Leeteuk's POV
My head hurts, I nod at Heechul who is standing at the doorway, telling me he is going out and won't be back until tomorrow afternoon. I almost ask him where is he going but I stop because although we are married, it's in name only. We are not even friends, more like acquaintance or tenant and house owner, but then again I am not paying him rent. Maybe I should, now that I have a job.
I lay on the bed, when Heechul walks out of the door without looking back, few seconds pass and I hear the main door shut. My vision is blurry and I rub my eyes to look clearly, I have to study, I have missed too much of that. I sit up and my whole world spins.
My phone rings and I force myself to pick it up and look, it's a message from our professors that there would be no lectures tomorrow.
I sigh, it's good that there are no lectures, I need to rest so that I can go to my job. I stand, determined to get to the study table, but my legs are wobbly and I fall back on the bed.
I think I should just sleep, I am not feeling too well right now.

I wake up shivering from cold, my throat is dry, my nose is blocked and I can't breathe, I try to walk to the kitchen to get a glass of water but I can't walk steadily, it's as if my legs have no bones. Somehow I make it to the kitchen, I drink some water when my phone rings again, It's a call from Yunho.
"Heyy Teuk, where are you? The work starts in 30 minutes" Yunho says on the other end. I look at my phone in shock and notice the time.
"Huh? I- shit I-" I try to form words but my head is still hurting, and I had to stop for a moment before I say something.
"I'll be there soon." I tell him and end the call. I hurry to get ready, all the while my head hurts and my vision keeps getting blurry.

I reach the cafe just in time, Yunho slips an arm around my neck, "Took you long enough." He says and I laugh which makes my head hurt even more.
Siwon, our manager comes forward and tells us our work, Yunho is in charge of taking orders and I am in charge of cleaning tables and moping floors. It's a tiring job but at least I won't have to interact with anyone.
I somehow manage to do the job, I probably worked for an hour when the mop just slips through my hand, I look down to pick it up when my world spins and I am down on the floor together with the mop. Ew gross.
I try to get a grip on myself when I hear some shuffling noises and Yunho is now beside me, he is patting my cheeks, saying something and I open my eyes and can see two of him, I blink a few times, trying to drive the dizziness away.
Yunho picks me up and I hear Siwon saying, "Take him home. He has high fever. Tell him to get some rest-"
After that everything is a blur.

This time when I wake up, I feel a bit better, my head still hurts a bit but not that much. I take in my surrounding and notice that I am back to my apartment. The question is How?
It takes me a few minute to recall what happened, I was at work, then I fainted, Yunho carried me, then he were sitting in a taxi, Yunho asked for my address, and I told him. Then I remember leaning onto him as we entered the house.
I panic at the thought that I let someone in Heechul's house without telling him.
I try to collect my thoughts while I walk out of my room and into the living room, I look at the clock and it's 9:33 pm right now. Then I hear some noise behind me. What I see makes me feel like panicking , Yunho is standing in the Kitchen with Heechul. Both of them talking about something.
I take a step towards them, "Hey."
Yunho notices me, then takes two big strides and envelops me into a huge hug, "Are you okay now? You scared me!"
I see Heechul standing behind the counter looking at me with a frown on his face, I pull away from Yunho and try to smile, "I am sorry, Yunho. I bothered you."
He sighs and then hits my arm, "Don't apologize you idiot."
I chuckle and then walk towards Heechul, who is looking at me, when I am at arms length away he says, "How are you feeling?"
"I am fine now. I still have headache but not much." I tell him. Yunho comes towards me and drapes his arm around me which makes me feel guilty for no reason, I avert my gaze from Heechul's eyes and something caught my eyes. There are some red marks on his neck.
Hickeys, my brain tells me. My heart aches and I turn to face Yunho who is standing there looking between me and Heechul, I ask, "Are you going to stay for dinner?"
Yunho shakes his head like a puppy, and replies, "No I can't. I have to go back home and finish my assignments. Sorry."
I smile, "No need for sorry. I should thank you for helping me and carrying me here."
Yunho smiled back, "Seriously no need for thank you. If you feel bad how about you treat me to coffee some time?" He says in a joking way.
"Yeah sure. I'll buy you coffee and lunch." I laugh.
Yunho hugs me again and this time his tone is serious, "Don't scare me like that." I sigh against his shoulder and then nod. He pulls away and says, "Now I should get going. Bye Heechul, Bye Teukie~"
I glance at Heechul who nods in response. Then I say, "I'll walk you to the door."
We were almost at the door, I wanted to ask what Yunho and Heechul were talking about? Does Yunho know about my situation?
Should I ask? But would I ask? Do you know about my abusive father and how I am technically married to Heechul?
I was pulled out of my thoughts when Yunho says, "Heechul is such a good friend. Letting you stay at such an amazing place with low rent."
Oh.
I nod, "Yeah. I feel grateful to him. I was in need of a place and Heechul offered."
Yunho hums in agreement. A pause later he says, "Well now then I should go or else my professor is going to kill me tomorrow. Bye Teukie. Take care. Eat medicine and gets lots of rest."
"I will. You also take care. Bye" I tell him.

Rei's Note:Okay I don't know if I mentioned this before but Yunho goes to different college okay? If I mentioned before they go to same college, that's a mistake so forget it please. (and tell me where so that I can correct it.)
Also This chapter is unedited, I am writing this while doing tons of assignment, so forgive me if it doesn't make much sense.
