To make Kyu eat half a bowl of porridge, Mai had to hit him several times too. Until Kyu ate while sobbing. When he sees that Kyu can't continue eating, Mai gives him medicine and then he goes back to sleep.
Mai took the bowl of porridge and returned to Kyu's room again. Kyu fell asleep easily.
Mai was sitting on the edge of the bed, still looking at his best friend's face. Her eyelashes that were as long as rafts had tears running down the corners of her eyes, until Mai couldn't help but wipe it gently with her hands. His lips, which have turned pink because of the fever, make Kyu look more delicate than ever.
- I never noticed your face up close, did I?
Mai said to himself softly while sitting and looking at Kyu's face.
- He's cute... his mouth is small, but when he argues, he doesn't know how to stop talking. muttered Mai.
Before taking a break, he realized that the person in front of him was his friend and is a man just like Mai. So he stood up and released his emotions on the balcony of Kyu's room, thinking between him and Kyu.
What is their relationship called now? It was something a man like Mai didn't want to think about. He knows that nowadays it's normal for men to love each other, but the part about sex between people who are friends... Could there be something like that? Thinking about this point, Mai shook her
confused thought in his head, he just thinks that at the moment he has to take care of Kyu. Since the reason Kyu was sick was caused by him. So he must be responsible. Mai then took her own
report and sat down to kill time. Getting up to see Kyu periodically. Continue cleaning and changing the damp towel placed on the Kyu's forehead to cool down.
- Ugh... hot... - Kyu's weak moan sounded, causing the tall figure that was sitting on the table giving a report to hurriedly stand up to look.
- What happened, Kyu? - Mai asked.
- It's hot. - Kyu threw off the blanket that covered his sweaty body, even though the room's air conditioning was on.
The patient complains that he is hot, due to his high body temperature, making Mai immediately take a towel to clean him.
- Mai... hot... Mai... I'm with
heat... uh... Mai. the thin figure continues calling Mai's name, while still sleeping.
- Oh, I'm here now. - Mai replied.
Kyu's slender hand grabbed Mai's hand, holding it tightly.
- Oh... Oh... - when Kyu was already holding Mai's hand, some time later he stopped the delirium and went back to sleep. Mai let out a soft sigh.
- I think I'll be here the whole time. - Mai said to himself, before lying down next to Kyu.
Kyu held his hands tightly. Periodically making a moaning sound, because of the heat in the body.
After sleeping almost all day Kyu slowly opened his eyes as he woke up. The drowsiness has eased a little, but there is still a bit of a sore throat. Kyu felt the coldness in his hands, so he turned to look. He discovered that Mai's tall figure was sleeping next to him, with Kyu's hand holding Mai's hand. Kyu looked at the face of the person he secretly loved and felt a pain in his chest. So close to him, but Kyu didn't reach Mai's heart.
A thin figure leaned over slowly forward, moving towards Mai. Then slowly leaned over to lightly kiss her Mai's lips while he slept.
Plug!
Kyu is completely taken by surprise, when Mai pushes him hard, leaving him in shock. After you opened your eyes, Kyu's face was just inches from yours.
- What are you doing? he asked as he sat down.
- Mae Rong, I came to take care of you, but do you want to secretly sleep with me, Kyu? Even if you are sick, do you still want to think about these things? - Mai said without even thinking.
He didn't act right when he saw the sweet face a little close to him. Kyu looked at Mai in anguish. No matter what, this tall friend was always insulting Kyu.
- Skirt. - Kyu said in a low voice.
- What? - Mai asked in surprise.
- I told you to get out of my house!! Just... don't... be too arrogant to take care of me... I didn't ask you to take care of me... just go. - Kyu said while coughing.
- Do not speak loud. He's coughing. - Mai said when she saw Kyu coughing.
- My story... only you don't love me like I love you. You've hurt me enough... I don't have to hear insults from the person I love again... just... just... go... I told you to get out of my house . - Kyu said while his eyes were clearly shining with pain.
- Yes!! Kick me out! I can go. What? You really can be ungrateful to people! - Mai made some speeches, before picking up her things and immediately turning away from Kyu's house.
A small figure was dying, desperate in bed.
Yes, it doesn't feel good... I wanted Mai close by, but the closer Kyu
It's his, but it hurts. The only way to
recovering from these pains is giving up.Even if it's difficult to do.
The next day.
