Beomgyu, Taehyun & TXT - Christmas Stomach Flu - Part 2

Soobin had his hands full. A sick hyung, two sick dongsaengs, and a Christmas Day performance scheduled in just two days. It wasnt that there was truly ever an ideal time for something like this to happen, but the timing of this couldn’t have been worse.

*~*~*~*~*~

It had hit Taehyun like a bus. He had been cleaning up his room when the nausea suddenly kicked in, making it to the washroom to be sick without a second to spare.

Soobin sat next to him, gently rubbing his back the same way he had for Yeonjun earlier that day.

“I shared food with Yeonjun-hyung last night” Taehyun managed to get out between sobs. The sudden onset of his illness had startled him enough to bring him to tears. He had just about caught his breath when he was hit with another wave of nausea.

“I know you did. It’s okay, you couldn’t have known. Just let it out” Soobin replied softly. Once he was certain that Taehyun was finished he handed him a wet cloth to wipe his face.

“Hyung, I just want to sleep” Taehyun sighed, closing the toilet seat and resting his head on the lid.

“Fair enough” Soobin replied. “But let’s get you to bed first.”

*~*~*~*~*~

Beomgyu made it a few more hours but still wasn’t able to avoid the inevitable.

Soobin had just flipped on his TV and flopped down on his bed, ready for a moment of relative calm after sitting with Yeonjun through his third round of vomiting for the day. His breath hitched when he heard a soft knock at the door, quickly standing up to open it and revealing a very sickly looking Beomgyu.

“Sorry to bug you hyung” Beomgyu started awkwardly, “but I think I’m running a bit of a fever.”

Soobin immediately ushered Beomgyu inside, sitting him at the edge of his bed before feeling his cheeks and forehead with the back of his hand.

“Oh Gyu, I think this is more than a bit of a fever. You’re burning” Soobin replied, momentarily stepping out of his room and returning with a thermometer.

“How is your stomach feeling?” Soobin asked after he slipped the thermometer under Beomgyu’s tongue. Beomgyu shook his hand in a “so-so” motion. After a minute the thermometer beeped. Soobin carefully pulled it out of Beomgyu’s mouth and glanced at the reading.

“You’re running a good deal higher than Yeonjun and a Taehyun” he said, resting his hand against Beomgyu’s forehead again out of sheer surprise. Soobin knew that Beomgyu had felt warm to the touch but he hadn’t expected his temperature to be quite so high.

“Do you want to go straight to bed? Or should we make a pit stop in the washroom?” Soobin asked as Beomgyu absentmindedly rubbed his midsection.

“Washroom I think” Beomgyu replied with an exaggerated sigh. “I feel kind of nauseous.”

*~*~*~*~*~

The apartment was dark and quiet by the time Soobin got Taehyun comfortable on the couch after another bout of vomiting.

“What’s going on with the performance?” Taehyun asked weakly.

Truth be told, Soobin hadn’t been able to stop thinking about the impending Christmas Day performance since the moment that Yeonjun had woken up looking exceptionally green that morning. He had immediately texted management to let them know that Yeonjun was down for the count, followed by two more texts with updates when Taehyun and Beomgyu were taken out of commission as well.

“Don’t worry about that, Tae” Soobin responded as he took a seat at the end of the couch, doing his best not to jostle Taehyun too much.

Taehyun rolled his eyes at that. “They’re canceling, aren’t they?” The frustration he was feeling was evident in his voice.

“Honestly, yeah, probably” Soobin replied, bracing himself for the fallout. “I’m just waiting on confirmation from management.

“It’s just a few songs. We could have done it” Taehyun started but Soobin cut in quickly.

“None of you are in any condition to be out of bed let alone on stage” Soobin said firmly.

“What if we have the doctor come and run us some IVs? We can restore our fluids and that should be enough to get us through the performance at least” Taehyun continued to push back.

“This isn’t up for debate, Taehyun” Soobin’s tone left no room to argue. “You haven’t been able to keep anything down today, nor have Yeonjun or Beomgyu. And frankly I haven’t even been able to get Beomgyu’s temp under 39.5°. So no, there won’t be a performance.”

Taehyun nodded, conceding defeat.

“I’m sorry you’re feeling sick” Soobin said with a sad smile. “You know MOA will understand though. They just want what’s best for us, and that means for you to get some rest.”

*~*~*~*~*~

The worst had passed by the time Christmas morning rolled around but Yeonjun, Beomgyu, and Taehyun were all still sporting low grade fevers and hadn’t yet gotten their strength back.

“How did you and Soobin-hyung not get sick?” Beomgyu mumbled around the thermometer that Hueningkai had just stuck in his mouth.

“We didn’t swap spit with Yeonjun-hyung” Hueningkai replied in a very matter-of-fact tone that made Soobin chuckle.

“Next time I won’t share anything and you all can go without” Yeonjun called from his room, his voice still hoarse and weak.

“Hey, no yelling, rest your voice” Soobin admonished as he popped into Yeonjun’s doorway. Yeonjun stuck his tongue out at Soobin before gesturing for him to come in and close the door. Soobin followed his instructions and entered, taking a seat at the edge of the bed.

“I’m really sorry for getting Gyu and Hyunnie sick” he said sadly. “And for the performance getting cancelled.”

“Hyung, stop apologizing. Nobody is at fault here. There will be other performances, just focus on getting back on your feet” Soobin replied. Yeonjun nodded as he laid back down.

Soobin went to leave him to sleep but turned around to add one final thought.

“For what it’s worth, hyung, I think this is our first time since debut that we haven’t had to work on Christmas. There are worse things in the world.”

Yeonjun smirked at that. “Merry Christmas, Soobin” he replied. “Enjoy your day off.”

Finding My Safe Space

(Regressed, Sick Taehyun)

Tw: angst, panic attack, vomit, *headspace/littlespace

*Headspace/ littlespace: it's a stage when a character who didn't have enough love and care in the childhood suddenly falls into a headspace and feels like a kid when he's too stressed or something triggers it.

Soobin and Taehyun were running some errands in the mall. They shopped necessary goods and discussed the upcoming comeback schedule, promoting and stuff. Everything was going well. Until Taehyun saw a little kid asking his mom to buy him a toy as they were exiting a shop. His eyes glittered. It was a train with rail tracks, that activates with batteries. He wanted that too.

Soobin felt a tug on his sleeves. "What is it Taehyun-ah?"

Taehyun didn't say anything, just kept his eyes fixated on that toy. Soobin shook him a bit. "Hey, Taehyun-ah-"

"Appa!" And Soobin mentally facepalmed at that. Not now please. He didn't want any trouble in the mall. But nonetheless he talked with the little in a gentle voice. "Yes, Taehyunie?"

Taehyun looked at him with puppy eyes, "Wan' that toy." Soobin held his hands tightly since Taehyun could escape at any moment. "Not now." Soobin retorted.

"I wan' it pweaseee," Taehyun pleaded.

Soobin crouched down a little to whisper so that only Taehyun could hear. "We're in the mall, be a good boy, we need to go home, okay?"

"I am bein good boy. I just wan the magic train!" the younger whined and tried to free himself from Soobin's grip as he had expected.

Soobin didn't want to be late, because he had a lot of work to do. Send the supplies home then go to the company for a meeting with the manager. He really didn't have time for all this. Moreover he didn't have enough money on him to buy the toy at that moment. As Soobin was immersed in thought, Taehyun freed himself and ran like a little kitty to where the shopkeeper was showing the other kid the train thing. He stood there and watched the battery-activated-train move along the rail traks with glittery eyes.

"We didn't come here to buy toys, Taehyunie. Let's go home, our members are waiting." he felt Soobin grab his hand and pull him towards the exit, but Taehyun won't budge. "Nooo!" He whined and pouted, "Appa only buy Kai plushies and toy. Taehyunie wants one too!" He looked at Soobin with wattery eyes.

People at the shop were looking at them. Soobin looked around and squeezed little Taehyun's hand a bit hard to warn him about the situation, and whispered, "We're at the mall. Behave."

In response Taehyun only looked at him with eyes brimming with tears, "appa never scowld Kai-ah, only Taehyunie. Why?" His lips quivering.

Soobin was frustrated, he didn't like the attention and glances the people were giving, it'd be a huge problem if fans know Taehyun is a little. Moreover, their new comeback 'Sanctuary' was near, so of course people were head over heels to find spoilers and stalking. So he tightened the grip on Taehyun's hand and dragged him out of the shop. "Owch, hurts." Taehyun whined but the leader didn't even react to it, just dragged him straight out of the mall. Little did he know, his grip was too hard, that was surely gonna leave a bruise.

As soon as they got out of the mall, Soobin hurried to the parking lot and opened the passengers seat door and literally shoved the little inside. Don't even ask how much that hurt Taehyun, not physically, but mentally, his heart was aching. Was he a burden? Unshed tears pooled his eyes as watched his hyung starting the car and start driving, not even looking at him.

Taehyun felt that Soobin hated him. He felt like crying but he had to hold his tears. Because if he cries now, Soobin will hate him more. So he sucked a deep breath and tried to calm down.

Once they were on the highway, Soobin glanced at Taehyun. He was leaning his head on the window seal, eyes closed with a frown on his face. "Taehyuniee, are you okay? Do you feel carsick?" He was asking that because when Taehyun was in his headspace, he usually got carsick.

Taehyun didn't reply. He was awake but decided to keep quiet. Yes, he was definitely feeling carsick but he didn't want to be a burden, so kept quiet. He pretended to sleep as Soobin called him, "Taehyun-ah you okay?"

Not getting a reply, Soobin thought Taehyun was asleep and focused on driving. As Soobin drove towards the dorms, Taehyun only got more nauseous on each turn and bump. Can I really tell appa? Appa already hates Taehyunie, Taehyunie don't wanna be hated more.

He fought the urge to whine to Soobin about how he felt so sick and kept pretending to be asleep. He just wanted to be his appa's good little. No matter how nauseous he felt, he didn't make a sound, just squeezed his eyes tight to cope up with the pain in his stomach.

When Soobin reached home, he shook Taehyun gently to wake him up, "Taehyun-ah, we're home." Little did he know Taehyun was awake the whole time and was waiting so eagerly to hear those words, 'we're home'. That meant he could finally get out of the suffocating car. He opened his eyes and quickly opened the car door to get out of the congested space.

They went inside the dorm as Yeonjun greeted them, and Taehyun literally ran to him, crashing on him with a hug. Yeonjun hugged back giggling at the younger's cuteness, "What's up?" Oh how much he wanted that comfort.

"Taehyunie missed papa."

"Aww is my baby little?" Yeonjun cooed, ruffling his hair. Taehyun was still hugging him, literally latching onto him, "Mnmm", that meant yes.

"Don't spoil him too much, hyung," Soobin's sharp voice cut through. "You don't know what he did at the mall." His voice was full of annoyance, at least that's what Taehyun felt.

Yeonjun caressed his hair, "Really little one? What did you do? Wanna share with papa?"

Soobin again started, harsher this time, "Oh hyung! You don't know how much he embarrassed me in front of so many people. If only you had seen their glances." Taehyun felt his heart clench, he felt much smaller, and insecure. Not to mention he was already feeling extremely nauseous from the car ride earlier.

To put it simply, he felt awful, both physically and mentally. He had never felt so insecure before, he literally shrunk in Yeonjun's hold as the elder was asking him gently, "What did you do baby?"

Taehyun did not answer, he just let go of him and walked over to Kai. Kai was playing with his plushies and toys. He was also in little space. Taehyun just sat quietly beside him and stared. He noticed Kai had more toys and plushies than he did. He felt jealous.

Taehyun noticed it multiple times that Soobin loves Kai more. As if to confirm his thoughts, Soobin started, "He is so troublesome hyung. I wish he was easy to handle like Kai."

He could hear their conversation, Yeonjun was saying, "Don't say like that, Soobin. Taehyun is adorable. Just let him be the kid he wants to be."

"So? Does letting him be the kid he wants to be means bringing us trouble?!" Soobin was really frustrated, it was clear from his tone. He made an exasperated sigh, "I wish he was a bit more sensible."

Taehyun's heart clenched in pain. He didn't realise his favourite appa hated him this much. Tears formed in the corner of his eyes. He felt so insecure, vulnerable, his stomach twisting in knots with anxiety, and the already slightly upset tummy from the previous car ride wasn't helping either.

All of a sudden, he didn't want to care about anything anymore. He just wanted to be a little happy in his prison of sorrows. The big, haunting walls of insecurity and loneliness he couldn't push away. He tried; really tried to get out of the suffocation in his mind.

He thought of focusing on good things. That's why, he took one of Kai's toys in his hands, a small train. It was kind of similar to the one he saw at the store earlier. He quietly played with it, carefully eyeing every single detail.

