Opening her eyes only to be greeted by a white celing, Jia held her head due to the strong headache that welcomed her just now

Trying her best to sit up, she looked around with her blurry vision

"Is this heaven? Did I finally escaped the world?"

"Where did I....." she looked around as her eyes pinned on a chair "...ended?"

There he was, her boyfriend sleeping cutely on the chair next to her hospital bed as his blonde strands covered his handsome face

His eye bags were visible as a hint of guilt builded inside her, knowing she was the reason of why he was like that

As she felt something on her hand, she looked down as a light red tint appared on her cheeks while staring at his hand resting on top of hers

Jia's eyes started roaming around the room nervously as she saw Ni-ki moving

He opened his eyes slowly and looked around half asleep which Jia founded really cute

Rubbing his eyes with the only free hand, Ni-ki looked at the hospital bed and finally realised

"Y-You're awake" Riki softly spoke and glanced at her as she just looked at her lap

"How are you feeling?" He reached her bed and sat beside her

"M-My head hurts a little" lie, it hurted a lot but she didn't wanted to burden him anymore and didn't wanted to seem like a crybaby because she couldn't endure a headache

She kept looking down and didn't dared to face him "hey, look at me"

He grabbed her hand and putted it on his leg as he massagged it lightly

Jia slowly raised her head and faced a soft-eyed Riki

"I'm sorry" Ni-ki frowned at the sudden apology

"Sorry for what?" He held her hand and intertwined their fingers but didn't recieved any response by her

"I-I'm sorry for making you worry, you should be with the members not here. I'm sorry for—" Ni-ki suddenly pulled her for a kiss

Jia looked down to hide her red face and shyly played with her fingers

"Why are you apologising? There's nothing you have to be sorry for"

The boy chuckled upon seeing his flustered girlfriend after the sudden kiss he gave her

"But can I ask you something first?" Even if she was red as a tomato, Jia looked up and nodded

"What happened to your arms?"

Just now, the girl realised her exposed forearms as she panicked inside

"I-I had a diet to follow and I loosed a lot of weight" She prayed he would buy it but it didn't seem to happen soon

"I know you too well Jia-sshi, have you starved yourself again?" Jia quickly shook her head

"I didn't! I swear! I had an extreme diet and I losed too much" Riki finally buyed her excuse as Jia felt relieved

I'm sorry Riki

Lying to him was the last thing she wanted to do now but she didn't had any choice left

"I need to go for now, Jiyeon said she's coming here to—" just in time, the door opened as Jiyeon's head popped up

"Hello lovebirds~"

"I'll see you after pratice ok?" Jia nodded cutely as Riki kissed her forehead

"See you later love~" he waved until the door was closed

Jiyeon smiled at the cute couple "how to have a boyfriend like him?"

Jia chuckled "I bet you will find someone like him one day, you just have to wait"

"Do you feel like eating?" The maknae zoned out and thought about it

Does she feel like eating?

"What can you offer me?" Jiyeon placed a plastic bag on the bedside table near her bed

"I buyed Taiyaki"

"might as well try" Jia grabbed the box and stared at the food

"You don't have to feel forced—" she stopped when the maknae gave a bite of the food and ate it all

"Woah woah woah, what happened?"

"I don't know, I just felt like eating"

In the end, Jia ate tons of it as Jiyeon was confused

What happened to her dislike for food?

And without them knowing, Ni-ki was becoming the medicine to her disorder

He was her happy pill that made all her worries vanish like thin air

He was like a drug she was using to feel happiness

The therapy to her eating disorder
