As Lisa had thought, Detective Conan was entertaining.

Jungkook had stayed quiet beside her all along. Assuming that he was watching with her, Lisa thought nothing of it.

After around five episodes, she shifted her body a little since she was starting to feel sore when she felt a sinking sensation over her shoulder.

Jungkook's head had simply dropped very naturally using her shoulder as a pillow.

Lisa shoved him. "Get up, Jungkook"

The trick again? Clingy.

"Get up!"

Jungkook fidgeted a little, and said very quietly, "It hurts...."

"...."

The same trick again!

Irritated, Lisa pushed him away and he simply dropped sideways, as if having lost all strength.

Sensing that something wasn't right, she went up to touch him, and only realized then that he was frighteningly warm, and his forehead was even hotter when she put the back of her hand on it.

His eyes were tightly shut and his cheeks all red, his breathes rush and even scalding.

"Wake up, Jungkook"

Lisa was now absolutely horrified, with her heart tightening at the same time.

His fever would not recede quickly if she used some cold object to physically lower his temperature.

What would happen if the fever fries his brain? The Jeon family would become a laughing stock.

Lisa shivered, her hair standing on end when she imagined Jungkook turning into a handicap child playing mud with her little one.

Without further ado, she soaked towel in cold water and covered it over his forehead, and changed into fresh clothes before going downstairs to the lobby.

After some asking, the front desk informed her that the nearest pharmacy was at least one kilometer away.

Lisa went upstairs to search for Jungkook's car keys but couldn't find it. She hence resorted to borrowing an umbrella from the front desk and travel on foot.

Cold winds were shrieking and pulling her umbrella. Hardly able to move forward, Lisa wanted very much to retreat.

Still, she did not want Jungkook to be reduced to a loony, chasing after her every day and calling her mommy....

Just in case, she even bought every single antipyretic available.

After the long and difficult trip, Lisa returned to the hotel completely soaked, with her sticking over her neck her bangs was little messy. Her clothes were also dripping with rainwater, hugging her body and accentuating her curvaceous figure.

She quickly returned to her room after returning the umbrella, and jumped in shock when the door was opened.

Jungkook was sitting up while leaning just beside the doorway feebly. His huge body was curled up, leaving the doorway rather narrow.

He slowly locked up beneath the yellow corridor lights, his eyes becoming distant and watery the moment he saw Lisa.

His face was unnaturally crimson, and he looked at once pitiful, helpless and especially lonely as the lights illuminated him.

After staring blankly for a moment Lisa rushed to him, "Why are you here?"

"I'm afraid that you would leave me...." Jungkook's voice was quiet, sad and no different from an abandoned child. There were even red circles over his eyes.
