living with seven older brothers - nct dream

Worries

Time slowly passes, but their worries did not ease at all. 

Jaemin rubs his temples, feeling the weight of the situation on his shoulder. 

Jisung fidget with his phone, trying to distract himself from the worry. 

Jeno stares off into space, lost in his thoughts. 

Haechan also looks very worried, his usual cheerful features is nowhere to be found. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you slowly wake up, the first thing you notice is the quiet whispering sound next door. The sound of your waking movement catches the attention of your brothers, they quickly stand up and peak into your room. Seeing your wake up brings a mixture of relief and anxiety.  

Mark: "Hey buddy, glad to see you are awake. How are you feeling?"

Jisung: "Clarieriiiii - are you okayy?"

Chenle: "We are so sorry that we weren't at home when you were sick...."

You: "Oh..hi everyone. I guess you all got the news that I am sick... Sorry for making you guys worry."

Mark: "We should be the one who apologise. We are so sorry that this has happened to you. We should've noticed you being unwell and should've taken you to the hospital earlier. "

Jisung walks closer to you and takes your hand in his, squeezing it gently. 

Jisung: "We are so sorry... We are just glad that you are getting better now. The doctor will figure out what is wrong and fix you up soon."

You: "Where is the doctor? Am I okay?"

Mark glanced toward the door. 

Mark: "The doctor should be coming any time now They are probably still looking at your results."

Just as Mark finishes speaking, the door opens and the doctor walks in. All of them quickly sits up and anxiously wait for doctor's advice. 

The doctor approaches your bed, a serious but comforting expression on their face. They open the folder and begin to speak.

Doctor: "We've reviewed your test results. Based on the ultrasound and your symptoms, we believe your condition is due to an infection in your stomach lining, likely caused by prolonged vomiting and nausea. To treat this, we'll need to start you on a course of antibiotics to get rid of the infection. Additionally, you'll likely need to be on a liquid diet for a few days to ensure your stomach can heal properly without being further irritated by solid foods."

You: "Do I have to go on liquid diet....?"

Doctor: "I know it might not be the best, but it is temporary. When your stomach feels better, we can gradually reintroduce solid food."

You: "Alright... :("

Doctor: "Good. Now, I will prescribe the antibiotics for you to start right away. I will also give you this booklet about liquid diet instructions." 

Jaemin: "Thank you doctor. We will hold onto the booklet."

The doctor nods and heads towards the door, leaving the room. The members look at you, their expressions a mix of worry and relief.

Mark: "You heard the doctor, buddy. You gotta stick to the liquid diet for a bit. It's gonna suck, but it's for your own good."

Jeno: "Promise you'll take your medication and follow the diet plan, okay? It's important for your recovery."

Chenle grins at you, trying to lift the mood.

Chenle: "Don't worry, I'll make sure you have the best, weirdest smoothie combinations to keep things interesting."

***sip it sip it down like smoothie ~~~

The rest chuckle softly at Chenle's comment, glad for the momentary distraction. Jisung reaches out and pats your hand gently.

Jisung: "I'll make sure to bring you books or games to keep you entertained while you're resting."

Mark: "Yeah, and I'll bring my laptop so we can watch movies together. We can have a little mini-movie marathon."

While everyone are discussing what to bring you to kill you boredom, Renjun glances at you, noticing your sielnce. He knows you have been through a lot and the tiredness is here again. 

Renjun: "You look tired, honey. Maybe you should rest some more. We will just be in the sofa area next to you when you wake up." 

The rest of them nod in agreement, noticing your tired expression. 

Jeno: "Yeah, you should rest a bit more. We will be right here." He walks closer to you, making sure you are comfortable before heading to the sofa area. 

Your brothers quietly watch you close your eyes and start to rest. They remain silent, staying by your bedside for a bit as you slowly fall asleep. 

The members sat on the sofa quietly. Their eyes occasionally flicking towards the vital minitor to make sure everything is okay. They chat softly amongst themsleves, keeping their voices low so they don't disturb you sleep. 

Time passes, and the room is quiet except for the soft sounds of the medical equipment and the whispering of the members as they chat quietly amongst themselves. They keep a watchful eye on you, making sure you're resting peacefully and that your medication and IV fluids are doing their job.
