Sickie: Yeosang
Caregivers: mainly Yunho

No one’s POV.:

When Yeosang woke up the to the darkness of his room, he felt like he had been hit by a train. He was hot, skin prickling with sweat. His breath came fast and scratchy, making his throat itch and ache. Groaning, Yeosang rubbed his face and tried to lift his head off the pillow, only to be hit with an intense dizzy spell. He weakly dropped his pounding head back on the pillow and took a shaky breath. Water, he needed water.

Taking a few minutes of steady breathing, Yeosang tried to prepare himself for getting up but he still felt so incredibly weak when he finally managed to sit up. He sat slumped on the edge of his bed, miserably resting his head in his hands. The kitchen was so far away that getting himself a drink seemed impossible but Yeosang would at least try. He didn’t even notice how he swayed, gripping the edge of his nightstand to push himself up. Yeosang panted as he struggled to stay on his feet despite his legs feeling like jelly and his head swimming. With ringing ears, he collapsed back onto his bed and pressed the balls of his hands to his eyes.

Yeosang had to hold back tears when he realized he wouldn’t be getting up anytime soon. With how dry his throat was, he doubted he’d be able to call out to his dorm mate loudly enough to wake him. No, Yunho wouldn’t wake up if he tried to yell for his help. Yeosang fumbled for his phone on the nightstand, his hands trembling so much, he barely managed to type his message. The older wouldn’t be getting up for another couple of hours but that was still better than fainting in the hallway if he tried to get out of bed himself.

Yunho yawned, grumpily feeling around for his phone to turn off his alarm. When he blearily checked the time, he found a message from Yeosang. Wow, it had been sent three hours ago. What was his dongsaeng doing up in the middle of the night? Water? Why couldn’t Yeosang get water for himself? Scratching the back of his head, Yunho shuffled to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water before going to check on the younger.

The air in Yeosang’s room was stuffy and Yunho switched on the reading lamp as he took a seat on the edge of his dongsaeng’s bed. “Sang?”, he asked softly, rubbing Yeosang’s arm to rouse him, “I’m sorry, I saw your message just now. Is everything alright?” Everything was not alright and Yeosang didn’t feel the slightest bit better when he was woken up for the second time. The only change were the goosebumps on his arms and the droplets of sweat on his forehead.

His vision was foggy when he looked up at Yunho and mumbled: “Don’t feel so good, hyung. Is the room spinning or is it just me?” Gently pressing the backs of his fingers against Yeosang’s forehead, Yunho hummed: “You’re a little warm. Is that why you texted me last night?” – “I was thirsty but couldn’t get up”, Yeosang yawned, closing his eyes again.
“Don’t fall asleep on me”, Yunho chuckled when Yeosang remained quiet after that, “I got you some water but if you can give me some more details on how you’re feeling, I might be able to help.” The boy’s arms shook as he tried to prop himself up, rasping: “Jus’ need some water.” – “You look like you need a whole lot more than just water”, Yunho sighed as he slipped his arm around his dongsaeng’s shoulders to sit him up.

With the other’s help, Yeosang was able to drink a few sips of water before having to lay back down. Reaching for his phone, Yunho smiled: “I’ll let hyungs know what’s going on, yeah? There’s no point in dragging you out today.” – “Could you – could you help me to the bathroom first?”, the younger asked hesitantly, “I-I kinda need to go but….”
After helping Yeosang out of bed, Yunho was shocked by how hard the younger was struggling to stand. “I feel like jelly”, Yeosang whimpered, clinging to his hyung’s arm. He was already panting from the strain and they had barely made it out into the hallway. When Yunho scooped him up without any warning, Yeosang’s head was sent spinning again and his heart raced with panic as he tightened his grip on the older. Yunho muttered a quick apology, carrying his dongsaeng to the bathroom.
