Hello! If you feel inspired can you write about the RFA+V & Saeran trying new food like in a new restaurant or while on vacation abroad, and they catch a bad stomach flu. So how would the RFA deal with MC and the other way around what kind of sick person are the RFA? I know it's kind of a weird request but experiences like that really strengthen relationships so... ⊂(´• ω •`⊂) Thanks beforehand! I love you writing
I have been taking forever I am so sorryThank you for the request and compliment! And yeah I totally agree, taking care of someone when they’re sick is such a strong relationship builder…or breaker lololThere are few parts to this ask so it might be formated a lil weird but bare with me
I hope you enjoy (ง♥ᨓ♥)ง
Yoosung
Taking care of you:
No MC don’t get out of bed just rest!
He has the laptop out in front of you so you can entertain yourself. 
Brought you tons of blankets
He’s terrified of getting sick though, so he’s in and out of the room
He keeps bringing you orange juice 
It’s too much acid. It makes you throw up, causing Yoosung to almost throw up.
“Yoosung?? Are you alright?”
Him, refusing to look at you or the trash can of vomit: “Yeah MC I-I’m fine. I’m just gonna..go over far away for a few mins..” He ran out of the room
After about an hour he comes back in, looking better than when he ran out earlier. 
When he’s sick:
He looks like he’s dying
He doesn’t move from bed
He tries to muster up the energy to play LOLOL but you reprimand him and make him rest more
He’s shamelessly needy when he’s sick
“MC can I have this?” “MC…I feel so gross.” “MCCCCCCCC, hellllllp”
But you get breaks when he passes out for a few hours at a time, or he’ll get distracted from how gross he feels by watching Let’s Plays. 
Jaehee
Taking care of you:
She follows all the online instructions
The room temp is changed to be the perfect temp for counteracting your illness
You’re positioned just right among a hundred pillows so you’re in the most ergonomic position to prevent you from puking on everything
She calls room service to request only nutritious meals to help get you back on track
She also calls the restaurant you two ate at and reports to them that you seem to have gotten sick from the food there, managing to get a gift card for the place as an apology.
If she thinks you’re about to up heave your guts she just looks away and crinkles her nose a bit
She’s basically the bedside angel nurse you never thought you’d deserve
When She’s sick:
She insists she can take care of herself
But you argue that she’ll get better faster if she just lets you take care of her, and the faster she gets better the faster you two can go back to enjoying your vacation
She tries to sleep as much as possible because she knows her immune system works faster then
But you remind her she shouldn’t force herself to sleep through her vacation
You get her vitamins and tea, and you two just sit on the bed or couch and watch the Cooking network because Jaehee loves watching pastries getting decorated 
Who doesn’t tbh
Zen
Taking care of you:
He waits on you hand and foot
Even when you don’t need, or even want, something, he brings it
Blankets, vitamins, water, orange juice, this weird herbal drink he found at the market that says it’s good for you, snacks, you name it
He cuddles with you despite being sick too sense he has the immune system of a beast
You two just sit around and watch movies all day while you nap on and off
He still thinks you’re cute, with your flushed face and red eyes and that adorable drippy nose
Haha just kidding he is not a fan of you being sick but he does think your sneezes are adorable and the way your eyes flutter when you first wake up from one of your naps is pretty damn adorable
When you barf…he is a little disenchanted but he knows it isn’t your fault so he just holds your hair and rubs your back
When he is sick:
He refuses to sit still and stay in the room
“Come on MC we have sights to see”
“But Zen you’re sick!”