Kyu, feels much better now, after having slept yesterday and having Mai to look after for half a day. However, it is not completely cured yet. So, he planned to go buy some medicine at the pharmacy and eat some food. Kyu closed the door and rode his motorcycle to the pharmacy. You may feel a little dizzy, but you were forced to walk to the pharmacy. Kyu didn't know there was a car that kept following him. When he arrived at the pharmacy, Kyu went down to buy medicine. Then he plans to go to the market near the pharmacy to buy food and eat at home.
Pooh!
Kyu almost fell and got to his feet when he bumped into someone's broad back, as Kyu was looking at the pills in the bag.
- Where are you walking?!! Oh... Ao... Ai'Kyu. - a fierce voice sounded, before hearing his name.
Kyu looked up and was shocked when he saw Ae and other students from different colleges.
- I'm sorry, brother. - Kyu said.
- What are you doing here? - Ae asked.
- Uh... Well, I came to buy medicine and I'm going to get something to eat. - Kyu said back.
- Do you want to come with me? This is my place. - said Ae smiling.
Uh... Kyu hesitated.
- Or do you hate me? - Ae asked back.
- No, I can go... but I can't stay long, P'Ae. I'm not feeling well, I want to go back to bed and rest. - Kyu said.
- You are not feeling well? Look...
-uh, you have a fever. - said Ae,
placing his hand on Kyu's forehead.
Kyu's face is slightly colorful, because it is in front of many people.
A/N :-Colored face means
is embarrassed.
- Okay, I'll take you to eat some delicious porridge soup. If you are sick, you have to eat light food.
Finished speaking, Ae hugged Kyu to walk together. This caused the tall figure of someone who was standing behind him to clench his fists tightly.
Ae and Kyu went to the restaurant Ae recommended. When I got a table to sit at, I asked immediately.
-1 - Ah, it's delicious, P'Ae. - said Kyu, while tasting the porridge that was served.
- See, I told you, this is my regular restaurant. - Ae said smiling back and continued eating.
The entire time they ate, the two talked about various things. It let Kyu know that Ae is actually not a scary person. He just has a big and fierce face, that alone makes many people fear him.
- Kyu, I want to ask you something. - said Ae.
- What? - Kyu asked back.
- Were you hurt by someone? - he asked bluntly, making Kyu almost choke on the porridge he was eating.
- Why do you ask? - Kyu asked.
- Well, the day you slept in the infirmary when you turned off your cell phone, you were talking with a hoarse voice. You don't remember, do you? - Ae said, while remembering.
Kyu remembers said, he just doesn't know how to tell Ae.
- It's okay, brother... I'm giving up. - Kyu said softly.
- Well, well... don't be so serious about love. He will come again. - said Ae.
- Yes. - Kyu replied.
Trim... Trim... Trim...
Kyu's cell phone rang. A certain figure then picked it up to look at before answering the call.
- What's up Knot? - Kyu said. Hey... Seriously, Night did that much?..... What about Gus? I think it was definitely with P'Gear. If there is no one at Ai'Gus' house.
Kyu said in response to the other end of the line.
- Okay, if you get anything, call me. Kyu said before hanging up.
- What is happening? - Ae asked.
- My friend disappeared from home. His brother fought with him too. - Kyu said briefly, Ae nodded and acknowledged without asking any more questions.
So where do you go now? - Ae asked after they finished eating.
- I'll probably rent a CD and go home. Kyu said.
- Well, how did you get here? - he asked again.
- I came by motorbike. - Kyu replied.
- So how can you fly? What will you do if you get dizzy?
- Ae asked with genuine concern.
- Ok, brother... - Kyu replied, playing like a child.
- Here, let me come after you. If you fall on the side of the road, I will be able to help you in time. - Ae said smiling, Kyu looking at Ae suspiciously.
- What do you want from me? - Kyu asked.
- What the hell are you thinking... don't tell me you thought I was making friends because I was going to flirt with you? - Ae asked bluntly.
Kyu nodded.
- I really want to slap you in the head. I didn't think of you like that. But there is a reason. - Ae said in a serious tone.
- For what reason, tell me. - Kyu said.
Ae's expression was slightly disconcerting. His face turned slightly pale.
Good when I met you. You are as stubborn as my brother that I lost. I was shocked and thought my brother was going to college. So I followed you, that's when I saw you almost faint. - Ae said softly. - You probably think I'm fooling you... but I can tell you it's true. My brother passed away last year. He came to the same course and university as me. But he died first. - Ae said in a low voice.
Kyu asked back.
- So you see me as your brother?
- Oh, you must think I'm crazy. - Ae said back.
- No, it's not crazy at all. For me, it would be good if I had P'Ae as my older brother... you could help me become a little stronger. - Kyu said back in a monotonous voice, when thinking about Mai.
