A Selfless Heart (Asahi)

Asahi awoke to a throbbing headache, a tightness in his throat and a nauseated feeling. It was the beginning of a busy week filled with promotions for TREASURE's latest album, and he brushed aside the discomfort. "Just a bit of fatigue," he thought, forcing himself out of bed. The rest of the members were still asleep, their soft breaths a reminder of the long days they'd been putting in.

Asahi showered, the hot water soothing his muscles, but as he dried off, he couldn't shake the chills creeping up his spine. He dressed quickly and joined the others for breakfast. Hyunsuk and Jihoon were bickering over who would make the coffee while Yoshi prepared some toast. The atmosphere was warm and familiar, and for a moment, Asahi felt his spirits lift.

"Are you okay?" Junghwan asked, looking up from his seat as he poured syrup on his pancakes.

"Yeah, just a little tired," Asahi replied with a smile that he hoped masked the weariness in his eyes.

The members shared breakfast, and despite feeling unwell, Asahi managed to laugh along, pushing his discomfort aside. After their meal, they gathered their things and headed out for a long day of rehearsals and interviews. Asahi fought to keep his energy up, but by the time they returned to the dorm that evening, he was exhausted.

Asahi crawled into bed, hoping that a good night's sleep would help him feel better. But the next morning, he woke up feeling worse. His body ached, and his throat was raw. He had a slight fever, but he didn't want to worry the other members. They were already busy with their schedules, and he didn't want to be a burden.

The next few days passed in a blur. Asahi tried to take care of himself-drinking water, resting as much as possible-but it was hard to ignore the growing symptoms. He was bedridden most of the time, and his efforts to keep his illness hidden began to wear on him. The rest of the members were swamped with promotions, leaving little time to check in on him.

Meanwhile, Junghwan started to show signs of illness, a cough developing as the days went on. Asahi, despite his own declining health, found himself worrying about the maknae. "You should rest," he insisted one evening, even though he could barely stand without feeling dizzy. "I'll make you some tea."

"Are you sure you're okay?" Junghwan asked, concern etched on his face.

"Of course! Just a little tired," Asahi replied, waving off the question as he made his way to the kitchen. He brewed a cup of herbal tea, hoping it would soothe Junghwan's throat, even as his own cough worsened.

Asahi busied himself with chores around the dorm, making soup for Junghwan and tidying up their shared space, determined to keep things in order. But with every passing day, he felt weaker. He pushed through the discomfort, always prioritizing Junghwan's needs over his own.

"Why are you doing this?" Junghwan asked one night, voice raspy. "You look sick too, hyung. You need to take care of yourself."

Asahi shook his head, forcing a smile. "I'll be fine. Just focus on getting better, okay?" He was so determined to be strong for Junghwan that he ignored the fact that he was on the verge of collapse.

As the week wore on, the other members became busier with promotional activities. They would leave early in the morning and return late at night, often too exhausted to notice Asahi's decline. Each time they came home, Asahi put on a brave face, hiding his symptoms beneath a veneer of normalcy.

One night, after a long day of schedules, Jihoon returned to the dorm, feeling the weight of fatigue settle on his shoulders. He noticed the unusual quietness and the absence of Asahi's usual cheerful energy. "Where's Asahi?" he asked, glancing around.

"Probably resting," Yoshi replied. "He said he was a bit under the weather."

"Let's check on him," Jihoon suggested, a nagging worry forming in his chest. They headed down the hall, and Jihoon knocked on Asahi's door.
