Sickie/Little: Hyunjin

Caregiver: Jeongin

No one's POV.:
"I really don't think you want to go in there, hyung", Seungmin stated, when Minho passed him on his way to their shared room. The two were roommates with Hyunjin, who had come down with a bad cold and had been moody ever since. "Too bad that I need to get my practice clothes", the older sighed. He and Felix wanted to go to the practice room and dance a bit. Without their third dance-liner obviously. Giving the pair in the hallway a confused look, Chan frowned: "Why are the two of you so scared of entering your room? Worried you'll catch Hyunjin's cold?" – "Nah, he's just been a bitch lately and I don't feel like putting up with his attitude", Seungmin brushed off, making his way to the living room. "Well, I need to get my stuff, so...", Minho shrugged. He quietly opened the door, hoping his dongsaeng would be asleep, so he wouldn't have to talk to him. Hyunjin however wasn't asleep and he had heard his members talking in front of the door. He couldn't help the way his heart ached when he heard his friends were trying to avoid him at all costs.

As Minho wordlessly made his way over to his closet, the younger sat up and paused the game he was playing on his phone. "Hey, what's up?", he rasped, desperate to start a conversation after feeling isolated in his room. Minho shrugged, throwing a few clothes into his bag before humming: "Nothing much, just going to dance a bit with Felix." – "Without me?", Hyunjin frowned, it wasn't like he could go with them anyway but all three of them were part of the dance-racha. "Well, do you wanna come?", the older asked sarcastically. Pulling his blanket over his head, Hyunjin huffed: "You know very well that I can't." – "Exactly, that's why I don't get your point", Minho said, rolling his eyes. "I can't believe you'd do that while I'm sick", the younger whined, feeling betrayed. Pinching the bridge of his nose, his hyung sighed: "Well, what do you expect me to do? Sit around and do nothing?" – "Just go and have a good time with everybody... Since I'm sick", Hyunjin pouted, still hiding under his blanket. Minho shook his head. There was no point in arguing with his dongsaeng because the younger wasn't being reasonable at the moment. He finished packing and left the room without another word to his friend. Hearing the door click, Hyunjin threw off the blanket and sat up. He looked around the room, only to notice that he was alone again.

"How did it go?", Seungmin chuckled from where he sat on the couch. Minho simply glared at him, dragging Felix away from his video game to go practice together. Jeongin shot them a confused look, frowning: "What's going on?" – "Hyunjin's being a pain in the ass, so we're trying to not go to our room but Minho had no other choice", Seungmin laughed. Putting on his shoes, Minho added: "Yeah, and he acted like I betrayed him by practicing without him. It's not like all of us could stop what we're doing and wait till he's better to join us." – "Aw, come on. It can't be that bad", Jeongin giggled. He couldn't imagine his hyung being that dramatic. Seungmin just raised an eyebrow at the maknae, while Minho decided his dongsaeng should find out for himself and left the dorm with Felix. "If you want to, why don't you go and check on Hyunjin? I mean, you're the youngest, maybe he'll be nicer when talking to you", the vocalist offered. Jeongin got up from the couch and agreed: "He's probably just lonely, since he's been stuck in your room all the time."

Making his way to his hyung's room, Jeongin knocked softly. "Come in", came the hoarse reply. Poking his head in, the maknae found Hyunjin sulking on his bed. Walking over, he sat down at the foot of the dancer's bed and smiled: "Hey hyung, thought I'd check on you, since I haven't seen you in a while. Have you been hiding in here the entire time?" – "Well, it's not like anyone would like to see me anyway", the older replied coldly. "Now that's not true. I like to see you", Jeongin argued, watching his hyung huff and cross his arms childishly, "The others are only annoyed because you're kinda moody towards them." – "Noo, they're just big fat meanies doing fun stuff without me", the dancer complained, Jeongin had been Hyunjin's caregiver for a while already and although the older wasn't fully regressed yet, he could tell he was on the verge of it, so he warned: "Drop that attitude, mister. No wonder the others don't want to put up with you." Looking at the maknae in horror, Hyunjin couldn't help but break into tears. He clutched his plushie to his chest and sobbed: "Buh Jinnie lonely." – "Come here, prince", Jeongin sighed, opening his arms for the little, "I know it sucks but it's none of our faults that you got yourself sick, so you can't go around and vent your frustration at anyone who gets too close." The dancer nodded, crawling into his caregiver's lap as he continued to cry. Jeongin calmly rocked him in his lap, using one hand to brush Hyunjin's hair back. Furrowing his brows, he rested his palm against the little's forehead and frowned: "Sweetheart, I think you're running a fever. That might explain why you're so grumpy." – "Jinnie feel icky", the dancer sniffled, moving away from the maknae's hand to hide his face against the other's neck.
