"oh shit. that's way too high changkyun." kihyun cursed under his breath, after he measured the temperature of the youngest.
"you always tell me off, when i curse." changkyun weakly chuckled next to him.
"shh.. you need to rest, changkyun. i mean it." kihyun softly whispered to him.
"i can't, hyung. i can't fall asleep. it hurts too much and it's so hot. don't you feel it too?" the younger asked and by now he probably wasn't even aware of what he even said himself. even though he couldn't fall asleep, it was so obvious he was exhausted. kihyun hated seeing him like this.
"i know, baby, i know. just.. wait up." kihyun said and stood up, disappeared in the bathroom afterwards and came back with a wet towel in his hands. "come here." he continued as hr came back and sat down at the very back of the bed, his back leaning against the wall behind him. the younger looked at him a bit confused at first, but after kihyun patted the empty space beside him, he understood and did what he was told, crawling over the bed and next to his hyung.
"lay down. put your head down." changkyun did that too and laid down, his head resting on kihyun's lap who put the cool, wet towel on top of the younger's forehead to hopefully cool down his temperature even just a little bit. then he lifted his hand and started gently stroking the maknae's hair as an act to calm him down and eventually to help him fall asleep.
"hyung.. i'm sweating. my hair's soaked in sweat, that's disgusting. don't touch it."
"i don't care. now try and relax, okay? are you feeling dizzy?"
"no."
"okay, that's good. we would've had to go to the doctors if you were. i know how much you hate it."
"mh." silence took over for a few moments until changkyun decided to continue talking. "what about the others, hyung?" he silently asked.
"they are probably still at the restaurant right now. i think wonho, hyungwon and minhyuk went to the cinema." kihyun answered looking down at the maknae, smiling slightly. some more time passed with them just talking.
"i feel a lot better already, hyung. thank you for coming." changkyun looked up at the older again.
"always, kyun. i'm glad you're feeling a bit better. i think your temperature cooled down by now as well. i need to wet the towel again, wait here." kihyun said as he helped the maknae sit up.
"here." he gave changkyun a glass of water and one painkiller after preparing some of the medicine for changkyun to drink for his throat. the younger took the pill, drinking the water before he gave it back to kihyun, who drank the rest of it. then he sat down again, his back once again leaning against the wall behind them and with changkyun's head resting in his lap.
"hyung, are you okay? you seem exhausted." changkyun suddenly asked, his voice filled with guilt again.
"i'm okay, kyun. you better worry about yourself now." kihyun said.
"are you sure? what happened during the meeting? is there something i should know about?"
"oh, kyunnie.. the only thing you should do right now is sleep, you're tired. you need rest."
"hyung-." he refused.
"fine. i'll tell you about it, okay?" kihyun looked down, just to be met with a sleepy smile. he only decided to talk about that now because he knew exactly that changkyun would fall asleep while listening to the older. and indeed, he did. it didn't even take more than ten minutes.
