The male took care of everything, even food. As soon as he spotted a free table, he walked in its direction and let her sat down, saying that he was going to bring her the food. She tried to protest, telling him that she could do it herself, but he insisted and she gave up.

By the nervousness, she went on fidgeting with her fingers and the hem of the sleeve of her purple cardigan, mentally preparing a list with what she could say and what was better avoid.

When he came back to the table with both of his hands busy with the trailers, Jieun wondered how he managed to not break his wrists and she soon came to the conclusion that no one was more bumbling than her.

"I bought you some doenjang jjigae with some boiled rice. I know it's not the most tempting food, but I'm sure that it will help you with your sickness."

He claimed as he sat down in front of her. She watched how his cheeks turned in a cute shade of pink while he scratched his nape sheepishly. His worry about her current health status made Jieun melt, finding it absolutely adorable.

The girl started eating it and Yeosang enjoyed how she hummed with gusto when she chewed on the tofu.

"It's delicious! Thank you, Yeosang!"

She sang, smiling with her cheeks stuffed with food. The male observed how she had her hands hidden in the sleeve of the cardigan and he had to repress his willingness to slide his fingers in the sleeve and caress her palm with his thumb. He could've looked at her eating all day without never getting tired of how careless she looked.

Yeosang shook his head, shooing those fantasies that were wildly playing in his brain. He nibbled in his porridge, before talking.

"However, you shouldn't come to school when you don't feel good."

He scolded her, his tone, though, betrayed him, since it sounded more like a joke than a real reproach. He couldn't get angry at her, because he would've done the same thing.

Jieun smiled sheepishly and tried to hide her blame face behind the chopsticks. Yeosang moved on the side to avoid the sticks and have a better look at her visage.

The girl chuckled and covered her mouth with her hand.

"I know, I know. It's just that my roommate is noisy, nosey, and slobby and I can't have a second of peace that she's causing some troubles in the kitchen or in the bathroom. Here, on the campus, I can have some tranquility."

She said, concluding her explanation with a sweet pout on her red lips. She started playing with the tofu and the mushrooms, pinching them and moving the ingredients from side to side of the bowl, before finally eating them.

Yeosang's mouth moved on its own, not giving them time for his mind to realize what he had just said.

"You can come to my place."

He spoke so quickly that he almost didn't even realize he talked. He bit his lower lip, silently and internally churning himself for being so impulsive. Plus, his apartment wasn't big enough to host two people.

Jieun's eyes shone, her lips slightly parted before diving into a violent cough caused by choking herself with the food she was chewing. She didn't expect to hear such a purpose from Yeosang. Though, one thing was sure: she wouldn't have rejected.

The male, meanwhile, thought that the girl was about to throw her bowl full of hot and spicy soup to his face, accusing him to be a pervert and to take advantage of her current health status. When he spot sparkles and a wide smile on her plump lips, all of those scary thoughts disappeared.
