Sympathy

Minjo rush to the toilet. She's having a headache. Thankfully her friends don't notice her condition on the way they're walking back to the classroom. She tried to recall what did she had for her breakfast this morning. Her stomach is growling in pain.

Minjo faced herself in front of the mirror hanging at the sink. Her face turned into pinkish colour. She embrace her forehead and she felt hot. 'Great.' She mumbled to herself.

As soon as she walk out from the wash room; Minjo bang into someone. "I'm sorry." Said that girl. Minjo turned to that shortie; it's Sunny. "Ahh, me too." Minjo bake a smile to her.
"Are you ok? You seems... Scarlet." Sunny let out the statement. Minjo begin to feel uncomfortable but she's trying her best to figure out of something so that she could slip through a long conversation.

"Am I?" A long pause. Suddenly the situation getting awkward.

"Yup. Owh, I got to go somewhere else. The teacher's already in the class. Better get back there hurry!" Sunny left Minjo behind as she gave her a smile. However; she sighed. She can't go back to the class; not with her 'scarlet' condition.

Even though she knows that her friend might worry about her, she still chose to skip class until her heat decrease. She headed to the top roof.

In the classroom;

"Why is Minjo still not here?" Asked Bomi. Taeyon and Haemin seems worried too. "Maybe she's having stomach ache?" Guess Haemin, she's trying to comfort her friends too. "Oh, she did tell me she's gonna be late. Don't worry." Added Taeyon, she just remembered about it. At last Bomi don't say anything; three of them continue concentrate on the lesson.

Back on the top roof;

Minjo begin to shivered as the sky turning dark. The wind is blowing hardly. She decide to go to other place, more warmer. Plus; she had left her school coat in the class.

When she open the door, she shock. A guy that standing in front of him startled too.

"What are you doing here?" Asked Donghae to Minjo. Kinda curious.
Minjo remain silent, she's controlling her body not to shiver to much. She doesn't want anybody knows her condition. Donghae came near to her, "Have you done something wrong? Or you've drop a bunch of books again?" He smirked. Minjo look away, she cross her hands around her body. She don't feel that she can stand it anymore; Donghae's tease make her angry and she's freezing to death.

"Yah Minjo, are you.." Donghae stop. He realise that something's wrong. He lean his face nearer to her but Minjo hurry walk into the door stairs, she needs heat. She really need them! Donghae chase her and grab her hand. It's dark. The door has closed, only a glimpse of light can be seen, enough to help them to see the dark surrounding. The stairs lamp doesn't function anymore.

"Minjo, you're so hot." Donghae pulled her, make her not to go anywhere. "I... I have to go." Says her wobbly, at that moment, Donghae realize Minjo's face are pale. Donghae even placed his hand on her forehead but Minjo remove his hand. "You're shivering and pale." Said Donghae as he looked to Minjo's face. He hurried open his school coat and placed it on Minjo's shoulder.

"Come on, let's go to the aid room." Donghae grab her hand and walked but Minjo just standing still. Sensible.

"Minjo?" He looked back.
"Go, I'm not leaving." Minjo pulled her hand.
"What? Are you crazy? You're sick!" Donghae begin to raise his voice. Minjo looked up to Donghae.
"Wae? Why you raise your voice? Isn't this what you always like to see. When I'm in pain?" Donghae became speechless. Minjo remove Donghae's coat and hand it to him.

"I don't need your sympathy."

Donghae felt guilty. Is this it? Why did he eventually care about this girl? The girl who's standing in front of her? The girl who he used to teased and hurt her feelings.

Suddenly Minjo collapse, Donghae with surprise hurried caught her and keep her on his lap. Minjo in half conscious. Her tears begin to flow through her hazel eyes.

"Wae Donghae? You shouldn't be here." Minjo burst into coughing. Donghae still remain silent. Without he realising he's embracing Minjo.

"Promise me; you won't tell the Bomi, Haemin and Taeyon that I'm this sick." She cried and sit apart from him. Donghae wipe her tears that flowed to her cheeks.

"I'm sorry." Says Donghae. Minjo looked at him weakly. She really disbelief on what she have heard. She smiled. "I've apologise you from the early Donghae."

Donghae hug her. "I'll heat you up." Minjo blushed. Her heart pounds wildly.

"Donghae. It's dark." Minjo pushed him slowly. They look to each other. Donghae smiled, "Sorry." He placed back her coat around Minjo. He blushed too. He can't believe what he have done just now. 'I'll heat you up?' - What the hell are you thinking Donghae?! He talked to himself in his heart.

Minjo seats beside him on the stairs floor, she's been folding herself around the coat. Donghae pat his shoulder while looking to Minjo; "As a treat, you can lean on my shoulder."

Minjo smiled. She stay at her place, right now she have forgot her pain. She's more nervous as Donghae's presence, suddenly Donghae grab her hand and blow on them, he even rub both of her hands using his hands. "This can help you from freezing. My mom kept doing it to me when I was a child. And she'll do one thing so that I would get rid of my body heat."

"What?" I watch him curiously. He looked at me. He lean his face nearer to me and asked "Do you really want to know?" I nodded and still looking at him.

Suddenly he came near to Minjo. Their lips touched. Minjo shocked but the kiss was so intense. They can't stop, the passion of the kiss in the dark heat up, Donghae begin to licked her lips but then Minjo pushed him away. She's out of breath and she's embarrassed on what she have done. Donghae flustered too. He closed his eyes while holding his head with disgraceful.

"I'm sorry. I can't..." Donghae pause.

Minjo stood up, she throw the coat to him. "I.. I never thought that I just trust you just now!" She dash out from there. Minjo cried in the wash room. "Freak Donghae, why would you say you're sorry after you've kissed me?" She talked to herself in front of the mirror. She washed her face and she realize something; her stupid bad condition and her sickness has gone. It's like in a blink of eyes. She touched her lips; 'is it because...'

"Minjo-ah!!!"

Minjo frightened, she hurried look towards the voice calling for her.

"What are you doing here!! We've been searching for you." Haemin jolt toward Minjo. While Bomi and Taeyon just watch her from Haemin's back.

"You've skipped Calculus class dear." Remind Taeyon to her. Bomi came to Minjo and lift her hand on Minjo's forehead. "Are you not feeling well? Why are you so shocked when Haemin call your name?"

Minjo smiled; "Tell me who won't get frightened when someone shout your name, plus it's echoing."

Taeyon giggled while Haemin mimicking.

"Come on girls, let's go back to class." Said Bomi while smiling.
