14 April

"Hellooo?" Jisung popped his head through the apartment door. He had been knocking and waiting outside for the past 10 minutes but no one had responded.

He was lucky that Felix had told him the apartment's passcode previously, otherwise he would be waiting here for hours.

Jisung entered the eerily quiet apartment, usually the apartment would be bustling with life and noise, now it was like it was abandoned for good.

"Minhooo??" Jisung called out, walking past the tidy living room and into the corridor with the 3 bedrooms. He walked down the hallway and stood infront of the door to Minho's room. He took a breath, not wondering what to expect when he opened Minho's door.

"Minho?" He whispered, slowly opening the door. He glanced into the room and saw a bundle of blankets on the untidy bed. A lump was underneath all those blankets.

The usually neat and clean room had a few hoodies and tissues littered on the floor, the curtains were closed and no lights were on. The room was dark and the air was stale. The energy was stagnant and dead.

Jisung slowly walked closer to the lump, quietly calling out to it again.

"Are you awake?" Jisung gently prodded the lump, nothing but a small groan was heard in the silent apartment. Jisung slowly pulled the blankets back off the lump, one by one, getting closer to revealing the boy.

As he pulled back the last blanket Jisung gasped at the sight in front of him. Minho was curled up in the fetus position, arms close to his torso. The elder was covered in a layer of sweat and wore a thick black hoodie.

"Minho?" Jisung called to him again, making sure he was alive. The younger prodded the boy awake.

"Hm?" Minho slowly blinked and hummed. Finally awake from his slumber. He glanced up to Jisung and back to the floor, constantly blinking slowly.

Jisung put his hand up to Minho's forehead, gently feeling his temperature and quickly removed it, shaking his head once he felt the elder was burning up.

"Come on Minho, you need to take better care of yourself." Jisung pulled Minho to sit up, folding all 4 blankets the elder used.

"Nooo don't take them away! It's cold." Minho pouted as he watched Jisung put the blankets in the closet.

Jisung ignored the elder and continued looking through his closet, trying to find a light t-shirt for Minho to change in. After finding one he walked back to the bed, placing down the random blue t-shirt, black joggers, clean boxers and towl.

"Come on you need to shower. You're practically bathing in your own sweat." Jisung gently pulled Minho off his bed, making him stand in the corner of his room and watch as Jisung tidied up his bed and open the curtains and windows.

"I didn't ask for you to babysit me like this. I can look after myself."  Minho complained, glaring at Jisung who was picking up all the hoodies and tissues.

Jisung threw the tissues in the bin and threw the hoodies in the laundry bin, dusting his hands off once he finished. "Yeah, I'm aware, but I want to help my friend."

"Now go shower. Your sick brain is getting defensive for no reason." Jisung glanced to Minho who seemed to be in a daze. He called out to the elder, trying to get his attention.

"Have you eaten yet?" Jisung walked up to Minho and took his hand to gain his attention. Minho's eyes stayed on their hands, following Jisung blindly to the kitchen.
