sweet oppa

“Cough, cough…….”

“Oppa, I told you not to come here. What if you catch my cold? Cough!”

“It’s okay. I bought medicine. Let’s take it, hmm?”

Chanyeon set the plastic bag on the table and took out the medicine box.

“Ah, I’ll go get some water. Wait a sec.”

A little while later, Chanyeon came into the room carrying two mugs.

“One water, one tea. Here you go. Be careful.”

He put the medicine in my hand, then slowly brought a mug of warm water to my lips and helped me take it.

“Thanks. But oppa really shouldn’t be here. You’ve got a concert in two days, remember?”

“My girlfriend is important too. Look, I brought honey yuzu tea. Your favorite tea. It tastes good and smells great, so your cold will be gone in no time.”

“Tea, my ass…… you can’t be the one catching a cold, oppa.”

I grumbled, but slowly drank the warm yuzu tea.

“I’ll stay until your fever goes down, okay? I’m worried because you live alone.”

Chanyeon’s big hand gently touched my forehead.

“No, it’s okay. Go quickly. If anything happens, I’ll contact you right away.”

“Nuh-uh, no way. This oppa is staying a little longer! No objections!”

“Ah, right.”

“So once you finish the tea and the fever’s gone, you’ll leave, oppa?”

“Hmm…….”

“Oppa, my head hurts and I want to sleep a little. How am I supposed to sleep if you’re here?”

“With me?”

“Oh, come on.”

“I’ll go after you finish all the tea, just until the coughing eases up.”

Chanyeon gently stroked my head.

After drinking the warm tea, my body grew languid and sleepiness slowly began to wash over me. But Chanyeon didn’t leave. Instead, he carefully laid me down on the bed and took the spot beside me.

“Go…….”

When I mumbled weakly, he whispered tenderly.

“I won’t go.”

Chanyeon lightly kissed my forehead and warmly pulled me into his broad arms.
