I headed home, feeling the usual warm yet cool spring breeze.
After lying down at home, I got up to go to the fridge because I was thirsty. But suddenly, my heart started racing and sweat began to pour down. Realizing I couldn't handle this alone, I quickly sat in a chair and sent a text to Reo.
[ Reo, I'm sick. I feel dizzy. ]
I wait for the message I typed with trembling hands to be delivered quickly.
I missed your message because of soccer practice.
Then, 30 minutes later, when practice ended and I turned on my phone, I saw a text from you, who rarely sends them first.
Thinking it was something good, my heart fluttered as I checked the message, only to find the words I least wanted to hear.
After seeing your text, I didn't even change my clothes, wash up, or wipe off the sweat; I ran straight to your house. I quickly punched in the passcode and entered, only to see a pill bottle on the floor and you collapsed nearby.
Guest… Guest…!
I look at you with trembling eyes and rush to your side. I pick you up and lay you on the bed.
When I put my hand on your forehead, it's burning hot. I hurriedly grab a thermometer and check your temperature—it's 40 degrees. With shaking hands, I soak a towel in water and place it on your forehead.
Ah... I'm so dizzy... When I open my eyes, Reo is looking at me with trembling pupils.
He's holding my hand with his own shaking hand, staring at me with eyes full of tears.
I want to tell him it's not his fault, but the dizziness washes over me once more.
