Chapter 24

Like Strangers

 

 

When ______ woke up on Monday morning, she had a fever, stuffy nose, and nausea.

Jaehyo came over and found ______ puking her guts out in the toilet.

"Whoa!~ What's going on?" he asked.

She whimpered.

"I feel like crap...oh no!~" she moaned and started to throw up again.

"Hold on! Wait!!!" he shouted, running around to get a rubber brand to tie up her hair.

"Hold on? I can't control...it...uh oh...."

He quickly kneeled down next to her and held her hair back, himself.

"Yah...why are you throwing up? Are you sick?"

"Duh!!" she snapped giving him a look like, 'Are you seriously asking me that? Are you blind?'

Jaehyo's eyes widened.

"Yah, you're not pregnant are you?!?!"

She gave him a 'wtf' look and snickered.

"That's impossible."

"How do you know?! It could be possible!"
 

"Oh yeah, I'd make history for that one."

"How so?"

"Babo Oppa, how many cases of immaculate conception do you know of?!" she giggled.

"Huh? One?"

"The chance of that happening again aren't very likely."

"Huh?"

"I'm a ! So I'm not pregnant you weirdo!"  she shouted, causing his face to go red.

"Oh, okay, good!!" he said. "That's good to know. You're still a ."

"You're just happy that I'm not having with Jinyoungie."

"Yes! Yes, I am!" he nodded. "I'm completely happy..but..."

"But what?"

"If that's not it, then what is it?"

She pointed her finger at him.

"You."

"I didn't get you pregnant! At least, I don't think I did..." he said looking up, as if deeply, thinking about it.

"Did you forget to wear a helmet at batting practice?" she giggled.

"Possibly, why?"

______ couldn't hold in her laugh, but started to cough.

"Aish, Oppa!!"

"What?! What did I do?!" he asked, patting her back.

"I’m not pregnant! You're just contagious."

"I'm not sick anymore."

"Yeah...that's because you gave it to me!!" she whined.

"Did I?!" he said softly, with an apologetic, puppy dog look on his face. "Oh, I'm sorry, ______-ah." he said. "You should get to bed. Can you walk?"

He helped her stand up and wobble her way, back to bed.

"Aish...Jaehyo Oppa!!" she whined.

"Oh, Mianhae." he chuckled. "I didn't mean to...but you know, sharing is caring. It can be fun."

She whimpered and laid back on her pillow, pulling her blanket over her face.

"Is snot pun!"

"What's a snot pun?" he teased.

"Yah, do abway!"

"Huh?" he said, leaning in closer.

"Argh!!! I ate choo."

"Nah, I'm not edible. That’s called cannibalism.”

"Do to school aweady!"

"Fine...fine." he chuckled. "I'm sorry that I got you sick. I could stay and take care of you.”

“No, you can’t.” she said softly.

“Why? You’d rather your boyfriend stay with you?” he spat, like it had left a bitter taste in his mouth.

“No…that’s not it.” She said with a smile. “You can’t ruin your perfect attendance record, Oppa. You’ve been working on it for years. I don’t want him here either. If I got someone sick, I’d feel guilty.”

Jaehyo made a face.

“Is that a shot at me?! Yah, I’m sorry that I got you sick!~” he pouted.

"You should be!" she teased.

"Yah, I understood that one!!~" he said. "Are you sure you'll be okay? Is there anything that you need? Do you hurt at all?”

"My throat hurts a bit, and my head is throbbing."

"Well...I got you a gallon water bottle. Make sure you drink a lot of water to stay hydrated." he said. "You said, your throat hurts, so try not to talk so much."

Jaehyo pressed one palm to her forehead and the other to his, to compare.

"Tha-"

"Yah...no speaking." he said.

"But...I just..."

He glared at her, cutting her off.

She looked at him, wondering how she'd communicate without spoken words.

She pulled out her cell phone and typed a text.

-Thank You Jae Oppa ^^-

He read the text and chuckled.

“You’re so weird.”

-I get it from you!!~~~ XD-

"Okay, Sicky, I'll make you some tea, with lemon and honey, before I go. It'll help soothe your sore throat. Get some rest okay?"

She nodded and slumped back down into bed.

Jaehyo got her, her tea before he headed out the door.

He bumped into Jinyoung on the way.

"Jaehyo-ssi?"

"Oh, Jinyoung-ssi." Jaehyo said, observing the younger boy's behavior.
He seems  fidgety and worried about something.

"Have you heard from ______ today? She's not answering her phone."

"Oh yeah. She's not allowed to answer her phone." Jaehyo said.

"Why not? Is she grounded?"

