The door swung open probably a minute after Beomgyu rang the doorbell. He was greeted by Taehyun's pale and tired face.

"Hyung, what are you doing here?" Taehyun mumbled. Beomgyu frowned in worry at the younger's state and gently led him back into the dorm.

"I'm taking care of you." Beomgyu replied as he tucked Taehyun back in bed. Taehyun tried to push Beomgyu's hands away. "No... You have class, go."

Beomgyu pursed his lips. "I don't. Come on, you're unwell. Let me take care of you Hyun. I promise you're not bothering me."

Taehyun remained quiet and Beomgyu took it as a sign of defeat. "Have you eaten?" Beomgyu asked and Taehyun shook his head.

"Okay, I bought you the best porridge on campus for the sick and well. Hold on I'll prepare it."

Beomgyu dashed off to get the bed tray he spotted earlier when stepped in the dorm. He washed the utensils needed and quickly returned to the poor boy in the bedroom.

When he returned, Taehyun was already sitting up on his bed. Beomgyu turned a little red when he felt Taehyun's hot breath fanning on his neck as he leaned over to place the tray and open up the food container.

"Dig in." Beomgyu said and took the cloth on Taehyun's head to wet again since it was feeling quite warm already.

From Beomgyu's observation, Taehyun's dorm was quite neat except for in his bedroom. Probably because of his sickly state.

Beomgyu returned to Taehyun's side and felt his forehead to check his temperature. "You're still heating up." Beomgyu mumbled as he used the newly wet towel to wipe Taehyun's face and neck while trying to not disrupt his eating.

It failed though when Beomgyu soon realised Taehyun had stopped eating and stared at him. Beomgyu blinked. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell anywhere else? Or am I disturbing your eating?"

Taehyun seemed to have returned to reality and shook his and continued eating. Beomgyu shrugged it off and continued on with his task.

Once he was done, he sat next to the younger and ate with him in comfortable silence.

"Here, drink this then go to sleep." Beomgyu handed Taehyun a cup of hot honey lemon. The other took it with a weak but grateful smile. "Thanks hyung."

Beomgyu gently fixed Taehyun's hair. "No problem. Hyung will take care of you." He replied with a fond smile.

Beomgyu waited patiently for Taehyun finish before grabbing the empty cup and tucking him into bed. "Rest well Hyunnie. You'll feel better once you wake up."

Taehyun hummed with a tiny smile on his face and slowly drifted off to sleep.
