Sickie: Minho

Caregivers: Hyunjin and Felix

No one's POV.:

Minho groaned as he pushed himself off the floor. "Gosh, you okay?", Hyunjin gasped as he knelt next to the older. Though Minho nodded, his eyes seemed a little out of focus and the motion sent his head spinning. Seeing his hyung try to get up, Felix denied: "Take it easy for a moment." To keep Minho from getting up, the Aussie rested his hand on the other's shoulder, making him flinch. Felix' brows furrowed with worry because his touch had been light. "It's okay", Minho panted, squeezing his eyes shut, "It's okay, probably bruised my shoulder or something." – "What about your head?", Hyunjin inquired, brushing a few sweaty strands of hair out of his hyung's face, "Woah, you're burning, hyung." Sighing, Minho laid back on the floor and drew a shaky breath.

He had barely gotten any sleep the previous night. Coming down with a cold, Minho had had a hard time breathing through his nose, which made it incredibly difficult for him to fall asleep. He had probably already been running a fever, thinking back to how restless he had felt all night. The congestion in his sinuses had been messing with his balance all day and combined with the fever, he had been tripping himself frequently. Minho was honestly surprised that his fellow dance-liners had only noticed it now. He hadn't been himself at all today and since they were the only ones there, he would've expected to be called out for his clumsiness immediately.

"I'm kinda sick but no, I didn't hit my head", Minho breathed, keeping his eyes closed to avoid the ceiling light aggravating his headache, "Only fell on my shoulder and it feels pretty sore but I'm not sure there's much damage aside from a bruise." – Kinda sick means?", Hyunjin pressed, studying his hyung more closely while Felix got to his feet to collect the other's water bottle. Lifting his left hand to rub at his nose, Minho sniffled: "Wasn't much more than a runny nose and headache. I'm pretty stuffed up and it's messing with my balance a bit." – "Well, dancing most certainly didn't help", Felix sighed as he uncapped his hyung's water bottle, "Your fever seems to be pretty high now. Do you think you can sit up to have some water?" Minho nodded and sat up with a grimace. His shoulder really did hurt now.

Accepting the bottle from his dongsaeng, Minho downed a few sips and shuddered as goosebumps spread down his arms. Felix took the bottle and screwed on the lid before holding it to the other's forehead. It eased Minho's headache some but he was already starting to shiver. "How's your shoulder? I think we should get you back to the dorm to rest if your shoulder isn't too bad", Hyunjin asked softly, afraid they'd have to take the older to the hospital to get his injury looked at.

Considering his entire body ached already and his shoulder wasn't significantly worse, Minho didn't think his shoulder was seriously hurt, so they agreed to head back to their dorms. He had intended to take a hot shower to soothe the chills but was growing increasingly stiff and the task just sounded way too exhausting. Most movements of his right arm sent a sharp pain through his shoulder, so Minho slipped his right hand into the pocket of his hoodie to try and keep it as still as possible. Felix had linked his arm with Minho's left afraid the older would fall again with how badly his balance was lacking. He felt Minho stiffen next to him as his breath hitched. "You okay, hyung?", the Aussie asked worriedly, letting go of the other's arm. The older gave a quick nod before bringing his hand up to his face, catching two itchy sneezes. His eyes welled up with tears as his face contorted in pain. Running his wrist under his nose, Minho sniffled: "M-my shoulder really didn't like that."

Minho had gone straight to his room to rest, foregoing the shower he had so been looking forward to earlier that day. Most of the members still had schedule but Hyunjin and Felix had decided to stay with him. After checking Minho's shoulder for bruises, Felix helped the older try to get comfortable. There was no bruise to be seen yet but with how stiff he seemed, it had to hurt a lot. "Do you want me to get you an icepack?", Felix asked once they had sorted his hyung's pillows in a way that would support his shoulder just right. Tiredly relaxing into the soft material beneath him, Minho breathed: "I dunno. Feel cold enough already. Ugh, huh- ndo... I-I n-need to- need to s-snee-" Panicking, the dancer scrubbed at his nose. Minho tried to keep his breath from hitching, fearing the pain that would inevitably come with sneezing. He was stressing so bad, he barely felt the two small hands on his arm and shoulder. "It's okay, hyung. I got you", Felix hummed, bracing his friend's arm. The Aussie felt the muscles tense under his fingers as Minho stifled two forceful sneezes. Shakily releasing a breath, the older admitted: "That didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would. Thanks, Lix."
