The New Fox

After Kai said those words, he burst into another coughing fit, making Lina run to where he was and pat his back. 

There, she felt how hot Kai's body was. 

Not figuratively—although that was also true.

But literally. 

He was literally hot. 

"Wait, you're hot," Lina said, making the others surprised. 

Kai cleared his throat and went to the bench, sitting before sipping on the hot water he had packed in a thermos. 

"I'm fine," he said as his teammates surrounded him. 

Bao, along with the second-string team, also went to where he was, looking at him with amazement. 

"Kai!" Bao exclaimed. "You're here." 

Kai nodded and massaged his throat. "Yeah," he said. "I'm sorry I didn't contact you. My grandma confiscated my phone and said that it was the reason why I got sick." 

"You're...sick," Yuze said, a small smile forming on his face. 

Kun nudged him. "Why do you look happy that he's sick?"
