Chapter 22

Yumei and Jin completed the first lap at their slow pace, she was already breathing hard. Jim turned around to look at her. "Are you okay?"

She gave him a nod, "I-I am okay."

He slowed, even more, to let her catch up to him. "Your body has not adjusted to running yet. So let us pick up the pace then we can take a break and try a faster pace."

She responded with a nod, her breathing would betray her. They moved their pace to a faster jog and Yumei felt her legs buckling slightly but she kept upright. 'You will not let it define you.'

Jin looked at her who was jogging at her left, 'Well she looks fine but her breathing is off.' He took out his phone and typed a message.

"Hoseok, we can have a break after this. Then we can continue the 'training' and then end the day with the games."

His phone vibrated immediately.

"That is fine, anything you want to happen? I have paired up Unmei and Yoongi, they will be doing the running."

Jin grinned, that was perfect and he replied.

"We need to rally Yoongi's anger so if he is so close to little Yumei," his finger paused, what would make him angry? "Make Unmei play dirty, her target Yumei."

He pressed the sent button.

"You want Unmei to do what exactly?"

"Surprise me, Hoseok."

He put his phone back in his pocket when he looked left again, Yumei wasn't there. He turned his head back and looked over his shoulder.

There she was, her pace was slowing and he stopped to walk to her. "Miss Dodjima?"

Yumei who was looking down, looked up as he called her name and she stopped jogging. "Ye-Ye-Yes?"

Maybe Yoongi was right and she truly had a weak immune system and this might send her to the hospital but on the other hand, she could just be unfit. "Are you sure you can do this?"

The heat was scorching now and she wiped at her brow, her chest was heaving. "I-I think I can."

Jin took a step forward and placed his hand on her forehead, 'She is burning up.' He removed his hand, Yumei was looking wide-eyed at him. He smiled at her, "Let us start your break early then, so you can rest up before we go again."

Yumei thanked him in her heart, she didn't think that she would be able to continue anyway but she didn't want to let him down.

She gave him a nod and turned around, she wanted to be in the shade as she took a step forward and her legs finally gave out under her.

Jin leaned forward and grabbed her arm before she fell to the ground. "Miss Dodjima," he steadied her, "It seems you have pushed yourself far."

Yumei didn't answer him, her head was spinning and closing her eyes made it so much worst. She felt her body lifting from the ground.

Jin noted that she didn't answer, he picked her up bridal style and placed her right arm around his neck. Her head was leaning against his chest, He was having second thoughts about this plan of his. 'You can not soften your heart, Jin. Just see it through.'

He walked to the shade where her bags were and barked at his teammate that was standing around. "Get a blanket!"His teammate ran to the building and returned with a blanket that he laid on the ground. Jin adjusted Yumei in his arms and slowly bent his knees to lay her on the blanket.

He turned back to his teammate, "Fetch me cooling aids." He turned back to Yumei and placed his hand on her brow again, she was burning up at great speed. He looked around at where her bags were laying against, he opened the one and saw that it was full of water and medication, 'So Yoongi was correct, but why would she not say anything?'

There was confusion in his eyes as he looked over the bag, he had no idea what to do now. He took his phone out of his pocket as his teammate returned with a cooling aid, "Place it on her head." He swiped at his screen, "Hoseok, break early. Yoongi spoke the truth about Yumei, send him over now."

"And here I thought he was fibbing. I am sending him over to you now. What did you do, Jin?"

"I will tell you later."

"Sure, but what about the thing with Unmei?"

"We will proceed as planned, if Yoongi gets here, I will let him show me what medication she needs to drink."

"Then I will talk with Unmei and see what else we can do."

"Just keep an eye on the two."

Jin placed his phone back in his pocket and turned to his teammate, "You may leave." He gave Jin a nod, leaving him alone with her. He replaced his teammate's hand on the cooling aid, 'You are a fragile little thing aren't you?'

Namjoon's foot was tapping under his table, he wanted this period to be over as quickly as he could. He wanted to get to the sports field as quickly as he could. If what Tae said was true, Yumei might be alone and he would be able to talk to her.

He looked over at the clock, 'Bell ring already!' The Professor turned around, "So homework-" The bell rung which ended the period, Namjoon picked up his books and was the first one out the door.