The toy was nothing fancy, Taehyun just felt so insecure and vulnerable that he wanted to block out the whole world; because he knew no one loved him. That's why he tried to find happiness in the toy in his hands right now, which was also not his. Soobin didn't buy him toys like he did to Kai. His face puffed up with unshed tears he tried so hard to control. He didn't want to break down and prove them he was indeed a pathetic little who deserved to be hated.

"Taehyun-ah!"

Taehyun looked up. It was Soobin.

"Do you know I'm calling for the 5th time right now?"

Taehyun really didn't realise he was being called. He tried to apologise but no words could escape his throat. Was it fear? He gulped. Couldn't utter a word, just stared as if he was frozen. He tried to find love and softness in Soobin's eyes but it only looked more fierce and scary. He didn't even realise he was shaking.

"Why aren't you answering? Is that the manners we taught you?!" Soobin yelled as Taehyun practically flinched. Yeonjun rushed to calm him down, "Soobin-ah, calm down. Why are you scolding him?"

Taehyun just watched in horror with wide eyes as the pit in him stomach grew larger. His heart ached as his breath hitched. He felt so scared.

Soobin totally ignored Yeonjun and asked, "Why did you steal Kai's toy?"

Steal? He didn't steal it. He was just playing with it. Did Kai complain about him stealing the toy?

Why? He felt betrayed.

Yeonjun asked, "wait, really?"

"He stwol it!" Kai pointed at him. He glanced at Kai. Why are you lying Kai? All of a sudden, Soobin grabbed his cheeks. It wasn't gentle like usual, way harsh. "I'm asking you a question!" Taehyun flinched again, eyes widening as his breathing became unstable.

He yanked him as his grip on his face tightened. It hurt. "Can't you talk?!" And that was the limit, Taehyun was so overwhelmed with fear as he felt the air knocked out of him; he wheezed. The toy dropped from his hands as he clutched his chest trying to breathe.

He couldn't breathe.

Soobin's eyes widened, realising what was happening. Before he could do anything, Yeonjun yanked his hand away protectively from Taehyun's face. "Don't touch him!" Yeonjun's eyes flared at him as he protectively wrapped his arms around Taehyun. Gently rubbing his arms and asking him to breathe slowly. Telling him to focus on his voice.

Soobin scooted away and just watched it with a throbbing heart. Was he responsible for this?

He watched as Taehyun gasped for air, clawing his throat. He was crying and whimpering, couldn't utter a single word; he was in too much pan to talk. He felt like dying. Rough memories of his childhood flashed through his mind, sending him chills and waves of nausea. Tears prickled his eyes and made their way flowing down his cheeks.

He couldn't hear anything, none of the comforting words the eldest was offering, he couldn't feel the eldest rubbing back and literally wrapping him in warm hold, guiding his head to his chest and stroking his hair. He couldn't feel any of that. He was trapped in his mind, pain and sorrows;detached from reality.

He choked, trying to breathe as he felt bile rising in the back of his throat. Taehyun lurched forward, putrid liquid mixed with an undigested slurry of breakfast splashed on the floor, some soiling his shirt and pants. Endless stream of tears flowed as he felt his stomach clawing at him. He whimpered as he felt the next wave coming. He gagged again bending forward as Yeonjun swiftly placed a trashcan under his chin. He rubbed the younger's back gently, offering comforting words. "It's okay Taehyun-ah, let it out. You're gonna be okay. I'm here." Although he didn't know the younger could process his words in that situation or not, he caressed him in the gentlest way possible, as if he was a fragile glass that could shatter anytime.

Taehyun coughed and heaved, bringing streams of vomit, he thought he'd pass out. Which he did soon after he had stopped throwing up.

Secured in Yeonjun's hold, he could finally breathe. The control his mind had over his physic fading, finally letting him have a break from the pain.

He was still shuddering and whimpering in his slumber of unconsciousness. Kai was already crying from what he had witnessed. He felt responsible for accusing Taehyun of stealing when he didn't.

Kai just wanted to prank him. It never crossed his mind that the outcome would be this dangerous. Kai was a little who liked to prank because it made him feel relieved from the stress. He didn't have any bad intentions though.

And Soobin on the other hand felt so guilty, he didn't know how he'd face Taehyun once he wakes up. Nonetheless he comforted Kai as the little was crying and helped Yeonjun in cleaning Taehyun up and putting him in bed.

"You know Soobin his psychiatrist said clearly to take care of Taehyun in his headspace gently because his trauma is way worse than Kai's? Yet you kept comparing him to Kai, and the worst thing is you said those words in front of him. He heard you say all that when you are the one he cherished the most in his headspace. Why? Because he felt comfortable with you, but what did you do? He was in headspace because he stressed and you stressed him even more to the point he had a panic attack"

Soobin listened hanging his head low, muttering sorries from time to time. He would surely apologise to Taehyun when he wakes up.

Should I write a SECOND PART?

[snowbaamgyu]

Friends don't understand me anymore

This one is a request from @flashymoa , check that blog too ;)

Also sorry this took too long, it's finally here, enjoy!

Their schedule was packed, like, really packed, that was for sure, and they all were tired, no one had the right to complain, they were following that lifestyle since their debut days, if it wasn't dance practice for a comeback it was for a special stage, or even just to make sure they all mantain the same stamina; then, vocal practice or maybe some individual schedules, submitting lyrics, photoshoots, interviews, etc.

Taehyun didn't notice at first, he brushed away some symptoms like being exhausted when he was just finishing his warm up for his gym routine, or how he felt a bit grossed out by the sight of food, even his favorite dishes! It all were signs of his body telling him something was going to happen.

It was a lot and it was taking a toll on everyone but specially in Taehyun, he didn't have the time for his body to do what it wanted, but today he really wanted to stop everything and go home.

Doubled over with his hands on his knees, Taehyun panted trying to catch his breath, everyone was tired but he felt like he had done all four hours of dance practice when they were just one hour into it. Their dance instructor noticed his behavior and got a bit concerned, still asked "Taehyun-ssi, is everything okay?" just in case, Taehyun nodded before standing straight "Just tired, sorry".

The dance practice continued but Taehyun kept making mistakes, tripping over his own feet or bumping into Beomgyu who was kind enough to hide how frustrated he was getting, the rest did the same aside of Yeonjun who huffed in annoyance when Taehyun held onto him to prevent falling down face first onto the floor, the dance teacher calling for a break and Soobin leaving the room.

"Taehyun, I get that you're tired but we're all are too as well, please cooperate for us to go home quickly" the oldest one of the group said, not knowing what to say, Taehyun lowered his head and apologized, finally realizing he wasn't in conditions for that damn dance practice. "I don't think I feel well enough to continue" he said with a grimace, now feeling all the discomfort, the dancing and moving around distracted him but now all his body felt heavy and hot, probably a fever.

"Taehyun, if we all said we don't feel good then no one would be here right now, I also want to rest but work comes first, focus please" Beomgyu now was the one speaking, and Kai beside him just nodded, he thought the same thing as his hyungs.

"You're right, sorry, I'll do better" was all he said, not wanting to keep the discussion with his hyungs, then went to drink some water hoping it would calm his scratchy throat and mildly upset stomach, his hands trembling when he closed the water bottle, he felt a shiver running down all his body, his eyes were glossy and his head started hurting. Soobin entered the room and the practice resumed, when Taehyun bumped into Soobin this time he immediately bowed and apologized, scared that he also was mad at him for not giving his all and slacking off. "I'm so sorry hyung, I promise it won't happen again, sorry." Soobin noticed how Taehyun's voice cracked a bit at the end and gently grabbed his shoulder, feeling all the warmth radiating through him, the younger sweating buckets and breathing shallowly, something was happening. "It's alright Taehyun, are you feeling okay? You don't seem well" at Soobin's words Yeonjun huffed once again, "He's just being lazy, we're all tired Taehyun you're not special today" Yeonjun's words hurt, they were cold and full of annoyance, Soobin frowned but let it go, not wanting to start an argument mid practice.

They all got into their positions again but Taehyun knew he couldn't make it to the end of the song without making mistakes, not with the way his eyes were full of black dots and everything was changing colors until it started fading, still he went on, didn't stop even when he felt so lightheaded that his nose started bleeding, didn't stop when all his limbs felt so heavy he thought he wasn't in control of his own body, with that he collapsed and the music stopped, so did the boys.

Soobin was the first one to react and go check on him, the dance instructor going out to call the medical staff and one of their managers.

"Taehyun, what happened? Wake up, please!" Soobin pleaded as he put the youngers head on his lap, wiping the blood with a towel Kai handed, Beomgyu and Yeonjun stood there not knowing what to do but bolting into action when the younger started waking up but the first thing he did was choke up his lunch or well, what he managed to eat, Soobin titling his head for him to finish throwing up, Beomgyu held the trashcan for him to puke in there, coughing and retching, Taehyun didn't know what was happening.

When he was done Yeonjun took the trashcan and they all tried to give him air with those hand fans, also giving him so space so he could breath normally again, now in that position Soobin could really acknowledge that Taehyun was really sick and not just lazy how they others were thinking, he was burning up and had really dark circles under his eyes, his normally honey-colored skin was now pale, almost grayish.

"Guys, he is sick, why didn't any of you think twice before saying he was just being lazy? How could you even let this get this far?! Really? You couldn't even just try and check for a fever?" Soobin was mad, like really mad, spoke to them not only in his leader voice but also as a friend who had to point out their mistakes. No one could really reply, they knew they were wrong but now they had to focus on Taehyun, when the medical staff arrived they set him up in the couch of the practice room, Soobin never leaving his side, the other three just looked from afar.

"Looks like a mix of exhaustion and possibly a stomach flu or just the common flu, whatever it is, he needs to rest, the hospital is not necessary so just take him to the dorms, he will be fine by the end of the week if he is well rested".

The ride to the dorms was silent, no one dared to speak not only because Taehyun was asleep but also the air was so tense, Soobin was the one who carried Taehyun to his room and tucked him into bed, his face flushed, he was breathing through his mouth and his stomach was rumbling, Soobin winced in sympathy a bit at that, being sick sucks specially if it involved a sick stomach, at the end he left the room to let him sleep.

The other three knew that now they had a long lecture from Soobin, so they gathered in the living room and waited for him.

"Okay, care to explain why didn't any of you believe in Taehyun's words? He clearly told you he felt sick, am I wrong?" Soobin started, looking disappointed at them; "He did tell us that he wasn't feeling well but honestly, I think we didn't take him seriously because we also are exhausted and it wouldn't be fair if only him got to rest" Yeonjun said as he lowered his head a bit, "He's right but also, for me it was because I wanted to finish practice before letting my body be weak and agree that I couldn't make it to the end of the week, in a way I'm kinda thankful to Taehyun because now we have to be in quarantine" Beomgyu continued, they kept talking, everyone giving a reason and arguments until a door slammed shut and Kai shushed them. "Guys, Taehyun, he's throwing up again" now that they were quiet they could hear him and immediately went after him, they found Taehyun in the bathroom with his head into the toilet heaving painfully but only bringing saliva and stomach acid, the coughing just irritating more his throat, this time Beomgyu was the one who crouched by his side and patted his back, Kai prepared him a bath and Yeonjun went to change his bedsheets, Soobin went to the laundry room with Yeonjun.

"Taehyunnie, we're sorry for not believing in you, we'll take care of you so everyone can enjoy this week off okay?" said boy just nodded, not really processing what was happening, Beomgyu flushed the toilet and helped Kai to take off his clothes and let him relax into the water, massaging his scalp and helping the fever to go down, Kai went to grab a change of clothes for Taehyun and drying his hair, now Taehyun was a bit more awake and aware of his surroundings, Soobin appeared into his room with a bowl of soup and some pills with a glass of water, everyone managed to fit themselves to keep him company, even when Taehyun murmured a low "I feel nauseous..." and had to pass him the trashcan of his room, the soup ending up in there, they had to try again later but for now they could try and make him feel better, even if they had the risk of getting sick they didn't care, they had to be there for him.

Three days later Taehyun was feeling much better and had already forgiven them, also had to become the caretaker when one morning Yeonjun had to make a run to the toilet to throw up his breakfast and dinner, they knew it was their karma when the next day Kai also got sick and the day after it was Beomgyu, but eventually everything calmed down and they got another week off, hanging out at home, playing games and watching movies, whatever argument they ever had now forgotten.

Number: 17 “Why didn’t you say anything sooner about your belly feeling so sick?”

Sick: Taehyun

Caregiver: Yeonjun

I hope it's ok like this ^^

Warning: description of throwing up/vomit

Currently Yeonjun and Taehyun were in the practice room, they wanted to dance a bit while doing a Vlive for Moa. Before they start the live they obviously had to warm up a bit. Yeonjun already had the music on gull volume and was stretching a bit. Taehyung sat a bit aside and was stretching his legs too. However he had a hard time to do so as his stomach was making flips each time he moved. If he would just bend down the slightest it was in his throat. He felt like this since the morning but he thought a mug of tea and pills for nausea would do the thing. It didn't. He felt a bit better for a few minutes but right now it's back and now it's even worse. 

