Fever

Where are you, little boy?

“Mamamuuuu”

Little boy,

Wait…

Wait little boy… I’ll be there.

Wait a little bit….

Demono

I suddenly opened my eyes.

The first thing I could see was Alice’s face, which was dozing off next to me.

Why is she here?

“Alice?”

“Ummm.”

Alice opened her eyes slightly to see as soon as she heard me.

As soon as she saw me, her eyes opened opened wide.

“Elly? Are you awake?”

“This is……”

I wanted to ask you where am I, but my voice was hoarse.

Not only was my throat was hoarse, but also my mouth was itchy and sore as if I had swallowed a lot of sand.

I frowned, and Alice handed me a cup of water.

“Where am I, Isn’t this your room.?”

I got up with Alice’s help and gulped down the water.

“What am I doing in your room.?”

“What were you doing..? You’ve been sick for three days.”

After hearing that, I felt my whole body throbbing and my head dizzy as if I had muscle pain.

My back and forehead were also wet with cold sweat.

It’s been three days…

“I must have been very sick.”

“Oh Yes, It was very serious. Do you still have a fever…”

Alice sighed as she looked at me touching my forehead and after that she went and pulled back the curtains.

As the sun came in. Alice’s face could be seen properly.

Alice must have had a good rest in my hometown, but strangely, Alice’s eyes had black circles.

“You haven’t slept properly for the past three days and took care of me. Right?”

Somehow, I felt sorry.

“I’m sorry, because of me you’re having a hard time.”

“ Elly…. Do you know how surprised I was when your face turned white?”

“You slept without turning on the heater, didn’t you?” That’s why you seem to have caught a cold, Ms. Jane said. I’m glad it wasn’t pneumonia.”

Jane is the name of the health teacher.

“Was I really sick for three days…?”

“Yes, you’ve been sick for three days, so don’t strain yourself, stay still.”

I do remember Alice complaining about the new room, but the memory after that was little hazy.

As I was thinking, Alice asked in a loud voice.

“Really….., How on earth can you forget to turn on the heater and sleep?”

“I guess I was out of my mind because of the robber.”

I murmured, recalling the excuse I heard from Felix.

It was a secret that the little boy had appeared, but the story that an intruder had entered was an open secret.

“It’s possible…., And what was Felix doing? I even asked him to look after you.”

“Felix didn’t do anything wrong.”

“What? Are you covering up for your childhood friend?”

I didn’t mean to protect Felix, but I didn’t want Alice to blame Felix.

He struggled to find the little boy while I was in the room.

But I couldn’t tell the truth straight away, and I didn’t want to hear him get cursed at either, so I stood by his side this time.

Well, I hope Alice doesn’t misunderstand.

Fortunately, Alice turned the conversation around without further ado.

“Well, anyway, you’re feeling better now, that’s enough. I’ll get some food from the cafeteria. Eat and take a nap.”

“Yes, thank you.”

I looked around the room after Alice left.

I wondered if Felix had left a note about the little boy’s whereabouts.

But, contrary my heart’s content, there was nothing.

‘Did he not find him?’

Professor Deros should have returned by now.

Felix should have told the professor.

Even after that, if he hasn’t found anything, does that mean there’s really no way to find the little boy.?

I was depressed for a while, but fortunately, Alice’s return helped me to cheer up.

The meal brought by Alice was a simple meal on the plate.

It was a diet meal that had a steaming soup, fluffy bread, fresh salad and juice, which were good for sore throat.

When I opened the Soup lid, what I saw was……

Broccoli soup.

The soup that little boy liked so much.

As soon as I took a sip of the soup, I choked.

“ Elly. What’s wrong with you?….Are you crying? Does it still hurt anywhere?”

“No, I’m fine. It’s just a sneeze. I’m fine.”

| quickly put the soup in my mouth to hide my tears that were about to leak out.

Whenever I took a sip of the soup, the little boy’s face passed by in front of my eyes.

The little boy screaming excitedly at the festival, the little boy screaming bravely at the Angus man.

The little boy who smiled with a lot of sweet potatoes on his lips, the little boy who pouted and cried when he didn’t like anything.

I couldn’t swallow the soup anymore.

Tears welled up in the soup bowl.

“Elly? Hey, don’t cry. Why are you crying? Wait a minute I’ll get Ms. Jane”

Alice rushed out, but I couldn’t catch her.