“I don’t feel so hot but I can keep myself from throwing up at least so come on”
If he does vomit he grabs the nearest trash can and you’d hold his ponytail back
And cut it off
No just hold it
He insists he’d feel too awful if you guys sat around during a vacation just cause he has the stomach bug
And you insist you feel awful that he feels awful for being sick
You guys just go back and forth until you give up and resolve to just keep an eye on him and not stray too far from the hotel in case it gets worse
By the next morning he claims he feels better just from being with you all day
Jumin
When you’re sick:
He calls the best local doctor in the area
All the high class foreign vitamins 
The best Korean vitamins are in express mail on their way to you guys
The restaurant is under new management within the hour because how dare they let this happen
Jumin please it isn’t their fault
You’re resting in bed and he’s by your side, pumped with antibiotics to keep him from getting sick because he refuses to leave you alone
He extends the vacation by a week to make up for any lost time spent in bed and sick
When he’s sick:
Very similar to the steps from when you were sick
You try to make the phone calls for him but he says he’s fine to do it and that you should at least have fun on your vacation
He tries to plan for a trusted tour guide to take you around so you can at least enjoy yourself
But you refuse, saying you’d much rather be with him
He tries to get you to leave so you won’t be at risk for catching whatever he has but you’re persistent
And despite him having all the best medicine and care already you do your best
You bring him warm or cold towelettes for his forehead when his temperature drops or spikes
You brush his hair back and do your best to hold his bangs back while he pukes
He apologizes for being so ‘disheveled’
You run to a local bookstore and find some interesting reads for him to entertain himself with while relaxing
Eventually you just snuggle up to him and nap while he does.
Seven
When you’re sick
First thing he does is dress as a sexy nurse
But then he gets serious…ironically serious considering his outfit
He buys some medicine and vitamins, uses the power of internet to get a good read on what may be ailing you
He knows you don’t feel like eating but insists you eat a small meal here and there to get some nutrients in you
He gets lots of bendy straws for you to drink water, because bendy straws make everything better.
You say the word and he is doing whatever you need or getting whatever you want in an instant
He’s your one and only bedside nurse
When he’s sick
“MC I’m fine”
“You threw up twice in an hour”
“I’m fi-”
You take the PhD Pepper out of his hand “No more of this for now” 
Cue you hiding all the really acidic and fatty foods he brought along despite his whining
He feels guilty doing work on vacation but you assure him that it’s ok since he can’t do much but sit at his computer anyways.
Besides, if he finishes some work now you two can have fun when you’re back home
He takes a lot of breaks though where you two just snuggle
After a while he hints that he has the sexy nurse outfit for whatever reason
You tell him you’ll put it on when he feels better.
Getting him all riled up while he’s sick is not on your to do list
He’s sad, but he understands
And while he hides most of it behinds jokes, he really appreciates you 
Even the part of you refusing to wear the sexy nurse outfit
Saeran
When you’re sick
He’s a little annoyed. Not at you because he knows you didn’t choose this, but with the situation as a whole.
But you can tell he’s irritated and that either irritates you, or makes you feel a little guilty.
Cue slight strain on relationship here
But after an hour or two he realizes instead of being salty he could be helping you feel better and he does
He’s not good at it, but he tries.
He gets you water and some vitamins he’s familiar with, and tries to find things for you to entertain yourself.
After a while he realizes you’re happy with the two of you just lounging around and talking….and that makes him happy too.
Maybe this isn’t such a bad vacation. He wasn’t super excited to go outside into tourist land anyways.
Then you started puking and he had to hold your hair back
Ok no still kind of bad vacation
But even a bad vacation with you is an okay one in his eyes
When he’s sick
He’s just overtired and feeling icky and therefore a little more snappy than usual
You try getting him to eat but he refuses because his stomach hurts
After almost a whole day you bring in a tray of easy to digest foods and try getting him to eat once again
“No.” He glares at you and turns his back as he lays down.
You glare daggers into the back of his head.
“Saeran, you’re going to eat something or so help me god.” He turns to look at you, a challenging look in his eye. He isn’t used to you being assertive but he’s not going to give i-
You’re still glaring at him. Dead. In. The. Eyes.
“Alright” He grumbles as he takes the tray
At first he’s just moving things around with a spoon
But eventually he starts picking at things and actually eating
And he even feels a little better
Weird. It’s like being overtired, sick, and hungry only made things worse who would have guessed certainly not MC
You notice he’s sweating and grab a cold towel and start washing his forehead
“What are you doing”
“Does this not feel good?”
“No no.. it does. Thanks.” He looks away as you tilt his face to get all the drops and brush back his sweat matted hair. 