Taehyun knew he should say something before they started the Vlive but he just couldn't. Yeonjun was so happy as Taehyun said he would join him. He doesn't have the heart to ruin that now. After all they rarely had time to do Vlives anymore. 

So he did his best to power through it. 

However, after a few rounds of dancing he knew he couldn't hold it back any longer. They didn't even fully dance yet as it was just warm ups. But even those movements that he usually could do in his sleep unsettled his stomach even more. A cold sweat was gathering on his forehead and neck. His ears ringing. And suddenly he bend forward with a retch as clear liquid splashed on the ground. 

Hearing that sound Yeonjun widened his eyes. Immediately he stopped the music and was as fast as possible by Taehyuns side.

"Shit." He cursed as he saw the mess on the floor and his band member violently lurching up more liquid.

"It's okay. You're okay." Yeonjun tried to comfort. 

Taehyun squeezed his eyes shut as his stomach cramped harshly sending up another rush of hot liquid. It was burning his throat. His legs wobbled and he had a hard time to hold himself up. To his luck Yeonjun noticed that and grabbed his wrist to slowly guide the younger down. 

After a few more round of being sick the younger was finally empty. He let himself fall on the floor. Yeonjun making sure that the young singer didn't accidentally sit in his own mess. 

"Why didn't you say anything sooner about your belly feeling so sick?" Yeonjun questioned. His brows furrowed in concern.

Taehyun took a deep breath "Didn't want to make you sad.." he mumbled.

Yeonjun sighed and he wrapped one arm around the younger. Squeezing his shoulder in process. "You make me sad if I see you being this sick." 

Taehyung looked down. "Can we go home?" 

"Of course." The older said as he ruffled the youngers hair.

[taehyun x beomgyu]

honey-sticky lips by junable (1/1 | 13,459 | NR:T)

why are you so good to me? beomgyu wants to ask, but before he gets so much as a word out, there are gentle hands guiding him back towards his pillow, cradling his head and gingerly sweeping sweaty bangs off of his face, a sigh releasing from beomgyu’s lips. a murmur, “feel better, beomgyu hyung.” the gentle hands are tucking him in, and had he not been disoriented by the heat in his cheeks and the cotton in his head, he would have been overwhelmed by how loved he feels. he thinks of his mother back at home in daegu, and vows to visit home more often. and then the hands that feel like home are gone. kang taehyun makes it hard to not love him, is his last thought before he succumbs to the feverish haze once again. or, taehyun takes care of his hyung in more ways than one, and beomgyu pines.

yeonjun’s gaze remains fixated on you as you hesitantly lean in to brush yet another layer of foundation across his smooth skin. your movements are overly cautious as you brush a final shine against his plump lips before pulling back with a satisfied smile. 

“okay, i’m done.”

yeonjun turns to face the mirror beside him, scanning each detail for a few seconds before he hums. “it looks incredible. you did a great job.”

“do you need anything-”

“txt, you’re on in five!” a stage-hand’s voice interrupts. you startle slightly at the intrusion before returning your attention back to the man before you. 

“what about a good-luck kiss?” he teases. the small smirk on his face quickly disappears when you begin to lean in - this time with no makeup brush in hand. shivers rack up yeonjun’s spine when your lips brush against the skin of his neck. his cheeks flush furiously underneath the layers of foundation coating his skin; wide eyes meeting your own once again. 

your touch is gone just as quick it was there. “sorry,” you sheepishly smile. “i didn’t want to ruin your makeup.”

“don’t be,” yeonjun chuckles. “i liked it.”

⋆｡°✩ soobin - cheek kisses

a long sigh escapes soobin’s lips as he stumbles into your shared apartment; tiredly kicking his shoes off beside the door. his feet drag against the floor as he retraces a familiar route into your living room before all but collapsing onto the couch. 

metal digs uncomfortably into his sides, though the pain barely compares to his pounding headache. soobin squeezes his eyes shut as he hides his face into the cushions in an attempt to escape from the toll of a yet another demanding workday. 

“soob?” you ask, quietly making your way into the room. he simply groans in response as your footsteps slowly become closer. you kneel down beside him, reaching up to rest a gentle hand against his back. “long day?”

soobin twists his body to the side so he’s facing you. a sympathetic smile tugs at the corners of your lips. “i’m so tired,” he sleepily mumbles. “rehearsals ran late today. we barely got any breaks.”

“i’m sorry, jagi.” you lean in to press a fleeting kiss against his cheek. “why don’t we go lay down? i’ll play with your hair and you can take a nap.”

soobin smiles at the suggestion, nodding slightly. “i’d like that a lot.”

⋆｡°✩ beomgyu - nose kisses

you all but jump into beomgyu’s arms, tightly wrapping your arms around his shoulders. his hands almost instinctively fall to around your waist as he eagerly tugs your body closer until you’re fully leaning against his chest. 

you squeeze your eyes shut as if to savor the moment, leaning in so you can hear his heartbeat. “i missed you,” you murmur. “so, so much.”

“i missed you too,” beomgyu whispers. 

you step back slightly to look at him, bringing your hands up to cup his face. you brush your thumb against his rosy cheeks before resting your palms against his flushed cheeks. a comfortable silence falls between you. a soft smile threatens to tug at the corners of your lips as you study beomgyu’s features. 

his own gaze remains fixed on your lips as you lean in, pressing a soft kiss against the tip of his nose. “y/n,” he whines. 

“i’m sorry gyu,” you chuckle. butterflies swarm in your stomach in anticipation. you smirk softly as he unconsciously leans in once again, chasing after your lips. “you’re just too cute to resist,” you whisper just before beomgyu catches your lips against his in a sweet kiss.

⋆｡°✩ taehyun - jawline kisses

a groan leaves your lips as yet another coughing fit racks through you. your hands shake and your head pounds with a slowly approaching migraine. 

taehyun reaches over to rub a comforting hand against your back. “are you okay?” he whisper; eyebrows furrowed in concern. 

your answer comes in the form of a pained moan leaving your lips. you squeeze your eyes shut in an attempt to focus on anything but the sickness slowly debilitating your body. “can i get you anything?” taehyun asks, still rubbing a hand against your back.

“cuddles?” you whisper, wincing at the way your voice cracks.

“come here, jagi,” he says, opening his arms. you don’t waste any time; eagerly shuffling across the couch. 

taehyun softly smiles down at you as you lean in so your head is pressed against his chest. he wraps his arms around your waist, slipping a hand underneath your loose t-shirt to rest against your overly warm skin. 

the soundtrack of the drama you had turned on earlier fades into the background. you lean upwards to press a chaste kiss against his jawline before nuzzling yourself closer against his chest. “i love you,” you murmur.

taehyun smiles as he tucks his chin on top of your head. “i love you too.”

⋆｡°✩ huening kai - forehead kisses

kai sleepily curls his body further into your warmth as he shifts slightly so his head is resting on top of your chest. his arm remains wrapped around your waist, all but trapping you between his body and your bed. 

your lips unconsciously curl into a soft smile as kai nuzzles himself even closer against you. he looks so content in his sleep - disheveled hair framing his relaxed features; his lips curled into a small smile; an arm loosely draped over your body. stray strands of his curled hair occasionally brush against the bare skin of your neck, sending ticklish shivers down your spine. 

your phone springing to life with the repetitive noise of your alarm breaks the serenity of the moment, forcefully breaking you out of your sleepy haze. a soft groan from kai vibrates against your chest as he squeezes his eyes shut a little tighter in a poor attempt to cling onto his remaining sleep. 

you softly chuckle as you brush a hand up to push a stray strand of hair out of his face. “kai,” you murmur. “it’s time to get up.”

kai simply groans once again, hiding his face closer against your chest. “five more minutes.”

“okay jagi,” you hum, pressing a kiss against the crown of his forehead.

The Silent Treatment

request: yes I have an idea for a sickfic, it starts when he starts feeling off after lunch and gets really quiet because he's just not in the mood to say anything and everyone thinks he's being rude and starts ignoring him (yes i like angst but then fluff) then at night they decide to order food and have a movie night without beomgyu because they're kinda mad at him, but then they see how beomgyu gets quietly into the bathroom and doesn't come out and get worried finally putting the pieces together and check on him and find him throwing up and they all take care of him and apologize. idk that popped up on my mind 

———————

The day started off as any other. TxT woke up at their regular hour and headed to their building for vocal practice. Everything went as usual, the boys all laughing and joking with each other. It was normal. After the practice the group had the rest of the day free, a rare occasion for an idol. They decided to go out for lunch at a yummy restaurant they all liked and they had a great time. It was nice to be able to spend time all together without being in a rush to get to the next schedule or having a camera on them. When they finished their meal, they head back home to relax for the rest of the day. 

On the car ride home, Beomgyu started feeling weird. He was hot and sweaty, but when he went to make the air conditioning cooler, it was as cold as it could get. That was strange. Not to mention, he could feel head pounding in his skull, marking the start of a headache. He sat in silence as he slowly started to feel worse as the car ride went on.

“b….yu?”

“B.o..gyuuu”

“Earth to Gyu”

“BEOMGYU!!”

“huh?” Beomgyu said, finally remembering the noise in the background of his silence was his members, and one of them was trying to talk to him.

“Did you see my-“

But Beomgyu was struggling to listen and missed what the voice was trying to tell him.

“Sure?” He tried.

“Did you even listen?”

“Sorry. I must’ve zoned out.”

“Well I was saying how-“

But once again Beomgyu struggled to keep focus on Kai’s rambling.

“You’re still not listening are you.”

Beomgyu didn’t know what to say. Eventually, Kai turned away, his feelings hurt by Beomgyu’s disinterest in his stories. Was he really that annoying that his own friend couldn’t listen to him talk for more than 19 seconds?Beomgyu knew he should say something, maybe apologize for not listening. But he i just felt so shitty, so he just melted into his seat with his head on the window. 

When they returned home, Kai plopped himself down on, the couch, still feeling hurt by Beomgyu’s actions as he tried to hold back his tears. Beomgyu just went off to his room and threw himself into bed. How did he become so miserable so quickly?

When Soobin, Yeonjun, and Taehyun noticed their dongsaeng clearly upset at something, they hurried to see what was up.

“What’s wrong Kai?” Taehyun said taking a seat next to his friend.

“You seem upset.” Soobin said also sitting down beside the two.

Once his members began questioning him, he could no longer hold back his tears as he said  through sobs, “G-Gyu is ign-noring m-me and won’t l-let me tell h-him my st-story.”

“Oh Kai. I’m sure he didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.” Yeonjun said from where he stood beside the couch. 

“I’m going to go talk to him. Okay?” Soobin said, since it was his duty as leader to keep the peace inside their team.

Heuning Kai nodded as he calmed down a little bit, but he still was left feeling defeated.

Soobin let himself into Beomgyu’s room to find him laying in bed under the covers where he assumed the boy was staring at his phone. 

“Gyu, can you please go apologize to Kai? I’m sure you didn’t mean to, but you really hurt his feelings when you wouldn’t listen to him in the car. “

But Beomgyu really was starting to feel awful. Chills and aches, and on top of that, the nausea was only getting worse and worse by the second. So he just kept his mouth shut and layed under the covers.

“Gyu do you hear me? Come apologize.”

Beomgyu just groaned from his place in bed, finally acknowledging Soobin, hoping the sound would be enough to get the leader to atleast check on him underneath his comforter.

It was not.

“I’ll take that as a yes. You’re going to come and say you’re sorry.” Soobin said, turning and exiting the room.

He sat back down on the couch with the others bringing good news. “He’s going to come talk with you and explain himself.” He said to Kai who was still sniffing quietly. 

But as time went on, there was still no Beomgyu, and still no apology. They waited and waited and waited, but he never came.

“Well.. if he’s going to ignore us, we can just ignore him until he apologizes. Let’s watch a movie.” Taehyun said, and everyone quietly agreed before deciding on a kdrama that Heuning Kai had been wanting to watch.

When the movie ended the 4 members on the couch were all hungry and decided it was time for dinner. Beomgyu had yet to emerge from his room, but they assumed eventually get hungry and come out. 

Yeonjun started to get worried when they finished eating and Beomgyu was no where to be seen. He excused himself “to the bathroom”, when in reality he was going to check on his missing dongseang.

————————

When he opened the door to Beomgyu’s room he was surprised to find it empty. He looked around, until he stepped back into the hallway and saw the light seeping out from under the bathroom door. To top it off, he heard Beomgyu quietly gagging on the other side, barely audible. He opened the door to find the poor boy hunched over the toilet as he coughed a little and finally spewed out vomit. A wave of guilt washed over Yeonjun. How could they not have noticed that Beomgyu was sick. They should have known he wouldn’t be rude on purpose. 

