-THE NEXT DAY-

"Hey Kai!" Soobin excitedly said as he entered the apartment of Kai's apartment. His smile then turned into a slight frown of worry.

Kai just hummed back in response.

Today and tomorrow is a holiday because his school was having a teachers meeting. And what is he doing with this opportune time you may ask? Laying on the couch, felt like he was sick to the core, blankets and even bed sheets toppled over him as he hugged them tight, looking straight at the TV... well, sideways. Beomgyu and Taehyun were out studying at the public library. Kai probably guessed that Beomgyu or Taehyun called Soobin to tell hm to accompany and take care of the sick boy. He didn't even bother asking or even thinking of how the boy was able to get inside his apartment without anyone helping opening the door from the inside. He wasn't drowsy or anything, he just had no energy.

"Kai, baby, flower, what happened last night?" Soobin bent his legs so he could be one level with Kai, but he went careful so as to not block Kai's vision of the TV that was currently playing 'The Bachelorette'.

It was silence right after, Kai just had no energy to answer or reply. Soobin looked deep into Kai's eyes at this moment -which Kai didn't notice because he was too focused on the show. He looked like his soul had been drained out of him...

"Well, you don't have to tell me now, let's see what we're dealing with..." Soobin stood back up straight and pulled out his phone from his right pocket. He looked to be typing something before he does a weird thing.

He held up his phone's upper side edge and pressed it against Kai's head. Not forcefully, but carefully. Kai could feel the coldness of the metal on his forehead that's slowly fading into warmth in the passing minutes. After a while, a beeping sound came on and Soobin pulled his phone from Kai's forehead and immediately checked it. "It says here your temperature is at 40°C degrees, and it seems like it's just the normal cold. Thank god." Soobin whispered the last part to himself but it was still quite loud enough so that Kai would've probably heard it. Kai softly smiled. It's good to know that the boy he liked,- and may you be reminded- just met- is now in his apartment, taking care of him when he has a cold.

"Okay... I didn't bring any medicine but I can buy it. Are you okay with-" before Soobin could finish his sentence, Kai let a hand out of his many sheets of covering and tugged on the denim jacket he was wearing (that stretched until barely above his kneecaps) and made a sad pout with his face. "Stay~" Kai mumbled softly, activating his killer puppy eyes too... right before he coughs violently. Soobin frowned.

"But you need medicine... I'll be right back. I promise I'll rush the hell out of that pharmacy and yEet my way back here..." Soobin joked to lighten up the mood a bit, and to his surprise, it worked. Kai was smiling and softly giggling, cautious to not cause more violent coughing.

Kai was still tugging on Soobin's denim jacket and started to make baby whining noises. Insisting on Soobin to stay. "Okay, fine... I'll use my pharmacy app and order from there and ask it to deliver it here..." Soobin just sat down on a smaller couch made for one person that was next to it. He sat there in silence, scrolling through his phone while waiting for the medicine to arrive. A few minutes has passed at this point and the app says it's 3 minutes away. So it couldn't be too long from now.
