Youngran stifled a yawn even after getting up from her sleep, already dressed in her uniform. Truth to be told, she couldn’t blink an eye after getting Jeonghan’s message from yesterday. She couldn’t- She can’t sleep. Just because of that one message.

She doesn’t want to get high of herself but that one sentence obviously show that he still cares even though it’s possibly not the case and it’s highly unlikely, looking at the way he treats her now. If he did care, then there’s actually one personality of his that didn’t disappear.

She swore to the heaven that she felt so tired she could sleep while standing. Insane, she knows but what else she could do? Drowsiness greeted her an hour before dawn and she could fall asleep thanks to fatigue. Almost tripping down the stairs, she went out of the house, not before eating some food for energy.

“I must be crazy…” she muttered lowly.

Just because of a text, you think he would wait for you? Delusional, Moon Youngran. You’re being delusional right now. Slapping herself to reality, she stepped towards the way of her school.

And I still don’t even know the reason of him changing. It’s nearing two weeks…

+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+

Jungkook’s narrowed plus annoyed eyes welcomed Youngran inside the class and if it’s not for her deadbeat expression, he, as a police, would already interrogate the reason for her, as the criminal, skipping yesterday.

“What the heck happen to you? Did you watch horror film right before bed again or something?”

She doesn’t really want to ignore him but the circumstances made her do it. She was practically dead the second she landed her head on the table. He felt her soft breathing and he despised it when someone interrupted his rest so he made sure to not do that to anyone else since he knew how bad it felt like.

He had saved one coupon just for her yesterday and he thought of inviting her to eat pizza today but by the way she looked right now, he had second thought. Maybe some other day would be fine.

+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+

Several times, Youngran was this near to get herself a detention for dozing off in class but what a great best friend Jungkook is. He saved her for countless times now and she should be thankful for having him as her buddy.

Thankfully, the bell rang for lunch and she could care less about food right now. She rather hear her stomach growling during lessons than nodding off as if she understood everything her teacher was explaining but in fact, she was fighting the urge to just bang her head over her desk and sleep.

Jungkook rummaged through Youngran’s bag while she was sleeping to pull out her lunch and forced her to eat even just a spoon but frowned when he didn’t feel anything.

“Seems like she didn’t bring her lunch today,” he hummed and a sudden realization hits him. “Oh, his too.”

+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+

Jungkook gripped over Youngran’s bag before she could slam herself over the brick wall with a sigh escaping his lips. Shaking his head disapprovingly, he decided to walk her home for today to avoid from giving her a visit at the hospital or worse, her grave.

“How did you lose your sleep anyway?” he grumbled lowly, his hand still on her bag or she’ll walk aimlessly to a lamp post.

“Nothing…”

Doesn’t really want to argue, she let out a huge yawn, can’t really stop herself since the nap she had at the school was not enough. He eyed her who was fighting with her conscious to not close her eyes right beside the street where many people would give her their peculiar gaze.

“I’m not gonna be surprised if you sleep until sunrise,” he chortled in amused, result to a chuckle out of her. “Me neither.”

Jungkook reminded himself of the almost crumpled paper inside his school jacket and he brought it out, flashing Youngran his proud beam. “Look at what I’ve got.”

“I’m honestly too tired to move my neck so could you please tell me what that thing is?” She mumbled, and she’s currently walking with her eyes closed.

She’s not scared of tripping over a rock or something because he is there for her. Always.

“Lazy bum. It’s a pizza coupon. I saved one for you even though the others almost steal it from me, especially Jimin hyung,” he answered before waving the paper in front of her face, though she was too tired to look at it.

“Are we going there now?” she whined tiredly.

Youngran is very transparent about not going. Clearly, she rather slept for hours like a polar bear hibernating during winter time with the comfort of her bed. Jungkook have eyes and he could see that she doesn’t want to, not that he’s having the thought of forcing her or anything.

“Nah. Let’s hang out tomorrow. I’ll message you later,” he waved it away.

A huge grin came over her lips making him to chuckle. She’s indirectly saying “Thanks.” and “Okay.” to him. They’re best friend for more than 8 years now. How could he not know?

+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+

Jeonghan diverted his eyes to the house beside his when he heard a loud yell out of the blue. He cocked an eyebrow when he saw Youngran barging inside her toilet, one hand cupping over . The door slammed shut as another figure came inside his view. His eyebrows were connected when he realized that the figure is none other than Jeon Jungkook.

