-----

it was a fairly normal day for the maknae of stray kids, other than the fact that it was the hottest day of the year so far. unfortunately they still had to work and most of the members were doing their own schedules, he had recorded in the morning with seungmin, then done dance practice before lunch with minho and felix before going out and getting lunch on his own, and now he was back in the dorms in his room, trying to come up with some lyrics to help chan out since the leader had been pushing himself to write up a lot of new songs and jeongin had felt bad that he was doing it on his own.

the trouble was, lyrics didn't come naturally to him as they did to chan, so it took jeongin so much longer to write than everyone else, especially in the scorching heat, which wouldn't have been a problem if he had a long time to write, unfortunately for him chan wanted the lyrics before 5 pm so he could check it over, the time currently was 2.30 pm, so he didn't have as much time as he would have liked.

by the time it was 4.30, the maknae only had half a song written, but it was too late to do anymore as he had to go and give chan the lyrics.

as he was getting ready to leave, to say he was nervous was an understatement, he was absolutely terrified of how the leader would react to his half-finished song and tried to take his time walking to the studio, but he knew the time to face chan would come eventually, there was no avoiding it

unfortunately because he was walking so slowly it meant he had more time with the sun beating down onto him and the walk to the studio wasn't exactly a short walk either

as he arrived at the studio he suddenly felt exhausted and his heart was racing, he had developed a headache and could barely see in front of him because his vision had blurred. he took a moment to lean again the wall outside of chan's studio before his vision somewhat came back.he knocked on chan's studio door and heard "come in innie" from inside, he took a deep breath and opened the door

"hey do you....what's wrong?" chan asked, getting up from his seat. he could clearly see his maknae was struggling, he noticed jeongin's eyes struggling to stay open and how confused the boy looked

"i..." before jeongin could finish, his vision went black and he fell to the floor

"INNIE!" the leader shouted, running over to the poor boy and feeling for his temperature. as expected the boy was absolutely boiling. jeongin groaned before opening his sticky eyes and letting out a quiet whimper

"oh my god, are you okay innie" chan asked panicky, helping jeongin sit up slightly

"my...face" jeongin said clutching it, the side of his face was in agony from smacking it against the wooden floor

"okay, is that it?" the leader asked, checking the younger over, making sure there weren't any other injuries

"yeah" he said, not trusting himself enough to speak more incase he started crying

"alright, here have some water" the leader said helping the younger take small sips from his water bottle which had been sitting in his fridge for most of the day "do you think you need to go to the hospital or do you think you're fine?"

"i..think i'm f-fine" the younger replied, feeling bad and not wanting to cause chan any more inconvenience than he had already

"right, you should at least stay here with me so that i can keep an eye on you, make sure you keep drinking that water okay" chan said, not really giving the boy any other option before helping him onto his small sofa and placing the drink on the table next to him

"okay"

to say jeongin felt bad was an understatement, he had wanted to help chan out and relieve his stress, but here he was, led on chan's sofa, his head pounding with an even more stressed chan staring at him. everything was just to much for the poor maknae, who then burst out crying.

"innie, it's okay baby!" chan said, hugging him the best he could with the position jeongin was in

but that action only made jeongin cry more, the guilt fully consuming his mind.

"innie, tell me what's wrong" chan said, soothingly, still hugging the younger

"i-..i" jeongin tried to explain but the words wouldn't come out

"shhh it's okay, take your time"

"i..wanted to help.." jeongin started to say

"awh, it's okay, you were ill and-"

"i wasn't...i wasn't ill before that i just...couldn't think of any lyrics....so i walked slowly to get here and maybe i was in the sun to long...now i'm just wasting your time!" jeongin burst into tears once again

he waited for chan to scold him or tell him off, but he didn't. instead chan hugged the boy harder

"oh innie" he said sympathetically "i think you have heat stroke baby, you're showing all the symptoms of heat stroke we need to go to the hospital okay"

jeongin quickly shook his head, not wanting to use up any more of chan's time, but chan chuckled and helped the younger to his feet

"it's okay. i'm finished now, see?" he stood and turned his computer so that jeongin could see the finished lyrics "let's go okay, i don't want this to get any worse"
