after kihyun put down his bag in front of the door of his and hyungwon's room, next to changkyun's room, he approached the younger's door, holding his ear against it, listening for any sounds. kihyun could hear the younger's coughing very loudly, he could literally feel the pain changkyun must've felt in his throat from only the few sounds he heard. it sounded so bad. after that, just as he was about to lift his hand to knock on the door, he heard something rattle. like a bottle of..
"painkillers..." kihyun sighed against the door. he felt so sorry that he couldn't do anything for the younger. he just wanted to be there for him. so instead, he didn't think much longer before he knocked on the door.
"kyun? it's me. can i come in?" he heard slow, sloppy footsteps approaching the door and not long after, the unlock of the door was heard and kihyun entered. changkyun was walking towards the big bed in the room, patting the place next to him to show the older that he should sit down too. kihyun did just that and inspected the younger once again before starting a conversation.
"how are you, kyunnie?"
"my throat hurts so bad, hyung. i keep on coughing and it just hurts so much. my headache got worse too and all the painkillers are just not helping."
"all the painkillers? kyun, baby, how many did you take already?" kihyun asked.
"maybe about five..?" changkyun shyly answered. he knew that he shouldn't take this many, kihyun always warns him when it comes to that and he felt bad for not listening.
"changkyun.. that's too many. it can become dangerous, you know? i know that i told you plenty of times already." changkyun felt even worse.
"i know, i'm sorry hyung.. but i- it just hurts so much."
"i know baby. i know, but you see? they don't help any better, even if you take lots of them. just try and reduce taking them, okay? i can look for some stronger ones. i think i took some with me. but you can not take as many of these, alright? they're way stronger than the ones you're taking right now." kihyun explained and smiled calmly, when he saw the other's apologetic smile.
"thank you, hyung. i'll listen to you, i promise. but, um.. can you stay with me a little longer?" changkyun's smile faded again, he looked like he felt guilty somehow and kihyun noticed right away.
"of course, kyunnie. but what is it? hm? smile for me." kihyun said, looking down at the younger after pulling him into a warm hug.
"i just- i don't want you to get sick. it's possible that you could get infected. i mean- maybe it's better if you leave. go out with hyungs or something.." changkyun sounded so sad saying that. he just wanted to protect his hyung from getting sick too. he didn't want any of them feel like he does at the moment and it broke the older.
"hey, look at me. i don't care if i get sick. we don't have that many schedules over the next few days and you know that i rarely get sick anyways, right?" kihyun tried comforting him.
"yeah, but still-"
"no buts. i'll stay with you, changkyun. don't even try to get me to leave. you won't succeed." the older cut him off. changkyun just chuckled at his cuteness, appreciating kihyun's presence. he needed someone right now because otherwise, if he was alone now, he'd just feel even more miserable than he already does. like that, they made it themselves comfortable in the bed, laid down and ended up talking, a lotand cuddling. eventually, changkyun found himself drifting off to sleep, his head resting on the other's chest, while he was listening to the stories kihyun told him while gently stroking back his hair.
