Ateez - Flu - Part 6
It was noon by the time Seonghwa returned with Yunho in tow. Hongjoong popped his head out of his bedroom, dismayed to find his dongsaeng still flushed with fever but took solace in the fact that the glaze in his eyes had lightened up since the prior day.
“He’s doing a lot better, Joong” Seonghwa reassured upon noticing the concern on Hongjoong’s face as Hongjoong joined him in the living room. “His temperature is down and he has some meds to keep it that way, but they said the fever won’t break for another few days. The meds have been knocking him out straight away though so that’s something.”
Yunho groaned at the reminder, the fever taking its toll on him and his brain feeling scrambled and groggy from his medication.
“I’ll put him to bed” Seonghwa said as he wrapped an arm around Yunho’s shoulder. “Can you grab him a bottle of water?”
Hongjoong made it to the kitchen before his vision blurred, a reminder of the illness that was setting in with no regard for the fact he had sick kids to take care of. He took a few moments to collect himself, letting the dizzy spell pass for the time being.
Once Yunho was settled in Seonghwa and Hongjoong collapsed on the couch, both clearly exhausted.
“Did you sleep last night?” Hongjoong broke the silence, already knowing the answer.
Seonghwa shook his head as he rubbed his eyes harshly. “His nurse wanted me to go home for the night but I didn’t want him to wake up alone.” Hongjoong nodded in understanding at that. He would have done the same thing. “I tried to sleep in the chair but I couldn’t get comfortable. How about you? How are Mingi and Wooyoung doing?”
Hongjoong sighed before responding. “Mingi is Mingi. He wants nothing to do with anybody right now. I’ve been forcing tablets and water into him. He’s not very happy with me right now. And Wooyoung…” his voice trailed off for a moment before continuing. “I tried to get him to sleep in San’s bed and have San stay with Yeo and Jongho but he ended up in bed with me.”
Seonghwa glared at him with disapproval. Hongjoong knew that Seonghwa was concerned about him coming down with the flu too, but Seonghwa also had no idea that that ship had already sailed.
“Don’t look at me that way, Hwa. Please.” Hongjoong said defensively. “It was either that or stay up with him all night while he cried. This flu is no joke.”
Seonghwa rolled his eyes, the tension in the room building by the moment. “Yeah, I’m fully aware, believe it or not, after spending the night in the fucking hospital with Yunho teetering on the edge of what could have been a dangerous fever. But thank you for the reminder.”
Even in his current state Hongjoong could sense that this interaction was devolving into something that he didn’t have the capacity to deal with at the moment. “You’re right, I’m sorry. You need to get some sleep now though.”
“Shit…no, I’m sorry. I’m not trying to pick a fight…I’m just…yeah I need sleep” Seonghwa quickly agreed. “Please wake me up if you need me though” he added as he trudged off to bed.
*~*~*~*~*~
The sound of the front door opening startled San awake. Seonghwa had his hands full with Yunho and didn’t even seem to notice San, who had taken up residence on the couch.
Wooyoung had kept San and Hongjoong up for the better part of the night and into the early hours of the morning as his fever spiked and the body aches set in. Hongjoong had finally gotten him settled into San’s bed, hoping that keeping Yunho and Wooyoung together and Mingi isolated in his own room would prevent further spread but, by the time Hongjoong carried Wooyoung off to his shared room with Seonghwa, San wasn’t sure where he should sleep. His own room was out of the question, his bedding damp from Wooyoung’s sweat and tears, and he wasn’t sure when Yunho would be coming home and in need of his own bed.
He briefly considered Wooyoung’s bed before pausing. Yeosang and Jongho were the only members that hadn’t been exposed to the flu yet and San had spent the day with Wooyoung. Not wanting to risk it, San made his way to the couch before collapsing into a deep sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~
San quickly sat up and vacated the couch, his mind still hazy with sleep, catching Seonghwa’s attention as he emerged from Yunho’s room.
“Hey, I’m sorry to wake you, Sannie” Seonghwa said with an exhausted smile as he closed the door behind him. “You look tired. There’s no schedules today, why don’t you get a little more sleep?”
