My hand went to the door’s frame, and I grabbed it with as much strength as I could in order to maintain my balance.

-Minhyuk, what’s wrong? –Eunkwang asked – you’re white as a sheet.

I swallowed, my whole world was spinning and seemed as if it was about to collapse.

-Oh, … - Ilhoon said under his breath.

-Minhyuk… - Eunkwang started.

With all the built up courage I had left I forced myself to walk to her room, I wasn’t sure about what I was about to see there, nor if I wanted to see it.

It sure wasn’t what I expected.

-Ha…Ha In – I muttered.

All I could see of her was a curled up form under the covers.

-Ha In-ah – I called a little bit stronger.

I could hear her whispering things under her breath, I walked towards the bed and kneeled next to her, she kept muttering in her sleep, and she wasn’t making any sense.

I had heard her sleep talking and it was nothing like this.

-Ha In-ah – I moved my hand to touch her face and I froze.

She was burning, all her skin was covered in cold sweat and now I could feel her trembling.

-, oh no, no, no, no – was all I could say.

-Hyung what’s going on? –Peniel asked, he was on the other side of the bed.

-She has a fever, very, very high fever – I said, removing the covers, she curled up even more, her shivering more obvious.

-Wait what are you…? – he started.

-I’m taking her to the bath, we need to put this down – I answered, I took her on my arms and carried her to the bathroom.

I was aware of the guys staring at me as if I was crazy, I just chose to ignore them.

I laid Ha In on her bathtub and the tap. The water started covering her.

-Ha In-ah, come on wake up – I whispered, caressing softly her cheek – jagiya, open your eyes.

Slowly, Ha In scrunched her face and then opened her eyes, she didn’t look too lucid yet.

-Minhyuk-ah? – she said with sleepy voice .

-Yes, yes it’s me – I told her – hi there.

-Minhyuk-ah? – she said once again – is it really you? You’re not leaving, are you?

I furrowed my brows.

-I think she’s raving –Peniel said, he was kneeling next to me.

I sighed, and leaned my forehead on the tub.

After a while, I heard Peniel say:

-I’m going to tell the guys what’s going on – I nodded.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The guys decided to go back home, entrusting me with Ha In’s care, she was still on the tub, but her fever was going down, I kept caressing her cheek and calling her, until she finally did open her eyes.

-Minhyuk? – she furrowed her brows – what are you…? Why am I on the bathtub?

She half raised her arms and eyed her drenched clothes.

-You were having a very high fever, and you were raving…I panicked and I thought the quickest way to put it down was to get you in here and…

-Oh God I’m dreaming am I not? – she inquired.

-What? No! Of course not! – I answered.

-Yes I am, you can’t be here – she replied – you are in Japan.

-Ha In, I came back today, remember?, I was meant to come back today – I explained amused.

She gave me a calculating look.

-Wait…What day was it again?

I laughed.

-You’re an idiot – I told her.

She glared at me.

-How are you feeling?  - I asked.

-Better I guess – she answered – my head doesn’t hurt as much…But I’m cold.

I chuckled.

-It’s time to get you out of here – I told her.

I took a towel and helped her stand up, wrapping it around her, before taking her in my arms once again and carrying her back to her bed.

-Wait a moment, I will bring you some dry clothes – I said, and hurried to her closet – ok here you have, you don’t need help with those right?

I gave her a little smirk.

She looked at me and scowled.

-Get out of here you ert! – she said, pushing me.

I went out chuckling and walked to the living room, my heart dropped upon seeing the jacket once again.

I leaned on the door frame, and closed my eyes, I didn’t know how I was meant to handle that, I knew I was probably making a big thing out of this, but still…

-Minhyuk-ah? – I heard her call.

I hurried to her room.

-Hi there! – she smiled from her bed.

I couldn’t help but smile when I saw her, I couldn’t bring myself to be worried when I was with her.

-Are you alright? – she asked.

-That’s my line, you know? – I told her, getting in bed next to her, I put my arm around her and sighed in contempt when she leaned her head on my shoulder and curled next to me.

-I am fine, I’m feeling so much better now that you are with me – she told me.

In the position we were I couldn’t look at her face, but she sounded somewhat emotional. I hugged her even tighter, and buried my face on her hair, it was still damp, but it smelled the same way it had always had, it felt like home.

-I’ve missed you too – I told her – these days have been so long without you.

-Didn’t you have fun? – she asked.

I shrugged, tracing random shapes on her back.

Chapter 18: I can't believe that they aren't stalked around by fans in Japan. Guess they aren't that famous yet xD
The fluff is nice and all but maybe the pace of the story could be faster? I keep wanting their relationship to be disclosed! (Considering how I keep bringing this up every single time I comment hahaha)
I can totally relate to Ha In's thoughts... I'm not even at the university level and yet I keep questioning the reason behind me studying. I don't enjoy it. But I do it out of expectations and pressure I guess? Since it's the social norm to study hard and enter university. But life feels mechanical and dull... Your story is like the little highlight in my life that makes my mundane life a little easier to endure :3

Chapter 18: People need to know how amazing of an author you are, and it's really unfortunate that your story doesn't have more recognition. If there is anything i could do to help get this story featured i would !
(Wow this is the longest review i've ever writed i even had to cut it to post it ...sorry if it was boring ^^')

Chapter 18:  I am just in 11th grade (i think that's what it's called, it's a year prior the last year of high school) and i knew that i could no longer continue the same way, i was just doing things, studying, pushing myself and my health past it's limits until i tired myself, this is no longer what i want to do, i need a complete change of that routine, something different to do that i would enjoy and i still didn't find it. So when i read what Ha In said in that particular part i just felt like it was the last thing needed for me to really feel a string connecting me to your character and this is not in anyway a bad thing in the contrary i haven't felt this bounded to a fictional character in a long time and i felt the urge to tell you that.
Sorry for the ranting of my personal life that i guess you didn't need to know but i wanted to express what i felt throughout your story and also to apologize for not commenting for a while even though i know that some people would say that it's not necessary to comment in every sing chapter even when you read a few chapters at the same time, but with everything i said before, i just feel like, the least i can do is to let you know how much of a good story you're writing. I cannot upvote more than once unfortunately so leaving comments is the only thing i can do.

Chapter 18: And i applaud you for that authornim because making one going through deep emotions just by reading a story is an amazing thing to do !
But that is something that, like i said,started since the very first chapter-even since Falling for an Idol, so what really made this particular chapter hit me with the feels and pushed me to comment after a while was when Ha In said that she was dropping out of university.
It's been a few months now that i dropped out school because of health problems. Things happened and i felt like i was drowning. I went through a really hard time because of that. I felt well enough after sometime and i could finally be able to gather some of my thoughts that were blocked by all the routine, the pressure and need to get a good degree and going to a good university.

Chapter 18: Hello !
I know it's been a long time that i haven't commented even when i still read every new update, i just couldn't bring myself to type anything, but after reading this chapter it just felt like i had to comment.
From the very beginning of your story, it always felt like i could relate to your main character. It felt like what she did was probably what i would've done if i was to be put in the same situation. Through your writing, you portrayed the emotions, the characters and the situations so well that i had shivers just by reading your chapters. You made blush and feel butterflies in my stomach with those fluffy moments. You made me laugh. You made me happy when they were. You made me cry, my heart clenching whenever they were in pain.
