Transmigrated Into The Book

The night came and all of the students were now ready for bedtime. Some juniors decided to play truth or dare and some of them already headed towards their tents.

Jaewon, who was finished washing his face, strided the grassy land with a towel on his shoulders. He brushed his hair up "The water was cold" he mumbled

Some of his juniors asked him to join in their games but he was sleepy. He headed straight to his tent and closed the entrance.

The warmth that had accumulated inside his tent gave him comfort. He wiped his hair and fixed himself. He rolled on his mini futon and covered half of his body. He tried to close his eyes after feeling his hot eyelids, it made him teary.

Jaewon sighed "I feel so sleepy" he mumbled

After talking to Nohae earlier, he suddenly felt like he was very heavy. His breaths were hard to catch and he was very hot. It was like he had a fever, he got soaked in the rain though. Jaewon  does not want to disturb the faculty and student councils because he believes that it will only be hastened and will disappear tomorrow.

He rubbed his eyes when he felt some hot tears from it. "I guess I will just sleep this off away," he uttered.

Meanwhile, Yeon-ho who was still wide awake watched the shadows penetrating through his tent from outside. He could hear the murmuring noises of the juniors having fun in their games.

He was busy rubbing an ointment cream around his wrist. It was because the two of them pulled each other while in the game and it led the ribbon to tighten around their hands. 

He clicked his tongue. "I can't sleep," he said in dismay.

He was ready to sleep though, changed into new clothes and a warm blanket. He has been blinking since earlier and his mind is pushing him to see Jaewon. 

He closed the lid of the ointment and clicked his tongue once more. He was contemplating whether he would give Jaewon an ointment because he was sure that the male's wrist was also sore or if he would just do it tomorrow.

In his unawareness, his body moved on its own. He went outside and walked straight to Jaewon's tent. He stopped and called the male's name, he got no answer. 

Yeon-ho shakes his head "What the heck is wrong with me? Maybe he was already sleeping" he mumbled to himself.

He turned around and just when he was about to stand up, he heard a groan from the tent. Yeon-ho automatically felt worried so he crouched down and opened Jaewon's tent hurriedly. 

"Jaewon?!" He lifted up the blanket covering the male. There he saw Jaewon, shivering while hugging his own body. He tapped the male's forehead "A fever!" He exclaimed.

Yeon-ho was left in astonishment, it made him worried. "Wait for me here," he said as he stood up and exited the tent.

He dashed towards the student council's quarters, where he saw a student writing something on a folder. Dohyun lowered his gaze and looked at Yeon-ho. "What is it?" He asked after noticing the heavy breaths of the male.

Yeon-ho released a deep breath. "D-Do you h-have medicines f-for fever?" he asked, still catching his breath. 

Dohyun realized the situation and as the student president, it is his duty to assure everyone's health and well-being. He closed the folder he was in earlier and went inside their tent. As he stepped outside, he handed Yeon-ho a medicine and a head patch. "Make sure that he will take the medicine immediately and put the patch on his forehead, it will absorb the heat from his body" he stated. 

Yeon-ho bowed his head "Thank you," then he quickly vanished from the male's sight.

When he went back inside Jaewon's tent, he found the male quivering in fever. "Can you sit up?'' He asked. 

Jaewon grasped his shoulders and supported himself, he leaned on Yeon-ho's chest as the male handed him the medicine and a bottle of water. After taking it, he lay down again.

Yeon-ho helped him adjust his blanket, "The medicine will take effect soon so better sleep now" he said, moving an inch away from the male. "I will go n----" he was stopped by the grip on his hands, it made him look back at Jaewon.

"C-Can you p-please stay f-for a while?" Jaewon asked him with a pleading and sleepy eyes.

Their eyes met, Yeon-ho knew that Jaewon needed some care because he had a fever but why does his face look enchanting to him? Especially when Jaewon looked at him full in the eyes. 

Yeon-ho pulled the male's hand away from his wrist and put it on his cheeks, he leaned Jaewon's palm on his face "Okay," he replied. He closed his eyes and felt the warmth from the male's hand.

After a minute of staying like that, he noticed that Jaewon finally fell asleep. He lowered his eyes and saw the male's wrist, it was still red and swollen. He remembered that he brought the ointment with him so he slipped it out from his pocket. 

He first observed how thin Jaewon's fingers were compared to him; he let their fingers intertwine. He wanted to hold it like that forever but his heart was protesting inside his chest. The butterflies inside his stomach flapped their wings out which made his face cherry red. It made him giggle from his own embarrassment.

He released the male's hand and rubbed some cream on it quickly. He was smiling while doing it, he wanted to do it for a very long time. Jaewon was always pushing him away but the truth is he wanted to take care of him. He was just teasing him because Jaewon was adorable when blushing up to his ears. 

He couldn't believe that he was now this close to the male he wanted to ignore before. He didn't know that stepping away from Jaewon is like a magnet, pulling him more and more.

Yeon-ho grinned "You still got a soft side huh…" he mumbled, letting his lips make a peck on Jaewon's hand.
