Her lips curved just the slightest at the desperate words that left the male’s lips. Somehow, it warmed her heart a little that some people still cared, despite everything.
But her fever was not going down, her body’s strength had left completely and she had no appetite to eat whatsoever. How she had gotten into such a state was still quite unknown but she figured anyone would be smart enough to realize she had done that to herself. This time she was dangerously close to that line between life and death, hung by a simple thread that could easily break at any moment.
Her throat felt dry when she tried to speak and her voice failed her when she tried to tell him not to worry. She’d be alright soon enough. One thing about Jinhee was that getting sick was extremely rare to happen but when it did– it got way worse than most people, reason why she was in that state after another night of walking home in the rain after having lost so many hours of sleep taking extra shifts and skipping meals in her incessant search for a new job.
She was truly expecting him to scold her as if she was a kid for, sometimes, she truly was. it was still extremely hard for her to take care of herself. She had, after all, lost her family so early, had to grew up so quickly in such ways that would not be expected of not only children but adults too. She wished she could be a child again.
“You’re such a child, I swear to God...” He frowned, placing his palm on her forehead to check the temperature, which was high and didn’t seem to get lower. He wasn’t really mad, as after all it was none of his business. It wasn’t that he didn’t care about people, but he couldn’t stand when they would be as careless. He had some issues with people who didn’t care about their own well being, whether they did it on purpose or not. He could understand a lot of things, but there were still times when he wouldn’t understand why would humans act that way.
He left the female on the bed and disappeared, coming back only after some moments. As much as his inner monster tried to be oblivious and cold, he couldn’t leave someone with such a fever. After all his parents didn’t raise him that way and deep down he felt like he needed to help. Plus, there was no need to scold or kill the other, as there was no wish to die and scolding wasn’t necessary, as she already suffered a lot from what she had done to herself. He brought her a cup of warm tea and a pill, sitting on the bed side next to the female. He placed the pill and the cup on the table beside and helped her sat up. “You need to drink this. I honestly don’t care if you don’t want, you’ll drink it... If anything I’ll force the pill down your throat.” He nodded, his expression dead serious, as he wasn’t in the mood to joke around.
He took the pill and the cup again, handing the pill to the girl and watching her with his piercing gaze. He wasn’t planning to babysit her for days, until she would get better, it was not his job. After all, she did it all to herself, so she was the one who had to put effort to get better.