San shrugged in response. “I was napping with Wooyoung when he woke up feeling sick so…I can help you and Hongjoong-hyung since I’ve already been exposed.” San immediately regretted mentioning that to Seonghwa as concern crossed his hyung’s face. He immediately spoke up again, hoping to put Seonghwa at ease. “I’m feeling totally fine, don’t worry!”
It seemed to be enough to placate Seonghwa for the time being. “Well please tell me if you start feeling sick, okay?” San nodded quickly in response before Seonghwa continued. “I hate to ask you, but would you mind going out to the store to get a box of popsicles? Yunho was asking for one on the way home and I gave him Yeosang’s last one yesterday but if it will keep him cool and hydrated…” The speed with which Seonghwa was speaking continued to increase until San interjected.
“What puppy wants, puppy gets” San said with a reassuring smile, grabbing his wallet and heading for the door.
*~*~*~*~*~
“Mingi, let me in please” Hongjoong hissed through Mingi’s door, not wanting to wake any of the sleeping members.
He was about to knock again when he felt a vibration coming from his pocket. Hongjoong rolled his eyes as he opened the text from Mingi:
“Let me sleep.”
Hongjoong was about to protest when he received a second message. A picture of an empty bottle of water with a mostly full bottle next to it.
“At least let me check your…” he was once more cut off, this time by a second picture of a thermometer reading 38.1°.
With that Hongjoong admitted defeat. “Please let me know if you need anything.” After glancing into his own room and confirming that Seonghwa and Wooyoung were still both fast asleep and wrapping an ice pack around the back of Yunho’s hand where the IV needle had been inserted in hopes that it would dull the pain that he was complaining of, Hongjoong stepped into the washroom, locking the door behind him. It took a moment of shuffling to find another thermometer in the medicine cabinet but upon locating it behind a box of bandages he popped it under his tongue. He cringed at the quick beeps that signaled a fever before he could even look at the reading. It wasn’t as if he didn’t already know that he was feverish and he was fully aware that sleeping in close proximity to his own personal little space heater, Wooyoung, hadn’t helped at all, but he hadn’t expected his temperature to be 38.5°.
A cough coming from Yunho’s room quickly drew him back to reality. Knowing it was only a matter of time until he was needed again, he quickly swallowed a few of the fever reducers that he had left on the vanity that morning and turned on the shower, opting to take a fast lukewarm shower in hopes that it would get his fever down enough to continue with his day relatively uninterrupted.
If there was anything that Hongjoong was acutely aware of, however, was that no aspect of his life was ever uninterrupted, and a quiet knock on the door reminded him that this situation was no different.
“I’m just getting out of the shower” Hongjoong responded with a sigh as he turned the water off, doing his best to hide the way his teeth were chattering.
“Hyung” the knocking continued as Yeosang’s voice called to him from the other side of the door.
“Yeosang, please give me five minutes” Hongjoong sighed, doing his best to control his temper. Of course he loved Yeosang, but knowing him he’d be asking where the cereal was or confirming tomorrow’s schedule despite Hongjoong having reviewed it twice with him the day prior.
“Hyung, it’s important…its…”
Hongjoong had had enough. Hastily wrapping a towel around his waist, he swung the door open, prepared to lay into Yeosang about respecting one another’s space and about actually listening to what other people were saying. But those thoughts melted away as he found Yeosang awkwardly holding up San as San awkwardly held up a box of popsicles.
“What puppy wants…” San started before interrupted momentarily with a cough. “…puppy gets” he finished, quickly swinging his arm around to hand Yunho’s popsicles to Hongjoong before leaning a little more heavily into Yeosang.
“Sorry, I’m just a little dizzy all of a…” but before San could finish, his eyes rolled back as the rest of his body weight sunk into Yeosang’s arms.
It took a moment for Hongjoong’s fever-addled brain to comprehend what had happened. And even when he realized that San had fainted, it still took his mind another moment to move on from the first and only thought to cross his mind:
Oh. Fuck.

