after kihyun saw the messages he hurriedly got up.

"hey kihyun? what are you doing?" hyungwon asked him.

"changkyun texted me. he's not feeling well, like at all. i'm going back to the hotel now, i'm not hungry anyways."

"and how exactly do you want to get there? you can't use the van, manager hyung wouldn't allow that." jooheon explained.

"then i'll walk- run. whatever-"

"i can drive. i'm done eating and don't you remember? i brought the rented car they organized?" hoseok said, looking at jooheon.

"let's go kihyun. i'll come back after i brought you there, i wanted to go to the cinema with hyungwon and minhyuk after the dinner. i'm sure it's okay if it's only you who's with him." kihyun gratefully smiled at him and both rushed out to the car after leaving the restaurant. while driving, kihyun nervously moved around in the passenger seat. hoseok noticed that of course.

"kihyun, calm down. he'll be okay."

"but it didn't sound good when he texted me, hyung."

"he'll be fine, i promise. he just needs a lot of rest and you should stay with him, ki. i noticed that he feels so much better only with you being around. he needs you, kihyun-ah. and i know that you won't leave him, right? you'll take care of him." hoseok calmly smiled.

"yes of course, never. i'll make sure of that. thank you, hyung." not long after they arrived and kihyun hopped off the car, thanking the older once again for driving. and to that, hoseok just smiled at him before leaving.

when kihyun knocked on the door nervously, it didn't take long until he heard sluggish steps approaching and the sight he was met with after the door opened, it broke his heart. changkyun was standing there, wearing a white shirt, soaked in sweat. he wore comfortable shorts, but his legs seemed to be so heavy. his face was pale, he was sweating, his cheeks red from the heat in his body, his eyes puffy, weary and and they appeared so heavy to keep open. he looked terribly sick. kihyun just looked at him, lost in his thoughts as to how worried he was about the younger. he snapped out if it though, as he noticed how changkyun leaned forward, falling into his arms after he gave him a weak, thankful smile. kihyun took a step forward just to catch him in time, immediately hugging the makne while rubbing his back in order to show him that it's okay. he closed the door with his foot and supported changkyun while walking, letting him lean on him. like this he led him to the the bed and sat the two of them down afterwards.
