One Shots // Bae Rona x Joo Seokhoon ✨💫🌃

S3 The Support She Needs (23.3)

Holding her up and rubbing her shoulders from time to time. Seokhoon could feel her increasing body heat.

It was already so obvious that her fever had finally reached it's peak.

Resting her head on the male's chest. She lets out whimpers and little inaudible cries.

'Eomma.....

I want my eomma, where is she?'

Seokhoon didn't want to answer, in fact he didn't answer her. Instead, he gulped down the tears that pricked his eyes and composed himself.

From the corner of his eye, Seokhoon finally notices the presence of the doctors and nurses who were on stand by since probably a few seconds ago. Holding onto various equipments, the elder doctor nods at the male indicating that it was time to execute the task.

Seokhoon adjusted himself as he sat up on the hospital bed and held his girlfriend in his arms. Turning her head and burying her face on his chest. He tries hard to transfer all her attention to him.

Nodding at the medical staff, he gives a green light for a go and swiftly the nurse in charge sweeps in to insert the needle in the female.

Thankfully, Rona didn't scream or act up instead she whimpered and cried. Soaking Seokhoon's black polo with her tears.

Stroking her long brunette hair, Seokhoon sweetly leans down and pecks her hair whispering his sweet and hushed words of reassurance.

And slowly, the female goes limp. Her weight all leaning on her boyfriend's body indicating that the sedative had worked and she was slowly falling into a state of unconsciousness.

Patting her back gently, Seokhoon slowly lets her go and lays her in the bed. After tucking her in, the male turns around and turns all his attention to the medical staff.

'What do I have to do now? Does Rona need to be confined for a while?'

The elder doctor smiles and shakes his head.

'There is no need for a confinement. Seeing the patient's condition.... It is much better for her to stay at home and receive all the support from the people around her.

We will not use the IV anymore, I'm afraid she may yank it out again once she wakes up. For now, I will be prescribing a bunch of medication.

Make sure she takes it after every meal and also keep an eye on her.'

Pausing for a while, the doctor huffs a sigh and scrunches his face. Prompting Seokhoon to worry much more.

' Ms. Bae.... Seems to be at a stage where her mental health is not at all in a good state.

You understand what I mean.... do you? '

Seokhoon nods and thanks the elder doctor, turning around to look at his unconscious girlfriend.

Her hand had finally been wrapped up in a gauze bandage. Turns out, the nurses had immediately cleaned up the mess and tended to her injury as he busied himself and spoke to the doctor.

'Ms. Bae can be taken back home now . Just make sure she'll rest and remain in bed.

Also, she has to eat at least porridge once she wakes up. After that, she will have to take the medication Doctor Kim prescribed.'

Nodding and thanking the nurse, Seokhoon sighs with a worried expression plastered on his face. Leaning down to stroke the unconscious female's face, Seokhoon scans her face. Indeed it was so obvious to everyone that she had changed a lot over the few weeks since Yoonhee's tragic demise.

Her face had changed and turned dark as if every light from her had been drained and evaporated into thin air. She had locked herself in her room, refusing to talk or eat at all.

Seokhoon had continuously stayed in her apartment eversince the day they came home after the funeral. He had refused to leave her alone and made himself comfortable in the living room of her apartment.

They had both taken temporary breaks from CheongAh and had been catching up by attending through online classes and sending in requirements.

But as time passed and with the media's interference on their lives. Rona had slowly succumb into self seclusion and deep sadness which worried Seokhoon, Jenny, Mari, Minhyuk and even Suryeon.

Thankfully, Suryeon had came over today to help organize Yoonhee's things. Considering Rona wanted to help, Seokhoon found it as an opportunity to at least get her to eat.

But of course, inevitably they would end up here in the present. Rona ending up having an high fever and refusing to get the IV.

After safely transporting her back to Hera Palace. Seokhoon carries Rona effortlessly and rings the doorbell of her apartment.

'Seokhoon ah?!!'

Looking up, Seokhoon finds an startled and confused Jenny. She had also been helping Suryeon with organizing and had been tasked by Seokhoon to go in and scan Rona's room in case there was any objects that she would use to inflict harm on herself.

They had taken into account, Rona's current state and knew even if she was not like that.... Nothing is impossible at the moment, especially since she had just lost her one and only mother.

Nodding at Jenny, Seokhoon enters the apartment and gently lays the female on her bed. After successfully tucking her in. The male sits beside her and sweetly fixes the loose baby hair that fell down covering her face.

Taking the damp face towel from the bathroom, the male diligently folded it and wiped it on her face gently. Ending it by setting it on her forehead, Seokhoon's hand lingers on hers for a while until he grabs it and pecks it.

Standing up and glancing at her for the last time, Seokhoon turns the lamp off and closes the bedroom door behind him.

'What happened? Did the doctors say anything?'

Brushing his hands on his pants, Seokhoon nods and replies as Jenny taps her hands impatiently.

'She has a fever, the doctor didn't administer any IV anymore.... Rona ripped it off.

She has to eat at leats porridge tonight.

Can you stay with her for the meantime? I'm just gonna go out and buy the medication the doctors prescribed for her.'

Jenny nods and smiles.

' Sure, go ahead.... I'll get the abalone porridge my mom cooked.

Don't worry about her, I'll take good care of her so drive safe. '

Notes :

Finally managed to finish this multshot.....

Btw the hallucinations thing is real, I was confined in the hospital just this year for Dengue fever and when my fever got worse. My mom told me that I started crying and talking to myself.

I also witnessed this from my brothers. When they also had dengue fever. Dunno if anyone experienced it before tho..

Anyway, not completely satisfied with this one but oh well.

Hope y'all still like it regardless.

Happy Reading