But there was no time to beat himself up over it. He made his way to wear Beomgyu was sat in front of the toilet and knelt beside him rubbing his back. He knew Gyu appreciated physical affection over words and preferred it to be quiet when he was sick. So he stayed quiet has he brushed the boys hair away from his face. When the splashes eventually got smaller and all you could hear was heavy breaths eventually evening out to a normal pace. When Beomgyu was finally finished, Yeonjun helped him back to his room and tucked him in. He got him a bucket from the closet, peaking the interest of the other members who still thought he was in the bathroom. 

“What’s that for?” Taehyun said from his spot on the couch.

“Beomgyu is sick.” Yeonjun said before rushing back to Beomgyu’s room to prevent a mess.

Suddenly it made sense why Beomgyu had been so quiet all day. He wasn’t being rude. He always gets like that when he’s sick. They should have noticed. They all felt so guilty, especially Kai. So he hurried to Beomgyu’s room to make things right.

He knocked on the door frame of the open door before poking his head in and asking,

“Anything I can do to help?”.

“We’re okay for now, but thank you.”

“A-Alright” He turned back into the hallways, only to turn right back into the room. “I’m sorry!!!!! I thought you were being mean when you weren’t talking to me and I got everyone else upset at you too and you were all alone!!! I should have noticed you weren’t feeling well. I’m so so so sorry.” He said loudly.

Beomgyu groaned at the noise but smiled at the apology.

“Shhh!” Yeonjun commanded.

“Oh! Sorry!” He said too loudly again.

“SHH! You’re too loud, his head hurts.” 

“Sorry.” He tried to whisper, still somehow loudly. Yeonjun was about to shut him up again, but Beomgyu laughed at Kai’s lack of volume control.

“It’s okay Kai. You didn’t know. I should have said something.” Beomgyu said, exhibiting the volume Kai needed to be at. 

For the rest of the time he was sick, the whole group waited on Beomgyu hand and foot to try and make up for how they had treated him until he was all better.

requests(and minis) are open

[sneezyminniejo]

Hi can i please request a beomgyu sickfic where he's sick but had to take care of another member/s not realizing he's even worse off. Or maybe he knew he's sick as well but just keep pushing through so the other could get better? And the members realized somehow when he broke down/collapse? Thanks btw!

Here it is. Hope you enjoy

tw: fainting

It's Probably Just Allergies

It had started innocuously enough. A sore throat here, a cough there, a couple of sneezes in the mix as well. Also ankle braces. The members of TXT were currently experiencing a bout of bad luck. Yeonjun had badly sprained his ankle a week ago and still wasn’t really allowed to put weight on his foot. Meanwhile Soobin, Taehyun, and Kai had all caught a cold two days ago. Either way, current comeback preparations have been eased up on a bit to allow rest and recuperation for the group. As much as the members protested the break, it was really the only way for everyone to recuperate and continue preparations. They were planning on having a comeback directly followed by their next tour starting. Therefore it was important for all five members to be at their healthiest.

Beomgyu was currently in the kitchen making a big pot of soup and some bulgogi. Yeonjun was in the living room watching tv and Beomgyu’s pretty sure that the other three are currently knocked out in their respective beds. Or at least trying to sleep. From where he was in the kitchen, Beomgyu was able to hear a fairly loud triple sneeze come from Soobin’s room. It was honestly quite impressive. Soobin’s room was at the opposite end of the dorm from where the kitchen is and his door is closed. Beomgyu dished up the food and placed the bowls of food on four separate tv trays they had accumulated at some point. 

First he had brought Yeonjun his tray since said hyung was the closest. Then he brought the next two trays to Taehyun and Kai before bringing the final tray to Soobin. After Beomgyu made sure his group was fed, he served himself a bowl of food and joined Yeonjun in the living room. The younger man sat down with a contented sigh before digging into his food.

“How are the others Gyu-yah?” Yeonjun asked, beginning to dig in himself. Apparently the older had decided to wait for Beomgyu before he started eating.

“I think Kai is the only one that’s really been able to get any sleep. Both hyung and Tyunnie’s beds were covered in tissues, while Kai seems to only have gone through a few.” He paused for a moment to eat some more food. “Although, hyung and Taehyun have both been sneezing up a storm. I think Kai’s cold is actually mostly in his chest. He keeps coughing.”

Yeonjun nodded as Beomgyu explained how the others were doing. He honestly wishes he could help the younger out with taking care of the others, but he’s under strict orders to not put any weight on his injured ankle until a minimum of two full weeks have passed. It’s far too difficult to try to carry stuff along with balancing on crutches, so he’s had to deal with Beomgyu taking care of him as well. In all honesty, the other three could probably take care of themselves, but yesterday all three of them woke up with a decent fever and both Yeonjun and Beomgyu insisted they stay in bed until they don’t need medicine to keep their fevers down.

As soon as the two in the living room finished eating, the younger of the two immediately got up and began to clean up all the dishes. Beomgyu wound up having to quietly get the dishes from Soobin’s room, as the older man had fallen asleep. Beomgyu collected the rest of the dirty dishes and began washing them. It was one of the few times that he wished the dorm had a dishwasher, but that’s life.

After what felt like two hours, but was more like forty-five minutes, Beomgyu finished washing all of the dishes that were used for lunch. He was feeling a bit tired, so he quickly checked in on everyone before going to his own room to take a nap.

Beomgyu woke up two hours later, feeling completely groggy. He glanced at his alarm clock as he tried to wake up and startled at the knock on his door. “Come in.” He said, before trying to clear his throat of his post nap grogginess.

Yeonjun half stumbled into the room, not having gotten the hang of using door knobs with crutches under his arm. “Hyung. What are you doing up?” Beomgyu asked, somewhat alarmed.

“Soobin, Taehyun, and Kai are asleep and manager-nim finally dropped off the humidifiers that we asked him to get yesterday. Anyway, I tried to open and get them set up, but I’m having trouble carrying everything.” Beomgyu stared at him for a solid thirty seconds, blinking blankly.

“Hyung, why would you try to carry something like a box or a humidifier? You can barely carry your phone in one hand while using your crutches.” The younger man stood up and stumbled slightly, but he quickly regained his balance.

“You okay Gyu-ah?” Yeonjun asked, completely ignoring the younger’s question when he saw Beomgyu stumble.

“I’m fine. That sometimes happens when I stand up right after waking up.” “Shit. Sorry Gyu. I didn’t realize you were taking a nap. I didn’t mean to wake you.” Yeonjun apologized.

“It’s fine hyung. It’s been two hours. So I probably needed to wake up anyway. Let’s get the humidifiers opened and set up in the bedrooms.” Beomgyu rubbed the sleep out of his eyes as he walked out of his room.

Once the duo was in the living room, Beomgyu opened up the boxes and snuck into his sick members' rooms to get them properly set up. For how little it took for Beomgyu to set up two humidifiers, he found himself feeling fairly tired and tried not to sigh in relief as he sat back down on the couch next to Yeonjun.

"Want to watch a movie hyung?" Yeonjun nodded and turned on Disney+ so they could watch The Lion King. Beomgyu got up again to make some popcorn and get juice for the two of them to share before sitting next to Yeonjun on the couch.

As the movie played, the three sick members emerged from their rooms and joined in watching the movie. Yeonjun tried protesting that the trio were out of bed, but Taehyun pointed out that staying in bed all day was boring. Besides, They’re still resting, just in a different area. Kai chimed in that with all four of them in the same part of the dorm, it’ll be easier for Beomgyu to take care of all of them. Yeonjun agreed with that and dropped the subject.

The rest of the day passed just like that. All five members watched movies while Beomgyu occasionally got up to get things for one or more of his ailing members. After watching four movies, the group unanimously decided that it was time for bed. Beomgyu made sure that everyone took their medicine and had everything they needed before going to his own room to sleep.

The following morning, Beomgyu woke up not really being able to breathe and with what he could only describe as excruciating pain behind his eyes. The sliver of sunlight that was peaking through the window of his room caused him to cover his head with his blanket. Unfortunately, a minute later, his phone's alarm began blaring, signaling that he needed to get up and begin tending to his members. He shuffled out of bed, and with his eyes closed, made his way to the bathroom where everything was stored.

He opened his eyes long enough to find the excedrin and take a pill before he went back to his room for a little bit so it could kick in. Once it started to kick in and light was bearable, Beomgyu once again made his way back to the bathroom to get everyone’s meds.

The first room he went to was that of Soobin’s. As he approached, he was able to hear the leader sneeze twice. He knocked on the door before opening it, and found Soobin getting dressed.

“Hyung, why are you getting dressed? You should be resting.” Soobin sniffled before grabbing a tissue and blowing his nose. “Can’t rest today Gyu. I got a text from manager-nim saying that he couldn’t rearrange schedules today, so we all have to be there, no exceptions.” Beomgyu sighed and nodded his head. That was not ideal.

“I’ll go make sure the others are awake and get started on breakfast then.” Beomgyu left the room and went to check on the other members. Turns out, that was a good thing, because Yeonjun, Taehyun, and Kai were all still fast asleep. No one was terribly pleased about having to wake up when they all thought that they had the day off.

Beomgyu decided to make eggs for breakfast for everyone. As he was adding the pepper, his nose twitched. He quickly placed the pepper shaker on the counter and turned to the side, sneezing twice quite harshly.

“Bless you, hyung.” Kai said before walking over and handing the older man some tissues. Beomgyu blew his nose before quickly washing his hands and getting back to cooking. It only took a few more minutes for breakfast to be made and for the group to begin eating.

The van pulled up before the five men finished breakfast, their manager arriving earlier than expected. This caused them to rush out of the dorm and at one point, Yeonjun lost his balance on his crutches and almost fell over. ONly to be caught by Soobin. Beomgyu was the last one to get to the van. First, he had decided to go grab everyone’s medicine and also blow his nose again. Ever since he had sneezed while making breakfast, his nose had been running. He also grabbed a pack of travel tissues for good measure before joining the others.

By the time that the group got to the company, Beomgyu’s headache had fully abated, but he had kept sniffling. He even needed to blow his nose just before they arrived. He wound up sneezing right after getting out of the car.

“Are you okay hyung?” Taehyun asked in a whispered voice, because for him his cold had settled in his lungs and the amount of coughing he had done led him to developing laryngitis.

“I’m fine Tyunnie. It’s just my rhinitis acting up. Pollen’s probably high if I had to guess.” Beomgyu said. Taehyun looked at him a tad skeptically and took his phone out to check the pollen count. Sure enough the pollen count was listed as high. However, while they were still trailing behind the other three, the second youngest placed his hand on Beomgyu’s forehead. “It doesn’t feel like you have a fever, so I believe you, hyung.” Beomgyu nodded and sniffled, bringing his hand up to wipe his nose. Truthfully, Beomgyu didn’t feel sick aside from the stuffy/runny nose and the sinus headache he woke up with, he felt completely fine.

The first item up on the agenda was vocal practice. Why this particular group vocal practice couldn’t be rescheduled is anybody’s guess. Especially since the other vocal practices and lessons had been rescheduled. Either way, it was a bit of a mess. The only one that was able to properly participate was Yeonjun, even though he did wind up resting his injured foot on a chair while doing it.

Because Taehyun had no voice, he obviously couldn’t sing. Soobin and Kai were both sneezing and coughing periodically. Beomgyu did his best, but the stuffy nose caused by his allergies made it a bit difficult for him to reach the notes with the desired sharpness. He tried to begrudgingly blow his nose a couple of times, but it didn’t really work.

After that, the group was filming some kind of video for a charity. Once they entered the practice room, they found out that they would be playing various games along with some dance challenges. Before filming started, Beomgyu found himself at the tissue box, trying to rid his nose of whatever had been irritating it all day.

Once again, one of the members approached him and placed their hand on his forehead. “Are you feeling alright Beomgyu?” Soobin asked before he himself grabbed some tissues from the box.

“I’m fine hyung. It’s just allergies. Pollen’s a bit high today.” Beomgyu said before clearing his throat. Soobin nodded in understanding and went to join the others. As soon as Soobin turned around Beomgyu stifled a yawn into his fist. He found himself feeling more tired than usual, but he assumed it had been because his allergies had clogged his nose overnight and he hadn't been able to sleep properly because he had likely started snoring.

The filming had also been a bit of a mess. There was a fairly lengthy debate as to whether or not Yeonjun could do a three legged race solo, on the grounds that his one good leg and two crutches equals three legs. The other four were arguing that while technically, it could be counted as three legs, Yeonjun would still be at an unfair advantage because he wouldn’t have to coordinate walking with anyone, only himself.

Ultimately, Yeonjun was allowed to participate. Naturally he won. Although Kai and Taehyun both wound up in coughing fits afterwards. Yeonjun sat out of the dance challenges, but was able to participate in the other games.

The filming had actually taken a couple of hours and everyone was pretty tired by the time they were allowed to go back to the dorm. During the van ride, Beomgyu and Taehyun had fallen asleep. There were soft snores coming from both men, and this time it was the eldest who asked the question.

“Does anyone know if Beomgyu-yah���s okay? He normally doesn’t snore.” Yeonjun said.