Once he’s freshened up a little more you just cuddle him.
“MC…”
“Yeah?”
“Thank you.” 
V
When you’re sick
Protective Daddy Mode Activated
Much like the others he just takes care of you
And even when you whine he doesn’t mind, he understands you don’t feel well
He does anything he can to help
He does think it’s for the best that you two don’t cuddle or kiss though, cause if he catches it too then you’re both screwed
He even wears a germ mask
But he’s cute as fuck so you don’t mind
He brings you tea and water constantly, along with small nutritious meals
He gets tourist books and rearranges your schedule so you two can optimize the time you have once you feel better
The vomiting doesn’t phase him, he just holds your hair, rubs your back, and mutters encouraging, albeit strange, things along the way
“That’s it MC, get it all out” “You’ll feel better soon” “I’ll be here with you, just relax and do what you need”
Thanks V, the vomit was needing that encouragment
When he’s sick
He is bedridden
Boy will not move
He suddenly seems so fragile
You kind of think he’s dying.
But he assures you he is fine and tries to get you to go out and have fun without him
What is with these boys not understanding you’re not leaving them
Whenever you bring him something he sings praise about how kind you are to him, and how he doesn’t deserve you.
As much as he wants to be near you, he can’t risk getting you sick because ‘he’d be unable to deal with the guilt’ so he banishes you to the living room while he sleeps.
You feel bad but he absolutely refuses anything that involves you doing something for him more strenuous than making a cup of tea.
Once he feels better a couple days later he promises to make it up to you, despite you saying he has nothing to make up for.

Corn oil: an important warning about this vegetable oil
Cooking food is easily damaged by high temperatures. Therefore, the cooking oil you choose must be stable enough to not undergo chemical changes in high temperature environments. Polyunsaturated vegetable oils (including corn oil, rapeseed oil and soybean oil) can form oxidized cholesterol, which can adversely affect your health. Learn about the misunderstanding of using corn oil as a cooking oil and whether it has other beneficial uses?
What is corn oil?
Corn oil is a fat extracted from corn germ and its main use is cooking. It is also a major ingredient in margarine and other processed foods. Corn is also one of the raw materials for biodiesel. Between 2012 and 2014, non-food grade (NFG) corn oil used to produce biodiesel increased significantly. This oil has other industrial uses. Corn oil is generally cheaper than other vegetable oils, and one of the main factors is that the United States will provide generous government subsidies for corn cultivation . In the United States, corn was one of the most subsidized crops, with more than $77 billion received from the US government between 1995 and 2010 alone. As a result, it is not surprising that unhealthy foods, such as those containing corn oil and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), are sold at much lower prices than healthy foods. I think the problem of using corn oil and other vegetable oils as cooking oil is not only that the oxidized cholesterol they cause can significantly increase your risk of coronary heart disease, but also that these vegetable oils contain a lot of omega-6 fat, which can cause ω in your body. -6 Fat and omega-3 fat are out of balance. According to reports, the ratio of omega-6 fat to omega-3 fat in corn oil is as high as 49:1, far from the ideal ratio of 1:1! The standard American diet also contains too much omega-6 fat, and the two fat ratios are severely dysregulated, which may increase your risk of multiple degenerative diseases.
Use of corn oil
In addition to being a less than ideal cooking oil, corn oil has many industrial uses, including as an additive to soaps, ointments, paints, inks, textiles and pesticides. Sometimes it is also used as a carrier for drug molecules in pharmaceutical products. Corn oil can also be used as a hair care product. It is said to contain 54% omega-6 fat and 28% omega-9 fat, which locks moisture inside the hair, making the hair stronger and moisturized. Other benefits include moisturizing hair follicles, nourishing the scalp, preventing dry hair and hair loss, accelerating hair growth and preventing external damage. Yahoo! Voices highlights the various home uses of corn oil, including: Keep your sink clean and fresh – use a soft rag to apply corn oil to the sink. Stickers for cleaning wooden surfaces  – use corn oil to wipe the areas where the stickers stick. Wait a moment until the sticker is softened and can be easily torn off. Soften the baseball glove  – Wipe the palm of the glove with corn oil and fold the glove around the baseball and secure it with a rubber band. Place the gloves between the mattresses and let them rest for one night. Clean stains on wooden furniture  – Pour corn oil onto a soft rag, rub a little cigarette or cigar ash, and gently wipe the area where white spots and watermarks appear until you wipe it clean. Apply to snow shovel  – Apply corn oil to the snow shovel to prevent snow from sticking.
