  "okay, everyone! you're all doing good. let's do this one more time." hongjoong announced before replaying the song for their next comeback. everyone quickly got into their spots and began dancing when the song started.
  they had been practicing for about 12 consecutive hours with no breaks. all 8 of them were exhausted and drenched in sweat, but they still kept working anyway.

  wooyoung had been worried about yunho for about an hour now because he saw him sprain his ankle from dancing too hard, but he told wooyoung he was fine and kept practicing. this made wooyoung worried and also a little upset.
  after the song ended, hongjoong announced that they were done practicing for the day and to wake up early tomorrow morning so that they could practice again, so everyone started leaving the room.

  wooyoung sat down on the floor with his back against the wall and yunho sat next to him. they watched everyone else leave.
  yeosang looked back at wooyoung while he was leaving. "you coming, woo?"
  "no. go without me. i'll come later." wooyoung responded.
  "alright, see you later then."
  jongho grabbed yeosang's hand and they walked out of the room together.

  the room was now empty and very quiet despite it being loud and full of energy just a few seconds ago.
  "i'm going to keep practicing. you don't need to wait for me." yunho said to wooyoung while getting up off of the floor. wooyoung stopped him.
  "no, you need to rest. go back to your room."
  "i'll be fine."
  "no, you won't. you sprained your ankle."
 
  yunho ignored wooyoung and limped away from him. he was about to start playing the song so he could practice again, but wooyoung grabbed his hand, and dragged him out of the practice room.
  "if you won't rest, i'll just have to force you to rest."
  wooyoung took him back to his room. he picked him up and struggled to put him in his bed because of how heavy he was.

  san, who was yunho's roommate, witnessed the whole thing. "what happened, woo?"
  "nothing happened to me, he's just being dramatic!" yunho said.
  "he sprained his ankle." wooyoung said.

  "i'll be right back. i'm going to go get ice." san jumped off of his bed and ran out of the room. he came back a few seconds later with an ice pack.
   "i could've gotten it myself, but thanks anyway." wooyoung told san while san was handing him the ice pack.
   "be grateful that i helped you." san said to him in a firm, slightly threatening tone.
   "try me. i dare you." wooyoung hissed at him after snatching the ice pack out of his hand.

   "um, hello? did you forget that there is an injured person in the room who needs an ice pack?" yunho reminded them, breaking the tension.
   wooyoung turned to him and put his hands on his hips. "i thought you said you weren't hurt." he responded, smirking mischeviously at him.

   "my ankle may be sprained, but it doesn't hurt. so therefore, i'm not hurt." yunho said, smiling at wooyoung. wooyoung didn't take him seriously though, he just laughed at him.
  "also, i am perfectly capable of taking care of myself." yunho said before taking the ice pack from wooyoung and putting it on his sprained ankle.
  "i don't care. i'm staying by your side until you get better." wooyoung said before sitting down on the bed next to him.

  later on that night, wooyoung cooked for yunho so that he wouldn't have to get out of bed to go get food himself.
  "i cooked you some food."
  "thanks, woo!"
  wooyoung cooked for himself too, so they ate together.

  for the next few days, wooyoung was almost always with yunho. they talked to each other more than usual and one of them was always making the other one laugh. wooyoung cooked for yunho a lot too.
  after yunho recovered from his injury, he went right back to practicing with the other members like nothing ever happened. when practice was over, he went to go talk to wooyoung.

  "hey, woo?"
  "yes?"
  "i just wanted to say thank you for taking care of me while i was injured. i didn't really need it, but i'm still very grateful for it anyway and i wanted to give you something in return."
  "awww, really? you don't have to-"
  before wooyoung could finish his sentence, yunho leaned forward and gave him a small peck on the cheek.

  "..are you trying to go out with me or are you really that grateful?"
  "don't act like an idiot, woo. it's so obvious."
  there was an awkward silence, then they both giggled. the giggling quickly turned into both of them bursting into a fit of laughter.

this was really short, i apologize (• ▽ •;)
