Christmas Shopping🌡️

Sickie: Hyunjin

Caregiver: Chan and Jisung

Hyunjin's POV.:
I woke up hot and sweaty this morning, my sheets stuck to my back and my head started pounding when I sat up. For some reason, I was the last to wake up. We had no official schedule for today so we had planned to go Christmas shopping as a group. I already had most of my presents wrapped and hidden underneath my bed but I still had to find something for Minho and Jeongin. Joining my group for breakfast, I decided to just have some fruit as I didn't really have an appetite but knew I couldn't just skip breakfast. My members were discussing loudly which stores they wanted to visit but I didn't really care because I didn't even have an idea what I wanted to buy. I was only planning to look around and wait for something to catch my eye. Watching the others get overly excited for their shopping trip, I put my plate in the sink and went to get ready. Somehow the excitement failed to grasp me as it usually did and I would have preferred to stay home but I couldn't let them down in the last minute just because I wasn't in the mood. I must have been deep in thought while brushing my teeth because I hit a spot too far back which made me gag, startling me. I tried to bring my focus back to what I was doing but my brain was fuzzy and I kept losing my trains of thought. I walked back to my room and picked out some very thick and warm clothes. In contrast to how I woke up, I felt freezing now and the goosebumps just didn't go away. I shivered as I took my pajama off and tried to get my jeans and hoodie on as fast as possible. While I pulled the hoodie over my head, a dizzy spell hit me, forcing me to sit down on my bed as I waited for the ringing in my ears to pass.

Dressed in a few more layers then originally planned, I met my members at the door ready to head out. Chan had called for a driver that'd take us to the mall and we all piled into the vehicle. The ride seemed to take forever and I rested my aching head against the window. The headache I had woken up with only seemed to be getting worse and I was glad I hadn't tied up my hair as the pull of an elastic would only increase the pain. I must have been too quiet because I felt a nudge against my knee, looking up to meet Seungmin's smile. Smiling back quietly, I opted for resting my head on his shoulder instead of the window. "Everything ok?", he whispered, running a hand through my long hair. "Mhm, just not completely awake yet and my head hurts a bit", I hummed, leaning further into him as he kept petting my hair. I didn't remember the route to the mall to be this curvy but I soon needed to pick up my head from Seungmin's shoulder to look out of the window in an attempt to keep my stomach in place. Usually I didn't get motion sick but I guess combined with the headache, the streets didn't do me well. Seungmin watched me confused but I reassured him with a smile that everything was fine.

It wasn't, however. I had expected for the nausea to fade after leaving the car and for a while it did. Not fully though, instead it settled into a dull, constant ache. We were walking around together and I really only tagged along, following my members wherever they wanted to go. I was to tired to object and with the pain in my head and stomach, I also didn't want to go anywhere but home. Of course, I didn't speak up though. We haven't even been here that long and everyone had been looking forward to this trip, so who was I to kill the mood. Not being able to agree on which stores to visit, we soon split up into smaller groups, me joining Chan and Jisung. They mostly wanted to visit different music stores and I didn't mind. Replying that I didn't care every time they asked me where I wanted to go, the two kept exchanging suspicious glances, not commenting though. I was practically asleep on my feet and it took Chan three attempts at calling my name to catch my attention. "Sorry, kinda spaced out", I replied, scratching my head awkwardly. "You're acting weirder than usual and already have all morning", Jisung frowned, trying to cover his concern with a tease. Chan agreed and seeing the sympathetic look on his face, I couldn't keep quiet anymore. "Sorry, I woke up with a bit of a headache and it only got worse. Now my stomach also started hurting and I feel weird", I mumbled, trying to keep of crying as admitting to my symptoms only made me notice them more. Chan frowned and guided me to sit on a bench nearby. Jisung sat down next to me wrapping his arms around me comfortingly as I broke into tears. "I-I didn't w-want to ruin t-this trip because everyone was l-looking forward to it s-so much and n-now I did a-anyways", I hiccuped, bringing my hands up to my face to wipe the tears that just wouldn't stop falling. "You didn't ruin anything, you really could've told us you weren't feeling alright and you could've stayed home", Chan sighed as Jisung handed me a tissue. "Wasn't s-so bad earlier", I whimpered almost too quiet to be heard. Crouching in front of me, Chan squeezed my knee and promised he'd go get some water, while Jisung would sit with me.