“Gyu’s fine. His allergies are bothering him.” Soobin responded. Yeonjun nodded and turned back to look out the window.

“Binnie, can you and Kai carry Gyu in and I’ll wake Tyunnie?” Yeonjun didn’t say it, but he felt that the healthy member should be allowed to sleep as long as possible since he’d been taking care of all four of them. Soobin and Kai were quick to agree.

Beomgyu wound up waking just as he was getting placed on the couch. He woke up kind of slowly, but as soon as he was fully coherent, he was rushing to grab his bag to make sure everyone could take their medicine. “What does everyone want for dinner?” He asked as he grabbed a tissue and blew his nose.

“I was thinking we could order spaghetti and meatballs.” Kai said. The others were quick to agree, except for Beomgyu who went to the kitchen and began looking through the cabinets.

“We have all the ingredients right here. I’ll make it. Besides, it’s not too often that we can have home cooked meals instead of takeout.”  The others kind of wanted to argue because while they’re normally so busy that ordering takeout is the easiest thing to do, they don’t need home cooked meals every day of their break. The only reason none of them actually argued was because Beomgyu is very stubborn and none of them felt like arguing a point when it didn’t matter in the long run.

Beomgyu was in the kitchen getting everything ready. He had just gotten the pot of water on the stove and was in the process of getting the noodles out of the cabinet, when his vision began swimming. As soon as he got the pasta out of the cabinet, Beomgyu saw black dots float across his vision. The next thing he knew was that the floor was getting much closer.

All four members startled at the loud crash that came from the kitchen. They all made their way to investigate when they didn’t hear Beomgyu say anything. They found him on the floor with dry spaghetti spilled all over the floor. Soobin quickly turned off the stove and he and Taehyun moved to bring Beomgyu back to the couch after they did a quick examination to make sure he hadn’t hit his head.

Yeonjun had kind of hobbled to the bathroom and grabbed the thermometer and put it in Beomgyu’s mouth as soon as he returned. “Hyung, you don’t have to take his temperature. I checked earlier and he doesn’t have a fever.” Soobin said. Taehyun rasped an agreement that Beomgyu didn’t have a fever.

“The three of you have been running fevers since you got sick. And everyone knows that if you have a fever, you’re not going to feel a fever on another person.” Just then the thermometer beeped and Yeonjun pulled the device from Beomgyu’s mouth. Right before he could read the number out loud, Beomgyu came to.

“What happened?” Beomgyu asked as he sat up, only to be pressed down by Kai.

“You fainted hyung. I think we might have gotten you sick.” The maknae said. Beomgyu shook his head at that.

“I’m not sick, guys. It’s just allergies.” “I hate to break it to you Gyu, but allergies don’t typically come with a fever.” Yeonjun responded. Beomgyu’s eyes seemed to widen a bit at Yeonjun’s response.

“I’m sick?” He asked rhetorically. “I honestly thought it was allergies, but that does make more sense.”

“I’m going to call our manager and update him. Kai, you can go ahead and order dinner. Gyu, don’t get up unless you need to please.” Soobin said, his leader voice leaking through. Beomgyu agreed. Although he did lean forward to grab the remote so he could turn on the tv.

The rest of the night was fairly quiet. Now that Beomgyu knew he was sick, he was realizing how miserable he actually felt. The manager was a little annoyed, but ultimately expected it. It’s why their schedules had been redone for mostly light work until the week before their comeback. As the group was eating dinner and watching tv, the most recent member to fall sick fell asleep on Yeonjun’s shoulder.

“You’re still running a good fever” Yeonjun sighed, settling the thermometer back on Soobin’s bedside table.

“I figured as much. I feel…weird…” Soobin replied sadly. “How’re the others?” Soobin couldn’t help but worry about his dongsaengs even after 36 hours of being sick in bed.

“Kai is still staying with his family. I told him not to come back until everyone is feeling better. Taehyun is starting to feel better. He said he hasn’t been nauseous at all today.” Yeonjun hiccuped, unconsciously rubbing his stomach. “Gyu’s been sleeping all day. He called manager-hyung and said that he was feeling better but was put straight back to bed the minute hyung walked in and got one look at him.”

Soobin chuckled at that before grimacing with pain as his head throbbed. “His temperature is manageable though?” The discomfort was evident in his voice.

Yeonjun nodded, pushing Soobin’s hair from his forehead. “I’ve been keeping an eye on it. Nothing to worry about. High enough to make him a little uncomfortable but low enough that it’s not keeping him awake.”

Soobin let out a deep breath. Yeonjun hadn’t noticed how tense Soobin had been but wasn’t surprised. Anytime the members weren’t feeling well the leader was on edge. Even when he himself was sick too.

“You should be asleep too” Yeonjun said softly, adjusting Soobin’s blankets around him before heading back to the door.

“Hyung” Soobin called after him, causing Yeonjun to turn around. “How are you feeling?”

Yeonjun rolled his eyes. He thought that he had been doing a better job hiding his own discomfort. The last thing Soobin needed was more to worry about.

“I’m totally fine…” Yeonjun began but was immediately interrupted by Soobin.

“Bullshit. Tell me what’s wrong” Soobin said. It wasn’t often that he pulled rank as leader with Yeonjun but when he did he left no room for Yeonjun to defy him.

“I’m a little feverish. And my stomach is a little weird. No big deal” Yeonjun replied.

“Hyung…” Soobin said with a sigh, gesturing for Yeonjun to come back into the room. “You’re sick. You need to rest.” Soobin slid over in his bed. Before Yeonjun could give it a second thought he found himself laying down and snuggling into Soobin’s side, Soobin’s feverish warmth melting some of the chill that he couldn’t seem to shake since he had warmed up.

Just as he was about to doze off there was a soft knock at the bedroom door followed immediately by the sound of the door opening, revealing Taehyun holding Beomgyu to his side, rubbing his arm.

“He had a nightmare. I told him you were both just fine but he didn’t believe me…” Taehyun said softly, still trying to comfort Beomgyu.

“We’re all good, Gyu! Come here. You shouldn’t be on your feet” Soobin said as he sat up, dismayed to see Beomgyu looking so unwell. “Hyunnie, you shouldn’t be up either.”

Taehyun shook his head quickly. “My fever broke earlier this afternoon and hasn’t come back. I’m happy to help. Especially now that I’m the only one who isn’t currently burning up from the looks of it” he added, gesturing toward Yeonjun, who was distracted with his crying dongsaeng.

“Thanks,” Soobin said quietly with a smile as Taehyun stepped out of the room. Within a few minutes Yeonjun, Soobin and Beomgyu had managed to get comfortable enough to get back to sleep where they stayed until Yeonjun was roused by the door opening again.

“I told you not to come back yet” Yeonjun said, his voice thick with sleep but Kai only smiled sadly in response.

“Taehyun told me that he was feeling better but that you were sick now,” Kai replied as he softly laid a cool compress across Soobin’s forehead and one on the exposed area of the nape of Beomgyu’s neck. “I thought he might need a hand” he added as he wiped Yeonjun’s rosy cheeks with the third cloth before laying it across his forehead. “Now go back to sleep before you wake these two up.”

“Thanks, Kai, goodnight” Yeonjun said softly before dozing off again.

No More Please- Sick Soobin (ft BTS Jin)

Part 2

Link to Part 1->

Sickie: Soobin

Content: fever, vomit/emeto, fever hallucinations, ignorance, hospitals, lots of angst and fluff, a little bit of BTS caring mainly Jin (this is after summing up all the parts)

A little recap of previous part and let's continue~

"What is your problem seriously, why are you so careless?! Does our time or schedule have no value to you?!! This is not expected from a leader."

Soobin tried so hard to hold back his tears. Nothing was going well. First he didn't feel well, his ears were ringing and now everyone was angry at him. Could it be any worse?

Soobin held back his tears, as he tried to explain. "I'm so sorry, hyung. I felt so sick-" before he could go any futher Yeonjun rolled his eyes and said, "Such a drama queen. Now that you can't do anything properly, you're pretending to be sick. What more stories are you gonna tell? You have fever, you threw up etc etc? Huh?!"

Soobin felt betrayed. Even Taehyun was taken aback at this point. He saw Soobin hanging his head low, shoulders tense the whole time Yeonjun was giving him a lecture. Taehyun couldn't just stand and watch. He turned to Yeonjun, "hyung, please stop. I think you're crossing the limits. Soobin hyung isn't like that."

Of course Yeonjun wasn't buying that. He glared at Taehyun and Taehyun gulped in fear. No one dared to speak over Yeonjun, the eldest. Moreover, Beomgyu was on Yeonjun's side. Kai wasn't present and only Taehyun wanted to argue to defend the leader; and Soobin, well he was just trying to find ways to make the situation better.

Finally, Soobin cut off the silence, "Let's start the practice." No one said anything and the dance practice started. Soobin felt exhausted when the practice hadn't even fully started yet. It was just doing warm-ups. But he felt miserable. His stomach was cramping and he felt heavy. Not to mention he was sweating bullets without even doing much workout. But he pushed himself. Because no one was ready to even listen to him.

____________________________

1 hour passed. As much as Soobin wanted, he couldn't ask for a break because he knew exactly what would happen if he did. Everyone would get angry at him again.

Soobin tried, he really tried hard to go on with the flow. But no matter what he did, he kept messing things up. The dance instructor had warned him a few times already. Not to mention Yeonjun and Beomgyu's constant flares. Taehyun didn't glare, his expression was something Soobin couldn't quite make out.

"Soobin what's wrong with you today? I've lost count of how many times you've made mistakes!" their dance instructor yelled.

"I'm sorry, I'll try more." Soobin muttered in a low voice. Yeonjun became even more annoyed at this. "Yah! Can't you even speak properly?!"

"I'm sorry, I'll do better," Soobin repeated himself, speaking clearly this time. Soobin was getting frustrated at himself. Why couldn't he get things right? He felt like crying but he couldn't cry; he could only look at his members like a pathetic, trying to find a little comfort which he couldn't find. His members didn't have any sympathetic or loving gazes towards him at that moment. He felt miserable.

Another few hours passed. Soobin was barely surviving. The music was playing, and he was dancing totally relying on muscle memory. He felt so hot, sticky and heavy. His stomach was aching more than he could withstand without groaning. At one point he felt like passing out, he wanted to at least sit down.

Soobin knew neither his members nor the dance instructor would let him take a break. But his body couldn't take it anymore as he sat down in the middle of the choreo, breathing heavily with eyes closed. He felt like throwing up.

Before anyone could utter a word or yell at him, he spoke up, "I n-need a break. J-just 5 minutes please." He trying his best not to stutter. He didn't want to be labelled again as a drama queen.

"You can't be serious right now Soobin, we just had a break an hour ago!" Yeonjun yelled.

Soobin didn't say anything, he got up and said, "I'll be back." He walked normally while exiting the practice room because he had to act like he was fine. Because everytime he wanted to say he wasn't feeling okay, or showed any signs of weakness, he'd be yelled at. He had no choice but to act normal in front of them.

They were 5 people who trusted each other like family, yet Soobin didn't know why he felt so lonely right now, when he needed their comfort the most. He felt like he was alone, struggling to do things properly.

As soon as he exited the practice room he was limping, clutching his stomach. As he made his way to the bathroom, at one point he didn't know if he could make it to the bathroom anymore. His stomach was churning painfully, his body felt so heavy he thought either he'd throw up on the floor right then or pass out. He took deep breaths to calm down, nothing was working. His world was swirling, even walking straight felt like an extremely hard task.

Soobin finally reached the washroom which he thought he wouldn't be able to make it. As soon as he got himself into a stall, he collapsed in front of the toilet, retching and vomiting violently. He squeezed his eyes and clutched his stomach in pain. He gagged and choked as his eyes widened. He coughed, and heaved again and again. Everything hurt. He started crying at some point.

When he finally finished, he slumped against the wall, closing his eyes, his breathing unstable and shaky. He had no energy left. He was sure he had a fever now, the weird stickiness and chills definitely indicated fever.

Soobin needed help, he wanted to call someone to help him but who? Everyone was mad at him, no one cared. Not a single one of his members cared. He felt so lonely. He thought of calling Kai once but immediately thought against it as the maknae was already sick and resting at home. That's when Soobin heard his phone ringing, 'Yeonjun Hyung' it read.

Should he pick it up?

After arguing with himself a thousand times, he picked it up. Soobin was so weak he didn't even have the energy to say hello or hold the phone to his ears. He put it on speaker and let it fall onto his lap.

Yelling was the first thing he heard. "CHOI SOOBIN! WHERE ARE YOU?! DO YOU KNOW AFTER SAYING 5 MINUTES HOW MUCH TIME YOU SPENT?!! HUH?!" it was Yeonjun. Much expected.

