Forever and Always
Everyone was seated at the dining table except for Aira, the food is already served.
“Where’s Aira?” Baek Hyun asks
“She said to eat on without her; she already ate the porridge earlier.” one of the maids answered
“Shouldn’t we eat with her?” D.O asks
“If she say it’s fine; then it’s fine.” Sehun muttered
“Well… I guess.” Suho shrugs
They started eating and it was quiet since they were actually quite hungry. The maids just watched by the side and it made Sehun feels guilty and uncomfortable.
“Aren’t you guys eating?” Sehun asks them
“We shall eat after the master and guest is done.” she smiles appreciatively
“Who not eat down with us?”
“It’s always been like this, we can’t eat with the master or guest.”
“Why not? Aira won’t give you?” Sehun frowns deeply at the thought
“No, Ms.Aira always invite us to eat with her but it’s not nice for maids to eat with master; we’re used to it and we’re all fine with the ways.” she assures him
“Oh, okay then.” he nods “Where’s the bathroom?”
“From here; to the right, just around the corner.”
“Thank you.” Sehun got up and saw Aira walking towards the stairs slowly; her grip on the rail of the stairs was tight
She walks a few steps but then caught her feet as she didn’t have enough energy to lift it up. Sehun ran towards her and lifted her face to see her pale face.
“Oppa…” she whispered
“Where are you going?” he asks as his brows knitted together
“To my room.” she winced. He slips his arm under her knees and back; he lifted her up and walks up to her room “The bed.” she pointed and Sehun followed which was weird when he didn’t protest. Aira took the bottle of water on the side table and ate down the pill
“You have fever.” Sehun touches her neck and forehead
“As if I didn’t know.” she chuckles lightly
“Did you see the doctor?” he asks
“There’s no need for that, I already have the medicine.” she motions towards the pills. Aira coughs and pulled up the blanket as she wraps herself in it “God it’s so cold.” she muttered and closes her eyes
“You’re sick, why let us enter?” he bluntly asks
“You can’t just chase your guests away; that’s rude isn’t it?” she answers with her eyes still closed “Besides, it’s not always I can force you to come here now can’t I?” she forced a smile; she was in a sitting position and he was sitting at the side of the bed next to her “Can I just…” she reaches out for his hand and held them both tightly “You’re so warm.” she smiled to herself; Sehun didn’t know whether to push her away or not making a single movement. He saw the band aid wrapped around her finger and looks up at her pale face
“Go to sleep.” Sehun got up
“W-where are you going?” her eyes shot open
“Home.” he curtly replies
“So soon?”
“You’re sick, we shouldn’t even be here.” he replies without looking and closes the door after leaving the room
“Oppa…” she croaked
