🐺 Felix - Airlifted

~Felix's POV~

I have been ill for a few days now. My head was hurting constantly, my joints were aching, and I wasn't feeling well at all in general. I told the managers about it, but they basically replied, that I should suck it up, I'm a grown man, I shouldn't be whining like a little kid.

That hurt, but fair enough – my job is to appear on camera, smile, dance, and be perfect. There wasn't any time for sickness.

Today we were filming a video, kind of like a survival show. We were brought to a huge forest and field, where we had to be separated and complete some tasks. A cameraman was assigned to each one of us, of course, and we were given a camera too. The others found it so much fun, they were already planning their jokes, but I just sat in the back of the van, and stared out of the window: the forest was beautiful, yet I couldn't appreciate it today. My headache was so much worse, because we were told not to drink too much, since there wasn't going to be a bathroom nearby. Every 20 seconds or so, a stabbing pain went through my head, which made me nauseous as well. I knew I couldn't tolerate this much longer.

When we arrived, the managers assigned us our tasks, and then they brought us to our sections of the forest. Each of us had a huge section to ourselves, we were pretty far from each other.  I usually liked being around my members, but today I preferred being alone – I didn't want to ruin their fun.

- Yongbok, shall we start? – the cameraman's voice brought me back to reality. We were standing next to a small path, and he already set up his camera on a tripod. – I was thinking maybe we could do a few shots of you walking, gathering sticks, and maybe even climbing a tree.

- Uh, sure. – And there was the stabbing pain again. I quickly turned away to hide my pained expression, and it took a few seconds for the pain to go away.

- Are you okay? Do you need something?

- Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit tired. – I knew I was a good liar, I hoped he believed me.

- Great, so let's start. Go to that tree over there, and walk down this path. Don't look at me or the camera, and look serious and puzzled.

I made my way to that tree, turned around and walked towards the man and his camera. I tried walking normally, but my legs felt like jelly.

- No, stop. Stop walking like you're drunk. Let's do some serious shots, and then you can be funny, okay?

I nodded, and went back. I had to hold onto a tree, because I felt my knees giving up on me. I took a few deep breaths, and walked down the path again.

- Much better. We're already kind of behind schedule though, so let's get you climbing that tree, okay? All the members have to do this, they want to make a funny montage out of it, I guess?

I nodded again, although I didn't think climbing a tree in this condition was such a great idea.

- You're sure you're okay, Yongbok? You look very pale... and you're shaking. Are you afraid of heights? It's going to be fine, I'll catch you. It will be...

His voice trailed off, as my surroundings started to spin again. I suddenly felt very weak and shaky, so I grabbed the closest thing next to me, which was his shoulder. I grabbed my knee with my other hand, and gathered all my strength in order to stay conscious.

- Oh no, don't be so scared! You don't have to climb that high then. I'll help you too. Please don't stress yourself so hard over this. – The cameraman tried his best, which comforted me a bit.

- Okay, okay, let's get this over with. – I muttered, and grabbed a low branch with my hand. I tried my best not to look down at the ground, and only concentrate at the next branch. Soon enough, I was around 4 meters high (13 feet) high when I found a bigger branch. I decided to sit down, and close my eyes for a second. They felt like they were burning. My forehead felt like it was burning too.