I just shut my mouth and burst into tears.

DED

“It’s still very bad. Her throat is swollen and she still has a fever.”

Health teacher Jane who came to my room personally examined me with a careful face.

Alice looked at me with more serious faces than the teacher.

I smiled awkwardly.

I’m really okay.”

It wasn’t a lie, it was real.

I think I’m okay except for a little sore throat, but now I’m a little embarrassed since Alice made such a big fuss.

However, the health teacher told me harshly.

“What do you mean, you’re okay. It’s really a bad habit to say you’re fine when you’re unconditionally sick. Do you understand.?”

“Yes Ms. Jane.”

“I’ll make you medicine, so take a good rest. Okay?”

“Yes, thank you Ms. Jane.”

The health teacher left the room after saying that she’ll send the medicine later.

I asked Alice, who still had a serious face, playfully.

“Alice, what did you do with your classes? Didn’t the class start?”

“Is it time to be thinking about the class now?'”

“Of course I should think. Who will take notes if both you and I are both absent from class?”

“Felix will. Since you’re close to him, why don’t you ask him to lend it to you?”

“Why are we talking about him here?”

Alice seemed to still have a grudge against Felix.

I also said hastily, fearing that Alice would complain about Felix.

“Anyway, hurry up and go to Academy. I can take leave since I’m sick, but you will be absent without any reason. You’ll get your grades cut.”

“It’s okay.”

“I’m not okay with it. Go now.”

Alice and I continued to quarrel a few more times.

I was the winner.

Alice went to the class with a sulky look on her face.

Before she left, she didn’t forget to give me the remaining medicine.

Alice was always like this.

Even though she was the same age as me, she always took care of me like my sister.

Alice would have been very worried about me while I was sick, if I had not spoken so bluntly.

I was once again grateful to her.

As Alice said, I took medicine and lay down in bed.

Maybe because I slept for three days, I couldn’t sleep anymore.

My mind was wide awake.

‘Should I have just gone to the class even if Alice stopped

me?’

I only had negative thoughts because I was alone.

I tried not to think about anything as much as I could and tried to go back to sleep.

Then I heard a knock.

‘What is it? Is it auditory hallucination?’

I wasn’t mistaken. I heard a knock again.

“Who would be coming at this hour.”

It was strange, but I walked and opened the door.

“Huh?”

Felix was standing at the door.

He was a little thinner than the last time I saw him.

The jawline, which was originally sleek, became sharper, and both cheeks were slightly dug.

Perhaps because of that, his cold impression became a little sharper.

*Felix…! What is he doing here?’

I was slow to think because my head was heavy.

I asked belatedly.

“What are you doing here….?”

Felix looked down at me with an strange face, and he answered only after I asked again.

“Alice came to class.”

“Oh, I know.”

“So I came here to see if you were all right.”

He raised his big hand and touched my forehead.

It was a thoughtless act.

Were we close enough for him to behave this intimately?

Feeling a little embarrassed, I stepped back.

Fortunately, Felix did not follow.

“Is that all?”

“Yeah. That’s enough. I’ll go.”

“Wait a minute.”

I grabbed Felix’s hand quickly.

But soon I let go of his hand.

I was blaming Felix just a moment ago for being too close but it seems, he was not the only one who thought like that.

“What?”

“What about the… little boy?”

Felix closed his mouth tightly.

The silence soon gave me an answer.

“You didn’t find him?”

“Yes.”

“I see.”

I bowed slightly, and Felix pressed my forehead with his thumb.

Felix’s eyes were seen close by as his head tilted slightly towards me.

“Don’t worry too much. They say no news is good news. If anything had happened, you would have heard from me sooner.”

“…yes.”

“So don’t worry about anything and take a good rest. Didn’t you wished for getting a cold.”

“I didn’t catch cold because I wanted for it.”

“Really…?”

“Well….I wished I had cold, when I saw the little boy suffering.”

“All right?”

Felix looked still unhappy, even though I gave him the answer he wanted.

“Anyway, get back to the class soon. Sickness doesn’t affect grades, but you know it’s hard to keep up after a long absence from class, right? You have to get good grades in written classes since you’re weak in practical classes, and if you keep missing, you won’t get a better written score.”

“Ah, that’s why…”

“I’m telling you in advance, I won’t show you my notes.”

This heartless punk.

I never said a word about notes.