But Soobin didn't expect Beomgyu, who was younger than him, to yell at him too. "HYUNG WHY ARE YOU SO CARELESS? DO YOU EVEN HAVE ANY SHAMNE THAT THE WHOLE GROUP IS LAGGING BEHIND BECAUSE OF YOU?" As bad as Soobin felt because of sickness, he felt even worse to be treated like this by his own members. Endless tears were streaming down his face.

Taehyun was speaking now. They probably put the phone on speaker and now everyone was taking turns in scolding him.

"Hyung are you oka-" Soobin hung up. He didn't want to hear it anymore. He was so sick of being scolded. He didn't even know he was sobbing loudly until someone knocked on the door. He didn't answer, he knew it was Yeonjun. He hugged his knees and buried his head over it. He didn't want to be yelled at again.

Someone pushed open the door as it wasn't locked. Soobin thought it would be one of his angry members. He heard someone gasp. "Omg Soobin! Is that you?"

He felt someone placing their hand on his shoulder but he slapped it right away, sobbing even harder, "N-no m-more Please. No m-more- s-scolds."

He took a shaky breath. He felt a hand being placed on his shoulder again, "Soobin! Listen to me," Soobin slapped it away with all the energy he had, "NO!" He was stuttering badly. "Pl-please s-stop- scolding. I-I c-can't take it an-anymore." He was hyperventilating at this point. All of a sudden, his stomach turned as he lurched forward with gag, vomit pouring on his lap as he couldn't make it to the toilet bowl. He heaved again as Jin held him to keep him away from his own mess which didn't help much since Soobin had already vomited on his pants. "I-I'm s-sorry. I'm so sorry p-please d-don't yell." He was a crying, sobbing mess, traumatized in one word.

Soobin didn't know who the person was but that person didn't scold him, rather handed him with such gentle hands, rubbing his back and telling him it's going to be okay. He wanted warmth and this person's warmth pulled him close, making him relax as he was felt like he was freezing.

It was Jin from BTS. He was shocked to see Soobin like that. But before anything, he needed to help the younger out. He cradled Soobin in his arms, gently stroking his sweaty hair and giving back rubs. He could feel the intense heat rading from the younger, indicating the poor boy had a pretty high fever.

After Jin coaxing Soobin for a while, he had stopped crying but still violently shivering and slurring in a feverish delirium. Jin was so sure Soobin was mistreated either by his members, or the manager and whoever had done this to Soobin, he wasn't going to let them go so easily.

Karma waiting in the next part🤧

Take it easy, take a breath

A school au featuring a sick Taehyun with a stomach bug.

Everyone in the classroom or even outside it knew that Taehyun was a good student, —the best as the teachers said— always worrying about his grades, his projects always won the first place, his tests had the perfect score all the time.

Everyone thought he was just a prodigy, but only his closest friends knew how hard he worked, and how it always ends up catching onto him.

When exams period finishes and they have a few days of vacation Taehyun sleeps. He could spend all his break sleeping and only going out of his room to eat when his mom calls him to do so.

This time feels... different.

Midterms are starting tomorrow and even if Taehyun did study in advance he still feels it isn't enough, but he just can't seem to focus. Spring is around the corner but he feels hot, as if it were summer, the air in his room feels stuffier, his head feels heavy and there's a weird feeling deep down in his belly.

Okay it's a sunday afternoon, maybe just this once he could take a break, so he closes his books as he sighs deeply when a wave of dizziness washes over him, going to his bed and covering himself with the covers, now feeling really cold.

Taehyun didn't know when he had fallen asleep but he woke up at night, a figure standing on the doorframe, it was his mother telling him that dinner was ready.

He got out of bed feeling a little better, maybe it was just exhaustion so after eating he could sleep again and be in perfect shape for tomorrow's exam.

When he sat down both of his parents looked at him with concerned faces.

"Honey, are you feeling okay? you're really pale" his mother placed a hand on his forehead as she spoke. "Yes mom, just tired, you know I have tests this week" trying to reassure his parents was kind of working, they continued to eat their dinner, Taehyun felt full after some bites but he ate just half of it.

"Mom, I'm not that hungry, I'm going to sleep, thanks and goodnight" he grabbed his plate to put it on the kitchen counter and then went to brush his teeth, confirming that yes, he was indeed pale.

Okay, maybe a good night of sleep will get him to feel alright.

The clock read 2:00 am, Taehyun couldn't sleep. His body was or too hot or too cold, and the mattress felt uncomfortably sweaty as well as his shirt, he's sure he had fever dreams all night.

Now the clock reads 7:00 am, Taehyun needs to get ready for school, but his body feels all heavy so that morning he was slower than usual.

He tried to skip breakfast but his mom made him eat at least a sandwich and a glass of orange juice, his stomach feeling weird and now full made his walk to school feel like hell.

"Good morning Taehyunnie, how was your— wow, are you okay? You don't look so good" Beomgyu, his best friend and classmate was always the first one to greet him, now completely worried about him.

"Couldn't sleep that well last night, maybe it's the stress" he sat on his desk and rested his head on his arms, he had to make it until the exam, then he could leave and be miserable in his room.

Beomgyu sat beside him and rubbed his back, it was obvious his friend wasn't okay but he wasn't going to say it out loud and upset Taehyun, a comfortable silence surrounded them until the rest of students arrived.

During class, Taehyun gave up on paying attention, his head hurt, his whole body felt as if he was on fire but freezing at the same time, so he tried to sleep. The teachers saw how pale he looked so they didn't say anything, Beomgyu talked to them too saying that Taehyun was sick but he won't admit it until it's late.

It was lunchtime, Beomgyu didn't have the heart to wake Taehyun and decided to stay with him, he was lucky enough to have something to eat in his backpack.

When Beomgyu finished eating Taehyun opened his eyes and stretched his arms and neck, noticing the classroom was empty and only Beomgyu was there he thought it was a dream until the latter spoke up.

"You looked pretty tired so I couldn't wake you up, how are you feeling?" Taehyun didn't see the point in lying anymore, Beomgyu knew he was sick.

"I feel like crap, I just wanna take that damn exam and go home"

"You are the teacher's favorite you can take the exam another day, go home and rest" Beomgyu tried persuading him but it was to no avail.

"No, it's fine, I can make it".

He couldn't make it.

As soon as everyone was handed the exam his anxiety increased and now he felt nauseous, extremely nauseous.

Halfway through the exam Taehyun stopped writing, feeling dizzy when he tried to read and understand what he had to do, if he kept on trying he would throw up right there and then.

The teacher, a middle aged lady, was walking around the class to make sure no one was cheating, but when she walked through Taehyun's desk she got concerned as she saw the boy looking pale, sweating, with his eyes closed and both of his hands covering his mouth as he tried to take deep breaths to ease the nausea away.

"Taehyun, dear, if you're not feeling well you are excused to go to the nurse's office, take the exam when you know what you're writing, go and rest."

The boy did as told, with one hand still covering his mouth he got out of the classroom but first he went to the bathroom, he was going to puke any time soon.

His things? Beomgyu could help with that, right now the only thing that matters is getting into a stall before it's too late, when Taehyun did so, he kneeled in front of the toilet and waited for the inevitable, leaning forward with a couple of empty gags as all his uniform was absorbing his sweat.

And finally, it started with a wet cough.

His breakfast making a reappearance, that damn orange juice burning everything from inside of him and tasting so gross.

Another cough brought up more while Taehyun held his stomach, trying to catch his breathing but that task seemed impossible when the vomit went through his nose too, chunks and everything.

And to make matters worse, just as he was finishing this first round (he knew it wouldn't be the last one) Taehyun was so exhausted that he felt like he was going to pass out, and he did so but before it happened he managed to text Beomgyu for help.

Bathroom second floor

Sent 12:39

When the exam was finished Beomgyu checked his phone just in case and when he saw Taehyun's text he knew immediately what was going on.

Everyone was dismissed, thankfully almost no one went to the bathroom on the second floor because it was practically hidden, like in a corner of the hallway.

Beomgyu grabbed Taehyun's things and started looking for him.

As Beomgyu was hoping, the bathroom was almost empty, almost because one of the stalls had a pair of legs standing out, the door without lock, it was indeed Taehyun, looking paler, sweaty and on the toilet was still the traces of Taehyun getting sick.

Beomgyu flushed the toilet and used some toilet paper to carefully clean Taehyun's mouth as the younger started waking up.

Still too out of it, Taehyun was muttering something but Beomgyu couldn't quite understand it, just hearing the words "home" and "bed", the older replying to him with a "Yes Taehyun, now we can get you home and you can rest in your bed, it's alright now".

They waited ther for a couple of minutes until Taehyun felt ready to leave the stall, Beomgyu calling a cab to Taehyun's house.

"Hyung 'm still nauseous..." Taehyun muttered under his breath as he was resting his head in Beomgyu's shoulder, they were in the taxi by then, the latter a little bit worried Taehyun might throw up on him but still he didn't have the heart to push him away.

"It's okay, just endure it a bit longer we're almost there".

As soon as the taxi stopped Taehyun got out and went inside the house almost running, while Beomgyu was paying to the driver.

Beomgyu found Taehyun in the guest's bathroom on the first floor, heaving over the sink, the toilet seemed to be so far away in the rush of the moment.

Taehyun brought up some more bile and stomach acid, everything was spinning and his grip on the sink was getting weaker, Beomgyu had to support him until he was able to move away.

"You wanna go to your room or maybe stay in the couch?" Taehyun thought a bit until he murmured "Bed, please" and Beomgyu took him there, Taehyun immediately taking off his uniform and staying only in boxers, laying down on his bed and kicking off the covers. "Hey no, you'll get sicker if you sleep like that, at least put a shirt on" the older tried, Taehyun just grunted and said "No, too hot" Beomgyu then remembered Taehyun was feverish, he had to cool him down so he went to get a washcloth and some cold water, pressing it on Taehyun's chest until the fever looked like it went down.

Beomgyu covered him and let him sleep, texting Taehyun's mother to update her on her son's condition, she replied saying she was relieved he could take care of her Taehyunnie and asking him to stay with her son until she could get home.

Just then, Taehyun woke up and heaved by the side of his bed, a little bit of water and stomach bile came up and he was left dry heaving while Beomgyu patted his back, waiting for the younger to calm down a little and clean up the small puddle of sick.

"M' sorry..." Taehyun said with a sad tone on his voice, Beomgyu ruffled his hair and told him "It's okay, this things happen, are you feeling any better?" to that Taehyun shook his head, "Go back to sleep, I'll put a trashcan near and I'll get you some water" the younger just laid there, trying to get comfortable but with the way everything ached it seemed impossible.

"Here, drink some water, if it stays down you'll try with a pill" Beomgyu handed him the glass of water and Taehyun took a couple of tiny sips, the feeling of the water going down his throat felt heavenly as it soothed a bit of the scratchiness all the puking left him.

When the water stayed down he tried taking a pill, sadly it came back up 10 minutes later so it was to not use.

By then Taehyun was feeling so sick and frustrated that he started crying, Beomgyu once again by his side telling him that it was okay and everyone got sick like this once in a while.

"I'm so tired but I can't rest and everything aches and... it's just too fucking much" Taehyun said between sobs, Beomgyu reassuring him and trying to calm him down.

Taehyun fell asleep after crying, Beomgyu went to the kitchen to find something to eat and maybe a little snack for Taehyun.

At 7:00 pm Taehyun's parents came and thanked Beomgyu for staying by their son's side, he bid them goodbye and left a note on Taehyun's nightstand wishing he felt better soon and to take his meds.

Hours later, Taehyun woke up to the whole room dark, it was past midnight, he felt so thirsty so he tried with the water once again, going back to sleep.

At morning, Taehyun's mom entered the room and felt her son's forehead, the fever was still there but not too high, she left him medicines and a sports drink for him to not dehydrate too much.

Taehyun woke up at 11:00 am, confused about where he was and what time was it, and why the hell wasn't he at school, but his stomach decided to respond to that question as it churned and cramped.

The curtains were closed so his room wasn't that illuminated, he thanked whoever had left them like that, as his head was also hurting like a bitch.

His hand was rubbing circles on his abdomen to try and soothe some of the pain, as the pressure went down a bit more and he knew he had to go to the bathroom to avoid any mess.

When he was done, he crawled back into bed, now he felt like freezing so he took a hoodie he had lying somewhere near his desk and a pair of joggers, and tried to go back to sleep, not interested in what was on his nightstand.

Taehyun tossed and turned but he couldn't get comfortable, so he decided to look at his phone for a while, just then a text from Beomgyu appeared on his notifications.

–Hey Taehyunnie, are u feeling any better?

–Remember to try and take some medicine and to stay hydrated

–I know it might be a little hard now but it'll pass soon, I promise (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

Well, he didn't feel like puking right now, he was feeling thirsty, so he opened the bottle of sports drink and sipped on it carefully, also taking the medicine and a few minutes later he fell asleep again.

What he didn't expect was Beomgyu being there when he woke up, apparently school had already ended.

"Hey, your mom asked me to keep an eye on you today too, how are you feeling?" Taehyun felt his cold hand against his burning forehead, that damn fever ain't going nowhere.

