Sickie: Minho
Caregivers: September-Twins
No one's POV.:
Minho had caught a runny nose about a week ago. He didn't really feel sick at all and he knew his nose had always been sensitive, so it wouldn't be a surprise if the weather changes were messing with it. The temperatures had dropped significantly last week and it had been rather windy since then. Already used to being a bit sniffly during the colder seasons, Minho didn't think he had caught a cold, so he didn't let his runny nose stop him from going over his day as usual. He'd just have to make sure to take some tissues everywhere he went. The group too knew that little quirk of his and didn't think much of their friend's sniffles. They had a few practices together till lunch, during which Minho was fooling around with his dongsaengs as usual. He even promised to meet up with Jisung again after their separated practices in the afternoon, to go for a walk and take some pictures before the seasons would change entirely. They split up after lunch and Minho went to the practice room with Hyunjin and Felix to work on some choreographies. It all was well and they had a lot of fun, at least in the beginning. The longer they continued dancing, the more run-down Minho felt. He usually had more stamina than that but wasn't all too surprised to be more out of breath as his nose was slowly closing up. "Hyung, do you want to go home?", Hyunjin offered. They had just struck the ending pose before Minho doubled over with his hands on his knees, panting. His lips were chapped already from only breathing through his mouth. The older shook his head, breathing: "I'b fide, just ndeed to catch mby breath." – "Come on, you sound so stuffed up and we've already been at it for hours. We'd go home in a bit more than an hour anyway, so let's just head back a bit early", Felix frowned, surprised when Minho gave in and nodded.
They took their time to drink some water and stretch before, packing their things and throwing on their hoodies. Felix also texted Jisung that he might need to postpone his plans with Minho for the evening. He also secretly shot a picture of the older and sent it to Jisung, who agreed that their hyung looked a little worse for wear and told the Aussie that 3racha had actually gone back to the dorm an hour ago. There was construction work in the part of the building where the studios were located and they found their dorm to have less background noise at the moment. Felix smiled at the thought of having their friends back already. Way too often did they stay at the studio till the early morning hours, so this was a pleasant change. The three dancers made their way back mostly silent, apart from Minho's frequent sniffles. The wind had picked up, making his nose run and eyes water. At this point, he wasn't so sure about not having caught a cold anymore. The fatigue a strong indicator, as dancing didn't usually take that much out of him. The longer they walked through the cold wind, the more aware Minho became of a few things. He felt weak and exhausted, shuddering from time to time as the wind penetrated the fabric of his hoodie. Sure, he had been dancing for a while but it wasn't enough to explain why he felt so sore. All he wanted now was a hot shower, maybe a cup of tea and to curl up in his bed. Yeah, he had probably caught a cold, he figured.
Minho sluggishly stumbled into the dorm, kicking off his shoes. His eyes fell on the trio sitting at the dining table with sheets of papers scattered around Chan's laptop. That was when he remembered, he had promised to take Jisung out as soon as they got home. A shiver ran down his spine and he rubbed his arms in an attempt to generate warmth, dreading the thought of having to go out again. Hyunjin had gone straight to his room to get changed while Felix sat down next to Chan, who looked at the quiet Minho and mused: "You were a lot more upbeat a few hours ago." – "That was whend I could still breathe through mby ndose", the dancer sniffled, giving a soft cough afterwards. Feeling to tired to stand, he sat down at the table too and was soon joined by Seungmin and Jeongin, who had gotten back mere minutes before the dance-line. "You sound rough", Jisung smiled sympathetically, as his hyung crossed his arms on the table and rested his head on top of them, whining: "I'b so condgested, I cad't evend swear properly 'bout how bad I feel." – "Oh, my gosh, what a tragedy!", Seungmin mocked, smiling innocently when his hyung lifted his head to glare at him through watery eyes. "I dond't appreciate that sarcasmb", Minho pouted, dropping his head onto his arms again with a pathetic sniffle. Jisung got up and rounded the table, resting a hand on the older's back and whispering: "Come on, you'll feel a lot better after taking a shower." Felix had been completely right earlier, there was no way the rapper would drag his friend outside in this condition.
