Thanks to Fever

Chapter 14|20:50 - 21:00 p.m.

(Jisung's pov)

I woke up not so smoothly.

I opened my eyes in surprise and sat down abruptly because I just had a dream of Minho hyung's elimination.

It was so terrible because in my dream JYP didn't put Minho back in Straykids, so he's completely eliminated.

I'm totally breathless but still thanking God because it's all just a silly dream.

I'll make sure next time I won't forget to pray before going to sleep so I won't have any more bad dreams.

I don't even want to imagine debuting without Minho hyung, that would be really sucks.

I exhale deeply and processing to be back in reality.

My heart almost jumped out of my chest when I see Minho hyung is sleeping beside me.

Not exactly beside though, he's practically sleeping on the floor in a sitting position, only his head is laying on the bed.

I smile warmly at the sight, this hyung really takes a good care of me, I'm so happy.

I think my fever has gone because I don't feel dizzy or hot anymore.

I want to touch my forehead to check my temperature but I can't move my hand because it's completely locked inside Minho hyung's hand.

I literally forgot that I have two hands, and my left hand is totally free to use but instead I'm panicking over my right hand.

Minho hyung holds my hand very tight, like I'm going to disappear if he doesn't hold it.

Our hand's size isn't that much different but Minho hyung surely has more strength in his hand than me.

My hand is probably suffocated and it started to feel numb. There was quite a struggle before I successfully released my hand from Minho hyung's grip.

Still, my heart is beating so fast to the fact that Minho hyung is sleeping while holding my hand.

I can't find any suitable answer as why he held my hand, but it doesn't matter though.

I place my palm on my forehead and it really looks like my fever has finally gone, hurray! This all thanks to Minho hyung's effort.

I get out from the bed and carefully put my blanket over Minho hyung's body so that he won't feel cold.

I go outside to grab a glass of water because my throat feels dry.

My heart almost jumped out of my chest for the second time when I see that the dorm is pitch black.

Seems like Minho hyung forget to turn on the lightning before going to sleep.

I walk slowly against the wall to reach out for the light switch. I close my eyes tightly because I'm afraid if suddenly there is a burglar in the living room.

I sighed in relief when the lights are on and there is nothing except our furniture.

I wipe my mouth after I rashly drinking two shots of water. I don't know why people always tend to feel so thirsty when they just had a nightmare, guess it's just our natural instinct as a human being.

Next, after my thirst was fulfilled, I begin to feel hungry.

I look at the dining table and there lies a box of the mighty food every normal human could never reject, pizza.

I open it and immediately regret because my stomach is having a thunder inside upon the smell of the beautiful pizza.

"It's still intact, did Minho hyung order this for our dinner?" I wondered, closing the box.

I jog over to my room very quick to wake Minho hyung up, so we can eat the pizza together. It's dinner time anyway.

I stop right in front of the entrance to my room, I notice that it's strangely neat.

My stuff returned back to their place and I can finally see the surface of my desk.

I remember exactly that I haven't cleaned my room for three weeks which caused me to always struggle to find something.

"Weird."

However, Jeongin's stuff are still laying around everywhere, it's not that much stuff though because Jeongin is a clean freak in the first place.

"Did Minho hyung tidied up my stuff? Yeah, it's most likely him because no one is home right now beside us."

I check under my dresser, luckily my secret box is still right there, deeply hidden.

I'll be really screwed if Minho hyung ever find it, I won't let that happen.

I then kneel next to Minho hyung, ready to wake him up. But suddenly I heard Minho hyung muttered something.

"Jisung.. please accept me."

I really want to pretend that I didn't hear him, but it's too late. Now I'm in deep confusion because of his words.

"What do you mean, hyung?"

I stare at his sleeping face, he looks like having some troubles in his dream because his forehead is wrinkled. I stroked his hair fondly, trying to give him a comfort.

When my eyes land on his lips, my face becomes hot because I remembered our unexpected kiss in the afternoon.

I wonder if maybe, just maybe, this hyung like me? But that's impossible since Minho hyung is straight, he even had a girlfriend in the past.

Moreover, before I blacked out earlier, I heard Minho hyung screamed that he isn't gay. So I guess, he was probably caught in the moment.

I may or may not have let out a deep sigh in disappointment. My mood suddenly down and I don't even feel hungry anymore.

The thought that Minho hyung isn't actually kissed me because he is in love with me, but rather he kissed me because the moment felt just right to kiss someone, really make me sad.

"I'm not gay either you know! Why did you have to be the one who stole my first kiss? You idiot!" I huffed in annoyance.

I stare again at his gorgeous face. The girl who will be his partner in the future surely think that she hit a jackpot, what a lucky girl.

"Do you really not have any feelings for me, hyung?"

Those words just escaped my mouth without warning at all.
