Ξ CONTAGIOUS Ξ M.Y x K.S.J

❃ Four ❃

Seokjin woke up feeling feverish, stuck in bed as his body was weak and fighting off the bacteria within his immune system. Taehyung hummed as he read the temperature off of the thermometer and cooed at Seokjin. "Poor baby got sick, big brother Taehyung will watch over you, okay?" Taehyung sets a cool pack over Seokjin's forehead and tucked him in neatly. Seokjin couldn't keep awake due to the heavy sleepiness hovering over him. Taehyung left the dorm to buy medicine and soup to make.

He felt anxious to leave the younger alone in bed, so he needs to ask someone to help watch over him. Taehyung pulled out his phone and dials the number.

"Hey, Jimin?"

Yoongi stepped out his dorm with a towel in hand. His bathroom shower broke and would have to go to use the dorms public bathroom. He spotted the younger other on his phone asking for Jimin's help to watch after the sick one. Yoongi approaches their dorm and walked inside immediately, having Taehyung tag along inside with him from the sudden actions.

"Ah, Yoongi Hyung?"

Yoongi sat next to the ailed other and softly sighed. "I'll watch after him. Don't bug someone in the middle of his dance practice. It's best to have someone that's known him for his whole life." Taehyung blinked from the sudden confusion and just shrugged it off "You're weird sometimes, Yoongi Hyung. Anyway, don't kill him. I'll be right back." Taehyung left the dorms.

Yoongi watched over Seokjin and tended to him. Seokjin time to time mumbled for some water and Yoongi would hydrate him when he asks for it. Lifting his head carefully to not spill any water on his chest or down his chin. He'd renew the cool pack if it was too warm. He did many things to make sure Seokjin stayed well rested.

"This reminds me that one time you were sick for two weeks. You actually made me worry that one time."

Yoongi's mind transitioned to the memory of when in elementary, Seokjin caught a terrible fever. His parents were stuck in work and traffic most of the time after school ended because it was raining majority of the passing day. Seokjin had to attend school as his parents weren't able to stay home, so he had to be cared for at the nurses office. Yoongi would check on him after school and slipped a banana milk in Seokjin's backpack for the younger to have.

Yoongi watched him from afar, being the warm heart kid he was usually from the start. It made Yoongi felt he had a purpose as his parents were mostly either abusive or never home during the times. He was giving Seokjin the care that he wanted from his parents as if he felt a deep connection to the younger. One day, Seokjin had improved from his illness state during his stay after school within the nurse's room. Yoongi happened to witness the boy wake up in his bed, sitting up weakly as he hasn't left the bed much from the heavy body fighting the illness. "Seokjin! How are you feeling sweetie?" The nurse gently smiled at the other and felt relieved to see him healthy. Yoongi on the other hand felt he wanted to hug Seokjin. He stared at him from afar of the nurses door entrance, and it wasn't raining anymore. Yoongi had no reason to stay after school and help out with Seokjin feeling better. Meaning he can go home at usual and enter his household as his parents greet him with muffled arguments in their upstairs bedroom and the sound of glass breaking from whatever it came from.
Yoongi wished Seokjin could stay sick.

Yoongi's mind came back to the ill Seokjin in bed before him. His palm caressing his cheek gently and caring. He felt a warm feeling within himself which had him react in such an odd way. "Yoongi.." The sudden weak whisper startled the other from the coincidental timing of Seokjin's voice reacting to Yoongi's warm hand.

"Yoongi..." The other wondered to himself if Seokjin was awake at this point and just trying to wake up. Seokjin's eyes suddenly formed tears that dripped down his temples, aching for the other possibly through a dream, a fever dream. Yoongi gently pats Seokjin's covered blanketed stomach to reassure his warming existence to be of relief to the other. The quiet atmosphere began to have Yoongi question himself while its quiet.

Why did I agree to this? You would've liked Jimin to take care of you better, Right? I've only been pushing you away, yet you keep approaching me. Yoongi sighs to himself.
He continued to care for Seokjin till Taehyung had made his existence known by walking through the door with the medicine he would need to give Seokjin. He spot Taehyung and greeted him with a nod
"Is he alright? I brought the medicine so you can go to your dorm now."
Yoongi felt hesitant and looked over at Seokjin again. The actions he did next shocked Taehyung: He planted a small kiss on Seokjin's cheek and took himself out the two's dorm. Returning to his room with a small groan to leave his lips as he cursed away at his questioning actions. "I must be going crazy- maybe I'm getting sick."

Taehyung had prepared Seokjin's medicine while the image of Yoongi kissing Seokjin's cheek embedded in his mind. Feeling the bot of jealousy struck in him, eventually sighing and shaking off the feeling once he reached Seokjin's bed. He sat next to the younger other and felt at his forehead. At then, Seokjin woke up and groggily whined "Not that medicine.."
Taehyung chuckled "You have to take it, you have to be strong! For me?" Seokjin sat up as Taehyung gently pats away at his head, Seokjin eventually taking his medicine and with a sudden sharp glare at his senior. "What?" Taehyung questioned the jabbing staring contest. Seokjin sets down the small glass of water, continuing his death glare. "You tried to sneak a kiss at me while I was asleep, weren't you? Kissing my cheek while I sleep catching me off guard." Taehyung's eyes widened "That wasn't me! I would never make such a move-"

"Liar liar pants on fire." Seokjin then pulled his covers over his warm clothed body and snuggled in his bed. Taehyung flailing his words about as they're shocked and holding back his dumbfounded laughter. "It really wasn't me, Jinnie! Let Hyung see your faaace"

"No."

"Come on- Don't be like this, Seokjin!"

"Be quiet, you're too loud and giving me a headache" Seokjin pouted and whines while trying to shake off a noisy Taehyung trying to clear his name.
