Jackson POV

I sat quietly watching a movie in the room, when suddenly I heard a door slamming. I guessed that it was Jin. He returned from meeting with Viki and probably they did not talk the best. I got up out of bed and went to him in case he'll need my support.

His appearance shocked me. He stood in the corridor all shivering. His hair was in turmoil, and on the face tears frozen. What the hell happened? I walked over to him and gently touched his arm - it was cold as ice. Do not tell me that he went without a jacket, just in a t-shirt in this cold weather. That's not possible, right?

- Jin, are you okay? - I asked.

He looked at me hazy, faraway eyes.

- She broke up with ... me. - He stammered and fainted.

- Jin! - I shouted, grabbing him - Jin?!

Alerted with my screams Maciek come out from room. He ran over straight to me and helped bring Jin to his room.

- What happened? - He asked - Why is he so cold?

- I have no idea what happened. I think something went wrong with Viki. Have we a thermometer at home?

- I'll look for it.

The boy ran to the kitchen, where we had a first aid kit. I stuck Jin under the covers. His condition scared me a lot. Maciek came with the device you were looking for. I immediately put it to Jin's forehead.

- Damn. Less than 35 degrees. We need to warm him up. - I said upset - Bring our quilts and blankets. I warms the water to a hot water bottle.

- Maybe we should take him to the hospital?

- We'll see how he will feel when we raise his temperature. Give covers.

I went into the kitchen and I put water in the kettle, and pulled a hot water bottle from the medicine cabinet. When I returned to Jin, the boy have been covered with several layers and could barely be seen. I put warm object under this pile and sat down on a chair beside the bed. Maciek was sitting on the floor and maniacal enveloped our friend. When I looked at his pale, tear-stained face my heart ached. I did not think I would ever see him in such a bad state. I thought that we had this behind us. I had to do something with those dried-tears, because I'll start crying myself. I got up so abruptly from the place that I frightened Maciek, who looked at me surprised. I brought out of the bathroom a towel soaked in warm water, and wiped carefully face the unconscious boy.

Warming Jin up took us about two hours. During this time, the temperature approached 36 degrees, and his face slowly took on color. I felt relieved. But we still watched him closely with Maciek. Imagine our surprise when the next hours, almost in the middle of the night Jin became delirious and terribly sweat.

- What happened to him this time? - Maciek asked sleepy, awaked by muttering Jin.

I measured his temperature again. From one extreme to another.

- He has a fever. More than 39 degrees. Damn it! – I cursed.

- What do we do now?

- Taking it down. Bring antipyretics. I'm going for a cold compress.

We organized quickly what we need and we again at his bedside. He was all wet. We changed him into dry clothes, changed bedding too. We gave him tablets. We lifted several layers of covers, leaving only one. When he laid once again, I place wet wrap across his forehead. And we waited again.

It was early in the morning, when my phone rang. It was Kaya. Maybe I can find out what happened yesterday. I left the room, glancing previously at sleeping peacefully Jin and Maciek beside him. He was still on the floor. In the middle of the night I covered him a blanket. I cleared my throat and picked up.

- Hello.

- Jackson, darling. Good morning. How's the situation on you? You sound tired and worried. - she said.

- Hello Kitty. It was a hard night. Jin's ill. What happened yesterday?

- The situation here is similar. Viki was crying half the night, until she get fever.

- Jin also had a fever. He return home all frozen and he fainted. What happened between them? - I asked again. Kaya definitely knows something, she had heard something.

- Jackson, I do not know if I should talk to you about it. That's their business.

- Kaya, I would like to help him. This is my friend. I can not see how he's suffering.

- I understand you. I also hurt by the view of weeping Viki, but probably there's not much we can do.

- Is the matter so serious?

- They broke up, Jackson. Viki broke up with him yesterday and told him to leave.

My jaw dropped. They broke up? After all they went trough. Maybe it's all a misunderstanding? What happened between them? Damn it!

- Take care of Viki. I'll take care of Jin. When they get better to talk with them.

- I wanted to ask you the same thing. - I heard she's smiling.

- We think on the same wavelength, honey. Hang on there.

- You too, honey. Kisses.

I clucked in response to the phone and hung up. I shuffled to the bathroom to do the morning toilet. I felt that the day will not be easy to survive.

Jin POV

I woke up all sore and confused. I looked around, I was in my room. I totally do not know how I got there. When I touched my head, from forehead already dry pack fell off. What happened to me? I tried to get up, but I has not any strength and sank helplessly on the pillow. I closed my eyes, trying to remember what happened yesterday. When harsh reality come to me, I felt a twinge in the chest. It is impossible. This is definitely just a terrible dream. I heard someone enter the room, so I opened my eyes.

- Jin, you finally woke up. – said glad Jackson, setting down a tray with water and medicines, on the desk. - How do you feel?

- What happened? – I asked with difficulty.

I just felt that I have desert in my throat.

- Take it easy. Firstly take medicine.

He sat on a chair beside the bed. He gave me the pills and ordered to drink plenty of water, what I did. Oh, it feel so well! A friend planted me another pillow under my back, I was in a half-sitting position. I looked at him expectantly, so he started to speaking.

- I do not know what happened. I only know that on Sunday evening you came home totally frozen up because of what you got ill with pneumonia.

- Pneumonia. - I repeated mindlessly - What time is it?

- About 2 pm.

- What are you doing here? You said that you have exam at Monday.

- Jin, there's 2 pm but at ... Wednesday. - He said seriously.

- What?!

- While all this time you had high fever. You sweated all of your shirts. Yesterday we called a doctor. Your condition improved after you took medicines.

- I can not believe it. – I sighed.

- Do not tired yourself. Have a rest, we'll talk later.

He doesn't has to repeat me. As soon as he left, I fell asleep again.

When I wake up it was already dark. Jackson sat next to my desk and Maciek on the floor leaning against the bed. Both were holding books and fiercely reading them.

- Guys. - I said.

They put books away immediately and friends were next to me.

- Jin, how nice to hear you again. - Said almost plaintively Maciek – I was warried about you so much.

- Thank you for caring about me. I do not know how to repay you.

- Just never come back in such a bad state.

- I can't promise you anything.

- Can you tell us what happened? - said Jackson.

Only for mere mention of this, my heart ached, and I felt tears under my eyelids. I did not want to remember these few last, terrible moments with Viki and its hurtful words.

- I do not want to talk about it, I do not have a strength.

I said and turned my back on them. Guys not pressed. They just sighed and returned to the interrupted earlier reading.
