We need you home🌡️

Sickie: Seonghwa

Caregiver: mainly Hongjoong (+WooSan)

No one's POV.:

Hongjoong had been in his studio for most of the day already. He had left the dorm early in the morning with Mingi to work on some rap parts and hadn't seen the rest of the group yet as the others only had to get up about thirty minutes later. The members had different schedules that day, so it wouldn't be until later that night when he'd go home till he'd see them. Most of the day had passed in a blur, Mingi leaving the studio for a different schedule an hour later, the only thing standing out was his short lunchbreak. He had eaten lunch pretty late because he had been too absorbed in the song he was working on to notice his rumbling tummy. By the time he stepped out to get himself some food, the other members of Ateez had already taken their break and had returned to their individual schedules. That wasn't really out of the ordinary, so he wasn't particularly worried about them, especially since Seonghwa had a dance practice session with San and Wooyoung, so there'd be someone responsible keeping an eye on those two. If there was any major drama going on, someone would have called him by now and since his phone hadn't rang once, Hongjoong allowed himself to get just as focused as he had been before his lunchbreak.

For most of the members the day had been similar, pretty busy but going smoothly, the only one struggling was Seonghwa, who had woken up not feeling his best. It wasn't too bad though, so he just got ready to head to the dance room with his two dongsaengs. With his stomach feeling funny, he had decided to skip breakfast, figuring he just needed some more time to wake up for his body to be ready for food. San and Wooyoung were already wide awake as they entered the company building, bickering loudly, while Seonghwa dreaded the day ahead, being stuck with those two. The volume of their voices made his head hurt and he tried to drown them out as they started to stretch, which wasn't too difficult, the burning ache in his muscles doing a great job at distracting him. San and Wooyoung had fun, teasing each other as they stretched together, not really noticing anything off about their hyung, as Seonghwa was usually quiet.

When they started dancing though, the two couldn't stay oblivious anymore. Seonghwa was usually really soft towards his dongsaengs and never scolded them but today was different. Today he was a lot stricter than they knew him to be, often reminding them to get back to business and to take their practice session seriously. The truth was, his head had was pounding from the music blasting over the speakers and he just wanted to get their practice over with, which would be much quicker if San and Wooyoung would pull themselves together and act like the adults they physically were. Being constantly scolded, the boys' mood soon fell as they couldn't understand why their hyung was so irritable today. He wasn't usually like that but today he really was no fun.

They kept dancing and while the two younger members only struggled with their hyung's mood, Seonghwa struggled with something entirely different. Dancing on an empty stomach had never been the best idea because one would quickly run out of energy. Well, he couldn't really run out of it, not having had any energy to begin with, but after a few runs, the oldest was left dizzy. His muscles ached worse than they had earlier when stretching and with how weak he felt, Seonghwa was impressed he still managed to stay on his feet. He regretted not having had breakfast because he might not feel this fatigued if he had eaten a bite and even if it didn't make much difference in that regard, he could've at least taken a painkiller for his head if he had had anything in his stomach. Maybe he wouldn't even need a painkiller, if he hadn't been teamed up with the two most troublesome members but fate really seemed to hate him when scheduling a dance practice for him today. They took a short break to catch their breaths and to have some water, Seonghwa weakly sinking down next to his bag. He had no idea how he'd be able to get back up later but decided that was for his future-self to figure out.
