It was a cold day in Seoul. It was finally winter, your favourite season. For some reason you have always enjoyed the cold, especially the snow. You were just coming home from your last day of class at Medical school. You were studying medicine and today was the last day before you go on winter break. One whole month of doing absolutely, nothing, you felt happy and relieved. But, there was still a lot of studying to do. As you were walking home from your university, you stumbled upon a boy, who looked like he was injured. He was holding his arm and kept groaning. He only had 2 layers on and you immediately thought he was crazy. You didn’t see his face, because he was looking down. He looked like he was in a lot of pain. Being the kindhearted person that you are you decided to go help him. You are studying to become a doctor anyway, so this reaction should be a natural instinct. As you got closer, your heart dropped when you finally noticed. That man was Jung Chanwoo. He looked at you, shocked because he knew you were a fan or else your  face wouldn’t have looked like you had just seen a ghost. He was about to run away, before you grabbed his hands and pulled him. “Come with me, you’re hurt! I’ll help you.” You said as you pulled him. He struggled at first, but you strengthened your grip on his wrist. Thankfully, your house was not that far away.  In less than a minute you were already approaching your apartment building and you brought Chanwoo in. He entered your unit, and you told him to sit on the couch which he did, obediently. Seeing how he listens to your instructions, you figured out that Chanwoo trusts people very easily and that he is probably very gullible. You went to Chanwoo and asked him where the pain was. He pointed at his arm, and you rolled up his sleeves. He groaned because of the pain. “Sorry”  you said. Chanwoo just smiled. You took the necessary things you needed to treat Chanwoo and came back. As you were treating his wound you decided to strike up a conversation because he seemed quite tense. “So, how did you get this wound? It’s pretty bad. It’s like someone cut you with a blade or something.” you said. “I can’t tell you.” Chanwoo replied. “Well, you could at least tell me, whether you did this on yourself? Are you going through depression? Stress? Lonely” You asked. “NO!” Chanwoo said angrily. You jerked away from him due to the shock of his tone. “Fine, sorry, I shouldn’t have asked. It’s none of my business. I guess cause I’m training to be a doctor, you see, so I’ve been trained to ask these kind of questions.” You said calmly. “No, I’m sorry. I’m just really stressed out. I don’t know what to do” Chanwoo admits. “Someone did this to you. Am I right?” You asked concernedly. Chanwoo looked down and didn’t reply. “I knew it. Who is it though? One of the members? a trainer? If they’re abusing you, you’ve got to make a report.” you said. “I cant. Thats the problem. He’s one of the members.” he says. From his expression, he looked as if he wanted to cry. You didn’t want him to be sad, so you stopped talking about it. You finished treating his wound and you went to get him a cup of hot tea to calm him down. He looked comfortable on your couch, with his arm all better. “Wow, it doesn’t hurt at all now. You have got magic hands!” Chanwoo said with a smile. He looked handsome with that expression. You handed him the cup of tea, and sat next to him. Suddenly he muttered “He’s a member of the group, and, I really respect him, but lately, he has been a bit abusive. And pushy. He bullies me. He did that a little before but now it has gotten worse. Being the youngest member of the group and all he just pushes me around. The other members don’t do anything either and I don’t know why. It’s as if they’re scared of him.” “Wow, I feel sorry for you. Chanwoo, I really wish I could help. If you ever need a hand, believe me, I won’t hesitate to assist you.” You assured him. Chanwoo just looked straight ahead and smiled. You did the same. Then, you started thinking which member could do something like that to a nice boy like Chanwoo. You were a fan of iKON, and meeting Chanwoo was a miracle. But, he had you thinking, could it be that the member he was talking about was Hanbin? “All the other members feared him.. who else could it be? He bullied me before, but now it has gotten worse. And he did mention about himself being the youngest member, meaning that member must be much older than him. It can’t be Jinhwan and Bobby, those two are harmless. It can’t be Hanbin, I hope it’s not.” You thought to yourself. You snapped out of your thoughts after Chanwoo waved his hand in front of you. You looked at him with a blank face and he chuckled. “Yes?” You asked him. “I