"Hi Baby how are you feeling?"
Jeonghan came closer, his voice hushed and calm

Very Demure ✨ very calm 😌
(Sorry couldn't help myself 🤣)

He sat down next to Chan in the bed and tried to analyze the situation.

Chan just woke up blinking slowly, his mind still foggy and eyes reddened and tired.
Jeonghan didn't want to bother him much, he just wanted to check on him and maybe get him to eat something.

Chan didn't move, he nodded once and snuggled further into his blanket.
"Want some breakfast?"

She shook his head "No, I might throw up again"

Jeonghan sighed a little "You still need to eat though"

"Maybe later"

The younger sounded weaker than usual and it only made Jeonghan worry more and more.

"Is DK around? I want to apologize for what happened ... I kinda threw up in him" Chan winced at the memory and Jeonghan chuckled "Yes you kinda did ... and then fainted on him"

"Yeah ... I don't know what happened really, I didn't feel anything until I got home"

"I know, it really isn't your fault"

"I'm sorry"

Jeonghan smiled at the puppy eyes Chan was making, last night was definitely unexpected and Chan barely had any control over himself.
He wasn't feel all too well throughout the day and it just happened so quickly that none of them knew what to do.

Chan was unconscious in DK's arms after throwing up for over twenty minutes straight.

The doctor said that it was food poisoning and that something probably didn't sit well with his stomach but the test results confirmed it except that it showed something that Chan didn't remember having at all.

Needless to say that an investigation was wide open to figure out how did that one particular expired food item ended up on Chan's plate.

They got home pretty late last night and Chan had a hard time getting some rest. His head was pounding and spinning still, the urge to vomit overtook him over and over again. The doctors said that he was cleared to go home after spending almost three days at the clinic but Chan was still exhausted.

Jeonghan pressed his palm against the boy's forehead "I'll get your medicine and some juice? How about yoghurt?"

Chan really didn't want to risk it but Jeonghan was almost about to beg him so he surrendered "Juice is fine"
Jeonghan smiled feeling a bit better that Chan agreed to eat something no matter how small.

Chan simply snuggled back into his blankets and allowed his tired eyes to close again. The apartment was quiet and the a bit cold which he very much enjoyed. His temperature was rising up and down giving him different waves of warmth and cold. He tried not to think much but he always end up with the same thoughts rushing through his head.

There was only one way he ended up poisoned and he didn't want to believe it for the longest time but when they filed an official report and lawsuit against that one person he thought he once trusted, everything seemed to just fall apart.

A close manager ... a friend
A hater of some sick kind that Chan couldn't even begin to describe.

The door suddenly was pushed open "Hi, heard you woke up"

Chan smiled seeing Wonwoo by the door and invited him in and soon DK followed

"DK" he was excited to see him, embarrassed but also excited. Wonwoo gently patted Chan's hair and sat on the chair when DK flopped by his side
"How are you feeling?"

"Much better ... listen I really wanted to apologize—"

"Don't be ridiculous, nothing happened, I'm just glad you're okay"

"You scared up shitless but we're just happy you're okay" Wonwoo added and DK nodded in agreement

Chan had this look on his face, thankful? Grateful? Maybe also sad and disappointed but he wasn't alone and he trusted them with his life.

"Hey ... do you want to play a game?"
Wonwoo suggested pulling out his console and Chan nodded endlessly "I'd love to"
