Chapter 23
TWICELANDDays passed and Jihyo still hasn't woken up. Nayeon and Jeongyeon is always by her side making sure her condition is stable. Jungkook and Suga as well as the others often go visits her room as well to see any progress. All of them are all worried about her.
Tzuyu felt so guilty and blamed herself but they assured her its not her fault. Jungkook was the one who talked to her that she doesn't need to worry and they'll just have to wait for Jihyo to regain her strength back.
Nayeon and Jeongyeon also told them about Jihyo's "gift" and that they should always be in a look out and not let her use it anymore no matter what situation they are in.
Everyone listened intently and agreed to them. Jihyo can't risk her life like that anymore.
...
One night, Suga was on his routine doing his nightly rounds. He walked around the ship and looked at their surroundings making sure everything is ok.
Everything seemed fine so he thought for a bit if he should check Jihyo's condition. He has been worried so much about her. He knows that Jimin and Nayeon are doing their best to take care of her, but he wished he could do more than just to rely on them and wait for the result.
He slowly walked in the corridors making sure not to make any noise because the others are already past asleep.
He quietly turned the knob on Jihyo's bedroom and take a peak before finally entering in.
Jihyo was alone inside the room. Nayeon probably went out earlier or fell asleep on her own bed because of exhaustion.
He walked closer towards the sleeping girl. It seemed that Jihyo is having a high fever.
She was shivering.
He touched her forehead and felt burned by the girl's hot temperature. He quickly took action and got some wet cloth and wiped Jihyo's head with it and put the wet cloth in her forehead to cool her down.
On her bed side was a medicine that Jimin made earlier. He took the bottle and lifted Jihyo's body up to make her drink it.
His first attempt was a failure because Jihyo ended up coughing the medicine out.
He sighed. This can't be. Jihyo will not regain her strength immediately if she can't drink the medicine.
He carefully thought on what he could do. Finally with his smart brain, he thought of something. But he bit his lips and hesitated for a while. Should he do it?
Jihyo is in a critical condition.
He shook his hesitations away and did what he was thinking. He took the bottle of medicine and drank it. And then, he leaned over to Jihyo transfering the medicine to her using his mouth very slowly.
He wasn't sure about it but it did work. Jihyo manage to "drink" it. He smiled at his success but later on blushed so hard.
It wasn't the first time their lips met. He did it again to save her life.
While Jihyo was in his arms, he can't help but to look at her beautiful face. She may not be feeling too well but still her beauty is outstanding. He traced his fingers in her face and admired her.
If only she wasn't so selfless then she wouldn't be in this condition. But her kind heart was what made her more attractive. He thought.
Slowly, he put her back to her bed and tucked her in.
Then just on time, Nayeon came back. She was a little bit drowsy with her lack of sleep.
He was in great luck that it was Nayeon and not Jeongyeon. The girl forbade every guy entering Jihyo's room alone.
"Suga?" She was surprised to see him. Then she noticed the cloth in Jihyo's forehead.
"What happened is she ok?" She quickly rushed towards him.
"She's fine. She just had a fever." He said. "I made her drink the medicine so she should be fine now." He added while walking out of the room.
Nayeon quickly checked her. But then she wondered, how did Suga did it? She herself can't make Jihyo drink properly unless she used her water bending skills to do it.
....
The next day, Nayeon has her head lying on Jihyo's bed when she felt her moved.
She looked up and saw her finally opening her eyes.
She was too happy that she was speechless.
"Unnie?" Jihyo was the one who broke the silence between them. She was confused as to how she ended up with her.
"Jihyo! You're finally awake!" She yelled and hugged the younger tight.
As soon as Jeongyeon heard her voice, she came running over to them and joined the hug.
"I'm so happy you're finally awake." Jeongyeon said.
Soon they all filled her room excited to see her well.
"Jihyo-ya!" Jhope shouted with energy.
"Keep it down!" Jin scolded him. "You're too loud.
Tzuyu and Chae was also at her side.
They told her what happened and she nodded in every detail.
Soon, Jeongyeon and Nayeon started scolding her.
"You young lady had us worried so much. Don't ever EVER use that power of yours ever again." Jeongyeon stated.
"If its worth risking your life, you cannot do it. We all agreed to it. Whatever happens, you are not to use it again." Nayeon said.
"We don't want to lose you." She added and hugged her tight.
