feverish `
( itaewon café, 7/29, 12:40pm )
an unpleasant heat suffuses her body: the first bad sign. joohyun’s already grateful to have lasted this long outside without collapsing ( as every single part of the girl’s limbs currently ache with soreness whenever she moves ) so accepting the inevitability of sickness comes easily. she’s rain-slicked, with moisture pearling on her pale face and arms before a soft towel is quickly found and wrapped snugly around her. joohyun breathes out a shaky ‘thanks’ to seulgi, her lips trembling as she forces out a tight smile to the girl. the warmth of the towel does help and joohyun clings to it with a white-knuckled grip.
what a mess she must look like, with tangled wet hair and ruined makeup like a drowned rat. joohyun glances at the café’s window and shudders violently when she sees the streaming downpour lashing against the glass. it reminds her anew of the unnatural sweat that clings to her forehead and neck, as well as the cough she can feel beginning to build up in her lungs. “h-how long until the next... d-dance?” joohyun manages to ask seulgi, her voice quivering faintly.
