RECAP:

I slammed the car door closed. I leaned back in my seat and closed my eyes. What was going on?

Your POV

My eyes slowly opened. I winced as the bright light blinded my eyes. My body still felt a bit weak and my head was kind of spinning. But the first thing that had popped into my mind was Jonghyun's face. I remembered it was him who had brought me into the house last night. I only remembered some parts of what had happened yesterday, but I couldn't help but smile at how thoughtful he was.

FLASHBACKS

“How about now, noona? Are you still cold?” I remembered Jonghyun asking.

“Let’s go to the hospital,” He said, putting his arms around my waist and under my legs.

“We have to go, noona,” He softly said.

“Yes, ~~~~ noona. I’m here,” He said.

“Yes. You what?” He asked, fixing the towel on my forehead.

“We have to generate body heat so you can get warmed up,” He stated, as he pulled me close to his warm body.

“Better?” He whispered.

END OF FLASHBACK

I lightly shivered at the embarrassing thought, but couldn’t bring myself to do anything else. I didn't feel as cold as yesterday, but I still didn't feel right. I looked around the room to see if he was still here, but he was nowhere in sight. Maybe he left already. I weakly touched my forehead. I think I still have a fever. But I had to get up. I had work today. I slowly pushed the covers off of myself and struggled to get up. I sighed and closed my eyes, trying to prevent myself from falling back onto the bed from the dizziness. I slowly stood up, but my legs gave in and I fell onto the ground, knocking the lamp over. Oh no.

Kim Jonghyun's POV

For the whole night, I watched over ~~~~. After holding onto her for at least two hours, her body temperature rose up again. As much as I had to admit, I didn't want to let go of her. But I had to change her cold towel. I gently let go of her, not wanting to wake her up. I went to blow dry my clothes before I got a cold too. Throughout the night, I would change her towel from time to time, help her fix her blanket when shoved it away, and would check on her fever once every hour.

It was finally morning and I was now in the kitchen, cooking some porridge for her. I had just finished putting the porridge into a bowel when I heard something crash upstairs. My head snapped up and my eyes widened. My legs automatically took me up the stairs to ~~~~'s room. What was going on?!

I burst into the room. My eyes widened again. She was on the floor, trying to get up. "~~~~!" I shouted, quickly running over to her. I easily picked her up, bridal style and placed her back onto the bed.
"Where do you think you're going?" I asked, pulling the covers over her. "I have to go to work," She croaked.
I shook my head. "No, you're not," I demanded, touching her forehead. "You still have a fever," I stated. "Don't worry and rest," I assured. "But-," She started, but I stopped her. "I'll call hyungs for you," I nodded.
She sighed. I patted her shoulder. "Just get some rest," I said. She sighed and weakly pushed me away. "I know you have a schedule. Go," She urged, letting out a soft cough.
I smiled and shook my head. "I don't have any schedules today," I said. I lied. I actually did have schedules today, but I asked Key to canceled them for me. I couldn't just leave her here by herself.
"But-," She started again, but I cut her off again. "Stop talking and just get some sleep," I said.
She shook her head. "Then go home and change," She whispered. I shook my head. "I'm fine," I said, standing up. "See?" I spun a circle for her.
She let out a small chuckle but started to go into a coughing fit. I panicked and sat back down. "Okay, no more funniness," I said, pulling the covers up.
She gave me a soft smile. "Thank you so much, Jonghyun," She huskily muttered.
I rubbed the back of my neck, with a slightly red face. "N-Nah. It's nothing," I said. She shook her head and suddenly patted my hand. "If you weren't here, no one would have noticed me," She sadly said.
I softened. "How could you have forgotten your keys?" I asked. "I almost had a heart attack when I found you on the ground," I said.
She gently grinned. "That's why I'm super thankful to have you as a friend," She said, slowly got up. "What are you-," I was going to push her back onto the bed, but I was taken aback when she gave me a weak, but heart fluttering hug. I stopped and my eyes enlarged.
"Thank you so much, Jonghyun," She said. "Thank you," She repeated. I softened again and hugged her back. "I'll always be here if you need me," I whispered.

I didn't know why, but those words came out naturally.

END OF POV

Your POV

I was surprised that Jonghyun just easily picked me up and carried me back to bed, but I couldn't help but feel the warmth in his heart.

When he told me he had no schedule, I knew he was lying. How could SHINee not have a schedule? I felt apologetic but thankful at the same time to have met a friend as nice as him.

I gave him a small smile. "Thank you so much, Jonghyun," I said.
He embarrassingly rubbed the back of his neck. "N-Nah. It's nothing," He said. I shook my head and patted his hand. "If you weren't here, no one would have noticed me," I said.
His eyes softened. "How could you have forgotten your keys?" He softly asked me. "I almost had a heart attack when I found you on the ground," He stated.
I grinned. "That's why I'm super thankful to have you as a friend," I said, slowly got up. "What are you-," He started, but he shut up when I gave him a hug.
"Thank you so much, Jonghyun," I said. "Thank you," I repeated.
He hugged me back. "I'll always be here if you need me," He said. I closed my eyes and smiled. I actually believed that.