"No, not at all. She's just sick...that's my fault. I think I gave her my flu or something. is sore, so I told her not to talk, it might make it worse. You could try texting her."

"Oh, right."

"I told her to get some rest so, hopefully, she's asleep right now. Either that, or my Umma is over there. If you went over there, I would probably get into a lot of trouble with ______.”

“Oh, okay.”

“If I were you, I’d go anyway.” Jaehyo said with a small smile. “Just…get a mask or something so you don’t get sick, alright? See you, around."

He bowed and walked off to find the other Block B members, while Jinyoung went towards the B1A4 table.

"Where's Noona?!" Gongchan pouted.

"She's sick, so don't call her." Jinyoung said.

"Aww...I miss Noona. We haven't seen her all weekend. She must've caught it from Jaehyo Hyung."

Jinyoung just nodded and sent her a text.

-______-ah!~ Jaehyo-ssi told me that you’re sick. :(-

-It’s not too bad Jinyoungie. :) I’m still alive.-

-But I should be there taking care of you :( -

-No, I’m okay. Don’t worry Jinyoungie ♥-

-I’m coming to see you after school.-

-NO! Yah, didn’t Jaehyo Oppa tell you not to? Do you want to die?-

Jinyoung chuckled at that.

-Yes…-

-Yes?! Yes you want to die, or yes, he told you?-

-Sorry I didn’t mean to confuse the sick person keke-

“Where’s your girlfriend?” a female voice said.

“What?” Jinyoung said looking up, just in time, to see Naeun take a seat next to him. “Oh, Annyeonghaseyo!~”

Jaehyo saw her, from his seat at Block B’s table and rushed over there.

“Oh, Jaehyo Hyung, where did you come from?” Gongchan said.

“Annyeonghaseyo Oppa.” Naeun said, bowing to him.

Jaehyo crossed his arms and glared at her.

“Leave him alone.”

“She’s not bothering me, Jaehyo-ssi.” Jinyoung said.

“Not yet…” the older man muttered under his breath.

“Oppa, I didn’t do anything wrong. I was just saying hello. I wanted to introduce myself.”

“Nothing good, comes from meeting you. You’re not someone, who can be trusted. If you mess with him, you’ll regret it.”

Naeun pouted.

“Oppa, why are you being so mean? Unnie would have sympathy for me.”

“______ hates you. You’re the only person that she hates. So I highly doubt it.”

“Who’s fault is that?”

B1A4 sat there confused.

“What’s going on?” Jinyoung asked.

“Jaehyo Oppa is just being mean…” she whined.

“Uh huh…says the person that messed up my life.” He muttered.

“Me? I messed up your life? I made you popular…did you lose something in the process?” she asked with a grin.

Jaehyo clenched his fists tightly at his sides.

“You little…YAH! LEAVE!” he snapped, causing B1A4 to jump in surprise. “You’re here because ______ isn’t…”

“Not at all, Oppa.”

CNU, Baro, and Sandeul looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Gongchan and Jinyoung were focused on Jaehyo.

‘Jaehyo Hyung looks angry.’ The maknae thought.

“Son Naeun, go find your boyfriend and stay away from here.”

“Aww…come on. I’m sorry okay?”

“I, honestly, couldn’t care less…” Jaehyo sighed. “Get going.”

“Fine…” she pouted and walked off.

“Jaehyo-ssi…what’s up?” Jinyoung asked.

“She said she made you popular.” The maknae pointed out. “Jaehyo Hyung, is that the reason you and Noona stopped being friends?”

“Mhm, like I said, don’t trust her.” Jaehyo said firmly before walking away, leaving them curious. 'If they trust her, ______ won't like it, at all. In fact, she'll be pissed.'

“Why shouldn’t we trust her?” Baro said.

“Yeah, she looks sweet and adorable.” CNU said.

“I don’t know, It’s really making me wonder though.” Jinyoung said. "Hmm..."

After school got out, Jinyoung was at his locker and Naeun came over.

“Annyeonghaseyo!” she said cheerfully.

“Annyeonghaseyo.” He replied.

“Don’t believe any of the things Jaehyo Oppa has told you about me. I’m not a bad person.” Naeun said sweetly. “Do I look like I could hurt a fly?”

“No, not really.” Jinyoung said. ‘She seems sweet enough. I think Jaehyo-ssi is wrong about her. She looks like a little angel. This girl can’t, possibly, be evil.’

“I’m Son Naeun!~” she said holding out her hand to him.

“Jung Jinyoung.” He said shaking her hand. “Well, I have to get going. It was nice meeting you. I guess, I’ll see you around?”

“You too!~” she said with an 'innocent' smile.
