"I hit the perfect score on my research!" Jiyeon showed the two boys her work.

Both Keita and Doyoung clapped their hands for Jiyeon. "Of course, Yedam also did. The teacher gave me his work~ hehe."

"Too bad he wasn't able to go to school today." Keita said, looking at Yedam's research. "Oh, what happened to him, by the way?"

"He's sick.. didn't he text you?" Doyoung asked.

Jiyeon grabbed her phone from her pocket and saw Yedam's messages to her. "Oh... I didn't check my phone today.."

"Guess I won't be coming home right away." She shrugged.

"Where will you go, noona?"

"Yedam."

Doyoung and Keita looked at each other. Both have cheeky smiles on their faces. "I'll give him his research."

"Psh."

After the classes were dismissed, Jiyeon ran out of the classroom right away, leaving Doyoung and Keita behind. She looked for Junkyu whom she saw putting books inside his locker.

"Junkyu!"

"Hi Jiyeon!" Jihoon greeted.

"Hi~." She smiled. "Junkyu, I won't come home with you today."

Junkyu looked at her, with furrowed eye brows. "I'll be going to Yedam's house." She smiled.

"You'll take care of him?" Jihoon asked. She just nodded her head. "Okay, but go home before 7."

Jiyeon smiled and nodded multiple times. "Yes, yes. I might go home earlier than that.. I don't know. Okay bye!" She started walking away.

Jihoon turned to Junkyu who's still looking at her sister walking away. "Now, what have Yedam done to Jiyeon?"

"Can't believe she's that stubborn girl before." His koala smile formed to his lips.

After pressing the doorbell for the second time, the door finally opened revealing a beautiful woman. "Oh, hi! You must be...?"

"Good Afternoon, I am Kim Jiyeon." She bowed at Yedam's mother and smiled. "You came for him? Come in." The mother welcomed and let her come inside.

"You can go up to his room, now. I'll prepare your food and his medicine." Jiyeon nodded and started walking up the stairs on the way to Yedam's room.

She knocked three times. "Yedam?"

No answer. "He must be asleep.." she opened the door slowly and peeked first. She's right. He's asleep. She carefully entered the room and a cat welcomed her. "Awwee, annyeong, Nini-ya~" she whispered.

She made her way in front of Yedam. She slightly bowed to have a closer look of his sleeping face and to touch his forehead as well.

"Oh my, you're hot."

"I am?" A smirk formed in his lips and he slowly opened his eyes.

"You're awake.. t-that's not what I meant!" She pouted.

Yedam sat and leaned to his headboard. "Why are you here?"

"I'm kinda worried~"

He sighed. "I don't want you to get sick too." He ran his fingers through his hair.

Stop doing that. She thought and took her bag off her shoulders.

"How are you feeling?" She sat beside him. "Hungry." He slightly laughed. It made her smile. "I'll go down the kitchen for a while... I'll bring you your food." She stood up and attempted to go out of his room but he caught her wrist ang it made her look backat him. "What?"

"stay here.."

"Eh... no. I'll get your food for you." She smiled as she took off Yedam's hand around her wrist. She went out his room and went down to the kitchen to get his food.

Yedam released a sigh.

-

"So you are that girl he talks about a lot." The mother said with a smile attached to her face. "I'm glad I'm meeting you now."

"He.. talks about me?"

"Yeah, and you look exactly like the way he describes you to us. And how beautiful you are!"

"Ah." She looked down, feeling shy.

"Here." The mother handed Jiyeon a tray with two bowls of soup, two glasses of water, utensils and Yedam's medicine. "Thank you" Jiyeon smiled at her.

"Oh, Jiyeon..."

"Ne?"

"Don't be surprised about Yedam's behavior today... he can be extra clingy when he's sick"

-

"Yedam, please open the door for me..."

Yedam tried his best to stand up so he can open the door. "Aaah, that must be heavy, why did you- ow! My head.."

"It's okay." She walked in and placed the tray on his table. "Sit down. I'll feed you. Your head might hurt more.." she ordered. Yedam did what she said since he have no choice because his head hurts so bad.

She sat on Yedam's computer chair.

"What did you even do that made you sick?"

"Hehe, I went out the house without an umbrella last night and you know it was raining so bad.."

She gave him a glare. "Tsk."

As she fed him, she was talking about her day in school. "Oh, we both got a perfect score in our research!" She pointed out the paperworks. "You owe me a cone of ice cream."

He chuckled. "You did well."

He finished his soup right away and took his medicine. "I'll eat now."

"Don't sit there." Jiyeon looked at Yedam before she could even have hr first taste of his mother's soup. "What?"

"Sit here." He patted an area beside him twice.

"I'm good sitting here."

"Just sit beside me."

She pouted. Looks like Yedam wins this time. She sat beside Yedam and leaned on his headboard. She continued to feed herself while she could see Yedam looking at her on her peripheral vision. "Your mom cooks delicious." She said after finishing a whole bowl of soup.

She reached out for the glass of water to drink.

As soon as she looked back at Yedam, she saw his arms open wide. "What's that for?"

"Hug me."

"Don't be surprised about Yedam's behavior today.. he can be extra clingy when he's sick."
She remembered his mother's words.

So she gave Yedam a quick hug.

"Nooooo...." Yedam pouted as soon as she let go of the hug. Yedam leaned to her and hugged her, his head on her right shoulder.

"You told me you don't want me to get sick."

"You insisted to come here.. and you make me feel better, though."

"Arasso, arasso. Get well, Damdam." She played with Yedam's hair and soon, a smile formed in to Yedam's lips.
