No one's POV.:

It had only been a matter of time till Taeyang and Keeho would fall ill. The two had been fatigued for a little over a week but figured the shorter days and lack of sun exposure were getting to them. Only when Taeyang woke up with a pounding headache one morning did he consider to take his temperature. The eldest didn't even bother to go through his morning routine but made sure the other members were up and getting ready for the day. Approaching Keeho, Taeyang admitted: "I just called our manager to let him know I won't be able to join you guys for practice today. My head's killing me and I have a fever. Guess I finally know why I've felt so off lately." – "Well, shit", Keeho sighed sympathetically, his voice still thick with sleep, "Do you need anything before we leave? Is there enough medicine or should we go pick something up on our way back?" – "I think we're stocked up on medicine but I'll check before you leave. There's one thing I need you to do though", Taeyang muttered, "I need you to go and take your temperature too because you've been just as rundown as me lately and you look like shit."

While Keeho went to take his temperature, Taeyang sat in the living room and let Jiung know what was going on too. Their fellow '01-liner made sure their dongsaengs had all eaten breakfast and brought the eldest a cup of tea. Both looked up at Keeho expectantly when he joined them, chewing on his bottom lip. "I don't even feel that bad", the leader frowned, still shocked by the high reading on the thermometer. Patting the spot next to him on the couch, Taeyang sighed: "Please tell me you're going to stay home with me today. With the way your eyes look, you don't even have to tell me the reading. I can tell it's high." – "I don't know", Keeho mumbled, "I don't feel as bad as it looks and it doesn't seem right to leave the youngsters to work by themselves." – "I got them", Jiung cut in, "Think of yourself first. Your health should be your priority. The rest of us will do just fine. Our schedule is pretty well structured, so it shouldn't be too difficult."

After some consideration, Keeho agreed to take a sick day too but before he'd call their manager, he wanted to check on the other members as well. If there was more than one sick member already, it was most likely something contagious, so better assess how many of them would need to be called in sick first. Luckily, it seemed to only be the two of them for the time being, so Jiung proposed they should switch rooms for a while. If Taeyang and Keeho shared one of the rooms and the other four shared the other room, they wouldn't interfere with each other's sleep too much. Since they barely had any time left, they just quickly moved their beddings and most essential items, so the two maknaes would stay with Jiung and Intak, while Keeho would stay in Taeyang's room. The vocalist's idea was genius because it only took two hours after the group left for Keeho to develop a cough and he was glad that Taeyang had made him stay home. His throat itched, no matter how much water he sipped and he soon found himself curled up on the couch. Taeyang had gone right back to sleep once the others left and he didn't want to wake the older with his coughing.

Keeho placed a bottle of water on Taeyang's nightstand and draped a cold washcloth over his forehead before leaving to collect a change of clothes from his room. His muscles ached and he felt painfully cold, so he figured a hot shower would soothe the discomfort while the steam might help with his cough. He didn't have anything else to do anyway, so why not enjoy a long shower when he didn't have to rush for once. Nobody was waiting for their turn showering, so he could enjoy the hot water for as long as he wanted. Keeho relaxed as the water washed over him, the warmth relaxing his tense shoulders. It was only now that he noticed he too in fact had a headache though it had to be a lot worse for Taeyang. The steam did help clear the congestion some and the urge to cough wasn't as strong anymore, despite his throat still being quite irritated.
