- fourty eight -

san quietly got up and went to the bathroom, beginning to run wooyoung an ice bath to help the poor boy's sore body. while the water was running, san went and got ice to place in the bath, then once he did, he turned off the water and went to wake wooyoung.

"wooyoung, my love... wake up, i ran an ice bath for you to help with the soreness."

wooyoung whined slightly as he woke up, causing a light smile on san's face.

"i don't wanna..."

"why not, love?"

"i-i don't want to be cold."

"i'll stay in the room with you, love. and right after i'll get a hot shower started for you to help warm you up. or even better, i'll be ready for cuddles and i'll have one of my hoodies waiting for you."

"that sounds nice..."

"c'mon, woo. i'll carry you, yeah?"

wooyoung nodded slightly, whimpering.

"shh... i've got you, baby."

san lifted wooyoung up and carried him to the bathroom, then sat him on the toilet and helped him to get undressed before lifting him up again and lowering him slowly into the water.

"c-cold! sannie, i-i don't want to..."

"trust me, woo. it won't feel as cold after a couple of minutes."

"o-okay.." wooyoung whispered, allowing san to finish lowering him into the water.

wooyoung whined a bit and gripped san's hand tightly, causing san to press light kisses to the younger's forehead.

"i'm here, love. just close your eyes and relax, it'll feel good soon."

wooyoung obliged and closed his eyes, still tightly gripping san's hand.

"tell me when it starts to feel nice, yeah? i'll go grab you one of my hoodies and some boxers then."

"s-sweatpants too..."

"and sweatpants. of course, woo. anything you'd like."

"sannie? i-i'm sorry..." wooyoung whispered, his eyes watering a bit.

"shh... hey, what do you even have to be sorry for? you're okay, bub."

"i-i upset you... a-and probably scared you too w-when you heard me screaming on the other side of the door..."

"woo... you didn't upset me, i assumed something that was completely opposite of what was actually happening and got upset by it. that's my own fault and i know it. and yeah... i was scared something happened, but i'm so glad i opened the door when i did, because you could've really hurt yourself, love. but you don't have to apologize for scaring me... i should be apologizing for scaring you. i'm so sorry that you thought i was going to hurt myself... i should've just told you i wanted some alone time to think instead of just going and locking the door like that."

"i-i'm still s-so sorry..." wooyoung whimpered, letting his tears fall freely.

"woo... love, you didn't do anything wrong, don't apologize..."

"i-i just... i-i know you've been having a r-really hard time recently... a-and i... i-i want to be enough to get you through this... i-i just don't feel like i am. i-i know you say i'm enough to save you, but i don't see it. i-i feel like i should be doing more to help y-you... but i don't know what..."

san gently wiped the tears from wooyoung's cheeks and kissed his forehead again, then brushed some hair out of the younger's eyes before responding.

"whether you believe it or not, you're always going to be more than enough for me, my love. just being here and letting me lean on you when i'm having a hard time, giving me all of your love... that's all i could ever ask for. that gives me the strength i need to get through each day. you don't have to do anything more, you still need to be able to take care of yourself too..."