Corn oil ingredients
Corn oil contains 12.7% monounsaturated fat, 58.7% polyunsaturated fat, and 24.2% saturated fat. An important issue you should know about corn oil is that more than 90% of corn and soybeans, which are the two most common food ingredients, are grown using genetically modified (GM) seeds. A study confirms that three genetically modified maize varieties produced by biotech company Monsanto are toxic, the researchers found, “ this is the first time in history. ” The “ commercialization of genetically modified organisms is neither healthy nor appropriate.” For each of these three genetically modified corns, each time it causes problems in the kidneys and liver (the main organ that responds to chemical food poisoning). "
Corn oil benefits
Let's focus on the inherent benefits of corn, which contains more sugar than other vegetables; but it contains fewer calories than wheat and rice. Corn is rich in flavonoids and lutein, a combination of these two ingredients that maintains healthy mucous membranes, skin and vision. Corn also contains vitamin A, thiamine and vitamin B6. StyleCraze.com analyzed the nutrient composition of corn in detail, pointing out that although corn is not rich in nutrients, it contains a lot of water and dietary fiber. Now, it's important to know if your favorite corn is organic or genetically modified. At the same time, you need to know whether farmers who sell sweet corn in the market and on the roads use pesticides or other chemicals. If it does, please do not buy.
How to make corn oil
Currently, most of the corn oil sold on the market is first pressed by a press and then solvent extracted using hexane or 2-methylpentane (or isohexane). After evaporating from the corn oil, the solution is returned to its original state and put back into service. After pressing, the corn oil is degummed and/or alkali treated to remove the phospholipids. In addition, the alkali treatment neutralizes the free fatty acids and bleaches the oil. The final step in refining is dewaxing and deodorization by steam distillation. Some professional cooking oil manufacturers also produce unrefined mechanically pressed corn oil. The oil thus extracted is more expensive because it has a lower yield and a smaller market share than the combination of the press and the solvent.
How does corn oil work?
Corn, a common cooking oil, has been touted by people, but I still don't recommend it because of oxidation and other problems. But this does not hinder its other practical uses, such as skin conditioning, hot oil massage, and as a base oil for aromatherapy, for example, it can be used as a base oil for tea tree oil or rose essential oil. Mix one tablespoon of corn oil with two drops of tea tree oil, apply to the hair, wait 15 minutes, then rinse with shampoo. This way, you can have both the moisturizing effect of corn oil and the healing power of essential oils.
Is corn oil safe?
People have touted corn oil and other polyunsaturated vegetable oils as " healthy " cooking oils, which have led to a surge in sales and other low-fat fats, but in fact, saturated fats do not cause heart disease. On the contrary, it can also As a health supplement in your daily diet. In addition to the oxidized oil hazards discussed in Section 1, there are many problems with corn oil and these vegetable oils, including: In the United States, most vegetable oils are made from genetically modified crops that contain a variety of toxins, such as glyphosate and Bt toxin found in genetically modified corn and soybeans. They also go through complex processing processes that can lead to a range of adverse health consequences. If you want to be healthy, it is best to eat corn directly. It contains vitamin A, lutein, and is rich in fiber, which can bring you great health benefits. But be aware that your intake should be controlled to a certain extent because corn contains more sugar than other vegetables.
Corn oil side effects
Perhaps the worst food you can eat is food made from polyunsaturated vegetable oils such as corn oil. If oxidized cholesterol enters your body, it can cause serious problems because it converts beneficial cholesterol into harmful cholesterol, which directly causes vascular disease. Hydrogenated oil increases your risk of breast cancer and heart disease. If you want a cooking oil that won't be affected by the heat, my advice is still coconut oil. Read the full article
