Jeonghan

"Jeonghan?"

Jeonghan looked up to meet Seungcheol, the leader had a weird expression on his face

"What is it tell me"

It was way past 2 am in the morning and Jeonghan wasn't able to sleep, feeling uncomfortable all over. He walked out of his shared bedroom with Joshua, went to the washroom where he washed his face with cold water and then to the living room where he found Seungcheol working on a pile of papers.

Jeonghan came in walking inside the living room and barely said anything to the leader and simply flopped on the couch. He looked exhausted and Seungcheol asked what was going on but he simply leaned back on the couch and held his head.

"Can't sleep?" Seungcheol asked "Is it a headache?" Seeing the way Jeonghan was holding his head.

"I don't know I feel funny" Jeonghan mumbled and just a few seconds later, Seungcheol was by his side. Jeonghan looked up to meet Seungcheol's worried eyes. The leader reached his hand to brush Jeonghan's cheeks "I think I have a fever"

The leader nodded "You do but ..." he stopped to scan Jeonghan's face, his fingertips still brushing against Jeonghan's cheeks "You have a rush there ... stomachache?" He asked and Jeonghan nodded

"I threw up twice since this afternoon"

"Did you have any soybeans? You know you're allergic"

Jeonghan stopped for a bit to think and shook his head "I don't remember ... I don't think so"

Seungcheol sighed trying to figure out what to do "Let's go" he stood up grabbing his jacket "Let's go to the clinic get you an allergy shot ... just in case"

"I don't feel like going anywhere Cheol" Jeonghan closed his eyes for a bit "My head hurts and I feel like I might throw up again"

"I know love" he walked back to Jeonghan kneeled down to meet his eyes and smiled "It will be quick I promise, if you are allergic then you need the shot and if not then you probably had something bad and it's just a stomachache"

Jeonghan slowly nodded and the leader helped him put his winter coat on and his shoes. Seungcheol secured him well before they both exited the house, Jeonghan shivered the second he stepped outside.
"It's so cold"

"You have a fever that's why baby you'll be fine"

Jeonghan pouted tightening his grip around Seungcheol. They got in the car and Seungcheol drove as fast as he could, glancing over at Jeonghan every now and then. The boy's cheeks were definitely getting more flushed than earlier and he was obviously holding back on vomiting.

"Cheol please drive slowly I'm dizzy"

"Sorry princess but I need to get you to the clinic as soon as possible okay? You'll be fine"

Jeonghan swallowed hard and nodded, his knuckles turning white as he held onto his jacket

"Hannie?" He head Seungcheol call but couldn't look at him, he was too dizzy to keep his eyes open for a long time "How's your breathing? Does your chest hurt?"

Jeonghan tried to take a deep breath "Yeah" he whispered "It hurts Cheol it really does"

He felt the leader hold his hand and squeezed it tightly "We are almost there okay? You'll be just fine"

Seungcheol drove even faster, he was sure that Jeonghan was having an allergic reaction seeing the way his symptoms were progressing.

They got to the clinic and Seungcheol hurried to take Jeonghan inside. He was okay first a while waiting for the doctor until he couldn't anymore and started violently throwing up. The doctors run to his side a few seconds after and rushed him to the examination room

"Allergic reaction" the doctor said calmly looking at a very nervous Seungcheol "He's doing much better now but since he's been going without a treatment for over five hours, we need to keep an eye on him tonight"

Seungcheol nodded and heaved out a relieved sigh when he eventually got to see Jeonghan. He was laying on the hospital bed with an IV stuck to his arm smiling at him the second he saw him.

"Hi" he greeted

"I called for you" Jeonghan pouted "Where have you been really?"

Seungcheol chuckled "Sorry princess I wasn't allowed to come inside until you were done ... how are you feeling?" Seungcheol found himself stroking Jeonghan's hair gently

"I'm better, my chest doesn't hurt anymore and I don't feel dizzy anymore but ... this hurt like a B word" Jeonghan pointed at the needle stuck in his forearm
"Sorry to hear that love, let me see?" Seungcheol held Jeonghan's arm patting it lovingly "You'll be just fine baby, just for a few more hours that's all"

Jeonghan kept staring at him with his shiny tired eyes and Seungcheol scoffed, reached his hand to stroke Jeonghan's flushed cheeks "Your fever is better and the rash is almost gone"

Jeonghan didn't say anything but blinked weakly "I know you're tired, maybe get some sleep? Let me call the others okay?"

Jeonghan nodded but tightened his grip around Seungcheol's hand "You can call them from here" he enjoyed the closeness, Seungcheol was so patient with him and his princess like attitude that seemed to only show up voluntarily when the leader was around

"Sure love I can call them for here"

"Don't call me love" Jeonghan sniffed pouting and looking away

"Okay Baby"

"Don't call me baby either"

Seungcheol sighed and nodded "Okay princess"

Jeonghan didn't say anything and Seungcheol smiled to himself, Jeonghan looked precious and didn't say anything about calling him princess so maybe he liked it?

He shook his head lightly grabbing his phone with one hand while the other rested comfortably intertwined with Jeonghan's and he dialed Joshua.
