Important notice at the end.
The state of relaxation didn't last long. After having been asleep for the whole remainder of the night and most of the morning, Seokjin's body decided that it was time to descend into total mayhem. Waking up to find himself wrapped in Jungkook's arms in a warm bed and pyjamas was a pleasant feeling, but the intense nausea was telling him otherwise.
He managed to stay quiet enough whilst rushing out of bed that Jungkook remained asleep. He wasn't so quiet when he slammed the bathroom door shut by accident, but that didn't matter as he fell to his knees in front of the toilet.
"Guys, we're back!" Namjoon called out to the seemingly lifeless apartment. Jimin, Yoongi and himself had returned from the visits to their families. They had decided to return on the same day and ended up arriving at the apartment at the same time.
"They must still be asleep," Yoongi muttered to them.
Jimin threw his things on the sofa, finally lying down after a good few hours on the train. Yoongi started checking what they could have for lunch with the ingredients that weren't needed for the Christmas dinner in the evening. Namjoon flicked on the TV to find a Christmas movie to put on in the background.
None of them were expecting a door to slam loudly. Jimin jumped about a foot in the air, and got up to see what all the fuss was about. After bounding up the stairs hurriedly, he noticed the bathroom door had been shut, and he could hear faint retching sounds coming from within.
But it's Christmas! he thought, realising how unfortunate it was for one of them to get sick. He knocked on the door very softly as to not startle whoever it was. When he didn't receive a response, he opened the door slowly to see a very pale, very sick, Seokjin.
"Oh you poor thing!" Jimin exclaimed almost instantly, dropping to his knees beside his hyung and rubbing his back as Jin turned to face him. Jin seemed to be surprised to see him as his expression screamed confusion.
Jimin explained in a soft tone,
"We just arrived, hyung. We thought you were asleep until we heard the door-" he was cut off by Jin turning back to the porcelain bowl and bringing up a stream of vomit.When he caught a breath, he turned again and said with a strained voice,
"Sorry, I haven't been well since yesterday." Jimin pouted with a feeling of sympathy, tightly wrapping his arms around Jin's waist.Jin gasped and weakly reached to grasp Jimin's hands,
"Please, not that tight, Jiminie," he almost begged, a hint of a whiny tone in his voice.Jimin was startled to get such a reaction out of Seokjin, drawing his hands away in an instant, stumbling frantically over an apology. Jin shook his head slightly, saying breathlessly,
"It's okay, Jimin,"Eventually, Jin felt well enough to stand, and with Jimin's help they got downstairs. Namjoon looked up when he heard footsteps, eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
Jimin saved him the question asking,
"Poor hyung isn't feeling well, I found him in the bathroom," as Seokjin collapsed into the sofa beside Namjoon, curling up into his side.Namjoon smiled fondly at the sleepy Seokjin, who was nuzzling his head into the younger's neck. Yoongi entered the room and got the explanation too, before he sat on the other smaller sofa and engaged himself in the movie that was playing (Die Hard, the best Christmas film obv).
At around 11am, Jungkook arrived from upstairs, and an hour later, Hoseok arrived from Gwangju. Taehyung said he would get to the apartment at around 2:45pm. All was fairly well, and Seokjin felt more at peace knowing that soon the whole group would be present.
But then, as Namjoon put on the second Home Alone film of the day, Seokjin's cruel stomach ache returned from its brief vacation in hell, wreaking havoc on the supposedly good Christmas afternoon.
He had been half asleep whilst watching the movies and cuddling, but the burning pain in his abdomen woke him right up. He whispered,
"Joonie?" Namjoon looked down to see Seokjin beside him with a pained expression."Hurts," Seokjin whispered in the weakest voice possible. Namjoon could only watch as Jin wrapped his arms around his own waist and curled up into a tight ball. Jin sniffled and, to Namjoon's surprise, tears began to fall down his cheeks.
"No, no no, hyung it's okay, don't cry," he assured him quietly, but still inevitably attracting the attention of the others, besides Jimin and Jungkook. They were both asleep whilst sprawled out on the floor.
Yoongi was shocked to see his hyung in this state. He moved over to sit beside Jin, his only hyung, and place a hand on his shirt. Jin could tell he was silently asking for permission to rub his stomach, so he nodded, whilst attempting to wipe his tears away.
The others watched this silent interaction sadly, as they hated to see Jin in pain. He whispered,
"Thank you Yoongi," before slowly falling asleep against the two rappers.Just before 3 in the afternoon, Taehyung arrived at the house, making a lot of noise when he opened the door and threw his bags aside. He entered the living room to see all six of his best friends curled up together, watching Home Alone.
"I'm back! I hope you didn't start anything without me!" He called to them.
There was no reply as every single one of them was asleep, and they weren't actually watching anything. Taehyung chuckled to himself upon seeing the position that Jungkook and Jimin were in.
He couldn't help but take a picture of them. Afterwards he sent the picture to the group chat and sat beside Hoseok on the empty space on the sofa. It would be a great surprise for them to wake up and see him.
A while later, Seokjin stirred quietly, eventually opening his eyes to see all six of the members surrounding him, just like he wanted. Taehyung was now asleep, meaning they were all unresponsive, but they were still the best gift Seokjin could wish for.
He would eat raw cookie dough every Christmas if he got to have this special moment every time.
So we hit 10k...
Thank you so much for 10,000 reads! I still can't believe how big of a number that is!
I started this book less than a year ago, and to already hit this many reads is majorly important to me.
What makes this celebration even more special is that today is my birthday, so thanks to all of your reads, votes and comments my birthday wish has come true!
It's quite magical, in a way, to hit 10k reads just as my birthday arrives. But I seriously can't thank you enough for this special gift you all have to me!
For those of you who want to know when the next sickfic is coming, I'll be returning fully in January with a whole bunch of new fics! Stay tuned for those!
Again, (probably for the 100th time lmao) thank you all for making this happen, and I'll see you soon with another fic!
💜💜