- Ok, I'll help you be strong. - Ae said happily again and Kyu smiled. - So, I'll just take care of you, okay? - Ae said, with Kyu shaking his head and smiling.
You gained another friend. It might be enough to make Kyu stop thinking about Mai for a bit. They chose a movie and went home. Ae followed him until he arrived at Kyu's house.
- Who are you with? - Ae asked.
- Alone, my parents went to work in another province. They will be back in a short time. - Kyu said.
- So, can I come in and sit down? - Ae said frankly, Kyu laughed at Ae's direct speech.
Kyu knows he can't be too easy on trusting others. But after talking today, it made Kyu believe that Ae is not a dangerous person as many people understand.
- Yes. - Kyu replied with a smile.
- You and he must be obsessed with each other. You just met him and already welcomed him into your home, Kyu.
Mai's voice sounded, causing Kyu to turn to look at Mai. Kyu's face was a little lost, before adjusting his face to normal.
- At least he never looked down on me. - Kyu replied indifferently. But deep down he was anxious, he didn't want it to be bad played by Mai like this.
Suddenly!
Kyu's wrist was violently grabbed.
How can you look right?!! The other day, you almost died saying you loved me. But now you bring someone else home. And so, what do you want me to think, Kyu?!! - Mai shouted loudly.
- Mai, you're hurting me. Let me go. - Kyu tried to pull his hand out of Mai's strong hand that had squeezed him tightly.
- You better let Kyu go, Nong. - Ae's hand went to carve Mai's hand on Kyu's wrist.
- Why are you so arrogant?!! He's just a veteran. Don't think I'll be afraid of you. Hehe... protecting him like that, to sleep with him! Mai said.
Kyu's tears immediately flowed upon hearing this.
- Oh, you idiot!! I better give that mouth a good slap. - Ae also retaliated.
But Kyu stopped to block them both, while grabbing Ae's raised fist first.
- No, brother Ae!! Brother Ae, I beg you... I don't want you to have any problems. - Kyu said, pleading with Ae with trembling eyes. Mai can't see because Kyu turned his back.
- But he... - Ae objected.
- Please. - Kyu said again, with tears starting to flow. Holding back your sobs.
Ae easily brought her fist down, with Mai standing there scoffing.
- You can go back now. If you still think I'm your friend. - Kyu said, holding back his sobbing voice.
- It's him?!! - Mai argued back.
Come back... if you don't come back, me and you will stop being friends. - Kyu inevitably threatened. Mai looked angry at the thin back of Kyu.
- Yes!! I can come back and I won't set foot in your house again, are you satisfied? - Mai walked away.
It was secretly parked not far away. The tall figure couldn't help but worry about Kyu. So he's been secretly watching
since then. In the morning, he followed Kyu from the pharmacy to every place Kyu went with Ae, until he returned home. As soon as Mai walked away, Kyu immediately collapsed into his
seat.
- Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu... - Kyu cried louder and louder between sobs. Until Ae was shocked.
- Hey, Kyu... don't cry... I don't know how to comfort people... let's go home first. - Ae doesn't know what to do.
He hurried to support Kyu to get up and take him to the house. Kyu lay crying on the couch for a while, with Ae leaning into his side without saying anything to comfort him. Until Kyu stopped sobbing on his own afterwards.
- Sorry, brother Ae. This made you have to interfere in my affairs. - Kyu said with a trembling voice to Ae.
- You look like this... How could you fall in love with that idiot? - Ae said it straight. Kyu immediately looked at him.
- Did you know? - Kyu asked.
- I am not stupid. - Ae said back. Kyu smiled slightly.
- It will be sad for you to see a man in love with men... He is also my best friend since high school.
- What a shame, but I don't care if you like men too. Perhaps
I'm a little shocked. But when I think about it and look at you, your face is not suitable for having a girlfriend. haha. - Ae said and laughed.
- What's so funny, brother? - Kyu asked back.
Ae raised her hand to rub Kyu's head back and forth.
- Okay, don't think too much. He is not the only man in the world. But except for me, I don't want to have a male wife. Just having a little brother like you should be enough. - said Ae.
Kyu smiled at Ae gratefully. I didn't say much to comfort. He doesn't need to find a reason to speak that Kyu understands. But Kyu felt good that today Ae was by his side.
- Brother Ae... will you be my brother? - Kyu asked.
- Of course, I want you to be my brother too. - Ae said with a smile. Kyu smiled happily.
The next day.
Yesterday after Ae left, he said that in the morning he would come and pick him up so they could go to college together. Kyu accepted.