asked you for your name” he said while laughing. You giggled in embarrassment. You were so deep in thought, that you didn’t realise he spoke to you. “(YN)” You said. “Oh, you’re not Korean?” He asked. “No. I’m here to study medicine. It’s my 2nd year.” you explained. “Wow, your korean is really good, I thought you were Korean.” Chanwoo said. “Really?! Thank you!” You said with a big smile. You noticed that he was talking to you with honorifics and you told him to stop, cause you were both the same age. “What? Really?! Cool! When’s your birthday?” he asked excitedly. “(insert birthdate later than Chanwoo's) ” you replied. “Oh so I’m slightly older than you. Which makes me your oppa. So,call me OPPA!” He said. He looked at you and smiled and you felt happy that he’s not so worried anymore. “I think I should go now. The other members will start to ask where I am. Especially him.” Chanwoo said as his expression changed. You immediately started to feel bad for him again. You walked him to the door and before you opened the door for him he said “Promise you won’t tell anyone about this? This whole abuse thing. If this goes out to the press, and it came from me, I’ll be dead meat.” Chanwoo begged. “Chanwoo, I’m training to become a doctor. You know trust is the most important thing between a patient and a doctor right? Also, if anything happens, tell YG to SUE MEEEE” you said. Chanwooo bursted out in laughter and you both laughed together. Just as he was walking out the door you said “Chanwoo, if you ever need help, just knock on my door, I’m always home. Now that I’m on holiday, I will always be here” You suggested to him. “Arent you going out with your friends?” Chanwoo asked. “What friends? I have no friends?” You said to him. He looked at you with a worried face. And you just laughed. “I’m kidding. I do have friends, but I’m not really the type of girl who goes out a lot. I’m broke anyway.” You said. He laughed and said goodbye before he left your house. As he left, you felt like you were in a dream. Never did you think you would have Jung Chanwoo as your first patient and you haven’t even graduated yet. 

    The next day, the temperature in Seoul was so cold, it was recorded as the lowest in the history of Korea. As much as you liked winter, you didn’t really feel like going out at all in that weather. Suddenly, you heard a knock at the door. It was soft but continuous. You were slightly worried about who it was. You looked through the peep hole and saw Chanwoo. You quickly opened the door and the first thing that happened was Chanwoo collapsing onto your shoulders. You grabbed him, and felt his temperature was very high. He had a fever that was confirmed. You pushed him gently so he was standing and you cupped his face. It was burning, and his whole face was red like a tomato. He needed to rest, medicine, anything. He was not in a good condition. The cold weather is definitely making it worse. “Chanwoo, here, you can lie down on my bed okay? How is it that you’re always getting hurt? You need to take care of yourself.” You said before you left to get a hot towel. You came back and Chanwoo looked miserable. You smiled and pitied him. You approached Chanwoo who was still lying on your bed, and you took off his jacket. He didn’t want to take it off but you insisted. “You need to take it off, this jacket is freezing. It’ll only make things worse. Here, use these blankets instead.” You said as you passed him a few blankets from under your bed. He wrapped himself with it, and you started to soak the towel in the hot water. You gently pat the towel on his head. He looked so tired, he was going to fall asleep. You can’t have him sleep yet, he needs to take some medicine first. “Have you eaten?” You said trying to initiate a conversation to keep him awake. “No. I didn’t have the time to. We trained the whole day.” Chanwoo complained. “Aww, poor you. You guys seriously need to take a break. But are the other members okay? Or are they sick too?” you asked. “No, they’re fine. I had to sit outside in the cold, as punishment for not dancing so well. I was outside for 30 minutes.” Chanwoo admitted. “WHAT ON EARTH! What is wrong with this guy?! You know what, I think I know who it is now. It’s Hanbin isn’t it?! He’s doing this to you, bossing you around!” You said with a stern tone. “I can’t tell you.” Chanwoo said with his eyes closed. “No, Chanwoo, you tell me right now. It’s Hanbin right? Say it, it’s okay!” You insisted. Chanwoo nodded. You put the towel down and grunted in disbelief. You couldn’t believe Hanbin could do such a thing. He was not what you thought he was. “That bastard..” you said. “I feel like running away. Going somewhere else. Doing something else.” Chanwoo