He weaved through the incoming students around him and he almost tripped a few times trying for each the sports fields. "I have to hurry."

He got to the door that led to the open field he saw a few students standing around and muttering. He wondered what got their intention and he moved past them.

Namjoon's eyes widened with shock, Yumei was lying in the shade on a blanket and Jin was towering over her.

Why would Jin be with her? He answered his question, 'Because he was leading the initiation duh.' Namjoon walked forward when he heard a voice behind him.

"Are you sure you are not a stalker?"

Namjoon turned around, it was her bloodhound. "I told you, I am a novice detective."

His expression didn't change. "Why are you here then?"

Namjoon took a step back from him, he looked menacing. "I came to watch the initiation," which was semi-truth as his best friends were running the show.

He lifted an eyebrow at him. "I don't believe you, you have a weird infatuation with Yuki."

He took a step forward and Namjoon wanted to give him space but he saw the look that past over his face. "Yuki?!"

He ran past Namjoon to where Yumei was lying. Namjoon decided to follow him.

Yoongi was happy that they could take a break early, he and Unmei haven't talked much since they walked to the track for practice.

He kept his gaze mostly to the ground and she didn't seem to have minded the silence that fell between them. They stretched before going to a full-speed sprint.

Hoseok had called them and said they were allowed to break and he took Yoongi to the side. "You may visit your friend."

He looked back at Unmei who was drinking water and not giving him a second glance. "Thank you, sir."

Yoongi took one glance at Unmei again and left to go see if Yumei was alright, when he got there he saw there was a slight crowd that gathered.

He spotted the man that he saw Yumei with yesterday also weaving through the crowd. He didn't care if Yumei thought he was the boy she had met, he didn't trust him.

He confronted him but when he looked past him that was when he saw Yumei lying on the ground and Jim was towering over her.

'Shit!' Her name passed his lips in urgency, "Yuki!" He rushed past the guy he still thought as a stalker and fell beside Yumei's unconscious body.

He didn't glance up at Jin, "What happened?"

Jin looked amused, he wasn't even glancing at him. "I think she suffered a heatstroke."

'A heatstroke?' The heat was scorching but not to such an extent that you would get a heatstroke but she had a weak immune system so it would affect her differently.

Yoongi's hands were shaking and he looked around and saw the bags were lying there. He zipped the one open with her meds in, l and started unpacking. 'Breath, Yoongi. She will be fine.'

Jin was watching him closely, "Does she have any conditions?"

Yoongi looked up at this, he had told Hoseok that she had a weak immune system so he didn't tell Jin that?

"Yes, she has a weak immune system and can not participate in excessive exercise."

Jim sat back a little them he glanced down at her face. "Why didn't she say anything?"

Yoongi got the medication that helped with her breathing and took out a bottle of water. "She will not admit that she has a problem."

Why was he telling him this? Was it because he wanted him to excuse her for the rest of the ordeal? Probably, but Yumei would hate him for doing that.

But rather he does than Yumei getting hurt. "Can you help me get her up to take her medicine?"

Jin nodded and gently placed his arm under her shoulders, he moved behind her so that she leaned against his chest.

Yoongi unscrewed the water bottle and took out a pill, he leaned forward and parted her lips to put in the bottle. "Can you tip her head a little?"

Jin gently tipped her head and Yoongi placed the water a bottle at her lips, forcing water little by little in her mouth.

Yoongi noted that she was really pale, sweat was running down her face. He looked at Jin. "What was she doing?"

Jin gave him his full attention, "We were jogging."

Wait, did he say we? As in they are partners in this game? This was the worst thing that could happen.

Jin lifted an eyebrow, "Something wrong, Mr Shoma?"

Yoongi licked his lips, this was a nightmare they have drawn attention to themselves. Maybe he didn't know who she was but he would eventually. "Can I ask you to please excuse her for the rest of the activities?"

Jin moved slightly so that he can lay Yumei down again. "I will tell her, as soon as she wakes up."

Yoongi let out a breath of relief. "Thank you." Yoongi got up and looked at the crowd again and there stood the 'stalker.'

Hoseok tapped Unmei on the shoulder, she turned to him with an unreadable expression on her face. "What?"

"We have a small mission for you, " he grinned.
