Author's Note: So last night was the Joe Nichols concert. I held my nephew as he slept, but that's not the point of this whole thing. I ended up cutting my finger on the bathroom stall at the Mexican restaurant two hours before! The liquid bandage they gave me didn't help, so what did I do when I got home last night? I superglued it. Superglue and duct tape are the two things that can fix almost anything in this world. Lord knows I superglued my cuts more than once. It's a staple in my first aid kit.

Jimin felt awful. Her head throbbed and she couldn't breathe. She had a terrible cough that sounded like she was dying. The sinus infection had hit hard and fast. She'd had a meeting the day before and had noticed her throat was raw. The next morning she had woken up and bam! she felt like dying.

She had been determined to get up and go to work. Like a normal Korean, she'd put on a mask and walked to work like nothing was wrong. She'd cancelled her morning meetings in hopes the medicine she had taken would absolve her symptoms. By two o'clock when she was supposed to meet Woo Bin and Yi Jeong, nothing had changed. They had tried I get her to go home, but she hadn't listened.

Now she wished she had. She had the lights turned off and had had a meeting that way. She felt like death warmed over. Her skin was clammy and pallid and she wasn't hungry. She kept hydrated but as far as food went, she refused it every time. Her secretary had stopped asking if she wanted to eat and had just started bringing water.

She was currently sitting at her desk with her head in her hands trying not to burst out in tears. Her head hurt so bad that it seemed like it would explode at any moment. Luckily her noon meeting had been cancelled. She now had a two hour window to act like she was a living human being before she was supposed to meet Won, Woo Bin, and Yi Jeong.

There was a knock at the door and her secretary poked his head in. Jimin didn't hear what he said, but someone had come in behind him. She could barely make out who it was.

Young Do walked through the familiar doors and stopped. Jimin looked awful sitting slouched over, she had her head in her hands and looked to be shivering. He turned to the secretary and demanded a first aid kit.

Impatiently he stalked forward and spun the chair around. He had to catch Jimin before she keeled over. She was burning up; that he could feel through her clothes. There was a fine sheen of sweat that covered her skin and was slowly dampening her clothes.

The secretary returned and Young Do ripped into the box. He pulled out the thermometer and shoved it into her mouth. Seconds later the stupid thing beeped. 38.4 degrees Celsius (101.2 F to those who aren't on the metric system). The woman was seriously sick.

Without a word, he jerked her into his arms and started out the office door. No one in the waiting room said a word as he stalked past them. He didn't even stop when he ran into Won, Woo Bin, and Yi Jeong. They shared a brief look, and the three seemed to accept what was going on.

"I called the front desk. They have a room readied on the fourteenth floor," the secretary said.

"No, she'll rest at my place so I can monitor her," Young Do snipped.

The secretary didn't argue. He was on the phone immediately.

Young Do stepped off the elevator one floor down and turned left. He kicked the door when he came to it, and a few seconds later his mother opened it. She stared at him as he brushed by. The next thing he heard were pots and pans rattling.

When he was satisfied that she was as comfortable as she was going to be, he took her shoes and left the room. He smelled porridge as soon as he entered the kitchen. His mother was separating batches into small bowls.

"How is she?" she asked.

"Sick," he replied. "The idiot doesn't know how to stop and rest."

"She's always been that way. Remember that match when she was sixteen? She trained hard for that. You were only five at the time so you might not."

"I actually do. I remember how sweaty she was one night when she came over to babysit. That was the time she came in third in the national competition."

"She has always been very driven." Kyung Ran patted his shoulder. "I have to go to work. Make sure she eats something when she wakes up."

When she shut the door, Young Do realized he was alone in the house with Jimin. She had taken care of him when he had been sick as a child, and now it was his turn to return the favor.

He was cleaning up his mother's mess when a phone rang. It wasn't his because his ringtone wasn't anything GOT7. He went in search and found that it was Jimin's. He pulled it out of her bag that he luckily remembered to grab and checked caller ID. It was Yi Jeong.

"Hello?" he said.

"Give me your room number. Woo Bin is going to bring by some extra clothes. And notice I didn't ask your permission to have it. We'll handle all the meetings until she gets well," Yi Jeong stated without even a greeting.

Young Do rattled off his room number then put the phone back where he found it and went back to the kitchen to clean.

Jimin knew she wasn't in her room. The sheets felt completely different and the pillow was way too soft. She must have passed out somewhere and was taken captive. But upon inspecting the room, she realized she hadn't been kidnapped at all.

She tossed the blanket off her and realized someone had changed her clothes. Annoyed, she thought it had been Young Do but remembered that Kyung Ran was also living in the house. Even though she had been out of Young Do's life for a few years, she was still a proper Korean woman. She would have been the one to change her clothes.

