22 ; Fever

Always.

I stared at the phone for as long as I could remember.

Always. It was also his last message to me.

Being honest, I still haven't fully moved on from the tragedy last year. In fact, I couldn't get on my feet for months after it happened. I graduated with flying colors in University, but what for? It didn't give me much satisfaction. It was a depressing graduation. I struggled to get my feet moving on that day. 

I could still remember the heavy grief that was planted into my chest. How I couldn't take care of myself properly if it weren't for my doctor roommate and Jaebum. If they weren't there, I would've already rotted and withered inside my room. I lost all the hope I had in me when Mark left. Every motivation I had was taken away, and all that was planted with me was hopelessness and the grief that gnawed all of my heart. 

But thank heavens that I'm still standing. That I managed to pick myself up from my self-destructing thoughts. Everything's going well, and I'm in the process of picking up the broken pieces that were left of me. 

I snapped back to reality and packed my belongings. It was getting cold, after all, winter is coming.

As I walked along the hallways, the glass walls were getting foggy, the skies were cloudy and dark. There was sprinkling rain tapping against the glass, not too intense since maybe snow would fall any time soon. Damn, I should've brought a coat. I only wore casual work attire, and didn't bother bringing a coat or umbrella. I didn't feel the need to because my condominium/apartment unit was just a few blocks away.

I sighed.

Now I have to walk in the cold and in the sprinkling rain.

I went my way out to the entrance of the building, until I received a text message from Jaebum.

< sorry loser i cant come this lunch

< dont miss me too much tho

I chuckled.

As if,, i'll only miss yeonwoo dumass>

<lmfao she's with me in the hospital :)

Ohoho. I sense something going on here.

I put down my phone and chuckled to myself. It won't take long until the two recognize each other's feelings and get together.

I stood at the entrance of the building and hugged my small backpack. It won't take long to shuffle my way to my apartment, anyways. I might just make a quick lunch for myself, maybe a soup and a hot tea because of the cold weather.

Damn, my skin's already starting to shiver.

I shuffled my way, walking as quickly as possible while protecting my backpack from getting wet. It was as if I was protecting my own heart from getting drenched.
