Through my blurry vision, I saw a familiar face.

"...Keun Sejin?"

"You seem to have a fever."

I wasn't sure, but Keun Sejin looked like he was freaking out.

I cleared my throat a few times before answering.

"...Cough, uh. I took my medicine."

"It's not just about taking medicine... Hey, go to the hospital. Do you want me to call the agency?"

"...It's not a serious illness... It's fine. It's the fatigue."

Keun Sejin clicked his tongue.

"You can get better quickly, so what are you suffering for? Just take a shot. Get a lot of prescription pills."

"..."

It was troublesome, but honestly, it was a bit tempting.

'The agency can do that much.'

Still, it was an affiliate of a large company, so there was an expectation that they would deal with industrial hazards of this level.

Then I realized the current situation.

"Ah... Manager hyung is taking a break today."

"You can call a taxi. Just dress casually."

"..."

Taxis were in the options.

I watched Keun Sejin finish the phone call and managed to speak out my rational doubts.

"But why are you here?"

"I was stopping by on my way to the agency because I needed to get something. It's near my house."

You have something to get from the agency?

"What is it that you get?"

"Is that important now? That's enough, change your clothes. The taxi will come soon."

"...Yeah."

I slowly got up, threw off my sweaty shirt, and put on an ordinary hoodie. It was chilly, so I didn't feel hot.

"Do you need help?"

"I am already done."

I could just go ahead like this. If I just wore a mask to cover my face...

"Come on, wear this."

"..."

He noticed it like a ghost. I wore the mask and acknowledged it obediently.

"Thank you."

"If you understand, be nice to me."

Keun Sejin shook his head and checked his smartphone.

"Ah, it says the taxi is nearby. Let's go down."

"Yeah. Can it go to the front door?"

"I called it over there. Follow me."

"...?"

Looking at him, it felt like he was going to go with me instead of just seeing me off.

"I'll just go by myself."

"Imagine what kind of article will come out if you collapse while going out alone."

"..."

I accepted defeat.

"Let's go."

"Yes."

I shut my mouth, followed Keun Sejin down, and took a taxi.
