🩹💖Fever- Shotaro

Request bye-kpop-multi

Shotaro felt his clothes stick to him due to his skin being coated with a layer of sweat. He had felt excessively warm all day, his skin sweaty and clammy even after he showered. His body was aching, and something just felt wrong since he woke up.

Even though he felt kinda off he couldn't take the day off, today was NCT 2021's comeback stage. It was a super important performance, all the members performing their new songs that they had been working hard on for months.

He groggily got up and got dressed brushing his teeth and hair and joining the members in the kitchen.

He really didn't have an appetite but taeyong had insisted he eat before the show since they would be performing for several hours.

Shotaro quietly ate his breakfast feeling his meal sit uncomfortably in his stomach. He was still sweaty and hot and now his head was starting to ache.

Once the members had finished eating, they all got ready to the venue for their comeback stage. They loaded up the vans and headed to the stage.

Shotaro really didn't feel good. His head was pounding by now, his skin sticky and slick with sweat, his stomach aching and all his limbs screaming in pain.

He layed his head against the window and closed his eyes trying to sleep off whatever this discomfort was before the show.

He felt his shoulder being shaken and he peeled his eyes open seeing doyoung above him.

"Shotaro, hey bud we're here."

He blinked the sleep out of his eyes and unbuckled his belt slowly stepping out of the van and following the members into the venue.

His legs felt shaky and weak as he walked, the sweet relief of sleep ending far sooner than he wanted.

"okay, all units to your respective dressing rooms, mark make sure you exit stage ten seconds early to get to the next one okay? We go on in fifteen." The stage manager told them as they were lead to the back hall where the dressing rooms were.

Taeyong wished all the boys good luck before they broke apart into their units and headed to the dressing rooms.

Shotaro sat down in the chair to get his makeup done, his skin pale, his cheeks flushed.

The woman began blotting foundation on him, but his sweat was causing it to crease and become cakey.

"Shotaro? Are you too warm?" she asked kindly seeing his sweat.

"no noona, I'm okay." He lied.

"you're sweating so much, maybe just take off your jacket for now."

She helped him remove his jacket and hang it on the back of his chair before she gently blotted his skin with a cloth.

"are you doing okay today Shotaro?"

He nodded feeling awkward with her asking so many questions.

"you look a little ill Shotaro, you're really pale, your cheeks are flushed and your sweaty."

"I'm fine noona, please hurry we only have ten minutes." He said trying to get her to drop the subject.

She sighed feeling worried for the boy but continued to do her job making him look as good as she could given his condition.

When she finished Shotaro slowly got out of the chair fighting a wave of dizziness.

"Shotaro, before you go drink some water." She handed him a water bottle from her bag.
