after i came out from the shower, donghan was nowhere to be found.

his room door was closed, so i decided to go check on him. well, since i was forced to stay over to look after him, i might as well do my job make sure he was okay.

i opened his room door and peeked inside to see him lying on his bed, shirtless, and his hand holding onto his wounds.

"hey, are you okay?" i asked awkwardly, still standing at the doorway. my cheeks were heated up and i didn't even know why.

okay actually i was sure it was because donghan was lying shirtless on the bed, and i could clearly see his well-defined abs and biceps.

donghan turned around and looked at me, he looked really tired and different from earlier on.

concerned, i walked into his room, trying to ignore the fact that i was feeling really awkward.

"are you okay? you don't seem really well," i ask as i sat down beside him on his bed.

"i... i was showering and i just suddenly felt giddy, then my wounds started to hurt," he says.

he looked pale and his lips were a tint of purple.

i reached out my hand to feel his forehead only to find him burning hot.

"oh my god! you're burning!" i exclaimed worriedly.

"i...it's alright..." he speaks.

i bit down onto my lips.

"it's not alright!" i retorted, then i lifted his hands which were covering his wounds up to find his wounds red and swollen.

"oh crap, your wounds must've got infected," i said in a small voice as donghan flinched.

"eunbin i'm okay, don't worry you're overthinking," donghan weakly lifted up his hands and grabbed mine.

"you're not okay, wound infection is really serious. we should send you to the hospital," i told him.

"no, no don't. hyung is already in the hospital, i don't want my parents to have to worry about me too," he quickly said.

"don't worry about that now, you've to get treatment immediately. if you don't, your wounds would get even more serious and, and won't your parents have to worry for you more?" i caressed his hand gently.

he didn't reply me and i took it as a yes and fished out my phone to call the ambulance.