Checking her phone, she realized that she had been sleeping for nearly two days. That included the day her noon meeting had been cancelled. So technically it was going on the third day since it was midnight. Her stomach rumbled and she figured she'd better get something to eat since it had been three days since she had eaten.

Jimin ventured out into the main part of the room. She had forgotten that the Choi family lived in one of the bigger rooms in the hotel. The penthouse had been converted to the office spaces because it would house the seven people in control. All the staff's offices were on the first floor so it didn't take up too much space.

She walked into the kitchen and found a note on the fridge from Kyung Ran making sure she (Jimin) ate when she woke up. Laughing, Jimin pulled out the container and pulled the lid off it. She rummaged around in the drawers for a spoon then grabbed a drink from the fridge while there was still thirty seconds left on the clock. When it beeped, she pulled it out and sat at the island.

A door down the hallway opened. The smell of fog and shampoo hit her before she saw Young do padding down the hallway. She watched him as she ate and realized he wasn't the little kid she had babysat fourteen years ago. He was now a man, and he looked it. She figured he didn't think she'd be sitting in the kitchen because his shirt was draped across the back of the couch. As it was, he showed off his six pack for the world to see.

The spoon just happened to be hanging out of her mouth when he looked up and finally realized she was sitting there and he was shirtless. Normal men would be shocked, but Young Do took his precious time to dry off then put his shirt on. She wasn't fazed in the slightest. She had stayed with Woo Bin before, and he had been the same way.

"How long have you been up?" he asked as he rummaged in the fridge.

"About twenty minutes I think. Next time you can do without the theatrics," she replied.

"I wasn't expecting you to be up. I definitely wasn't expecting you to be eating. I thought I was going to have a fight on my hands."

"I haven't eaten in three days."

"When was the last time you ate?"

"Thursday morning. I skipped breakfast and dinner, and haven't eaten since because I hurt so badly."

"That's not healthy."

She waved her spoon around in a whatever motion. Her attention was caught on something. "What is that bag?"

Young Do followed the metal spoon to the black bag lying beside the couch. "That is yours. Yi Jeong dropped it off on his way to a meeting with Kim Won and a couple of other big names you've contacted to work on this expansion. He said not to wake you and keep you here until Monday. It's hard to argue with him."

Jimin left her spot and went over to her bag. "That's because Yi Jeong is friends with Goo Jun Pyo and has to be an excellent debater to get anything done. I can't even win against him."

She rummaged through the bag for a minute until she pulled out a tablet. She turned it on and flipped through whatever she found on there. A curse came from her and she disappeared into his bedroom only to return with her phone.

"Hey, So Yi Jeong! What is your problem? Why didn't you add the minutes of the meeting and what you had decided?" Young Do laughed at the serious look on her face. She was mad at her friend. "I'm gone two days and you lose all sense of intelligence. You know that I double check everything."

The phone was on speaker so he could hear the entire exchange. "You know why I didn't add everything. You work so much that you forget to take care of yourself. You even did that while working with me."

"I never worked with you because you were always with Ga Eul or stuck in your studio. You had no time for the outside world. I'm surprised you even had a girlfriend. Can you even perform?'

Young Do couldn't help the laugh that bubbled up. He dropped his head to his arm on the table and laughed until he cried. But the conversation continued.

"Why do you guys always attack my manhood? I am completely healthy. I do have two children while you have none."

Jimin made a face at the phone. "It's not that I don't want kids, I just don't have the time. I am running a company at the moment. But that's not the point. Give me the rest of the information before I pry it out of your hands. I'm not afraid of Eri or Ga Eul. I will get what I want."

"You and Eri have had it out before."

"And do you remember who won?'

"You cheated, and you know it. You embarrassed the fire out of Woo Bin and he gave you what you wanted. He's still a bit bitter about that."

"Just because I told the story about Woo Bin losing his swimming shorts while jet skiing doesn't mean I was mean. He even laughed at it."

"He laughs at everything."

She was getting flustered. "I still have some stories on you. Let's not forget who got drunk and ended up naked covered in clay on his studio floor. Now should I tell Ga Eul that story, or are you going to give me my information."

Yi Jeong muttered under his breath as Jimin winked at Young Do. She was feisty and about to get her way. He heard a clicking in the background followed by a whooshing. "Fine. I just sent everything to you."

Jimin hit the power button. "Don't you hang up until I check." She bit her lower lip as she checked her email. "You got lucky, So Yi Jeong. I was going to have to come through the phone."

"That would be a sight to see. Choi Young Do, don't let her come upstairs until she feels better. We're sending a present tomorrow morning."

The call ended abruptly. Annoyed, Jimin slammed the phone down on the countertop. She looked over the notes that had been sent to her, her bottom lip stuck between her teeth and hair falling in her face. At that moment Young Do knew that any guy who was attracted to her would die. He was going to have to figure out a way to get her to like him in return. Maybe he could accomplish that in the next two days before they went back to their normal lives.
