"Y/N's throwing up..."

This added more evidence to my theory.

I need more answers though.

"Did she say her stomach was hurting while she was playing?"

"Yeah..."

As I thought.

"And is that red spot on the rug over there blood?"

"I guess..."

Jeno said with a scared expression.

"Why do you ask?"

"The only logical explanation is that she's on her p-"

"PERIOD!¡!¡"

Jaemin suddenly screamed, waking from his temporary coma.

"Yeah, that"

Everyone looked at me in shock, including Doyoung, who finally stopped hyperventilating.

"How...do you know that...?"

Jungwoo asked, curiously shocked.

"Since I'm obviously gonna have to get a girlfriend someday, I looked into it"

"Can you help us take care of her then?"

Taeyong asked so suddenly.

"Sure"

"Our Jisung is growing up~"

Donghyuck smiled, wiping away fake tears.

-

I made my way towards the bathroom, where Y/N has been for at least over an hour. I knocked on the door, only to be greeted by the unholy sounds of vomiting.

"Hey Y/N, can I come in?"

"N-No...."

I could hear her continuously coughing.

"I have a couple pain pills and some water for you"

"I'm n-not fully c-clothed"

"Why??? Are you hot, even without them on?"

"Very... It h-hurts..."

I could hear her crying from the other side of the door.

I don't care if she's not clothed, I want to help her.

"Y/N, please let me in. I'll cover my eyes if you want, just please let me in so I can help you..."

There was silence for a moment, then I heard her whimpering again.

"I-It's open..."

-

I finally got her to calm down after a while, and she took both of the pills without out a second thought.

She asked me to get her a new set of pajamas and......, underwear, but I asked Taeyong to get the underwear. I also gave her a you-know-what since her you-know-what is "pretty messy and bloody".

Anyway...

I carried her out of the bathroom, since she was far too weak to even stand up on her own. She had a few gag reflexes, but that was about it, besides the constant pain.

I laid her in her bed and made sure she was fully covered, since she was shivering a lot, and I mean a lot. I was about to leave the room when Doyoung stopped me.

"Jisung, I think you should stay with her."

"But hyung, I don't want to be somewhere I might not be wanted. What if she wants to be alone...?"

"Looks like she wants you to stay to me. Plus, what if she needs something? Who will she go to in her time of need if she can't get up?"

He made a compelling point.

Suddenly, Chenle and Lucas came into the room. For once, quietly.

"We brought peppermint tea for you both~"

Lucas cheered with a nervous smile.

"Thanks so much~"

I put Y/N's tea on her nightstand, since she obviously didn't have the strength to drink it right now.

"Well..., we'll leave you two be~"

"Not without this popcorn~"

Taeyong cheered, swiftly sliding into the room.

"Is that for me?"

"Yeah. But when Y/N wakes up, you two can both share it!"

"If there's even any left over~"

Chenle whispered.

"Aish, get out~"

I insisted, pushing Chenle out the room.

"Only after you promise not to devour all of the popcorn before she wakes up~"

"Fine, I promise~"

-

I sat in the chair I was "supposed" to sit in last night, and I drank my tea as I played Injustice 2. Scarecrow is one of my favorites in the game.

Y/N was still fast asleep, but she was still shaking as if she was still awake. It hurt me to see her like this.

I paused my game and put my tea down, before I walked over to her bed.

She hugged the plushie she brought with her, as if she was holding on to it for dear life. Every few seconds, she would clench her fist on it harder. That showed that she was feeling a lot of pain.

I gently moved her hair off of her face, and just admired her features. She looked so at peace, but at the same time, so hurt.

"I wish, I could've helped you more. I wish I was there for you when the pain started. I'm sorry..."

I softly grabbed her hand that clutched her plushie, and held it delicately. Her hand was really really soft, like none I've ever felt before.

I just sat on the edge of her bed, not knowing what to do. I'm just that awkward.

But, I felt her hand clench mine. I thought she was awake, but she was still asleep. Thinking it was by accident, I tried to pull my hand away from hers, but she wasn't letting go.

"I love you..."

I looked at the door, but no one was there.

And we were the only ones in the room.

That means...

She..., said she loved me...

I looked at her, more closely this time, but sure enough, she was still asleep. Maybe she didn't really mean it...

I see that there's no way of me escaping her grasp, so I'll just stay here. I sat on the floor next to the bed, still holding her hand, and laid my head against the side of the bed.

Before I drifted off to sleep, I murmured one thing in response to her.

"I love you too..., a lot..."
