"Oppa," You whispered.
"Oppa, is everything ok?"
Hoseok awoke to you sitting by his bed. He rubbed his eyes to look at clock with red lights saying: 8:45 a.m.
"Jin oppa told me to check on you since you said you felt dizzy last night." You said.
Hoseok groaned and tried to lift his body off the bed but a chilling ache shifted through his muscles making each movement more painful than it should be. You ran over and fluffed up the pillow and adjusted it towards his back. You scooted closer and placed your hand gently over Hoseok's forehead and neck.
"Oppa! You're really hot right now!" You shouted.
"I'm flattered that you think I'm cute. But I'm fine, Y/N. Don't worry about me." said Hoseok.
You glared at him as he flashed you a cheesy smile.
"No! What I mean is that you have a high fever and I can see you're in pain!" You replied.
"I'm going downstairs to get some things, don't leave until I get back."
Hoseok was about to protest until he heard the door to his room click shut. He sighed and bought another pillow to his back. He rubbed his neck up and down and muttered under his breath. He thought back to your reaction when he teased you. A light blush washing over your smile. He loved seeing you get so flustered over his jokes. He found everything you do to be very adorable.
"Aigoo~ What's taking y/n so long," said Hoseok.
He tossed the thick blanket off himself and breathed at the chilling air coming from his room. His hair dripping with sweat.
"I'm back!!" You shouted.
You bit the inside of your cheek as you observed how sweaty Hoseok was. If his fever got any higher you would have no choice but to rush him into the hospital. You had a bowl full of ice water and a rag. Along with some snacks and ginseng tea. You pulled out a bandana fluttering with a vibrant purple color traced with designs of flowers and swirls everywhere. You dabbed the rag in water and placed it lightly over Hoseok's forehead looking at his fatigued face in worry.
"Do you mind if I take the blanket off for a moment?" You asked.
Hoseok groggily nodded and his eyes looked heavy as a few blocks of led were weighing him down. You pushed away the remainder of the sheet and dipped the whole towel in the icy water. Not caring about the water that soaked the mattress you carefully tugged at Hoseok's tanktop. You hesitated in pulling up his shirt. Your heart skipped a few beats and bounced around in your chest at the sight of Hoseok's bare abdomen. He spent days even nights working hard to get dance routines down and being a great dancer of course required him to stay in excellent shape. Parts of his chest were exposed too leaving you beet red in your face. You laid the towel down on his stomach and quickly placed his shirt over it. Your heart couldn't stopped beating in your heart praying that Hoseok did not notice any of your odd behavior.
"Im feeling a lot better now," said Hoseok.
"Thank you."
You took the bandana of his head and soaked it again in water. You carefully soaked part of his neck and collar to wick any more heat out. You felt tense being so close to Hoseok. His dark eyes shining against the light from outside you gazed at how they reminded you so much of the texture of sand and how beautiful hills would form under the desert. The sand would soon dance with the wind and swirl to make a typhoon of a sandstorm. You were trapped in looking at Hoseok and he felt his eyes heavy on yours. He took your hand and gently interlinked his with yours.
"Can you stay here with me? Y/N? I'm scared of being alone," said Hoseok.
You smiled and a jolt of shock dashed from your arm making your face go more red than it already was. You traced a random design along the back of his hand taking a small bite out of an unwrapped granola bar.
"You know I'll be here until you feel all better oppa." You said.
"What type of person would I be if I just left you here all alone?"
Hoseok looked worried.
"Is anyone not suspicious of us being gone?"
You shook your head and looked at him calmly.
"Don't worry, Taehyung knows what is going on."
Hoseok sat upright and hunched his back bringing him closer towards you. His lips graze your soft cheek leaving him smiling.
"Aish! Hobi!! You're going to get me sick." You said.
Hoseok pouts and puffs his lower lip out. He gives you the glossy eyes look and lunges a kiss.
"So what if I get you sick," whispered Hoseok between the kiss.
He playfully tangled his hand in your hair and let his tongue explore your mouth for a little before he let go slightly breathless pulling you into the mattress where he has you clutched onto his arm.
"You being sick just means we both get to cuddle longer." said Hoseok.
He gives you one long kiss before eating cashews.
"Hobi!! But I can't get sick. Who will be taking care of the both of us?" You said with worry.
There's the other members sweetheart You thought.
You just relax and enjoy this time with Hoseok. Besides, he kissed you of course! I just hope it's worth not getting sick.
