After three attempts of knocking on Chaeyoung's door not getting a response from her, Jisoo goes to open it slowly to check on her condition.

"Chaeyoung? Chaeng...", she calls the younger's name as she pulls down the blanket that covers Chaeyoung's face. "Are you still sick?", she asks as she touched Chaeyoung's forehead.

Chaeyoung nods as she still closes her eyes.

"It's not hot. Yah, are you pretending to still be sick?", Jisoo asks as she pulls the blanket off of Chaeyoung making her shocked of Jisoo's action.

"Unnie, give it back.", she says as she tries to grab her blanket that is in Jisoo's hands. "Jisoo unnie!", she managed to pull the end of the blanket but Jisoo pulls it back with a smirk on her face.

"You're getting active again. Your fever is gone.", Jisoo concludes from the way Chaeyoung is trying to fight her to get the blanket in her hands. "I'm going to wash this blanket. You get up now and go wash your face. Jungkook is outside waiting for you.", she adds before she goes to the door to leave Chaeyoung alone.

Before she could step out of the room, Chaeyoung calls her name and asks whether Jungkook is waiting outside of their house or outside at the living room. When Jisoo says the former, Chaeyoung quickly tells her to say that she does not want to meet anyone at the moment. Jisoo feels weird of her excuse but she does not think much of it since she has a busy day ahead despite it is a weekend which is her off day from work.

When Jungkook is petting Lily at the backseat, he hears Jisoo calling him so he leaves the cats inside the car for a while. As he faces Jisoo alone, he looks behind her while asking where is Chaeyoung.

"I'm sorry. Chaeyoung said she doesn't want to meet anyone, Jungkook.", Jisoo tells him.

He slowly nods before asking if the fever Chaeyoung had since two days ago has gone or not.

"She's all better but she doesn't want to meet anyone. It's quite weird actually because she's always excited to see you. But, maybe she just doesn't want you to worry about her.", Jisoo says before seeing an understanding nod from him.

"Did she eat the fruits I bought for her?", he asks as he opens the door of the driver's seat taking something from the seat next to it.

Jisoo nods, "She ate them all."

Jungkook hands a paper bag of mangoes to Jisoo. "Can you give it to her?", he asks before Jisoo takes the paper bag from him.

"Sure. Anything else? I'll be busy this whole day to help my friend. If you need my help, better ask me now.", she says to him as she looks at her watch for a second.

Jungkook shakes his head with a smile. "This is all I ask from you. Thank you, Jisoo noona.", he says before he bids goodbye to her.

Half an hour after the forced wake up call from Jisoo, Chaeyoung finally leaves her room and goes to the living room. As she sits on the sofa, she sees Jisoo all dressed up to go out so she asks where she is going to go to today.

"I'm going to help Seulgi with her surprise party for Taeyong tonight. Oh, yeah. I might be coming home late with Jin. You'll be okay at home, right?", Jisoo says.

Chaeyoung looks at the clock on the wall and nods, "I'll be fine, unnie."

Jisoo pats her head before she looks for shoes to wear at the shoe rack. "Remember, don't watch weird movies or sad music. If there's anything, call me or Jin oppa. Okay?", she reminds Chaeyoung as usual before she leaves her alone.
