Caregivers: Stray Kids

No one's POV.:

Most of the members had been excited when it was announced that they'd be shooting some fall seasonal content for Stay. They were supposed to complete some missions during the day before ending the day with a campfire and hot cider. It'd all be very aesthetic and although Jisung loved the concept, he wasn't looking forward to it at all. He already suffered from mild fall allergies and wasn't all that hyped about spending the entire day outside. Sure, he could take an antihistamine but that'd leave him feeling drowsy and out of it all day, which wasn't optimal when it came to completing missions. The members knew about his allergies but weren't too worried about them, their focus was on something else. Jisung had been rather quiet all week, his voice raspier than usual when he did speak. Despite the rapper insisting that he had strained his throat by singing too much without being mindful of his technique, Chan and Changbin weren't too sure about that. Their dongsaeng had also been rather sniffly during their last songwriting sessions and while that could easily be explained away by his allergies, the combination worried them.

Although their outfits were picked by their stylists, Chan made sure that Jisung would be wearing a scarf to protect his already irritated throat from the cold air as soon as they'd head out. He had also made the younger drink a cup of warm water with honey before they left the dorm that morning. Not looking forward to their shoot at all, Jisung shoved his hands into the pocket of his hoodie and trudged behind his friends. He was grateful to Chan and his stylist for giving him a scarf because he had woken up to his throat aching badly. Though he had been convinced he had only strained it, he was starting to consider that maybe, just maybe, he was starting to come down with a cold. The fact that he struggled to feel despite the number of layers he had put on seemed to confirm that suspicion. Since Jisung didn't want to ruin his friends' fun as they were all looking forward to it a lot, he didn't mention his condition to anyone.

Minho could tell that Jisung was uncomfortable and did his best to stay close to the rapper. He had brought tissues and cough drops, already expecting the younger to not have a good time. Jisung's eyes were watering already and he kept sniffling into his scarf. He was glad Minho stayed close to him without them having to say much. The dancer's presence was already enough to make him feel more at ease. Sadly, that wouldn't last too long because they had been put on different teams for their missions. Shooting him a comforting smile, Minho handed his dongsaeng a travel pack of tissues, which the younger slipped into the pocket of his hoodie. "It'll all be okay", the older whispered, "Just hang in there, yeah? You can take a hot shower and an antihistamine as soon as the shoot is over."

For a moment, Jisung considered telling Minho that he was pretty sure he was coming down with a cold but before he got the chance, the older was already gone. Before the rapper could panic though, somebody hugged him from behind and he relaxed into Felix embrace. Hyunjin joined them and the trio was given a camera. Their mission being to collect the prettiest fallen leaves they could find and to take pictures with said leaves. Jisung groaned, pulling his scarf up higher. He would most definitely be a sniffly, sneezy mess before they'd even get to reunite with the rest of the members. "So, where do you want to start?", Felix asked enthusiastically. Hyunjin tapped his lips before offering they could go to the park or just walk around the closer proximity of the set, while the staff was setting up the campfire for the evening. Felix gave Jisung a questioning look, expecting the rapper to decide between the two options. Shrugging, Jisung muttered that he didn't care, so they started to walk around not too far from the set. If they didn't find something, they could still go to the park.

Coughing into his scarf, Jisung trudged behind his friends, jealous that he couldn't enjoy himself as much as they did. Hyunjin and Felix had both already collected a bunch of leaves, taking pictures of trees and each other. "Come on, we need some pictures of you too", Hyunjin smiled, handing Jisung one of the leaves to pose with. Standing under a tree, the rapper held up the leaf and forced a smile. He prayed the older would hurry because his eyes were tearing up and he couldn't keep from blinking much longer. Taking the leaf back, Hyunjin hummed: "I think one or two good ones were in there, so you have something to show for later." Jisung nodded gratefully, turning away to catch two itchy sneezes in his scarf. Sniffling thickly, he used the backs of his hands to wipe his eyes. "Today's really not your day, is it?", Felix asked sympathetically, "Are you sure you don't want to take an antihistamine?" The rapper sighed and rasped: "Not my day at all. I- *sniff* I don't think an antihistamine will fix it 'cause I'm catching a cold." – "Well shit", Hyunjin frowned, "Why didn't you tell anyone? Maybe Chan could've gotten you out of having to participate. They can't make you spend all day outside if you're sick already." – "You really think anyone would've believed me? The staff knows that I wasn't looking forward to this, so they'd probably think I'm trying to get out of it", Jisung mumbled, shoving his trembling hands into his pockets.