Taehyun shrugged before answering verbally. "Dunno, not like yesterday but not that better, still off". He was pale, dark circles under his eyes, his eyes with no sparkle.

"It's because your body is still fighting that bug, you're probably gonna feel better after a couple of days more"

Taehyun didn't know if he was right, he still wanted to believe Beomgyu tho, being sick was the worst.

They spent the afternoon together watching some movies, sometimes Taehyun fell asleep, or got up to use the bathroom, Beomgyu having to stay behind the door hearing his friend dry heave or retch, if he needed anything he was near, if not he still let him have some privacy.

At the end of the day Taehyun fell asleep again, Beomgyu quietly leaving after Taehyun's parents arrived, no one wanting to disturb the poor sick guy who couldn't catch a break from emptying his guts all day.

Taehyun woke up, it was still dark but he realized he wasn't in his bed, so he went to his room again and tried to fall asleep again, failing at doing so because he noticed how his stomach was hurting, it wasn't bad enough to have him gasping for air or to make him feel nauseous again, but it was hurting and even if it wasn't intense, he knew it was there.

So he spent the rest of his night trying to soothe his discomfort by rubbing his middle; and at some point it worked, letting him fall asleep once again.

The cycle repeated for two more days but this time Taehyun's mom took those days off from work to take care of him, Taehyun feeling much better at the end of the week, finally eating something without it ending in the toilet or making his stomach hurt, having him regretting all his life choices, thinking "oh god why me?"

So, next monday he showed up to school, looking more alive and having to take some time extra after school to take exams and having some teachers summarizing all the things they did during the week Taehyun was asking what he did wrong to deserve that damn bug.

Found Me - R!Taehyun

tw: vomit & crying followed by lots of fluff

Taehyun was not feeling good. He was drained from just half a day of work after constantly waking up with stomach cramps and needing to use the bathroom. He wasn't sure if he ate something that upset his stomach or if he caught some sort of bug. No one else seemed to be having any troubles and they all ate the exact same things the day before.

Taehyun sighed to himself, resting his head on the wall behind him. The squeaking of Soobin and Yeonjun's shoes shifting along the polished floor made his ears unusually sensitive. He longed to be wrapped up in a cozy blanket after a nice warm shower. It was very chilly in the dance studio and his hoodie wasn't doing its job of keeping him warm. They had all agreed to lower the temperature of the room since they got sweaty from the strenuous activity, but now he was wishing he had objected.

There wasn't anything scheduled for them to do for a couple hours, so they were just messing around. Soobin and Yeonjun were making up stupid dances to entertain themselves and the other two boys had retreated to their phones. Taehyun wasn't interested in doing either. He was focused on the uncomfortable feeling settled in his abdomen and his heavy eyelids.

I want to go home already. My tummy hurts and I feel sick. Hyungies just notice already! He found his thoughts decreasing in vocabulary, subconsciously pouting at himself in the mirror.

Tummy hurts. Why did I think tummy?

"Uh oh."

Beomgyu turned his head towards Taehyun expectantly, waiting for him to continue.

"What?" He asked, after Taehyun blinked at him without another word.

"It's nothing. Do you- Do you think hyung will let me go home? I don't feel good." Taehyun half lied. He couldn't just start rambling about how he was mentally turning into a preschooler when the group hadn't any clue of what that was or why it happened.

He could just feel it within himself. The way his teeth chewed on his bottom lip, the room feeling bigger than before, his toes wiggling in his shoes, and the light haze starting to cloud his mind.

"Well, what's wrong? What's not feeling good?" Beomgyu asked. He could tell something was wrong by the anxious look in Taehyun's owl eyes. Again, it took longer than it should for him to respond.

"My stomach. I was up and down all night because of it, so I'm really tired now, too. I don't know." He added the last part to make it easier to just brush away if Beomgyu didn't take him seriously.

"Oh, sorry I didn't realize. I'm guessing practice made it worse?"

Taehyun nodded, suppressing a whimper from a sudden cramp around his middle.

"C-Can you tell Soobin hyung? 'm going to the bathroom." He said hastily, getting up from the floor and speed walking out the door.

"What was that about?" Huening kai asked.

"Taehyunnie feels sick." Beomgyu mumbled back. "Hey, Soobin hyung! Yah! Stop trying to touch each other's butts!" He called out.

"What do you want Gyu?" Yeonjun chuckled, his hands perched on his hips.

"Somethings wrong with Taehyun. He told me he doesn't feel good and wants to go home. Apparently, he was up most of the night." Beomgyu explained, side eyeing Kai, as he should've noticed his roommate getting up so much.

"Don't look at me! I slept like a corpse and had weird vivid dreams all night." Kai defended with hands up.

"I knew something was up." Soobin murmured. "Where'd he go?"

"Bathroom."

With that, Soobin exited the studio and walked to the mens bathroom. He stood outside the door for a moment, listening for anything out of the ordinary. What was the point in that? If Taehyun was sick he wouldn't be throwing a party in there. Soobin shook his head at himself and pushed the door open. The very first stall was the only one shut, with quiet crying coming from the other side.

"Taehyunnie? Are you okay?" He asked, taking a step closer. The noise stopped abruptly for a second and turned into what sounded like someone pretending they didn't need to catch their breath.

"If you want me gone that's fine, just tell me."

"N-No..."

Soobin's hands fidgeted with anxiety after hearing Taehyun's strained voice.

"Open the door for me, okay?" He encouraged, glancing to the side when another figured entered the space. It was just Yeonjun. He looked to Soobin to confirm if Taehyun was in there.

"Yeonjun hyung is here, too. You don't sound good in there, Taehyun."

Concern grew on Yeonjun's face when he heard Taehyun whine something incoherent and jumbled. It was followed by some shuffling and then sitting on the floor, Taehyun peaked his head around the door and looked up at the two. Unshed tears watered his eyes and his hoodie sleeves were spotted with saliva and vomit near the cuffs.

"Oh, honey." Soobin said sympathetically, sinking to his knees. He pushed Taehyun's hood back and felt the heat radiating from his body.

Taehyun whimpered nervously. He wasn't his normal self anymore, he was still Taehyun, just much smaller and more vulnerable. His big self refused to give into the way his little self wanted to be babied by his hyungs. It would completely blow his cover! But, he felt so awful, it was all he could think about.

"Hey, it's okay. We'll take care of you." Soobin said quietly when he saw Taehyun start to cry.

"Here, you can put my sweatshirt on instead." Yeonjun offered, tugging the fabric over his head.

"Let Binnie take yours off for you."

Taehyun gazed up at Soobin and lifted his arms so his hoodie could be taken off. He shuddered when the cold air hit his arms that were damp with sweat. He made grabby hands to Yeonjun, silently asking for his help. Soobin wiped his eyes and mouth with toilet paper before Yeonjun sacrificed his clothes. The hoodie was a couple sizes too big for Taehyun, but it made him feel much smaller, like a little baby.

"Baby.." He mumbled, putting his thumb in his mouth.

"Baby? I mean, you'll always be our baby." Yeonjun smiled, albeit confused at the random word.

"Mm- Tummy hurts. Wanna go ni' night."

Taehyun was so far gone that he didn't catch the quizzical stares observing him. Yeonjun and Soobin weren't sure how to approach what was happening with their friend. It wasn't everyday that they suddenly acted like a toddler. Well, maybe Kai, but that was just aegyo and his personality. This was different. Taehyun didn't seem fully present.

"Baba.." He whimpered, crawling into Soobin's lap and curling up against him.

"Hi, honey. Let's get you home now. You need your rest, yeah?" Soobin said. He thought the odd behavior was some strange symptom of Taehyun's fever, and he wanted to ask a lot of questions, but he didn't think it would do any good for the time being.

Soobin stood up carefully with Taehyun in his arms, supported on his hip. He suggested that Yeonjun gather the other boys and meet up back at home. Taehyun glued himself to Soobin the entire way back to the dorm, falling in and out of sleep. He grimaced now and then when a new smell passed his nose or his head throbbed a little too hard. Eventually, he woke up from the beeping of their highly secure front door and slid out of Soobin's arm to sit on the floor. He watched Soobin kick off his shoes and stared down helplessly at his laces.

"Need help, Baba." He murmured. Soobin smiled softly and kneeled to help him take off his shoes.

"There you go. Do you want something to eat?"

Taehyun shook his head, his tummy still felt weird and hurt a little bit. Soobin watched him slouch away to his bedroom and sent a text to the others that they were home. He could hear some thumping coming from Taehyun's room and went to investigate. Around the doorway, he saw Taehyun on the floor with his upper body under his bed. A pair of old shoes, some books and storage bins had been pulled out and sat messily beside him.

Taehyun kicked one leg up and made an accomplished squeak. The he pushed himself out from under his bed with a dark blue box about the size of two shoe boxes. He didn't acknowledge Soobin, only sparing him a glance before climbing into his bed. Soobin watched curiously as Taehyun popped the lid off his box. His eyebrows furrowed when the boy held a sippy cup up towards him. It was white with a green lid and had a cute graphic of a zebra, giraffe, and lion on the side.

"Where'd that come from?" He asked curiously. Taehyun pointed bluntly to the box which made Soobin smile.

"No, I meant why do you have that?"

Taehyun pointed to the cup and then himself.

"Juice..." He mumbled, lowering the cup and holding it in his lap.

"O-Okay, uhm I think we still have some. Unless Hyuka secretly chugged the rest of it."

A cute giggle came from Taehyun, as he slowly rocked back and forth with a smile. His special Soobie-hyung didn't say anything mean to him!

"I'll uh, be right back. You should change to something comfy." Soobin said, leaving the room promptly after. He had no idea what he was doing, but concluded that it would all be okay if he followed Tae's lead.

When he returned Taehyun was in the exact same spot, still in his regular clothes. He was shivering and his eyes were all droopy. Soobin had almost forgotten why they came home in the first place. Taehyun seemed to brighten up for a few minutes when they got home, but his energy had clearly diminished.

"Here's your juice." Soobin said softly, crossing the room and sitting down on the edge of Taehyun's bed.

Taehyun took the sippy cup back and held it up to his mouth to bite. Soobin watched curiously until he eventually took a couple small sips. The older got up and grabbed a clean sweatshirt and sweatpants to help him change into.

"Do you need help changing, baby? Is that why you stayed on your bed?" Soobin asked, as he guided the little out of bed.

"Need 'elp." Taehyun repeated. He whimpered when he was stood on two feet and got hit with a bad dizzy spell.

"It's okay. We'll be quick." Soobin reassured. "Arms up, tyunnie." Taehyun was very easy to change and clung to Soobin like a koala bear when they were done.

"Cutie. Would you like watch a movie?"

"Mhmp."

"I take that as a yes?"

"Movie." Taehyun whispered.

Soobin chuckled affectionately and picked Taehyun up into his arms. Like a nervous rabbit, Taehyun burrowed his face into Soobin's shoulder and remained that way until they were sat on the sofa. Soobin kissed his head, draped a soft starry blanket over his back and played with his hair. Taehyun was rarely this cuddly, so he was going to enjoy it while it lasted.

"There's a lot of movies to choose from. Do you have any ideas?" Soobin asked.

"One with kitties." He requested cutely.

"Hmmm kitties you say..." Soobin exaggerated his thinking expression by holding his chin.

"Aristocats? There's also Hello Kitty and The Cat Returns."

"A-istocats." Taehyun picked.

"Sounds good to me."

They cuddled together as the movie played out. About twenty minutes in, Soobin noticed Taehyun squirming around every so often. He suddenly started whimpering and urgently tried to get off of Soobin. He stumbled onto the floor and only took a few steps before collapsing.

"What's wrong?!" Soobin asked, a hint a fear in his worried voice.

Taehyun lurched, starting to heave and gag. Some sort of hidden Dad instincts Soobin didn't know he had kicked in and he snatched Taehyun off the floor and ran with him in his arms to the bathroom. They didn't make it to the toilet, instead Taehyun threw up into the bath tub. He sobbed between each round, his stomach aching and throat burning.

"Oh, I know sweetie. You're okay, Tyunnie. Just breathe, it's okay." Soobin cooed, taking down the shower head and turning on the water.

He avoided spraying Taehyun in the face and aimed the water so it rinsed the mess down the drain. Taehyun continued to cry, using the tub edge as a pillow. Soobin got him to sit up and collected some of the water in his hand to help him clean out his mouth. He felt like a father taking care of his child, he didn't care what mess was made, just that his baby was okay and taken care of.

When the tub was rinsed out Soobin shut off the water and gathered Taehyun in his arms. They sat on the floor together, letting the adrenaline slowly diminish. Taehyun sniffled, no longer sobbing. He was completely worn out from his day. Regressing out of no where was tiring in general, add a fever and tummy bug on top and Taehyun would say he felt like he was going to fall into a coma.

