LATER:

“The rain is stopping, thank god” Byul said looking outside
“You can stay over if you want” Mingyu said sitting with her on the bench and watched at the rain fall

Mingyu could feel his body get hot with the fever

*I’m okay, I’m okay*

“It’s okay…I don’t want to trouble you” she smiled

“You don’t trust me?” Mingyu asked smirking at her

“Give it up” Byul said calmly making Mingyu laugh

“I thought you were a cold Kingka” Byul said looking at him as Mingyu looked back
“So I’m not?” he asked as Byul nodded and turned away

“You are perfectly fine” she smiled as Mingyu stared at her

*Knock it off Kim Mingyu* he thought

“I hope you are not sensitive to cold? I know there are some people who are really sensitive to it” Byul said as Mingyu shook his head

“I am not” he said as Byul looked hard at him as he awkwardly looked back

“Bwo?” he asked as Byul touched his forehead

“I knew it” she sighed

“You have fever and you are pretending to be okay?” she asked worriedly

“I-I don’t—” Mingyu said as Byul stood up and looked at him

“Kajja” she said

“Where?” Mingyu asked

“To the room, of course, you need to rest” she said as Mingyu smiled

“I’m alright” he said in a low voice as Byul grabbed his arm

“Let me repay you then” she smiled as Mingyu stared at her

Byul helped Mingyu walk to his bed and fixed his blanket

“Take good rest, if you need anything, I’ll be right here” Byul said as Mingyu looked at her

“Wae?” he asked

“Did you answer me when I asked you that earlier?” she asked as Mingyu laughed a bit

“Aish” he chuckled when his phone rang

“oh WonWoo” he answered as Byul looked away awkwardly

“Neh I’m at home” Mingyu said as Byul walked out of the room

“Um…sure…neh” Mingyu said hanging up and sighed

*Mianhae Byul, if this makes you uncomfortable*

A few moments later Byul walked in with a bowl of hot water and a towel

“They say if we use warm water it lowers the fever” she smiled as Mingyu looked at her

“I’m sorry for troubling you…it’s already late and—” he said closing his eyes and in a weak voice

“You expect me to leave you alone in such a condition?” she said as Mingyu smiled
“Geuamawo” he said as Byul rolled her eyes playfully

“Pabo” she smiled

“Do you live alone?” Mingyu asked as Byul shook her head

“With my haraboji” she smiled as Mingyu nodded

“And you?” Byul asked as Mingyu looked at her

“Why do you wanna know?” he asked

“Well…since you asked me so I’m—”

“They’re in the States” Mingyu said as Byul nodded

“Ah~” she nodded

The two had been talking for some time when the doorbell rang

“Is someone supposed to come?” Byul asked as Mingyu shook his head

“I’ll get it” she smiled running to the main door

“Neh?” she opened the door smiling a bit when

“W-WonWoo?” she muttered.
