6:00 a.m. Seoul

She skipped her way to school
enjoying the quiet morning along with her freshly baked bagel. Fogged sky and a chilly atmosphere.

She had arrived at school and made her way into her class. She sat at her desk plugging her earbuds and pulled out her homework which is due today.

Silence was the only thing that could be heard in the classroom. As 30 minutes went by,

another presence can be felt in the room which caught her off guard. She turned her head to the side to see the guy with his head down on his table. "Gyu? You came early."
She dragged her chair next to him while saying so.

He muffled an answer which she can't quite hear making her nudged his shoulder in hoping he would repeat what he just said more clear. "I thought I overslept." He sighed. "School starts at 7 remember?" "I know." She nodded at his answer moving her hand onto his table.

"I need to get my nails done.." mumbled the girl to herself. Beomgyu finally woke up from which she supposed his nap and fixed his hair. He looked a little different than usual. "Hey Gyu." She called out. "Hm?" He hums as a response to her calling looking at the girl waiting what she's about to say.

As she placed her hand on his forehead, he tilted his head in confusion. "What are you doing?"
"You're burning." She sighed removing her hand and placed it back on the table. Students started to pack the class slowly by slowly. As time passed.

"I am? No wonder I feel lightheaded." "Really? Then why did you come to school?" She asked him looking a bit disappointed. "Eh I thought it was just a feeling. That's why." He confessed. "Bro- are you being serious right now?" The girl interrogated messaging her nose bridge.

"Let's go back to my house." She starts packing her stuff. He stared at her looking very confused when she walked out the class. "Are you coming?" She questioned peeking her head in the room. "How about school?" He tilted his head. "If you faint or anything just know I won't be responsible for it."

She glared at him. "Okay, okay geez." He shrugged off the girls look. He walked out the class making students glance at him.

He followed her as she starts walking towards the exit door. None of them talked during the walk home and didn't try to break the silence. It was not an awkward silence but a comforting one.

"Are you wearing the ring I bought you?" He tried to look at her hands. "Yeah. You?" She answered stealing a glance at the guy. "Me too.". She nodded before letting silence do its job.

As they arrived at her house she greeted the boy in the house and leads him to the living room.

She took his temperature before leaving him in the room to rest.
"How are you feeling?" She asked while squeezing the water out of the small blue cloth. "Fine." He answered whilst admiring the girl.

She walked over to him with the cloth placing it on his forehead. "That should do it." She clasped her hand together. "Are you cold?" "A little." He answered. "I'll get you a blanket." She walked away from the guy before returning back a couple of minutes later with a blanket.

She covered him with the blanket before sitting Infront of the exhausted looking figure ."I'll be here if you need me." She patted his head before sitting back at the sofa.
