As soon as they entered the infimary they were welcomed by an skeleton for human anatomy,not the teacher in charge of it. Taehyung sat across Haesoo as she settled down on a chair with fast aidkit in her small hand. Haesoo was clearly agitated by the situation and somehow both attempted not to make any eye contact with eachther which made the tension in the room more palpable.

Already the period was over and they could hear the other students on the track getting ready for the PE.

Haesoo tried to reach the injured hand of Taehyung but she didn't want to touch him without his consent. "May I?" she muffled as she slouched in her seat and peered him from below his eye level. As much as he hated being seen in this condition,he didn't dislike it not much as he thought he would considering it was Haesoo who was treating his wound.

He nodded. "You know I can treat my own wound" Taehyungfinally spoke up to break the silence.

"Don't be silly" Haesoo immerged his hand in a bowl of cold water which she prepared as soon as she came here.

They both retreated back to awkward silence as Haesoo held Taehyung's wrist above the bowl and inspected his big hands in hers. She wondered how hands could get this big and why was her's so small. But her eyes drifted back to the burn and she felt her eyes prick with tear and she choked up. She couldn't believe she put someone in such position to get hurt becauseof her. She really appreciated that he noticed her feeling uncomfortable and saved her from the accident but she never wanted anyone to get hurt.

On the other hand Taehyung didn't regret undergoing to move Haesoo away from hazard, even if he had to get more than first degree burns he would have done the same thing for anyone. Or just for Haesoo.

After a while she dry off his hand with a white small towel and put the bottle of the disinfectant on the table and pour little about of it on a small cotton. Again Haesoo took his hand in hers tenderly,looking everywhere but him. Contrarily Taehyung was following her every move and truth be told he found himself relaxing in mid of all of this.

He hissed at the sudden contact of the antibiotic on his burn. Although he was following her every move. He was thinking nothing but to go home and sleep in her arms. If given the permission,he would have laid off right there and if possible cuddling Haesoo.

Taehyung saw tears trailing down her cheek but he didn't say anything,thinking she must have been scared and she would eventuallystop crying but he was wrong. With time there was no sign of her tears to stop. He finally spoke up when a single droplet of tear fell on his burned area,hissing at the contact of salty solution.

"Why are you crying?" Taehyung squeezed her thigh where his hand were resting and momentarily Haesoo stopped functioning. Her hand wasn't in motion anymore,she forgot how to breath and she felt her heart stop as her mind went blank. She became angry with herself for fluttering over Taehyung's touch which wasn't right at the moment. She felt ashamed of her own feelings for him.

"I'm sorry" Haesoo sobbed.

"Why are you even apologizing? And please stop crying" Taehyung said gently,squeezing her thigh once again. Taehyung knew he was being intimate with her but he had been intimate with her all this time but he had never been intimate with her in school and he kinda liked it. The suspense of being seen by someone else but they were doing nothing wrong so he told himself he wasn't doing anything bad. But he had clearly seen her spine became straighter with his squeeze and goosebumps erupted on her skin. He didn't know whether she was feeling uncomfortable or she liked it so he withdrew his hands from her thigh.

"I can't help it ok?You just got injured just because of me!"

"It's nothing "

"IT IS!" Taehyung had never heard Haesoo yell and that gave away how much she cared for him. Guilt wasn't the only thing he could see in her eyes. She cried as if she was the one who's hand had burnt. She cried as if his hands were hers. Her tears continued running down her cheek as another droplet fell on his hand with which he hissed.

She quickly retrieved a tissue from the table and angrily dabbed her eyes in order to stop crying. Taehyung couldn't contain his laughter as he cackeld.

"Why are you laughing?"She cried harder and at this point she didn't even know why she was crying anymore. Taehyung leaned closer as he wiped her tears off her face with his other free hand fondly "don't be too hard on yourself"

They both held eye contact which seemed like an eternity and finally Taehyung broke apart just to give her a hug. Forgotten was his hand, forgotten was her tears. He held her in his arms as he placed his head above her head and slightly rocked her to comfort her. Little did she know he was the one who was comforted by her presence. She felt his arms crossed over behind her back. And she didn't know where to put her hands. So she clutched the side of his uniform shirt and tried to enjoy his warmth rather than panicking and ruining the mood.

"Oh and I want my dog back" she felt her head wobbled with every syllable Taehyung spoke. And she kind of enjoyed how her head slightly moved in sync with Taehyung's chin.

"And did you apologise to your parents?" Haesoo knew she was crossing her limit but she more than being disliked by him, she didn't want him to have a bad bonding with his family members.

She tried to break apart to see his face but he wouldn't let her go and she knew that he didn't apologise by answering her question with a silence.

"I'm not giving back until you apologise." Haesoo attempted to break apart from his embrace and this time she succeeded.

"Fine then keep it" Taehyung pouted as he slouched in his seat partly sad for not getting his dog back and mainly for not letting him hug her a little bit longer. He mentally made a note for himself to make her pay her for that at night.

On the other hand, Haesoo was oblivious to Taehyung's revenge and she continued to treat his wound.
