Nurse 707! (Yooseven)

「六」

[707's POV]

-Some hours later-

21:45

I stared at the laptop, trying to find something. 

"Aha! I found it!" I wanted to make something for Yoosung to eat once he wakes up. I didn't want him to starve. You should eat three meals a day, never skip a meal. Yoosung hasn't eaten anything after he passed out. I don't eat a lot too, but that's because I don't have time to eat. I don't care if I stave except, I must keep Yoosung healthy! I don't want him to be like me, always alone... I stood up and started to cook- Cooking can't be that hard... Right?

"AAAAH!" I almost spilled the water all over the floor. I'm not even up to the cooking part yet. I went to put of water over the stove.

Next, I rinsed the rice and soaked it in water as it instructed. I then finely chop the vegetables. BEEP!

"IT'S ALREADY BEEN ONE HOUR?!" I removed the rice and transferred it into the pot. I added some sesame oil, stir-frying the rice until the grains turn translucent. I poured the stock with the chopped vegetable into the pot. Later, I stir in the chicken to finish it off.

"Seven-?" A small voice called out for me. Yoosung's awake! I scooped up a bowl of porridge and went to him. I set the bowl down on the table and hugged Yoosung.

"Yoosungie~! You're awake!" I felt like crying. 

"Huh- Why do you look like you're about to cry?" I didn't answer that question. I just hugged him. I saw Yoosung's face go to a deeper shade of red.

"What were you doing?" Yoosung asked me in a faint voice. 

"Oh! I want to make you something to eat. It's not really that fancy, but I didn't what you to starve so-"

"Thank you, Seven- I'm s-sorry I-I couldn't help y-you." He started to shivering again. He was on the brink of crying. His breath was short but deep, like he was trying to catch his breath. It broke my heart.

"It's ok, Yoosung." I whispered to him so I can calm him down. I let go of the hug and patted his head. I stared into his eyes.

"You don't have to apologize all the time- Please don't." I told him. His eyes were all sparkling because of his tears.

"I-I won't Seven, I promise. It's j-just, I feel worthless. I'm not smart or as talented as you. I'm just a university student. I'm addicted to games and I'm failing class." Tears started to fall from his face. 

"My parents probably think I'm a failure." He stops and tries to catch his breath.

"You know I look up to you, right? "

"Yoosung-" I stopped myself. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know how to express my words. I've been hiding my feelings for so long. I forgot how to communicate any other feelings than my cheerful front that I show others. All while the younger male released all his emotions at me. Was I trustable? No. I can't be. He doesn't even know "me".

"What? Seven- What were you going to say?" The male with hair of gold wiped his tears.

"The only person that could make me feel strong was Rika. That's why I was studying what I am now! But she's gone now... I have nothing to work for now." I wiped his tears for him this time.

"Well, you can do it for me." I stare down, looking at the floor.

"Plus, you don't know a lot about me." Yoosung seems to have calmed down.

"I'll tell you."

"Then, what are your secrets?" He asks as he stares at me, trying to get eye contact.

"I told you, I-I'll tell you soon. Just- promise me you'll stay happy, okay?" I looked up and saw his unusual lavender eyes. He giggles.

"Okay~!" He went back to being happy so fast. I put my hand on his forehead. It was warmer than before.

"Yoosung, you have to eat. You're still sick, you know?"

"But, I'm not hungry~! Also, I won't eat until you eat." I sigh.

"Then, do you want me to feed you?" Yoosung blushes and nods his head yes.

"B-But not until you eat first." He frowns. 

"You're so stubborn- Yoosungie~! Lolol~!" I smile, covering my face with one of my hands covering my face. I took the bowl that I prepared before and quickly gulped it down. I got filled a new bowl for Yoosung since I wanted him to eat something still warm.

"Open wide~" I take a spoonful of rice porridge and feed it to him. He closed his eyes every time he was served a spoon.

After I finished, I took a napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth.

"Mm- You don't have to do that."

"But, I want to~!" I threw the napkin out. I poured out the old medicine and poured some new amount in from the bottle. 

"Wait- What about school?" Yoosung asks.

"Shhh- Don't think about these things right now. Just think about what you want to do here for now. You should relax and take a break. Now, say ahh-."

"Ahh-" I pour down the medicine, and Yoosung immediately starts coughing. 

"Are you okay!?!" I pat his back.

"I'm good. It's just that the medicine tastes weird." I get a cup of water for him.

"Thank you, Seven. You're a real friend."
