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

[...we just have to be patient with him and explain to him softly what happened.. he might feel embarrassed too, so lets try to make him feel loved and understood.. and most important.. accepted. Can we do that?" Jisung asked and the others nodded with smiles.

The days passed slowly, Linos fever seemed to be persistent. When the boys thought it would go, it was just as high the next day once again. So after a week of fighting with the babys fever, they had no other choice then take him to the hospital, because like this it would take ages for the fever to sink.

More worrying was the more and more weakened state of the young boy. He was just crying most of the time, not able to move his heavy limbs. He lost weight because he wasnt eating at all and if he did, he just puke it back up not even 20 minutes later. In the hospital after telling the nurse at the desk what the matter was, she instantly send them into a examination room and went to fetch a doctor who knew Minho already and also all his personalities.

When the young doctor stepped into the room his heart broke by how fragile the young man looked. "Hello, Im doctor Kyun. Im working with Mister Lee ever since he got diagnosed with DID.. i heard hes quite sick and it wont get better. Could you enlighten me  about his condition a little more while i start the usual check up?" The boys nodded and started to tell the doc everything necessary and important.

The doctor nodded, quietly and gently checking Lino over. He quickly seemed to get what the problem was and put him onto many different machines. He gave him medication for the fever and the other symptoms like the coughing and the hoarse throat and then he turned to the boys. "It seems like the little one has a bad case of the flu and on top of that also a stomache bug which explains the constant vomting after eating something. I would keep him here to observations but i can arrange that you all can stay with him." 

The boys nodded quickly and sighed in relief after fiding out it was nothing life threatening the baby had. They sat around his bed day and night, dabing the sweat from his forehead until the fever broke and all of them could rest. Days turned into two weeks before there was finally a sign of Lino getting better, he gained some weight again and thez could slowly see that he slipped out of this headspace, so the next time he woke up, Minho looked around confused, his gaze stopping on his friends.

"W-what...? Where am I..? What are you doing here...?" He asked so confused, Jisung took the lead walking up to him and sitting on the bed. "Hey.. Youre in the hospital, Min... we.. well, a few weeks ago you didnt came to work, it worried us.. you didnt answered any calls or messages... until... you did... well... Lino did.. you were really sick... youre fever didnt broke it just came back just as high when we thought it would go down.. you lost weight because of a bad stomache bug that made you throw up 20 minutes after to digested food... you were so weak.. we ha no other chance but bring you here..."

Minho stared at Jisung in horror, hearing how sick he was but the most terrifying thing was, that they knew about Lino know. But, but when he looked at them.. he couldnt see any hint of. disgust or judgement, all he saw was relief in their eyes and those soft fond smiles. "You... y-you dont hate... me?" He asked still not quite sure what to make about this situation. "No.. no we dont hate you, Min... honestly.. Lino was absolutely adorable.. and i dont know how it is with the others.. but i would like to play with him someday." Hyunjin said with big smile, the others nodded excitedly, ageeing with the long haired boy, causing Minho to avoid their eyes, his cheeks slightly turning pink.

This.. this was better than he thought it would be. He was expecting so many negative words and action, but nstead they.. they wanted to meet Lino again and even play with him. Minho lifted his head, looking at his friends and then nodded shyly, finding the idea quite exciting himself, but first he needs to get better, thats the most important thing now. Without really realizing it, his eyes grew heavy again and he fell back asleep, getting all the rest he could.

to be continue...
