“You made sure to take your medicine this morning, right Tae?” Said boy nods, tightening his grip on his knees.
“Then why did you ask me to meet you here instead of being in math?” He looks up at me through tear filled eyes before looking back down, burying his head into his knees.
Taehyung and I have different 2nd classes. Mine's Science and his is Math. Not long after class had started, I had gotten a text from Tae, telling me to meet him in the bathroom. Upon entering the bathroom, I found Tae on the floor right next to the door.
I sit on the floor in front of him, placing a hand on top of his head.
“Do I need to call your mom?” His head snaps up almost instantly. He fervently shakes his head, a small whimper escaping him. This tells me he definitely forgot to take his medicine and didn't want to get in trouble.
“Please don't.” He grabs my hand that had slipped from his head to his shoulder and squeezes it. I nod before pulling him into a hug. His head lands on my chest as my arms wrap around him, his arms wrap around my waist.
“I won't. Do you wanna go hide somewhere else until class ends?” I look down at him as he lifts his head shakes it before laying his head back down.
“Stay here.” His words are muffled against the fabric of my shirt but were still heard. I card my fingers through his soft brown locks. I can feel a smile stretch across his face as he relaxes against me. It’s not long before his breaths even out, signaling he’d fallen asleep. I send his mom a text telling her to come get us but not telling her exactly why when she asks. I tell her Taehyung got sick and doesn’t want to tell the teacher. She accepts this excuse and tells me she’ll be here in 5. Looking down at Tae, I brush his bangs out of the way so I can kiss his forehead.
