I grabbed my purse and car keys and headed towards my car. I was sweating and had trouble breathing but I couldn't let that stop me from doing my work.

I arrived 15 minutes early like always and gave coffee to everyone. Everyday is the same thing: making coffee and handing them to everyone, cleaning each office that's in the building, make sure the idols have their schedule, make copies, hand papers to their rightful owner,etc. I don't mind all the hard work. I actually enjoy it...but today seems different. I don't feel like doing anything but I have to or else my boss will see me as lazy and irresponsible and will fire me.

"Here you go. I organized everything for you and put them in alphabetical order", I set down the box on the desk and bowed before leaving.

I was out of breath so I walked into the bathroom and washed my face with water. I pulled off a couple of paper towels and carefully wiped my face. I stared at my reflection in the mirror and noticed how tired I looked. I shook my head and managed to put on a smile.

"I am Layla. I'm not a quitter. I work hard in order to make myself a responsible and trustworthy employee."

I nodded at myself and walked out of the bathroom. Although I still felt weak, I continued with my routine.

"Layla, can you run down to the small office and make a dozen copies for each paper. No rush but I will like them before I go on my lunch break...which is in 45 minutes", my boss said as he kept his eyes on the computer in front of him.

"Yes sir", I bowed and took the papers from his desk.

I pressed the small button for the elevator and waited. It was barely on the 5th floor and I'm all the way on the tenth floor.

"Come on, come on", I groaned as I tapped my fingers on the papers.

"Hi Layla."

I looked to my left to find Jin smiling next to me.

"Oh..hey Jin", I grinned and focused on the small elevator button.

I kept repeatedly pressing on it, hoping to make the elevator go faster.

"Are you okay? You're sweating", Jin said.

"I'm fine. I just need to get copies of these", I said.

I quickly walked into the elevator with Jin following behind. I pressed the button for the eight floor and stood back as the door closed.

"Have you eaten yet?", he asked.

"No", I said.

"What? You should always eat before you work that way you'll be more focused and strong", he said.

"I'm fine. I'm gonna eat after I get these back on his desk", I said.

"We should eat together. At the diner in the corner. I heard it's very good", he smiled.

"Um..sure", I said.

As soon as the doors opened, I ran towards the copy machine. One by one, I set down each paper on the machine and pressed copy.

"Wow, you're fast. No wonder they hired you", Jin said.

"No offense but what are you doing here? You should be practicing right? And I don't want your manager to think that I'm distracting you", I said.

"We're done with practice. And I wanted to hang out with you. Do you need help carrying those?", Jin asked as I placed the papers in a box.

"No I got it", I grunted as I picked up the box.

"You don't look so good. Here, let me carry it", he extended his arms forward but I quickly swatted them away.

I headed for the elevator and went back to the office. My boss wasn't around so I put the box on his desk. I felt dizzy so I had to put both of my arms on his desk.

"Are you sure you're okay?", Jin asked as he put both of his hands on my shoulder.

"Yes I'm fine. I just need food", I said.

Jin and I headed for the exit of the building. Once I walked out of the building, the brightness of the sun made me feel lightheaded. I put my hand on my head and stumbled. Jin had to hold me so I wouldn't fall. He placed his hand on my forehead and flinched by how burning hot it felt.

"I knew you weren't feeling well. I'm gonna go tell my manager to give you the rest of the day off and I'll take care of you", Jin said as he helped me sit down on one of the chairs in the building.

After Jin talked to my boss, he carried me to his car and drove us to his house. I fainted during the ride there which caused Jin to carry me once again.

When I did wake up, there was a soaked cloth on my forehead while I was laying down on a bed. Jin came in and checked my temperature.

"Your fever is coming down. That's good. Take this and I made you chicken soup", he handed me a small pill and some water.

I slowly sat up and took off the cloth from my forehead. I looked around and noticed the room I was in was very neat and organized.

"Say ahh."

I looked back at Jin and noticed he had a bowl of chicken soup and a spoonful of it was extended towards me.

"Jin I can feed myself ", I said.

"Not with the medicine you just took. You're gonna feel very exhausted in a couple of seconds. Plus, I don't mind it", Jin smiled.

I yawned and rubbed my eyes like a little kid. I opened my mouth with my eyes closed and took a bite.

"You won't be working tomorrow. My manager said it was okay as long as you get better", he said.

"What?? But I need to go. I'll get fired", I said nervously.

"No you won't. You need rest or you'll get worse and will have to go to the hospital. I have a day off tomorrow so I'll be taking care of you until you get better", he said as he fed me.

"....thanks Jin. I really appreciate it", I said.

"No worries. Get some sleep and I'll check on you later", he smiled and covered me with blankets that weren't to thick.

He left the air on for me and made sure I was comfortable. After he turned off the light and closed the door, I stared at the ceiling for a couple of seconds. I've never had anyone care for me as much as Jin, not even my parents. My eyes were getting heavy and soon fell asleep.
