He was 21; she was 19.

“Nayeon, you’re awake?”

“…”

“You sleepyhead, don’t go back to sleep. Eat something first.”

“Why are you still here? Let me sleep.”

“You’re sick.”

“That’s why, let me sleep, you’re noisy today.”

“It’s way past dinnertime.”

“Then go eat.”

“I did.”

“That’s goo- don’t pull me up!”

“I made porridge, eat.”

“I don’t want to, let me sleep.”

“No. You have to eat so you can take your medicine!”

“No, go away!”

“Stop being a brat and stop kicking me, I’m not going away!”

“And I’m not taking any medicine.”

“You have to!”

“Don’t snatch the blanket away!”

“Then eat, you brat!”

“I’m a sick person!”

“You seem energetic to me now. Look at how tightly you’re holding onto the blanket.”

“Good, then I don’t have to take my medicine right?”

“Im Nayeon, don’t turn your body away from me.”

“Goodnight!”

“Nayeon…”

“She’s asleep.”

“No, she’s not.”

“She is, so let her sleep.”

“Nayeon, I’m giving you one last chance.”

“For what?”

“Sit up, take your porridge and your medicine.”

“You know I hate medicine!”

“So? Take it so you will be well soon. Don’t make me drag you out from your bed.”

“I dare you to.”

“…”

“Wha- LET ME DOWN!”

“Let’s go to the living room, I will feed you.”

“MARK TUAN!”

“Stop moving about or I’m going to drop you.”

“Do it then.”

“Alright.”

“Wait, are you really- Ouch!”

“You gave me permission. Stop being dramatic, I dropped you on the couch.”

“It still hurts… ouch, my . Is this how you treat a sick person?

“If you’ve listened, I wouldn’t have resort to this. Now, open your mouth, ah.”

“…”

“Don’t sulk, open your mouth.”

“Ah.”

“Good girl, now eat and get well soon so I can focus on my projects. My groupmates are probably going to kill me if this continues. It’s been three days in a row.”

“You’re talkative today, focus on feeding me please.”

“I was being concerned. You should’ve listened to your parents and not stay in the dormitory.”

“I can take care of myself.”

“Yeah right.”

“Shut up.”
 

Okay, this chapter has a totally different style from any of the ones before. It's not descriptive and the actions are all in the dialogue. I've always enjoyed writing in this style. It seems short but it's not easy to include the actions in the conversation. I don't know if this is good enough, just treat this as an experiment piece! Just another four chapters to go and honestly, I'm pretty excited for the upcoming chapters! If you get what I mean. :)