Jungkook shook his head while making a face when he heard her throwing up from the outside. Heaving out a huge sigh in pity, he rested Youngran’s bag on her study desk before waiting for her on her bed.

He almost guffawed at her gloomy-looking face but it’s not nice to laugh at other people misery so he held it in. Making her way towards her bed, she fell on the soft mattress tiredly, coughing once in a while after vomiting nothing from her inside since she haven’t really eaten properly today.

“Yah. Aren’t you going to fill up your empty stomach, Moon Youngran?” Jungkook patted her head softly and she only grunted, going to pass on that idea.

“You might get a gastric at this rate, you know,” he advised as she lazily opened her eyes. “I’m too exhausted to drag myself to the kitchen…”

“Aigoo… Am I your servant?” Ruffling her hair, he let out a small chuckle.

“Why? Are you going to cook me something, hmm?” She asked with a sleepy smile, her eyes slowly closing themselves again. Not gonna get her hopes up but she silently expect that he’ll bring some food for her that he found from the kitchen.

“I’m going home then,” he muttered making her to frown but it seems like she didn’t notice the crooked grin on his lips.

Youngran peek an eye upon hearing the door closing and she huffed, turning to face her wall with a twitching eyebrow. So much for a best friend…

+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+~=~+

“Young-ah.”

Youngran felt a hand shaking her shoulder and she whined, swatting the hand away altogether. She doesn’t find it amusing when someone disturbed her sleep.

“Are you going to wake up on your own or do I have to splash a bucket full of water on you?”

At the threat, she half-heartedly sat down, shooting a death glare on the guy but her eyes immediately rounded when a new smell was inside her nose.

“What’s… that?” Her big doe eyes were staring at Jungkook’s ones with anticipation and a huge beam graced his lips playfully. “I made a very instant food.”

Since Youngran was too lazy to head downstairs on her own, Jungkook had piggy-back her, although it was after her continuous pleads of not having any energy to walk, unwillingly. He let her down when they arrived at the kitchen and she happily sat down at the dining table.

“Don’t have such high hopes. I’m still a guy who isn’t going to learn cooking even if you put a knife over my throat,” a sigh left his lips and he plopped down on the seat opposite of her. “I put some eggs too so you’ll be full faster and there’ll be more for me. Heh.”

If it’s not for his kindness by cooking an actual food, though not really nutritious for her, she would already throw the chopsticks in her grasp to him. “At least it’s curry.”

“I pick the right one, once again,” he proudly smiled and slurped down the noodles.

Standing up, Youngran walked towards the fridge and took out some kimchi for the side dishes. “Now, this is one great meal.”

They both picked the kimchi one after another until the three packet of ramyeon has gone inside their tummy. She almost, almost burped shamelessly right in front of her best friend and decided to wash the dishes to distract herself. Well, better than lazing around like a bear hibernating.

“What time do you wanna hang out tomorrow?” Jungkook asked with his eyes glued on his phone.

Soaping over the bowls, she hummed while thinking of a time for them. “I don’t know. Anytime is fine for me. You can pick them yourself and message me about it.”

He snorted, turning away from his phone towards Youngran who was rinsing the utensils clean. “My gut’s telling me that you’ll forget again like last time. I won’t be surprise anymore if you will.”

“Noooooo! I’ll definitely go and remember! Stop picking on me!” she shook her head with a clear frown while her hands were wiping the dishes.

“I’m just kidding, Young-ah,” he chortled at her shout, obviously having fun teasing her.

Author’s Note:

Hunger is deadly. So is fasting. Lmao. Dieting is not necessary though. It’ll only make you sick so please don’t go on a diet if you love your tummy. ^^

LEARNING TIME:

I don’t think I use the right words for the gastric since I don’t really know how to change it from my language to English. Anyways, it’s best to avoid it though. I have experienced it once and it hurts like hell, more than your monthly period, no lie. The reason for it to appear is because either you eat too much, eat too little or you skip your meal time. For me, it’s because I skip meal. Not that I’m on a diet or anything, I’m already skinny without dieting though, but I’m just too lazy to get myself something to eat. The fridge is just 10 steps away but still… Hehe. (More like my blabbering time…)
