Seungmin's eyes followed the sound coming from beside him and looked from down at the table to up at Felix, where the latter was currently going through another pretty bad coughing fit. Although it wasn't something new, something that just started that morning, Seungmin was still surprised and worried at how bad it sounded. Felix has been stuck with this bad cough for quite a while and the more days that passed, the worse the cough got. So, when the cough didn't light up and Felix kept on going, Seungmin was almost sure that the dancer wasn't just choking on his breakfast.

He moved Felix's plate away from him and told him he'd be right back before getting up from his chair and rushed to the kitchen. Seungmin opened the cabinet his hand was the closest to, grabbing the first cup he saw and filled it up with cold water. Over the tap running, Seungmin's foot tapping against the ground out of pure impatience and worry and being in a completely different room, he could still hear the wheezing and raspy breaths Felix was emitting. The water suddenly seemed like it was taking way too long to fill the small cup Seungmin had grabbed, which in turn, seemed like it was way bigger than the vocalist thought. Eventually though, Seungmin just said "Fuck it" and shut off the tap when the glass was only half full.

Seungmin went back into the dining room and sat back down in his spot, setting the glass of water down in front of Felix. He couldn't do much to help him through the fit except for rubbing the older's back and pushing his hair out of the way to get a better view to watch. Felix's coughing fit started to light up a few minutes later and fortunately, he stopped coughing. Between the silence after coughing and the first words being spoken, Felix had his head cast downwards while trying to catch his breath. That fit was one of the worst he'd experience so far, leaving him fully out of breath and tired. Seungmin offered his hand out to the dancer, who instantly took it and leaned his weight against Seungmin. After a couple more (painfully sounding) deep breaths, Seungmin deemed it the right time to start talking.

"Yikes. That cold isn't getting any better, is it?" he pushed the glass of water closer to Felix, who wasted no time in taking it.

"Hmm" Felix hummed while gulping down the water, "Unfortunately, no. I think– *Cough x2* I think that was my worst coughing fit yet."

"Oh god, Lixie" the tone in his voice couldn't be any closer to feeling sympathetic for Felix.

"Thanks for the water" Felix mumbled in between drinking the last couple drops of water.

"No problem. But anyways, do you think you'll be able to join us today? With a full day of dance practice and a cough like that, I highly doubt you're gonna fare well" Seungmin left to the kitchen to get Felix some more water, the latter following after him.

"There's no harm in at least trying" Felix shrugged.

Seungmin was very skeptical, to say the least, about letting Felix come along with them when he could barely breathe without having one of those notorious coughing fits. He overheard a couple days ago when they were last at the practice room that today was gonna be focused on some of their more energetic choreo. Bad news for Felix but either he must've not heard or he did but still wanted to go.

He looked back at Felix, who had his hand now clutching the edge of the kitchen island and looked like another coughing fit was on the rise. Seungmin was more concerned for his fellow idol than displeased at him seemingly choosing to follow his schedule that day at this point. The younger set the glass down on the counter before sitting on one of the stools and staying with him. He did wanna do something more but there really wasn't much he could do during these fits. Seungmin watched Felix as he kept on coughing, and coughing, and entering what looked like a state of pain and agony.
