[06:12] you can’t say you didn’t see this coming. at the beginning of pretty much every spring since you could remember, you got sick. and maybe it was the extra stress you’d been feeling lately or the fact that you had recently visited a daycare with a bunch of little kids with runny noses everywhere but your annual sickness had finally hit and it had hit hard. you had already texted your boss saying that you couldn’t make it in today seeing as you’d been awake for about an hour now nursing a migraine. you finally got the strength to get up and get a glass of water, but as you stumbled to the door you stubbed your toe and sharply inhaled, causing you to have a coughing fit. any attempt to be quiet was quickly forgotten as you struggled to catch your breath, the sudden noise causing your boyfriend minhyuk to wake up.

“babe? are you okay?”

“yeah” cough “i’m” cough “just going” cough “to get” cough “some water” cough

he had already gotten out of bed and walked over to you by the time you managed to get that sentence out. “okay just making sure because you sound pretty bad” he picked you up and started walking back over towards the bed.

“hey! put me down i wanted to get some water!”

he put you down and placed his hands on either side of your head, leaned in close and whispered “then let me get it for you” 

"fine”

he came back with a piece of toast, cold medicine, and a big glass of water. he set the medicine down on the bedside table and handed you the toast and water as he sat down next to you. “here, you can’t take this medicine on an empty stomach”

“thanks, mom”

“you’re welcome, thick-skull McStubborn-Pants”

“hey!” you playfully hit his arm and started to giggle but ended up having another coughing fit. minhyuk gently pat your back until it passed.

“so just so i have it straight, you’re 100% okay?”

you looked up at him through lazy eyelids and a weak, dopey smile. “never better.”

he laughed as he started to pour some of the medicine into a small clear measuring cup. “bottoms up babe”

when you set the cup back down you saw that it was already 07:00. “hey! you should start getting ready, don’t you have to leave for work in like 30 minutes?”

“maybe. or maybe i called in sick so i could stay home with you. the details are fuzzy, really.”

“lee minhyuk! i am an adult i can care for myself thank you very much!”

“alright whatever you say” he laid you both down and pulled you into his chest. he started to slowly rub your back as the medicine had already begun to make you drowsy. you woke up again around noon feeling a little better, still in minhyuk’s arms. you looked up and smiled at him. “lunch?”

he made you both some soup for lunch and spent the rest of the day inside with you watching movies, playing games, and cuddling. maybe taking a sick day wasn’t such a bad idea after all.
