His arms wrapped tightly around her body from behind. His hot breath hit the back of her neck; smelling her sweet scent.
“Are you alright? Where’s hurt?”, Chen sat up; placing his palm on her forehead. His eyes widened. Her forehead was warmer than usual. “Yoojin-ah, you catch cold!”.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine! It’ll get better after I sleep”, she smiled weakly at him; pilled the blanket up.
“Aish”, he get up; but stopped when Yoojin grabbed his arms.
“I’m fine”.
“NO! Stay here, I’ll get you medicine”, he pulled away and looked at the clock. 10PM. He’ve sleep for 5 hours. “Wait!”.

“Ah. It’s right. You are here, oppa. Let’s go to sleep!”, she held Chen’s hand.
“But, Yoojin-“, he looked at his back, watching the weak Yoojin.
“She’s alright, right? I just visited her while ago”
“She have a fever”.
“Just grab a wet towel, oppa. She’ll be fine after”.
“I need to take care of her, Krystal”, he caressed her hair.
“But you promise me you’ll take care of me too, oppa!”, her voice higher, showed her annoyance.
Chen sighed loudly and closed his eyes; trying to figured what he would do.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his temper.
“Oppa. Let her be. She’s healthy. And I’m-“

For God’s sake, please don’t be this childish!”, he explode; raised his voice. He was panting from his long monologue.
Krystal looked at him in shock. How did he do that to her? How can he say that to her?
“O-Oppa...”, her eyes went teary, her voice shaking.
