Sniffles🌡️

Sickie: Bang Chan

Caregiver: Stray Kids (mostly Felix)

Changbin's POV.:
3racha was currently sitting in Chan's studio producing new songs for our next comeback. Chan sat in front of the computer, showing us his latest tracks but somehow today didn't seem to be his day. He was constantly searching for the folders he had saved his work in but seemed to get lost in the depths of his memory card. I look over at Jisung, trying to catch his eye but he was too focused on the computer screen. Picking up my phone, I opened a chat to text Jisung:

B = Binnie; J = Jisung

B: Does Chan seem off to you too?

J: Define „off"

B: I don't know, maybe he has a headache, he's squinting at the screen and he's usually a lot more oriented searching for files.

J: He probably slept too little again, leave him be.

And with that I did but I couldn't help but have a bad feeling in my gut. Half an hour later, we decided to take a break and go get lunch. For lunch we decided to get some spicy noodles from a place close to the company building. We ordered take out and went back to the studio, why all of us had gone out to pick our food up, considering we went back to the studio to eat, was a mystery to me but I was thankful for getting up and moving after just sitting there for hours. I made a lucky pick, my meal was really delicious though I had no idea what to expect when I ordered it. While we ate, Jisung and I discussed where we should get our lunch on occasions like this, I personally was already in love with this new noodle restaurant, Jisung on the other hand preferred getting pancakes. It soon ended up with the two of us bickering and teasing each other for our food choices. Chan however didn't join our conversation, neither did he really eat. After the first two bites he had started to sneeze frequently, complaining how the spices made his nose tingle. It was kind of funny so Jisung and I soon started teasing him too. We finished our meal laughing, well, Jisung and I did. Chan just threw the rest of his noodles out before heading to the bathroom to blow his nose. While he was gone, Jisung spoke up: „I thought about what you said earlier. I think you're right, Chan's not really himself today. And what was that about? It's usually Minho sneezing from spicy food, not him." I wanted to reply but right then Chan came back in so I just shot Jisung a meaning full look before getting back to work.

It wasn't the same as this morning however, Jisung and I were more focused on studying our leader in an attempt to read him and figure out what was up today. Chan wasn't as focused on the computer in front of him either, he kept sniffling and rubbing at his nose with the cuff of his sleeve. Two hours later we accepted defeat, agreeing that we hit a block and wouldn't get any further today. Chan would have to leave in thirty minutes anyways to meet with some of our managers so we saved our files and packed up. Right as we were about to go on our different ways I stopped Chan for a moment: „Hyung, are you sure you're alright? You seemed a bit off to day and it's not like you to react to spicy food the way you did." – „I'm fine, Binnie." – „You're sure you're not sick?", Jisung piped in pretty straight forward. „Just caught a bit of the sniffles, Sungie. I'm alright. Anyways, I need to get going, meet you later at the dorm.", and with that Chan was gone.

Turning to me Jisung frowned: „What does he mean? What are the sniffles?" I had no idea so I just shrugged: „Let's asked Felix when we get back, that's certainly some kind of slang they use." So we made our way to the dorm, both on our phones as our internet research of the sniffles didn't turn up anything.

Felix's POV.:
I was in my room playing video games. Since most members were gone and it was only me and Minho home, I was pretty surprised when Jisung came in. Weren't they supposed to be back later or did I lose track of time again? I always do when I play. „Hey Lixxie, what are the sniffles?" Now I was completely caught off guard, what was he talking about? „Where did you here that?", I questioned. „Chan-hyung was acting off all day and when we asked what was up with him he said he just caught a bit of the sniffles.", he explained. „Ah, he means he just has a runny nose.", I explain furrowing my brows. „But.... That's a lie. I'm pretty sure it's more than that", Jisung looked at me utterly confused. „Well, duh, of course it is. We're talking about Chan. If he admits that much, it's probably a bad cold, otherwise he wouldn't even mention it.", I frown, was hyung sick? We left my bedroom and met Changbin and Minho in the living room. We sat down around the coffee-table and discussed our next steps. Our leader was always taking care of us so well, so we wanted to do the same for him, if our conclusion was correct.
