Fever || Solo
It was a day like any other. Taehyung went through his day like normal, attending all his classes. By the end of his Runes class, he started to feel sick. He felt dizzy and nauseous. Its as though he had a fever, which is unusual because he can’t get fevers with his already high body temperature. Since birth, Taehyung had an abnormally high body temperature, making it impossible to get a fever. He thought it strange, so he decided to skip out on the dance club. Instead of going to the nurses office or back to his dorm, Taehyung decided to take a walk by the Tranquil Lake. Its been a while since he’s been near the lake and he thought that the cool water and scenery will calm him down.
His head was pounding as he made his way towards the lake. Once he arrived, he toed his shoes off and rolled up his pants to his knees. He sat by the lake and dipped his feet into the water. What he didn’t expect was for his body temperature to be so high, and as his feet made contact with the water, he was shocked to see a small but still visible fog rise from the water. He laughed bitterly to himself, baffled at how high his temperature can go. He laid back onto the grass, the cool water flowing through his toes. He still felt a bit sick, his headache still present, but he can feel his body going back to normal. Before he knew it, his eyes fluttered shut, his breathing becoming lighter.
Taehyung woke up hours later, unaware himself that he fell asleep. It was already dark out. He checked the time on his phone, there’s only an hour left before curfew. He’s surprised that he fell asleep for so long, the fact that no one came around and woke him up surprised him more. He stood up, his feet soaked and a bit wrinkly from having them in the lake for hours. He no longer had a headache or felt nauseous. He decided to walk back to the dorms barefooted, thinking that it was better to step on dirt and rocks than to wet his shoes.
