Stray Kids Little Space Imagines

Accident- Minin

Little! Jeongin
Caregiver! Minho (feat. Hyunjin)

(TW: Blood, just mentioned slightly but I wanted to let everyone know!)

All morning Jeongin had been feeling off. As soon as he woke up he could feel that familiar fuzziness in his head that he felt when he wanted to slip, but the members had a long schedule that day and he knew he wouldn't have the time.
Currently all of the boys were getting their makeup and hair done for their concert and it was around that time when some of the other members started noticing how off Jeongin was acting.
"Hey, is everything okay with Jeongin?" Chan asked Hyunjin who was getting ready right next to him. At the question Hyunjin looked up, looked over at the younger, and then finally back at Chan before shrugging his shoulders.
"I'm not sure," he answered honestly, "he has been kind of acting weird today though. Do you want me to go talk to him?" Before he was finished Chan was shaking his head.
"Don't worry about it, I'll go see what's up."
Luckily the two finished getting ready around the same time, so when he noticed the younger start to get up and walk away he quickly moved his way over to him. As he walked up to Jeongin he put his hand on his shoulder, which surprised the younger boy making him flinch. This reaction took Chan by surprised, Jeongin was never one to be that jumpy.
"Is everything okay? You've been acting kind of quiet today." Chan asked the younger with as gentle of a voice as possible.
Jeongin shook his head in response, "I'm just tried," he answered, "I didn't get much sleep last night." Technically the younger wasn't lying. He had been having a headache since last night, which made it hard to finally get to bed and most likely contributed to the fuzziness he was feeling this morning. Chan was one of his main caregivers so just the caring way he was making sure the younger was okay was making Jeongin feel even closer to slipping. Just the thought almost made him let out a soft whine, but he held it back before he could. He really wanted to do well today at the concert and didn't want to let the others down.
He could tell Chan wasn't quite convinced at the response, but was thankful he decided not to try and pry more answers out of him. Instead he just patted the younger on the shoulder and gently reassured him, "if you aren't feeling well or need anything please don't hesitate to let me know." Chan knew his words were probably being said to empty ears, knowing how stubborn his members could be, but he knew he had to at least try.
"I promise, Hyung."

     For the rest of the day things had been going pretty well. The youngest had made it through the practice run of the concert and through the first half of the actual live performance. The more time went on the more he started feeling the fuzziness go away and just be replaced with the excitement and adrenaline that comes with performing in front of Stay. This concert in particular the crowd was cheering really loud which just helped the boys produce more and more energy. Although, as energy and excitement increases so do the little mistakes.
     They were currently performing one of their last few songs for the night, and they were just getting to the end part when all of a sudden Jeongin lands wrong and sends himself face first onto the stage. Usually when they fall or make a mistake on stage they just get right back up, but Jeongin had fallen really hard and the pain made him immediately regress. Unfortunately, since he was in the back none of the other boys had noticed him fall at first. It took until they noticed Stays begin to panic and point at the stage for them to look back and see Jeongin still very much on the ground holding onto his face.
    Minho was the closest to him so he raced over and start gently looking over the boy to see where he was hurt. He tried asking him what hurt but he had put down his mic to give them some privacy and over the screaming crowd he didn't think the younger could hear him.
     He gently removed his hands from his faces and gasped at the sight. His face was covered in blood pouring from his nose. To not panic everyone, especially Stay, he put Jeongin's hands back where they were to cover the blood and leaned down to talk into his ear so he could hear him, "it'll be okay, baby. Just keep your hands there for now."
     Minho stood up and looked at the others who were crowded around at this point. He walked up to Chan and told him what was happening and that he was going to take Jeongin backstage. Chan nodded in return and turned to tell the other members as well.
     Minho could just barely make out Chan talking to Stay and telling them what happened as he moved to helped Jeongin up. Just wanting to be off the stage, thankfully Minho didn't have much trouble helping the younger up and guiding him backstage. Although, as soon as they were in a more quiet place and Jeongin broke down and flung himself at the older just wanting some comfort. Minho shushed him to try and calm him down as he flagged one of the medics on hand to come and help them. He guided the youngest to a chair, but he refused to let go of Minho. With a sigh the older sat down and softly brought Jeongin down onto his lap.
     All hell broke loose though when the medic tried to look closer at his nose. Jeongin began panicking and screaming trying to get away, pushing at the medic with quite a lot of force. Minho was shocked at the sudden reaction, but not that surprised. He knew big Jeongin hated doctors so it didn't really surprise him that little Jeongin would share that fear.
     Just to get him under control Minho had to hold down the little's arms and hold him down just to try and keep him still.
     "It's okay, baby. He's just going to take a quit look. He trying to help you feel better." Minho tried to communicate to the little but was drowned out by the still screaming little. Not having enough hands, he wasn't able to hold his arms down and keep his head still to let the medic help him. Minho was beyond grateful when he saw Hyunjin make an appearance, clearly having come to check on the two.
     Seeing the commotion, he only hesitated a little before running up to the duo. Hyunjin softly grabbed the little's head to keep it still and began stroking his hair knowing that it helps calm the little. Fortunately, this began to work and after a little while the screaming stopping and the little was now just sobbing quietly. Minho looked up to Hyunjin and gave him a soft smile in thanks in which he got a small smile in return.
     All of the screaming and fighting had tired the little out, so now the medic was able to easily begin to take a look at his nose. He had to first clean up the blood that was on his face, just so he could properly see the extent of the injury.
    It was silent for a while while he worked until he finally spoke up breaking the deafening silence, "it doesn't look like it's broken, so I'm just going to tape it up. It's probably going to bruise a lot, but if he's still complaining about pain in a few days then you should take him to the doctor."
     Both of the boys nodded along taking in all of the information, both more than glad that nothing was broken.
      The medic had taped up his nose and Jeongin was now laying down on Minho's lap. His tears had stopped so now he was just softly hiccuping everyone once in a while. Hyunjin had gone back to stage to finish out the concert, but Minho decided Jeongin needed him and just missing a few songs wouldn't hurt anybody.
     Minho was softly stroking the younger's hair thinking he had fallen asleep after a while. He jumped a little when Jeongin spoke, "Minnie!"
      "Yes, baby?"
     "Nose hurts" Jeongin answered quietly. Whimpering as he moved to touch his now bandaged nose.
      Minho cooed in response, gently grabbing the younger's hand to bring to away from his face. "Don't touch it, baby. You don't want to hurt it worse." Jeongin just whined in return turning his head to press it up even more against the older's chest, well as much as he could without hurting his injury.
     He just shushed him and began rocking him to help calm him. He wishes more than anything he could take the pain away from the little, but he knew comforting him and helping him feel as comfortable as possible was the best he could do.
     Jeongin then suddenly moved quickly to begin sitting up and looked at the older. "Concert?" He simply asked, not really in the mood and feeling too small to talk more.
      Thankfully Minho understood what he meant, "It's almost over now so we're just going to stay back here til it's over. Then we can go home. How does that sound baby?"
      "But Stay?"
      "Stay doesn't mind. They just want you to feel better just like me and the rest of the members. I promise, baby it's okay."
      Jeongin just nodded in response and laid back down to where he was to begin with, too tried to protest more.
     For the rest of the concert the two just cuddled in the back waiting for the rest to be finished for the night. When the others got done they all raced back stage and began cuddling up to the little asking how his was feeling and what he needed. As sad as he was that he missed the rest of the concert and still in pain from his injury, Jeongin was just giggling, secretly loving all of the attention he was getting because of it. Maybe getting hurt wouldn't be as bad as he thought.
