I watched his stomach as it heaved up and down as he took in each breath, as I knelt beside his bed.

It was an effort to get him all the way back to his house, when he was half frozen and dead, and it was more of an effort for me since there was no one, I ended up being the one to care for him tonight.

I sighed, and reached forward to feel the wet rag I placed on his forehead.

It was already dried out and hot, due to his now growing fever.

I then took the rag and dipped in back in the ice cold water in the bucket beside me, and twisted out the excess water before I placed back on his forehead, to which he began to relaxed under.

I haven't gotten him the medicine yet, so I got up and picked up the bucket with me, and out his room to find medicine for his fever. I walked into the bathroom, and opened the mirror cabinet to find many pill bottles, but all of them were for other things, not for a fever.

I then went downstairs, and searched in the kitchen area. I opened the last cabinet in the corner wall, and I was greeted with many shelves of pill bottles and other types of medical containers.

I frowned. I've heard that his mom is a doctor, but seriously why do they have so many pill bottles?

I shrugged.

Maybe she wanted sample pill bottles or something, who knows.

I reached forward and grabbed the top bottle that read Tylenol in red letters, and closed the cabinet.

After heading upstairs, I made him sit up and gave him the pills for his fever, and gave him a glass of water to wash it down. After he swallowed and drank the water, he pointed weakly at his dresser.

"You want me to get you something in there?" I asked him, and he nodded.

I got up, and walked towards his dresser. It took me two tries to pull out which slot he wanted me to open for him, but I managed. It was the last slot, and I pulled it out to revel... more white pill bottles.

Why... were there so many pill bottles? I looked back at V to see if there was a sign of anything, but he just normally waved his hand for me to get a bottle. "Which one?" I asked.

"Green cap. Blue cap. And Red cap." He said, and I saw it and pulled them all out. I walked back to him, and gave him the bottle. I watched him open the cap and take out one of each in his hand.

The way he leans his head back as he shoves the pills into his mouth, it was like he was used to it.

As he gulps down the water, I just stared at him without any thoughts.

When he finished, he placed the glass down, and laid back down.

This time, he didn't close his eyes.

He was looking at me, but I was unable to look back at him.

His fingers found the fringes of my hair that escaped from behind my ear. He carefully placed them behind my ear, and made a noise like a "Hmph" as a short smile reappeared on his lips.

His eyes were on mine. "You're staying," He whispered.

When I didn't reply, he knew something was a little off.

"What's wrong?" He asked me, his fingers trailing down from my hairline to my cheek.

"... How are you... feeling?" I asked him instead, and he suddenly crossed his eyes and puckered his lips.

"I guess you are doing good... I'll go home now," I say shortly as I got up and turned, but he grabbed back my hand and pulled me back.

"Ugh, I knew you were going to do that."
I mumbled.

He just smiled, his grip still on me.

"Are you going to let me go home?"

He shook his head no.

I then showed him my phone's screen that had my mom's 20 missed calls.

"Now can I go home?"

He started to sit up, but stopped midway when he made a pained expression on his face as he reached towards his head.

"Are you okay?!"I say as I kneel back down on my knees, dropping my phone onto his side as I reached towards his head to feel it again."Do you need me to put another cold rag for you?"

I asked as I panicked as his painful expression never leaving his face.

He took my hand and moved it to the right place on his forehead, so now I was looming over him, trying to help him with the pain as I placed both hands on his forehead, where he wanted me to.

"Is it right here on the sides of your head? If it isn't then I guess I have to get you some more-"

I stopped mid sentence when I felt two hands traveling from my waist, my hips, and all the way back to the small of my back where the two hands clasped each other.

Before I could look down at him, he suddenly pulled me down on him, and I gasped.

"Hey!" I exclaimed as he began to laugh, and I punched him on his arm several times.

"You pervert! You were only doing that so that I would come back to you!" I say angrily, but he just kept on laughing.

"Yah, let me go. Or I'll catch a fever too." I say, but he never let go of me.

"No... I just want to hold you like this," He said.

Each time I pushed myself off him, he held me tighter.

"Ugh," I say, feeling myself exhausted.

"Giving up yet?"
He asked, cocking an eyebrow up.

"No." I stubbornly say, and with another push, I succeeded. "It's getting late. I really have to go home. From the looks of it, I could see myself being grounded." I say, looking at the time as I stood up.

"I'm sorry," He apologized, but I shook my head.

"It's okay. I'm grounded 24/7 anyways." I shrugged. "You stay in bed okay? Drink your water before you turn into dry squid by tomorrow." I say to him as I made my way out his bedroom.

"Hyeri," He called after me. I turned around, and looked at him.

"Hm?"

"T-thank you... for staying with me." He said, and smiled.

"Ha, you're thanking me now?" I just say, but secretly I was happy that I did.

"If you need anything, just ask me."
I say after, and I waved before I turned and headed downstairs, and out the front door.

As I walked back to my house, I couldn't help but feel the warmth in my cheeks and body as I thought about all the events tonight that I had with him.

My phone suddenly rang a notification, and I took it out from my pocket to check and see it was from an unknown number.

I pressed on it to see it was a text.

Unknown Number: ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Hellow

I texted back.

Who are you?

Unkown Number: ʕ•͡౪•ʔ Guess

I don't have time to play games. Who. Are. You?

Unknown Number: ʕ•͡-•ʔ Who are you?

I was already drained out of energy, so I was a bit irritated.

I'm seriously dead tired right now. You better tell me now or I'll block you.

Unknown Number: ʕノ•ᴥ•ʔノ ︵ ┻━┻

I sighed in annoyance as I placed my phone back in my pocket, and had reached my house, and got inside.

It was quiet and dark, so I snuck upstairs quick and quietly and into my bedroom without trying to wake my parents up.

After that, I jumped onto my bed and took out my phone again to see the person texted me back.

Unknown Number: ʕ•͡౪•ʔ It's Tae Tae

I frowned, and tried to remember when he took my number.

I never gave it to him before, so how did he get it?

How'd you get my #?

Unknown Number:
ʕ￫ᴥ￩ʔ While I was hugging you

I placed my head on my pillow and groaned.

Now I remember.

It was when he pushed me down on him since I felt my phone go missing in my hand.

Maybe he was calling his phone on mine since his hands were behind my back.

I sent back an emoji.
🖕🏻

Unknown Number: You know you have always wanted my #

Shut up and sleep.

Unknown Number:

ʕ ಡ ﹏ ಡ ʔ You're not my dad!
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Not before you do

I sighed.

I need to sleep.
You especially need to sleep.

Unknown Number:
I'll finish up what I'm trying to say.
If I could, I would've walked you home but in my state I can't
o(T△T)o

but I promise I'll make it up for you as soon as possible!
I hope you get home safely.
Goodnight Hyeri Noona! ʕ￫ᴥ￩ʔ <3 <3 <3

I bit my lip as I read his text, and I sent him back a goodnight text.

I did. Night Tae
Feel better ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ

I placed my phone on my bedside to charge, and laid back down, feeling myself smile all over again.

I then turned to my side, and closed my eyes, drifting into a deep sleep.
