Stay Strong Seventeen

Boo Seongkwan

He was overall just stressed out, his vocal cords were extremely sore, he could feel his throat burning on the inside, the doctor told him to keep quiet for now, not to hit any high notes or even talk for a while and he hated it.

For someone like Seungkwan, a main vocalist, sensitive, energetic and talkative, loosing his voice was a nightmare.

Usually, he would be fooling around and gossiping about random things right now making everybody laugh but, since early this morning, his entire mood has completely changed.

When S.coups woke him up, the younger's voice sounded like paper sand, cracked and shaky, his eyes barely open and cheeks flushed a little. The leader asked their manager to take him to the doctor immediately.

Luckily today, Seventeen didn't have anything planned so when Seungkwan came back from the doctor's office it was to a busy dorm. Everyone was walking around doing some chores or busy with their own things.

Seungkwan came back walking with heavy steps toward the living room. Upon seeing him, Vernon yelled
"Seungkwan is back"
Announcing to everyone and Seungkwan closed his ears in the process

"Ah ... Vernon really?"

Seungkwan whispered, he was having a terrible headache since that morning and especially after spending the last couple of hours with the doctor, who didn't stop messing through his throat, it just got worse.

Seungkwan was really exhausted, he flopped on the living room's couch with a thud wanting nothing but lay down there for a while. Jeonghan came into the living room only few seconds later to check on him

"So, how did it go? what did the doctor say?"

Jeonghan asked smiling, hoping for nothing but a minor inflammation but it soon faded away as he heard Seungkwan's voice

"He told me to stay quiet"

Jeonghan frawned  "I can see why, your voice is practically gone"

Seungkwan sighed "It sucks"

"Okay, just keep quiet for now and rest"

Vernon who was still walking around in the living room smirked

"Yes Seungkwan just shut up for a while "

Stressing on the words knowing just how much Seungkwan like to talk.

Seungkwan lifted his head up a little toward the younger

"You're so dead Vernon"

Jeonghan tilted his head to the side laughing at their bickering

"Okay you two that's enough, Seungcheol will be with you in a sec he's in the shower"

but Seungkwan couldn't wait until his leader was done, he curled himself on the sofa and fell asleep within minutées right after Jeonghan left. His muscles ached all over and he couldn't move much, his head pounding and throat on fire.

No body dared to wake him up knowing how hard the situation was for Seungkwan.
They didn't pay much attention though to the fact that sore throats usually came with body aches and fever.

Since, Seungkwan fell asleep about 30 minutes ago on the couch, nobody approached him, not that they didn't care, but because they thought that he needed rest.
While passing by, Jun threw a blanket on Seungkwan but didn't came close enough to see him slightly shaking, or check the way  his sweaty face snuggled against the pillow and his reddish cheeks gaining more color, not until S.coups came around a while later.

He walked toward the living room, he came to see him earlier right after his shower but found him asleep and didn't want to bother him. But it's been a while that the younger have been sleeping like this and Scoups thought he would be more comfortable in his own bed.

He sat on the couch next to him and slowly shook him up "Seungkwan-ah wake up you need to eat and take your meds our manager just texted me" ...
"Also go to bed, the couch is not really that comfortable"

Seungkwan stirred a little and opened his eyes and lifted his head a little listening to what Scoups was saying

"Hyung?"

He called, his voice barely above a whisper gaining the leader's attention

"Gosh your voice is really gone huh? What is it?"

Coups looked worried as he took a second look at Seungkwan's face, his cheeks red and eyes so dull

"I don't feel good"

Seungkwan answered about to lay back down and go back to sleep but Seungcheol helped him to sit up instead now cupping his cheeks and feeling the heat radiating from his body

"Kwan you're burning up"

Seungcheol held Seungkwan by his shoulders, the boy seemed powerless, he couldn't stay up straight on his own continuously leaning forward making S.coups extremely worried.

"Okay, wait let's get you to bed first, don't worry you'll be fine"

Seungcheol reassured as he helped Seungkwan to his feet and slowly walked him to his shared room with DK, Woozi and Joshua. When he came inside holding an almost unconscious Seungkwan, everyone came by to help.

"What happened?" They all asked

"He's sick ... obviously" Seungcheol answered guiding Seungkwan to his bed where he laid him down immediately. Woozi approached the sick boy and touched his forehead "I thought you said that he had a sore throat" Woozi was a bit confused

"Yeah but sore throats come with fever and headaches too" DK replied

"Okay can someone just bring me a wet towel and ... he didn't eat anything he needs to eat and take his medications"

"I'll go get Jeonghan and cook something" Joshua said as he stood up toward the door and DK went looking for a clean face towel

About an hour later, Seungkwan was in deep sleep, a wet towel placed on top of his head, he had already eaten whatever that Jeonghan and Joshua made for him and gulped down his pills.
It has been an hour already and Seungkwan's fever was getting a bit better. Seungcheol sighed as he felt the boy's forehead again

"He must have been really exhausted" Jeonghan said and the leader acknowledged nodding

"He's getting better though don't worry"

"Yeah"