⏳️🦊 My Aurora
Sickie: Wooyoung
Caretaker: Hongjoong (and Yeosang)
„Hwa, turn off that god-awful alarm before I shoot myself”, Hongjoong growled into his pillow. As far as he was concerned it was too early and he needed sleep. Badly. It might be his own fault for sleeping like eight hours in total over the span of 48 hours but he was allowed to hate early morning schedules.
“Good morning to you too, Joongie”, Seonghwa answered with a slight laugh. He sounded way to awake and chipper for this time of day. Bastard. At least he turned off the alarm. Small mercies.
But instead of letting Hongjoong sleep, he got up from his bed to peer over the side of Hongjoong’s upper bunk. “Uh-oh, no sleeping”, Seonghwa said and pulled off the blanket to expose Hongjoong to the cold air.
“Meanie”, Hongjoong pouted and yawned.
Seonghwa laughed again. “I distinctly remember you telling me to make you get up by any means necessary last night, no matter how much I beg”, he teased.
“My past self was an idiot. I’m older now, I know better now. And I don’t want to get up”, Hongjoong tried and moved to turn over, away from his annoying hyung. What right did he have to torture him? He was Seonghwa’s captain after all.
Seonghwa’s voice sounded way to gleeful. “I always wanted to do this.”
Before Hongjoong could wonder what he was about to do, Seonghwa had sprayed him with the water bottle he used to mist his succulent plants.
Hongjoong screeched and jolted upright, now wide awake.
“I hate you”, he muttered, wiping his face.
Seonghwa just grinned wider, looking unfairly put together in stark contrast to Hongjoong who probably looked like a mess with an impressive bedhead. He didn’t need a mirror, he knew he looked awful whenever he woke up.
“No, you don’t”, Seonghwa said, “now, do get up. I’ll make breakfast. You get ready, we have a long day ahead.”
“You’re telling me”, the captain grumbled but climbed down the ladder of his bunk.
⌛
Ten minutes later Hongjong was dressed and had sorted out the disaster that was his face and hair. When he stumbled into the kitchen he found Seonghwa at the stove making something, while Mingi and San were sitting next to each other at the table, leaning on each other and half-asleep. Yunho was standing next to the coffee maker, eyes closed.
“Morning”, Hongjoong greeted and received mumbled answers from his members that he wasn’t even sure were words. He could sympathise. Five o’clock was not a time to get up – especially if you only went to sleep at two o’clock.
As he sat down next to San, Yeosang and Jongho made their way into the kitchen, both of them cuddled close together and still in pyjamas. “Morning”, Jongho greeted and flopped onto San. Yeosang sat down next to Hongjoong and turned his attention to the leader.
“Wooyoung-yah is still asleep”, Yeosang explained their roommates absence, “I woke up tonight because he was moving around, said he had trouble sleeping. I let him sleep in my bed but when he didn’t wake up to our alarm I thought he might need more rest and he could maybe eat in the car?” He sounded unsure if he had done the right thing and worried about his best friend.
“That’s alright, Sang-ah, letting him sleep was a good idea”, Hongjoong praised, wanting to erase the uncertainness off his dongsaeng’s face. He knew how Yeosang often worried if he overstepped boundaries when he decided something – the reason why he mostly didn’t decide anything. “I’ll wake him after breakfast. Sleep is important.”
“I will make him something to go”, Seonghwa added.
⌛
Once breakfast was done Hongjoong and Yeosang went to the younger two’s room, so that Yeosang could grab his clothes and Hongjoong could work on waking up their second maknae.
Wooyoung was curled up on Yeosang’s bed, fast asleep. He was cuddling the pillow to his chest and like that Hongjoong was reminded just how young he was. While he often acted like a nuisance on cocaine on camera Wooyoung was a responsible and caring person. He had seen the awfulness of their industry. Hongjoong would be a liar if he said he wasn’t soft for these moments when his kids, as ATINY would say, seemed like actual kids.
Once Yeosang had left the room, Hongjoong knelt down next to Wooyoung, holding onto the ladder that went up to Wooyoung’s bunk for stability. He placed a hand on Wooyoung’s shoulder and shook it gently.