In the morning, Ae's motorcycle stopped in front of Kyu's house.
- Kyu! Have you finished? - Ae shouted, before Kyu's thin figure ran out of the house with a bread in his mouth.
Here I am, brother. - said Kyu, before closing the door of the house and going up after Ae.
Soon they arrived at the university.
- Thanks. - Kyu said thanking him before returning the helmet to Ae.
- Well, will you have lunch with me for lunch? When will you leave? - Ae asked.
- At 11 o'clock, brother. - Kyu said.
- Eh... I don't have class at that time.
- Ok. - Kyu himself wanted to avoid Mai to cut him out of his mind.
When that idiot says something, don't think too much. Let him talk. But if he does something to you, you tell me and I'll take care of it. - said Ae. Kyu smiled walking to his regular table.
- And Ai'Night? Did you come to college today? - Kyu immediately asked about his little friend. But his eyes also searched for Mai.
- He did not come. P'Fu said P'Day is rampant. I called Ai'Gus, but he didn't answer and Ai'Night's cell phone is with Phi Day. - said Knot, Kyu's face tensed when he heard that.
- What is he thinking? He does not know
-Are your friends worried? If he doesn't want to answer, he should
at least contact us at any moment. - Kyu complained a little.
- Hey Knot, did you get some
thing about Night? - Mai's voice
greeted behind him, making Kyu stops for a moment before acting normally.
- Not yet, I was here talking about it with Kyu. - said Knot. Mai looked at Kyu for a bit, before sitting down,
next to Knot in the normal way.
- So what are you two going to do about your studies? - Mai asked Knot, but her eyes looked at Kyu. Where the figure pretended to look the other way.
- Now let's help them write the paper for them first. I hope they come back and understand each other. Plus, I don't think they're going to leave college like that. - said Knot, before inviting them to go to the first class in the building.
- Where should we have lunch? - Knot asked after the morning class was over.
- The same store that is opposite the mor. Mai said back.
- Knot, I have to go. I have an appointment. See you in the classroom in the afternoon. - Kyu said to Knot.
Mai immediately looked at Kyu but didn't say anything.
- Where are you going, aren't you going to eat with us? Knot asked.
He began to wonder a little more about his two friends. Because now, Mai and Kyu barely say anything. In addition to studying together, they sit far from each other.
- No, I'm leaving. - he said and left immediately.
- Ah, go eat with the architecture veterans. - Mai said, grinding her teeth.
- Who is it? Does Kyu know veterans of this group? - Knot asked intrigued.
- Well, the guy who came up and took him on Friday. His name is Ae. - Mai said back, looking angrily at Kyu's back.
Knot also looked into Mai's eyes, but didn't want to speculate too much. He didn't dare ask, seeing how annoyed Mai looks.
After Kyu went to eat with Ae, they returned home together at night. In the evening, Kyu returned with Ae again.
Ding Dong....
The bell on Kyu's front door rang, prompting the figure to come out to look.
He stopped when he saw that it was Mai behind the gate.
- What? - Kyu asked in a normal tone.
- Well, I... - Mai was about to say something, but had to stop when she saw a large man coming out and stopping on the balcony of Kyu's room. No shirt and just a pair of jeans.
- Who is here, Kyu? - Ae's voice asked.
My friend, P'Ae. - Kyu shouted back.
Mai felt a strange pain in her heart when she heard Kyu say that.
- Oh, hurry up, I'm hungry. - Ae shouted, before disappearing into the house again. Kyu turned to look at Mai.
- What do you want? - Kyu asked again.
- You borrowed Ai'Knot's notebook. He told me to come and get it. - Mai said angrily.
- Oh, wait a minute. - Kyu said before entering the house, without opening the fence gate for Mai to enter.
Soon, a certain figure came out with a notebook and handed it to Mai through the fence gate.
- Anything else? - Kyu asked.
- I am not going. - he said, then went back to his car.
Kyu immediately returned to the house. Mai got up and sat in the car very angry, wanting to attack someone, but had to stop herself.
-Why are you going to stand and look at him? It will disappear on its own. - said Ae when she saw Kyu secretly standing, looking behind the curtain at Mai's car parked in front of the house.
I don't understand... why doesn't he come back? - Kyu said in a dark voice.
- If it's what I think, he'll love you too. _ said Ae. Kyu immediately turned to look at Ae.
- There's no way, brother Ae. He does not love me. - Kyu replied.
Come on, believe me. If he loves you, he will say it one day or another. Because now, he will feel what it's like to have a broken heart. - Ae said, laughing softly in her throat, before going to sit down and play.
