Like a fever, fever, fever, fever 

Enhypen -  Fever

-----------------------------------------------------------

Despite working an overnight shift, Chaerin continued moving around her house, attending to the children. Left to right, she helped them with every problem they had. Finally, all her tiredness caught up to her.

As she set up the dinner table, Chaerin saw the world spinning. All the surroundings became wavy, and Chaerin held the table for support. "Nara!" She shouted as her legs gave out. Immediately, Nara came with markers on her face.

"Unnie!" Nara helped Chaerin get up and sat her in the chair. She searched the cabinets for medicine while Heeseung came into the kitchen. "Eomma? Why are you sleeping on the table?" Chaerin woke up and saw Heeseung.

"Sweetie, can you help Eomma get to her room?" Heeseung nodded, and Chaerin got up. He held his arm out for Chaerin and walked to the stairs. "Where are the others, Heeseungie?" Chaerin weakly asked as she dove into her bed.

Heeseung sat on the edge of the bed while swinging his legs back and forth. "Jongseongie, Jakey, and Sunghoonie are sleeping. They are sad."

Heeseung stated as he looked over Chaerin whose asleep. Heeseung went near Chaerin and hugged her. "Thank you, Eomma. I now have siblings! I will be the best Hyung to all of my siblings!" He stated as he hugged Chaerin one last time.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Hello? Minho-oppa!" Nara called him while watching Heeseung playing on the sofa. A rustle of objects can be heard from the background of Minho. "Oh, Nara? What did you call me for?" "I just want to tell you that Chaerin-unnie can't go to work today. She got sick after taking an overnight shift for days." Nara said as Minho sighed.

"Okay, the work doesn't seem hectic that much. How is Heeseung, by the way?" Minho asked while attending to a customer. "He's fine. Oh, Unnie found more kids."

"WHAT?" Minho shouted as the customer glared at him. He quickly apologized and handed her the bouquet. Going to his office, Minho gathered his stuff and closed the shop.

"Apparently, Chaerin found them in the streets. They are so cute. Like Jongseong is the eldest of the three, and he looks cute trying to be mature. Jake is such an angel. He can't speak Korean, so we can't understand him that much. Sunghoon is a quiet kid. He often looks lost as he kept looking for Chaerin." Minho listened as he rode his car. He smiled as he listened to Nara ramble and ramble without a carefree attitude.

Parking his car, Minho went to Chaerin's house. He rang the doorbell, and Nara opened the door. "Oppa!" Minho hesitantly went in and saw Heeseung. "Uncle Minho!" Heeseung hugged Minho on his knees. Minho laughed and scooped Heeseung in his arms.

"How's Heeseungie?" Heeseung laughed as he was spun in the air. "I'm a hyung now!" Minho got tired and let Heeseung down. "Can I meet them?" He asked as he sat down on the sofa with Nara beside him. Heeseung nodded as he ran upstairs.

He opened the door and saw the triplets sleeping. Quietly, he tiptoed to the bed and shook them one by one. "Wake up. Uncle Minho is here." "Who?" Jongseong asked as he helped Heeseung hyung wake his other siblings. Sunghoon woke up and held his arms out, making Heeseung carry him. "Hyung, what is happening?" Jake asked as he could understand little of their conversations. "Someone wants to meet us," Jongseong replied in basic English.

They went downstairs, and the triplets hid behind Heeseung. "Uncle is very nice. He won't hurt you." Soon, they looked at Minho whose opened his arms out. Jake immediately ran to hug him while Jongseong and Sunghoon shyly walked to Minho.

"Wow, all of you are cute. How come Chaerin gets all of the cute kids?" Minho asked as he squished Jake's cheeks. Jake cried as he felt scared at the man in front of him. Jongseong and Sunghoon pulled Jake away from the man and glared at Minho.

"Feisty kids. Anyways, who wants to go to the pharmacy shop with me? I swear, Chaerin never takes care of her health." Minho laughed as he saw them holding out their hands. One of them did not raise their hands. "Why don't you want to go, Jongseong?" Minho asked as he saw the kid gesture to him. He kneeled down at Jongseong's eye level.

"I don't want Noona to get lonely," Jongseong said as he fidgeted in his place. Truthfully, he doesn't want his siblings to be alone with this man. However, he saw Heeseung-hyung trust him. "We'll bring back snacks!" Minho yelled over as Nara followed him. The kids waved goodbye to Jongseong as they left the house.

"I'm alone," Jongseong stated as he looked around the house. The house was a mess. It no longer had the sparkle and cleanliness last night. Jongseong felt guilty and rummaged the storage room for a broom. He found the broom in the shallow area. He swept and swept the living room. The living room became somewhat clean as Jongseong nodded in satisfaction. "Noona doesn't have a vacuum?" Jongseong grumbled as he used the broom to sweep the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Chaerin slept soundly on the second floor with blankets and pillows around her. She has no idea of the excitement and headaches she will receive.
