Bab 27: Chapter 27: Uninvited Fever

Fahami's POV:

"Fahami? Are you listening to me?" Eunjin was waving one hand in front of my face.

"Uhh? Umm, sorry. I zoned out. What were you saying?"

I couldn't concentrate on anything after the incident happened this morning. Oh, God! I was so embarrassed. Well, technically Taesung didn't see me naked, but I swear I felt very much naked under his piercing gaze. Taesung was also shocked to see me like that. It wasn't intentional. I was just cleaning the kitchen after Taesung left. All of a sudden a cockroach flew out from the cupboard. I wasn't usually fearful of insects. But when it came to flying cockroach, I acted like a stupid. I was screaming and trying to kill that poor thing. I didn't know how, but I stepped on the cockroach. Poor thing! Now I felt sad for it. I didn't like killing innocent creatures. Anyway, just when I understood I stepped on it, I felt so disgusted that I directly ran to the bathroom and turned on the shower. Hence, I was soaked. I wasn't expecting to face Taesung. I thought either I was going to dress up before he arrived or he was going to arrive later.

Gosh! I felt like an idiot. How could I be so careless! I wouldn't react like this if I didn't notice Taesung's bulge. He was turned on.

'Oh, God! Kill me now.'

I couldn't blame that boy. I mean, after all he was a young healthy man who would normally react like that in this kind of situation. He was embarrassed too. He was literally shivering when he came out of the bathroom. Furthermore, he definitely took a cold shower. Since this morning, I was distracted by the whole thing. I couldn't concentrate on my study either. I was doomed!

"Fahami, you are not listening." Eunjin was glaring at me.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about some stuffs." I tried to show her a convincing smile.

She didn't look convinced at all. Instead of looking convincing, she looked at me in suspicion, "Fahami Ersin, are you hiding something from me?"

I choked on my saliva, "What? No, I am not hiding anything from you."

Eunjin folded her arms firmly around her chest, "Now I am sure, you are obviously hiding something. What is it?" She raised a brow.

"No, nothing. I am telling the truth. Trust me."

"Fine. So, how are your neighbor?" She had an amused expression on her face.

"He is fine." I tried to keep my bored expression. Eunjin didn't know that Taesung and I were living together.

"Just fine?" She wiggled her eyebrows.

"Ugh! Eunjin. Stop it. Don't you have to study?" I groaned.

She smiled sweetly, "Okay, I won't ask anymore. But Missy, don't think I am letting this go. If you are hiding something from me, I am going to find it. Soon." She narrowed her eyes funnily.

I laughed and smacked her head.

'How am I going to face him now?'

I was thinking as I was climbing up the stairs. I went to the restaurant, but one of the waiters told me, Taesung left earlier.

I took a deep breath, "Okay, I can do this. Nothing had happened."

I pushed the key and unlocked the door. Lights were out and the air felt thick.

'Where is Taesung?'

"Taesung?" I called for him as I was undoing my coat.

I heard a slight groan. I turned the lights on and saw Taesung, laying down on the bed and shivering.

"Taesung." I panicked. I sat down next to him and held his hand. His hand was burning with temperature.

He flinched when I placed my cold hand on his. "Noona?" His eyes were half closed and his nose was turned pink.

"You have fever. Oh, God!! How did it happen?" I was hella worried. His temperature was so high that it felt like it would burn me and turn me into ash.

"Noona." He was groaning. I understood he was suffering. Some people couldn't handle fever that well. Perhaps, he was one of them.

I went to my room to find the first aid kit. When I opened the box, I couldn't find the thermometer. Damn! Why couldn't I find anything when it was needed? I looked in everywhere but couldn't find it. Finally, I found it on my study table.

'Why the hell it is here?'

I quickly went to Taesung's room, "Taesung, can you sit up? I have to check your temperature." Taesung didn't give me any reply. I bet he couldn't process anything I said now.

"Taesung?"

He groaned. He was suffering. I wrapped my arms around his torso and pulled him up. He was leaning on me, his head was hidden in my neck. His breath was fanning my neck making me feel ticklish. I didn't have enough time to think about it. I placed a pillow against his back to keep him balanced. Gradually, I placed him against the pillow. His thick brown straight hair covered his forehead, eyes were closed, lips slightly parted, nose was reddish. He looked like a five-year-old kid.

I placed the thermometer inside his mouth. A groan escaped from his mouth in protest. He was frowning and groaning. His adams apple bobbing up and down with every groan escaping from him. It was hard to see him suffering, physically or mentally.

When I pulled out the thermometer, I was astounded. His temperature was 103 F. Damn it! I had to do something otherwise his temperature would increase. I had to give him a sponge bath.

"Taesung? I need to give you a sponge bath. Can you put off your shirt?"

He didn't reply. He was continuously groaning.

'Taesung isn't noticing anything.'

I soaked a towel and rinsed off the excess water. Honestly, I was hesitating, but there wasn't any other option. I deeply exhaled and pulled up the hem of his shirt. Slowly his body was being visible. He wasn't bulky but had the right amounted of muscles that were required. His lean yet built muscular body was shining under the light. I softly wiped his body. He was shivering more and groaning and trying to remove my hand. I didn't stop. I cloud clearly notice goosebumps on his skin. I slowly pulled him up to wipe his back. When he sat up straight, I moved to his back. I wish I didn't, because I couldn't believe my own eyes. What the hell was I seeing?

I covered my mouth with my palm to control the sob that was threatening to come out. Tears rolled down my cheeks.

'Oh my God! Who did this?'
