Chapter 6 Kyuhyun did not understand what exactly had happened earlier that night. At first, Jongwoon responded to the kiss, but then he pulled back and walked away? Kyuhyun often heard that he was a great kisser, so that couldn’t be the problem. Well, or all the other people lied to him about that, and he, in fact, was horrible at it.   He had expected Donghae to run to him as soon as he walked into the main hall, begging him to tell all the details, but he hadn’t. He hadn’t wait up for Kyuhyun to get home, and even though Kyuhyun was insulted by this at first, he had fallen over Hyukjae’s shoes in the hallway, which explained why Donghae had already gone to bed.   Kyuhyun turned around in his bed and looked at his alarm clock. It was 3:30 AM. He had been tossing around in bed for at least two hours. Too many things were running through his mind, but luckily, as his body started to get exhausted, he eventually managed to fall asleep.     ✭✭✭✭✭     The doorbell rang.   Kyuhyun turned around in his bed and tried to ignore the annoying sound. This was his free day, he needed his free day. It was only 1 in the afternoon, still way too early to get out of bed.   But the person at the front door was not giving up.   Kyuhyun eventually walked downstairs in just his boxers, not caring about how he looked on his free day. Donghae’s and Hyukjae’s shoes were gone, and it indicated that both of them had gone to work. He opened the door, barely awake, but what he saw outside woke him up instantly.   “Jongwoon, are you alright?” Kyuhyun asked worriedly, staring at Jongwoon who was leaning against the doorpost, trying to keep himself standing up. It seemed that he was unable to answer Kyuhyun at that moment, so Kyuhyun helped him into the house.   He cursed himself inside his head for the fact that he had opened the door in just his boxers, but Jongwoon didn’t really seem to care. After Kyuhyun made sure Jongwoon was comfortably lying on the couch, he excused himself for a few seconds to put on some clothes.   When he came back downstairs, Jongwoon was still lying the same way as Kyuhyun had left him; just staring at the ceiling blankly. As Kyuhyun approached him, he could tell that the other was sweating heavily. He felt Jongwoon’s forehead and was shocked by the burning feeling it gave. He ran to the medicine cabinet and took out the thermometer.   “Kyuhyun...” Jongwoon said, before Kyuhyun could stick the thermometer in his mouth.   “It’s just a thermometer, I think you have a fever.”   “Were you sick last night?”   It took Jongwoon a lot of effort to ask this question.   “Ehm... I was sick 2 days ago... Why?”   Jongwoon didn’t answer. Either he had no more strength to do so, or he just didn’t know what to answer. He just stared helplessly at the ceiling and allowed Kyuhyun to measure his temperature. 41.1. This was much higher than Kyuhyun’s fever 2 days ago. Kyuhyun started to panic. His mom had always told him that when someone’s temperature reaches higher than 41 degrees, this person was in deep trouble.   He got a cup of water and tried to make Jongwoon drink some of it; when someone has a fever, water is very important. Jongwoon only took one sip before giving up on drinking. Next, Kyuhyun got a towel, drenched it in cold water and laid it on Jongwoon’s forehead, hoping that that would cool him down somehow.   “Hyukjae...” Jongwoon managed to mumble.   “Hyukjae?”   Kyuhyun didn’t know what to do with this ‘information’.   “Do you want me to call him?”   Jongwoon nodded, and Kyuhyun felt stupid that he didn’t think about this earlier. He needed help. Though, he actually felt like calling his mom, but Jongwoon asked for Hyukjae, so Hyukjae it was.   He dialed Hyukjae’s phone number. Hyukjae answered at the first ring.   “Hello?”   “Hyukjae-ah. It’s Kyuhyun.”   “Ah, Kyuhyun! I am kind of busy right now, can you call me back later?”   “Jongwoon is sick.”   “… Jongwoon is sick?” There was a slight hesitance before Hyukjae repeated what Kyuhyun had just said.   “I didn’t know what to do, but Jongwoon said your name.”   “Jongwoon is sick?” Hyukjae repeated, his tone of voice starting to change. Kyuhyun noticed a slight panic in his voice.   “Ehm yeah, and I didn’t know wha–“   “How
