"Take this slice of bread and share it between each other." He threw the block of starch across the plate. Junha carefully picked it up from it's corner and lifted it to see if it was okay.

"Jungkook, only a little white patches today. Shall we eat it?"

He took the slice from her and examined it himself. The peice was half way decorated with white cotton like patches of mold.

  He tore the bread in half and kept the decorated side to himself as he extended the other clear half to Junha.

"Eat it fast before he comes back. We won't get food later. "

Before she could see what part of the bread she got, Jungkook stuffed both his and her mouth with their peices.

"Thws dwosnw twast gwwd jwnkwk"

He blinked his eyes a few times, trying to understand what she just said.

She swallowed before talking again.

"I said, this doesn't taste good"

Her nose scrunched up and brows knitted together because of the awfully bitter and stale taste of the bread.

He got confused because he couldn't taste anything bad other than the fact that it was stale.

Then it struck him.

"Did I give her the moldy part?"

Before he could ask her anything, the door swung open.

"Done with eating? Now take these notes and complete the work. I'll be back in an hour."

He kept some books on the table and left the room. They both turned to one another and heaved a sigh.

"We should finish this fast before he comes back."

Junha grabbed the maths book and handed the chemistry book to Jungkook. A frown spread across their faces as they opened the books.

"How is an eleven year old supposed to know the allotropes of carbon? I don't even know what element number carbon is."

Jungkook let out in a whiny manner.

"Exactly! How am I supposed to know these trigonometry formulas?"

Jungkook slammed the book on the table, making Junha flinch.

"We don't have any other choice Jungkook. Let's just refer the textbooks and finish it off."

━━━ Thirty minutes later ━━━

Out of nowhere, Junha groaned with an unpleasant feeling in her stomach. She wrapped her hands around herself, clenching her stomach. She gritted her teeth as the pain started getting unbearable.

"J-jungkook, I don't feel good"

She layed down on the floor, curling up into a ball.

Jungkook's eyes widen as he recalled how he messed up by giving her, his piece of bread.

He quickly kneeled down, close to her trembling body.

"Come let's ask for help, you can't stay here. You need medical attention."

Junha shook her hand in denial.

"I won't go. If i won't finish the notes, he will beat you up-"

Before she could complete, she had a gushing feeling in her throat. The muscles in her stomach were quickly reacting. All of a sudden, she got up and turned to her side, emptying out more than what she had eaten awhile ago.

Jungkook crawled next to her and rubbed her back, helping her flush out all the toxins she has consumed from the bread.

He then got up and walked up to the door, knocking it as loud as be could.

"We need medical help. Someone please open the door."

No signs of anyone.

Jungkook turned back, watching Junha struggle as her face had completely turned pale.

He had no hopes for any help to come any time soon.

He walked back to her, pulling her fragile figure into his embrace.

"Everything would be fine. Do you want water?"

He whispered. But he didn't expect silence as a response.

He pulled away from her but her body felt like it was about to collapse, so he held on her body.

Slowly moving away the stands of hair from her face, he noticed that her eyes were completely shut and breathing slower than ever.

He slightly slapped her cheeks as he called her name. But she didn't reply.

Feeling helpless, he kneeled down on the floor along with her. By now his eyes glittering with tears.

"I am sorry Junha. I failed to take care of you."