"I'm so sorry you're sick. You'll feel better soon. I told the others to grab some popsicles and medicine to help you feel better." Soobin said, taking Taehyun's mind off of throwing up.

"Baba bed." He murmured. "Tired."

"Honey, why are you calling me baba? I don't mind, I just don't know why you've been acting like this." Soobin asked. He was desperate to know what was going on with him. Taehyun whined and took a minute to gather his thoughts.

"I'm weird, I know it's weird. My mind turns little like-like a kid. It makes me feel better when everythin's too much." Taehyun confessed, breaking off into shoulder shaking sobs. Soobin hugged him closer while he let his words sink in.

"Shhh, it okay. Tell me more, love."

"I can't help it, hyung. I'm sorry! Please don't hate me! Little Taehyunnie needs you!" Taehyun couldn't stop crying. He was overcome with the fear of rejection.

"We'd never hate you. Never! I just need you to explain it a little more, it's okay." Soobin said, guiding Taehyun to rest his head on his shoulder.

"What do you do when you feel like a kid?"

"Borrow Ningies plushies and hide in my bed. If no one's there I watch kid shows all alone a-and wish someone would take care of me." Taehyun let the words tumble past his lips. It was so relieving to finally talk about his secret, but it was just as terrifying.

"I get so lonely and small that I just cry til it all goes away. Everything gets harder to do and more confusing...It's so scary telling you this."

"I know, but I'm so glad you did. It sounds familiar. I think my psychiatrist told me about it when we started going over trauma stuff. It's Age Regressing right?" Soobin spoke softly. Taehyun's heart filled with stars at his words. He knew. His hyung knew! It was like he had been falling for miles and just landed in a strong secure set of arms.

"Mhm."

"Aha, I can see how hard that would be to talk about. You're precious to us, Taehyun, and you always will be. You're never alone. You can always come to me when you feel little." Soobin said lovingly.

He coddled Taehyun for awhile longer, whispering sweet reassurances into his ear and rubbing his back. With the comfort of being taken care of and held, Taehyun quickly grew sleepy again.

"Bed." He murmured. "Tired."

"I'm sure you are. C'mon, you can sleep in my room."

you push taehyun through the door to your dorm, coaxing him to sit down on the couch. he sniffles, watching as you rush around the room to grab a blanket, bottle of water, and a box of tissues for him. you wrap the blanket around him so it drapes off of his shoulders. 

taehyun looks up at you as you bring a hand up to his cheek, tilting his head up before raising it to his forehead. his skin is hot to the touch. you silently curse to yourself. 

he has a fever. it’s probably the flu. you should make soup and get him some medication. he’ll need to rest for at least a few days to fully recover. you need to call soobin to let him know. what about practice- 

your thoughts are interrupted when taehyun leans up to press his lips against yours. it’s quick - only a small peck. he laughs as you stare at him in surprise. 

you roll your eyes, looking away to hide how flustered you are. “don’t do that,” you murmur. “you’re gonna get me sick too.” 

taehyun stands up, draping the blanket across the back of the couch. “i’m not sick.” 

“yes, you are.” you push him back down, wrapping the blanket around him again. “you have a fever. don’t make me call soobin over to take care of you.” 

“fine,” he sighs, finally relenting. as much as he loves the rest of the boys, he would much rather have his lover home with him to take care of him. 

“stay here. we have chicken stock in the fridge. i’ll make dakjuk.” 

“are you gonna stay with me?” 

“of course.” you brush his bangs out of his face, leaning down to press a quick kiss against his forehead. “i’m here to take care of you.” 

taehyun smiles, watching you walk into the kitchen. he reaches over to grab the remote to the tv, turning it on and finding the drama you’ve been watching. he cues up a new episode before pausing it to wait for your return, scrolling through his phone as he waits for you to finish making the dakjuk. 

you return with a spoon and a bottle of medicine in your hand. he bites back a sigh as you pour out a spoonful before holding it up to his mouth for him to take. despite the odd aftertaste he chokes it down with a bottle of water afterwards. 

you chuckle as he grimaces before putting the medicine back in its rightful place before throwing the spoon into the sink. “come here,” taehyun opens his arms. “i deserve cuddles after that.” you smile, laying down on the couch behind him. you wrap an arm around his waist, pulling him back against your chest. taehyun presses play on the remote, nuzzling into your touch as he relaxes into your hold. 

he only makes it a few minutes into the episode before his eyelids start to feel heavier, threatening to flutter closed. he shifts to try and force himself to stay awake. you prop yourself up on your elbow, brushing your fingers through taehyun’s hair. he sighs, relaxing against your touch. “you’re gonna make me fall asleep.” 

“that’s the point.” he huffs but leans back into your touch. “sleep. i’ll wake you up when the dakjuk is done.” 

“okay.” the word is slightly muffled. “i love you.” 

you smile, leaning in to press a kiss against his shoulder. “i love you too.” 

⋆｡°✩ huening kai

word count 618 he's so bf i'm in love

kai groans a little as he trudges back to bed, curling into a ball beside you. you sleepily sit up, squinting at him in the darkness. “kai?” 

“did i wake you? i’m sorry.” 

“it’s okay.” you sit up, switching the lamp on your bedside table on. the brightness makes kai squint as he buries his face into your pillow. you sit up fully, brushing a hand through his hair. “why are you up this late? are you okay?” 

“i’m fine.” his words are muffled. “i just don’t feel good.” 

you coax him to roll onto his side, brushing a hand against his forehead. it feels warm to the touch. “are you dizzy at all?” 

“yeah. i’ve had a headache since yesterday and i feel a little sick.” you hum, sitting up fully. kai shifts to lay in your lap as you continue playing with his hair. 

“it sounds like you have a fever.” 

“but what about practice?” 

“don’t worry about it, okay? just get some rest. we’ll see if you feel better tomorrow.“ 

kai's protests die on his tongue as your nails scratch against his scalp. you twist his curls against your fingers, happy to enjoy the quiet time with him. he fully relaxes against your body as he lets sleep fully overtake him. 

you’re gone the next morning when kai wakes up. the curtains are pulled closed, blocking out most of the sunlight that would’ve woken him earlier in their absence. he rolls onto his side, grabbing his phone. 11:24. 

he gasps, forcing himself to stand up. a new wave of dizziness hits him but he ignores it as he makes his way into the living room. he hears your voice before he sees you. you’re standing in the kitchen by the time he gets there, watching a simmering pot on the stove. 

kai sleepily stands in the living room, patiently waiting for you to end your call before speaking. “so i just let it sit for an hour? … okay, thank you again. i’m about to go wake him up now. … i’ll have him call you later.” he makes his way over to you, wrapping his arms around your waist and leaning against your back. you jump a little in surprise before chuckling. 

“good morning honey.” 

“we don’t have practice today?” 

“no,” you say, stirring the soup. “you’re sick, so they gave you the day off and soobin let me stay home to take care of you.” 

“you didn’t have to do that,” he whines. 

you turn around to face him, wrapping your arms around his shoulders. “i wanted to.” you grab his arm, leading him towards the couch with you. you grab a blanket from nearby, wrapping it around him in a makeshift cocoon. once he’s drowning in the fabric you pull out a penguin plush, handing it to him. “i was just about to come wake you. the soup is done.” 

you rush back to the kitchen, quickly preparing a bowl of soup for kai. you sit across from him on the couch, holding out a spoonful of soup. his face lights up as he tries it. “this is like what my mom used to make.” you sheepishly smile, holding out another spoonful for him. 

“i might’ve… called her and asked for the recipe.” 

“really?” kai stares at you with wide eyes for a few seconds before leaning in to press his lips against yours in a sweet kiss. you smile into it, pressing another peck against his lips before you pull away. “i love you.” 

“i love you too. now, finish your soup and then we can cuddle.” 

“thank you.” he whispers again, taking the bowl from you. 

“anything for you.”

leaders don’t take sick days (txt soobin centric)

ahhhhhh first time posting a sickfic on tumblr in a really long time :(( plz be kind!

------------------------------------

sickie: soobin

caretakers: txt

-------------

Soobin woke very early that morning, a pounding headache and stomach cramps disturbing his sleep.

He checked the time on his phone. 30 minutes until he had to be out of bed for a full day of practice before their upcoming comeback anyway.

Sighing, the boy slowly sat up and got out of bed, heading to the small kitchen area in their dorm. He began making breakfast for the other members as normal, but as he continued, the smell of the food cooking on the stove worsened his nausea.

No breakfast for him today then, he'll have to make black coffee and pain pills work.

He plated up the food for the younger members and went back into the bedrooms to wake them all up.

Within 5 minutes all of the boys were awake and in the kitchen, excited by the food that Soobin had cooked them for breakfast

"Looks great Hyung!" Hueningkai complimented as he sat down at the breakfast bar, plushie in tow.

Soobin forced a smile. "Thank you Hyuka, "

"Hyung? Where's your breakfast?" Taehyun asked, his mouth half-full with food. Directly next to him was Beomgyu, who had appeared to have fallen asleep again.

"I already ate Taehyunie, I got up early to get ready for practice" Soobin lied.

"Good idea Soobin-ah, we have lots to go through today" Yeonjun commented as he got up to put his empty plate in the sink.

All of the boys got up to go and get dressed for their hours of dance and vocal practice, before leaving for the practice rooms.

--

30 minutes into dance practice and Soobin did not feel good at all. His skin was flushed and clammy, more than it should be after 30 minutes of dancing. His head pounded with every step he took, and his stomach churned with every sharp movement he made.

His focus began to weaken and he began making stupid mistakes on simple parts of the choreography.

"Soobin-ah!" Yeonjun yelled with frustration. "You need to start getting this right! We don't have long until the album is released!"

"Sorry Yeonjun" Soobin hung his head and took a deep breath to avoid throwing up on the other boy's shoes.

"I know you're stressed, but we all are. You need to start putting in more effort"

They went through the choreography another four times until it was almost perfect.

On the fifth run-through, when Soobin turned quickly as was expected of him in the routine, his vision began to swim and he felt himself sway, unsteady on his feet. The background music and the sound of the other members' feet on the studio floor became distant and he felt himself begin to fall.

Before he had a chance to feel his body make contact with the floor, the world went black.

--

When he came to, Soobin opened his eyes to find the concerned faces of the other members looking down at him. Kai looked so scared, with tears rolling down his cheeks.

"What happened?" Soobin asked, his head throbbing worse than it had been all day.

"You passed out Hyung, " Taehyun said in a small worried voice.

"Are you feeling okay Soobin-ah?" Yeonjun asked from his side.

"I'll be fine, " Soobin said and tried to get up from the floor.

Taehyun's firm hand on his shoulder stopped him. "You hit the floor hard Soobinie, it's best to stay laying down on the floor a bit longer"

"Do you feel sick?" Beomgyu asked.

"My head hurts a bit."

"Soobinie, you completely blacked out. Be honest, are you sick?" Yeonjun asked.

Tears welled up in Soobin's eyes. "Yes."

"For how long?"

"Only since last night, I took some pain pills this morning but they didn't work, " Tears we're running down the leader's face.

"Hyung did you actually eat anything today?" Taehyun asked.

Soobin shook his head, a sob escaping his lips and cheeks turning red in humiliation. He was their leader. He wasn't supposed to show weakness.

"That will be why you passed out. Your blood sugar will be too low." Said Yeonjun. "C'mon, we'll get you back to the dorm."

Taehyun and Kai tried to help Soobin to sit up, only for the boy to throw up the remaining contents of his stomach on the practice room floor, only making the boy cry more.

"Shhhh Sooninie, it's okay." Yeonjun soothed. "We'll get someone to come and clean it up, don't worry." The older boy scooped Soobin up in his arms and carried him bridal style back to their dorm room.

Kai helped to pull back the sheets on Soobins bed, and Yeonjun laid him down in the bed gently.

"You don't need to do all of this, I'll be fine," Soobin said through closed eyes, the light in the room making them feel as if they were burning.

"Be quiet and let us look after you Hyung," said Kai.

"Why did you tell us that you felt this bad Soobinie?" Asked Beomgyu as he entered the bedroom with Taehyun in tow, carrying a glass of water and a bowl of plain rice.

"I'm your leader, I'm the one supposed to be looking after all of you." Soobin chuckled sadly, arms gripping his stomach in obvious pain.

"Don't be silly Soobin-ah, you're still our Hyung and deserve to be looked after," Yeonjun said, smoothing Soobin's damp hair. "Now, do you want to sleep or eat first?"

"Sleep." Said Soobin, already close to drifting off.

"Okay, get some rest Hyung, we'll be right outside okay?" Taehyun patted his shoulder

"Thank you," Soobin said, half asleep.

One by one the other boys left the room, leaving only Hueningkai. The youngest boy approached his leader and tucked one of his many plushies into bed with the sick boy.

"Get well soon Hyungie,"  Kai said softly, pressing a kiss into Soobin's hair before leaving the room and closing the door behind him.

Soobin gave in the the tiredness and let sleep overcome him...
