Stay Strong Seventeen

Jun ... Junhao 🤍

It was a cold afternoon,
Jun, Minghao, Jeonghan, Joshua and Wonwoo were lazily laying around in a very cozy looking living room. It's been raining and thunderous outside since that morning and they got separated from the others.

They were heading to an interview when they were informed that it got cancelled due to the bad weather. Their van was supposed to follow the other two back to their buildings but the road was blocked soon afterwards and they got stuck behind. So they just rented a hotel suite for the night together.

Jun coughed again, shivered and hid under the blanket ... Jeonghan looked up from where he was sitting on the armchair watching something on his phone "Still have that cough Jun?"

The other hummed "It's still cold in here" he said, but it wasn't cold in here, they adjusted the heater twice already and everyone was wearing comfy pajamas and feeling warm.

"It's not cold Jun, are you feeling okay though?" Jeonghan asked a bit worriedly, Jun was fidgeting uncomfortably since they got here and his cough was becoming more apparent.

Jun didn't reply
It was like he was taking a minute to listen to his own body ... was he feeling okay?

Minghao was silently watching the entire scene and finally moved from where he was occupying that small space near Wonwoo playing something on their phones and sat near Jun

« If you're not feeling well, you can just tell us » Minghao spoke in Mandarin and saw Jun's face soften

« I think I'm coming down with a cold ... I was planning to go home and stay away from you guys for a while, I don't want you to catch it as well »

« Before worrying about us catching it, you should worry about surviving it first »

Jun scoffed "Hannie ~ Minghao is being mean to me"

"Oh gosh"
Minghao rolled his eyes and stood up. Jeonghan said something about not having any shenanigans tonight and scolded Hao for a second but the younger was unbothered and went back to playing games with Wonwoo.

The night was a bit long and tedious, everyone was cozy either watching TV or on their phones and Jun only kept sinking further into his mattress suddenly getting too quiet.

"Feeling any better Jun?" Wonwoo asked softly, the boy sitting on the corner of his bed curled up like a kitten. He heard Jun move a little under the blankets but didn't say anything for a second

"You can't sleep too?" Jun asked and Wonwoo could sense his strained tired voice

"Yeah ... I'm not all that comfortable" Wonwoo admitted putting his phone down

"Why?"

"I'd rather be home in my bed right now, I just miss it"

"Nah you just miss Mingyu"

Wonwoo chuckled "Yeah that too" ... "How are you feeling though?"

"My head hurts and it seems like it's going to be a long night"

"Sorry to hear that" Wonwoo got closer to check on him, "Your fever is high" Jun just blinked

"Don't come any closer, I don't want you to get sick too"

"Jun this is not okay, you're basically burning up"

Jun moved away from Wonwoo's touch "I'll be okay, I'll just sleep it off and I already took cold medicine"

"Yeah, but I don't think that will be enough"

Wonwoo was worried and his conversation stirred up a sleepy Minghao "Guys please" he whined trying to go back to sleep
