"Pretending"

Resting on Rewrite

Sure enough, Hyungwon got sick, he was forced to stay in bed the whole day by Kihyun.

"Kihyun, I'm fine I could still go." He sat up and ignored the dizziness the best he could. "See? No big deal." He fought the urge to close his eyes and now that he was out of the sheets he was a little cold.

"They'll be fine without you, the only scene you have to shoot is the one with Jun. If you rest all day you'll be good for tomorrow now take this." Kihyun had been walking around the room the whole time he's been there. He was picking up Hyungwon's clothes and putting them in the laundry basket, tidying up his drawers and closet, and he even changed the trash. Now he was handing the younger a glass of water. 

"Exactly." Hyungwon was giving into his sickness and let his eyes droop slightly but continued to watch Kihyun move around, finding it amusing he was wearing the white face mask dentists used. "I only have to film a short thing so it would be fine if I just go then leave right after and rest." He cursed himself when he couldn't even muster enough energy to take the glass from the elder.

"Hyungwon I am not letting you walk out of this house in that state of health. You have a fever and you haven't been eating or sleeping properly and there is nothing that would -" right then Kihyun's phone went off and Hyungwon couldn't hold in a small, bitter laugh.

The extra energy sent him back onto the bed and he was still chuckling slightly as Kihyun took the call. Of course, he had to go somewhere, it was expected of a high-end manager and agent. He didn't bother listening to the conversation but here and there he heard Kihyun agreeing and disagreeing with things. He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

He looked up to see Kihyun's eyes closed and chest rising and falling with every breath he took in and released. Hyungwon brought himself closer to the other and buried his face in the other's chest. Although he was the taller one, Kihyun's embrace was comforting and warm. When he brought his arms around Kihyun's torso he found fingers making their way into his hair and he couldn't contain his smile any longer.

The sudden tight hold and movement stirred Kihyun from his sleep but he didn't entirely wake up, with his eyes closed he pat Hyungwon's head. "Feeling better?"

"Yeah, thanks." Hyungwon hugged Kihyun tighter, afraid he would leave.

"Hey calm down, you're going to suffocate me." He didn't really struggle but the whine was enough to get Hyungwon to loosen his hold. There was a phone ringing in the background and Hyungwon tightened his hold in reflex, wanting the moment to last a little longer.

"Hyungwon," Even though Kihyun sounded like he needed to get out of bed, his eyes were still closed and he was still cradling the back of Hyungwon's neck. He played with the hair in his hands for a while before sighing and trying to get up.

"C'mon Hyungwon, up." He cracked an eye open to look at the other. Hyungwon was pouting and it put a tired smile on Kihyun's face as he mustered enough energy to move his hand down to stroke Hyungwon's cheek. "Let's get up-" The phone went off in the distance again and Kihyun was actually able to roll away this time. Hyungwon let out a whine but cut it short to listen to Kihyun's laugh.

Rolling all the way to the other side of the bed, he watched Kihyun answer his phone. He was still smiling at Hyungwon as he brought the device to his ears but when he heard the voice on the other line his expression became sullen. He was still looking at Hyungwon and he tried to smile but it faltered with every word coming from the speaker.

Hyungwon tried to hear what the other person was saying but he couldn't understand. Kihyun began to bite his lip before wincing at the last statement. Taking the phone away from his ear moved back towards the bed and brought Hyungwon into his arms again, burying his face in the taller's chest.