admits. “What? No.” You answered. Chanwoo looked at you with disbelief. He couldnt believe that you were very serious about this. “Chanwoo, you can’t leave. You worked your off to be in iKON, and you will remain there. Hanbin is the one that should change. Not you. You shouldn’t run away. You got to show him that you’re just as tough as he is eventhough you’re much younger.” you advised. Chanwoo just stared blankly into space probably reflecting on what you said. With that, you stood up, and went to the kitchen. You the stove and made some porridge for chanwoo. As you were waiting for the rice to cook in the pot, you checked in on Chanwoo to see that his eyes were closed. He already fell asleep. That moment you really started to pity him, and wondered why he is suffering so much when he is such a good person. After the porridge was cooked, you brought it into the room to serve Chanwoo. You placed the bowl on the table next to your bed, and you gently woke him up. “Chanwoo…Chanwoo, wake up sleepyhead, I made you some porridge.” you said gently. His eyes slowly opened and he smiled. You brought the bowl over and sat next to him. “Can you eat by yourself?” you asked. He didn’t answer, so you assumed that he wanted to be fed. So, you did. You fed him the first spoonful and he seemed to like it a lot. He immediately woke up from his daze. He sat upright, and took the bowl from you and ate by himself. You looked at him and smiled. “Is it good?” you asked. Chanwoo just nodded. “You know, I realised, that you don’t talk much. Who is your bestfriend in iKON?” you asked. “Yunhyung” he said with his mouth full of rice. After he finished his bowl of porridge, you gave him his medicine. “Now, this is to bring down the fever, you’re still burning up. Don’t go out too much, stay indoors as much as you can. The weather outside is just terrible. Make sure to keep yourself hydrated and cover up as much as possible if you really have to go out. Wear more layers Chanwooo! Yesterday when I found you with your injured arm, you only wore 2 layers, I thought you were some homeless crazy man or something.” you nagged. Chanwoo just listened, and didn’t say much. After that, you told him to lie down and rest so the medicine could work properly which he obeyed. You then went out of your room to watch TV. A few hours passed by and suddenly you heard footsteps. Chanwoo had woken up from his nap. He walked towards you and sat next to you on the couch. “Feeling better?” You asked. “Yes.” Chanwoo said. You were still unsure, so you put your hand on his forehead to feel his temperature. It really went down. “Wow, that was fast, you’re better now” you said. Chanwoo smiled and faced his attention towards the TV. “Oh I love this show. It has been a long time since I last had the chance to watch it. We’re always so busy.” Chanwoo said. The two of you started talking about the show and other things as well. You guys talked for a while and he felt like a good friend. You didn’t feel so lonely anymore. After a few hours of laughing and chilling with Chanwoo in front of the TV, Chanwoo said ‘I should get going, the members might be looking for me already.” Chanwoo said. “Chanwoo, where do the boys think you are right now?” you asked. “I told them I was going out. For a walk.” he answered. “I don’t think that is logical though. I mean, you’ve been here for 5 hours, thats a really long walk.” you mentioned. “Its actually pretty normal for a WALK to be this long in our group. Hanbin once said he was going for a walk and didn’t come back after 8 hours. Apparently, he took a cab and went somewhere far to clear his mind. He came back and brought us food. That time, he was still nice to me, but recently, his bullying has gone a bit overboard.” Chanwoo explained. You nodded. Chanwoo got up and looked at you, signalling you to send him off. “Thanks again, (YN). For everything. I really feel comfortable here, I feel safe. Especially with you around, I feel like my life isn’t so bad. It’s like my strength has been replenished.” Chanwoo said to you. “You're welcome. I’m always here for you okay? Just come by whenever. Be strong Chanwoo, you can do this. Don’t run away okay?” You said while helping him wear his coat. “MORE LAYERS CHANWOO!” you said jokingly. Chanwoo just laughed and nodded. You opened the door and he walked out, before you closed it suddenly, Chanwoo said “(YN)..” “Yes?” you answered. You looked at Chanwoo eagerly, curious to know what he wanted to say. It did look like it was something important. “It’s nothing. Thanks again.” he said. “No problem. Be safe!” you said before closing the door. Then you started thinking, what was it that he wanted to say.. it didn’t look like nothing. His face was quite serious.
