Questions

"[NN]!"

_Your POV

I covered my ears, stinging from the sudden loud noises filling them. 

"Please, quiet," I scratched out as many words as I could. My throat felt extremely dry and I began to cough. I felt a hand on my back, patting it slightly as my coughing slowed. 

"Are you okay?" Super asked, concern clear in his quieted voice. 

"Fine," I hoped they could hear me as I was pushing my voice as much as I could. I went to move my arm to make a peace sign but I couldn't as my arms felt weak. 

"Oh, thank god," Was chorused around the boys, words varying per person. 

"Are you in any pain? We can get you anything you need," Mini spoke, his hand moving gently to my arm, as though he were afraid to break me. 

"No, I'm good," My voice came out scratchier than before but I was getting used to the feeling. Mini's hand squeezed my upper arm reassuringly, I would have winced but it was so gentle it was almost not there. 

"You have no idea how relieved we are," Joohyun spoke, his voice cracking almost as much as mine. I smiled slightly as I examined everyone's faces. I noticed deep bags under some of their eyes and wondered how worried they were. 

"You should rest, eyes," I tried to form a sentence but only parts came out. 

"We're fine. We just want to make sure you're okay," Lion spoke, his eyes as soft as I had ever seen them. 

"No, rest," I pushed my words with a bit more confidence. I just want them to be healthy. No one else has to suffer. 

"We'll take turns. At least one person needs to stay with you at all times. We can't risk-" Super cut himself off, worried that the topic would be sensitive. He guessed correctly. Just the thought of Gichul and Jaesuk made me tense up and my throat dries even more. 

"I'll stay first," Taehyung suggested, his tone gentle. 

"Alright, let's go rest," Namjoon stood up, leading the group out. Everyone left the room, shooting happy yet sad looks my way. Only Taehyung and I were in the room. 

"[N], I'm so happy you're back," He wrapped his arms around me gently as tears fell from his eyes. 

"Me too," I smiled as softly as my voice was. 

"You should get some rest," He let go of me, moving back to his seat and smiling, watching me intently. I nodded slightly and laid back, his gaze slowly moving from me to his phone. 

My eyes slowly drifted closed as thoughts crossed my mind. 

_The Next Morning

My dry eyes flickered open before harshly slamming shut once more, the light from the window blinding me. 

"-more to him today?" My ears picked up on the last of Super's conversation with the doctor

"Yes, his throat should be a little bit better. If he coughs a lot, flag us down and we can give him more medication," The doctor's answer came through my headache, causing me to groan in pain. 

My eyes were still slammed shut but I could sense their eyes on me. 

"[NN]?" Super's voice sent a pain through my head, earning another groan from me. I managed to nod my head slightly as shuffling pursued my now throbbing head. 

"Don't worry, I'm putting in some pain relievers," The doctor's soft voice still hurting my head. 

"Hey, I'm glad that you're awake," Super whispered soothingly as his hand rubbed my hair. I relaxed under his touch, my eyes beginning to open peacefully.
