Sickie: Minho
Caregiver: Jeongin
No one's POV.:
Minho woke up feeling weird. He didn't know what exactly it was but something didn't feel right. Turning off his alarm, the dancer threw off the covers and took a deep breath to ground himself. Something was out of place, really out of place. His skin was flushed, sweat beading on his forehead. Massaging his temples, Minho stood up and stumbled for a moment before making his way to the bathroom to get ready. Luckily his schedule consisted of only vocal lessons and a recording session. Well, he also had a workout session with a personal trainer planned for later that evening but figured he could cancel that if he still felt funny by then. As Minho glanced into the mirror, he wasn't as confused anymore. Unsurprisingly, he was rather pale, only a light pinkish flush high on his cheek bones. A few strands of hair clung to his forehead, which he pushed back with a headband before washing his face. It felt nice to rinse the sweat off, the cool water bringing back his focus but even though he was a bit livelier afterwards, the dancer could tell he was most likely coming down with something.
Not having much of an appetite, he figured he could skip breakfast as he didn't have to dance today, so he made sure his dongsaengs were up and getting ready, telling them to eat breakfast. Minho only grabbed a bottle of water and sipped it slowly as he got dressed for the day ahead. Since it would only be them, he decided that sweatpants and a t-shirt would do. He could put a sweater into his backpack in case he felt cold later but for now he was running hot anyway. Feeling a bit sleepy still, he dozed off on the drive to the company building but was wide awake when Felix put a hand on his shoulder, squeezing it gently. He should really pull himself together. Hyunjin could tell something was up with his hyung as the older didn't react to his teasing at all and he soon stopped teasing him because it was kind of boring if he couldn't get a reaction and he didn't want to push it when the other wasn't in the mood for it.
Minho was lucky. He'd have his vocal lesson first, followed by a rather long break before recording his lines. Maybe he could convince Chan to let him nap on their studio couch for a while before he'd have to record. It might help the headache that's been steadily increasing since he had gotten up. He just had to get his vocal lesson over with first, which shouldn't be too difficult. The teacher knew he had to record later on, so he wouldn't push him too much and risk the boy losing his voice. Minho bid his friends goodbye and headed to his individual lesson.
As he had predicted, he didn't have to push his limits today and only went over lines that he was already more than familiar with, improving his technique. Minho couldn't wait for it to be over though. He was fatigued and the music made his headache worse but it was still better than dance practice. Jisung waved at him wordlessly, as the dancer slipped into the 3racha studio after his lesson. Only 3racha and Jeongin were present, the maknae currently recording his lines. The other members had vocal lessons too but would come to the studio to take their turn recording. Placing his bag down next to the door, Minho laid down on the couch, his legs dangling over the arm rest as he allowed himself to close his eyes for a moment. It felt nice, the smooth leather cool against his flushed skin.
"Hey, are you feeling okay?", Chan asked worriedly, brushing his hand against Minho's arm, prompting the younger to open his eyes. Propping himself up on his elbows, the dancer yawned: "I'm okay, just pretty tired today. I have a bit of a headache, so I didn't find the energy to use my break for dancing." - "That's alright", Chan smiled, "Jeongin just finished recording and Hyunjin should be here in a minute to record his lines. You're not due to record until later, so if you want to take a nap and aren't bothered by the noise, you can stay here." - "Hyung, I thought about going out for coffee. Do you want to come along?", Jeongin asked, hopeful he wouldn't have to go alone. Watching Minho rub his eyes, he added: "If not, I could get you some coffee too." - "Nah, it's alright", the dancer hummed, "Maybe walking around a little will help me wake up more. Let's go."
