge from the cafeteria for him. god, I hope he's feeling better... Wait, why would I worry about him? He's a carnivore for goodness sake, they're strong enough to fight the virus off.

I ruffled my hair in frustration. Dammit, why is he so annoying! Fine! That's it, I've decided. I will go see him if it's the last thing I do!

Since it was lunchtime, everyone was busy by the cafeteria so the way towards the dorm house was almost deserted. I sneaked past some people and went inside. His room is on... third floor, room.. 304!

I knock on the door but no reply came. Is he okay? Is he dead? I was panicking in front that I decided to barge in anyway. "Daejun-ah, I told you to leave me alone!" A pillow came flying towards my face as I fell down the ground. "Ah!" I rubbed my reddened forehead.

"Soobin? What the hell are you doing!? This is the carnivores' dorm you egghead! You're gonna get in trouble, or worse than that."

"Hey! Be grateful that I'm worried of you. Here, I bought some porridge. Sorry you caught a cold because of yesterday." I handed him the plastic bag and signal him to take it.

"What's this? You're really worried about me. Ha- hahaha! Oh god this is hilarious." He permitted me to go into his room and put down the food.

"Anyways... I'd better head back."

"Oh, you're leaving already?"

"...yes?"

"Why don't you just stay here a little longer? At least just before school ends." He wrapped his hands around my arms, making sure that I wouldn't leave. "Wha- what are you saying?"

"C'mon, you have to be responsible for your actions. It's your fault that I caught a cold in the first place. Poor little me needs someone to feed him. Be a man and take responsibility. Yeah?"

"A-alright, fine! I'll stay. But just till before school ends."

"Deal." He put out his pinky and told me to promise him. Jeez, so childish.

half an hour past, I hoped Taehyun won't worry about me being gone... sigh, how to kill time... The person beside me was sleeping soundly. He looked nice and peaceful while being quiet like this. I put aside hairs covering his eyes and I couldn't help but stare at it. are they all the same? Are some different? The incident from the past reeled in, but maybe, it's good to change one's view.

'bam'

"Hey Junie! I brought you some meds."

"Oh yeah, thanks."

"Here's some stuff the teach' asked me to give you... Are you okay? You looked redder than before."

"Nope, everything's fine, haha..."

"okay then, see you!"

the door slammed shut, "Is he gone?" I crept out of the blankets, making sure the coast is clear. "Yeah, he's gone." I let out a sigh of relief and stood up.

"You can sleep too if you wanted."

"wha-what? No! just go to sleep yourself!" right there and then, before I could make a move, he pulled me under his covers, hugging me close to him."

"Hyung! what are you doing!?"

"sshh... just stay like this for a while" He nuzzled his head in the crook of my neck and dozed off to dreamland. Sigh... should I get some sleep too? I didn't get any last night. Oh well, who cares.

"mmnh~ I'm sorry... I didn't mean to- I-I'm sorry..." huh? is he having a bad dream? He kept on apologizing over and over, saying that everything was his fault. Beads of sweat began forming on his forehead, his body started shivering that it shook the bed with it. "Yeonjun... hyung, wake up." I smacked his face several times, but he still won't come to his senses.

It was getting more and more scary. The hug before became tighter that it became suffocating, "Yeonjun! hyung! Wake up! Wake up Yeonjun!" I slapped his face hard, He groaned at the stinging pain as he touched his red cheeks. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hit that hard."

"What... happened?"

"Y-you had a bad dream... and it was getting worse? I g-guess? so I had to wake you u-up." I tried so hard to say this as my lips were trembling in fear, but I can't seem to hide it. "I scared you, didn't I? Sorry, I think it's better that you leave..."

He hung his head low, avoiding any eye contact with me. "Yeonjun, did something happened?" I was worried since he act differently than he used to ever since... yesterday. "If you don't want to tell me than that's fine. I'll be on my way out then... see you."

I picked my stuff up and left the room without saying another word. Okay... that was weird... I was getting more and more conflicted about the way I view him. What is wrong with him... more importantly, what is wrong with me!

I ruffled my hair and went back to my dorm before anyone saw me.