“Wake up, baby”, Hongjoong whispered, “you need to get ready for today’s photoshoot.”
Wooyoung groaned unhappily but blinked his eyes open. He stared up at Hongjoong for a moment before swiftly turning to the side. Just for a second Hongjoong was confused, then out of a sudden Wooyoung coughed and retched loudly before throwing up onto the floor beside Yeosang’s bed. Hongjoong jumped back in shock, hoping to protect his trousers and socks from the mess and, quite frankly in disgust. He had not anticipated Wooyoung puking first thing in the morning. After a second Hongjoong tried to step a bit closer so that he could rub Wooyoung’s back as the man cried and gagged.
“Oh, baby”, Hongjoong whispered, heart breaking for his sick dongsaeng who was trying so hard to catch his breath. “It’s okay, hyung has got you.”
Finally Wooyoung’s stomach seemed to be done and the younger rolled onto his back again. Tears were gathering in his eyes and trailed down his cheeks. Hongjoong could sympathize: He imagined waking up only to throw up seconds later without any warning was very unpleasant. Ignoring the soupy mess on the ground that resembled last nights dinner a bit too much, Hongjoong sat down on the bed next to Wooyoung’s hip and started stroking his sweaty hair away from his face.
“I’m so sorry, hyung”, Wooyoung whispered, eyes glazed over and sounding exhausted. There was embarrassment colouring his cheeks red.
“It’s okay, Wooyoung-yah, you couldn’t help it”, Hongjoong mumbled back, “is it okay if I call for help? You need to get cleaned up and your tiny old hyung won’t be much of a help, you’ve grown up so much.”
“Can it be Yeosangie-hyung, please?”, Wooyoung asked in a tiny voice. That had been Hongjoong’s plan all along anyways. Jongho, Yunho and Mingi needed to get ready, as did San, and he needed Seonghwa to keep an eye on the others. Besides, if this was a stomach bug then Yeosang had already been exposed – no need to risk getting everybody sick at the same time.
“Sang-ah, come here, please”, Hongjoong called and a moment later the door opened.
“Hyung … what? Oh”, Yeosang said dumbfounded. He quickly gathered himself and made his way over to his dongsaeng who was making grabby hands in his direction. It was cute even in this situation. Yeosang quickly obliged and crouched at the head of his bed, where he could be closest to Wooyoung without getting too close to the mess.
“Why didn’t you say last night that you felt sick?”, Yeosang asked gently.
“I didn’t feel sick then”, Wooyoung pouted.
“Threw up the moment he woke up”, Hongjoong provided, smiling to himself as he watched the interaction between his members. He really loved how they cared for each other like a real family. “Can you get him to the living room so we can get this cleaned up?”
“I’m really sorry”, Wooyoung whispered as he glanced down, paling instantly.
“It’s really okay, baby, you can’t help it”, Hongjoong soothed, “let me just get you a trash can and then you’re all set.”
He got up to get a bucket but then he spotted the room’s trash can. Good enough. It was filled halfway with empty energy drinks that Hongjoong unceremoniously dumped onto the floor.
“Hyung”, Yeosang complained as empty cans clattered onto the floor.
“I’ve been meaning to talk to you and Jongho-ah about your excessive consumption of energy drinks anyways. This is just the start”, Hongjoong explained and ignored the following whine in favour of raising his eyebrow at Wooyoung. The second maknae giggled. That was much better than the tears.
“You’re conspiring against us”, Yeosang moaned, understanding Hongjoong’s intention of distracting Wooyoung from his misery.
“File your complains here.” Hongjoong shrugged and pointed at the trash can.
“Hyung, you’re ridiculous”, Wooyoung teased weakly.
“Hyung has every right to complain. Hyung shares a room with Seonghwa. Hyung cleans under the bed three times a week, nothing more ridiculous than that”, Hongjoong said as he placed the bucket down next to Wooyoung.
“Don’t make me laugh, my stomach hurts”, Wooyoung complained, hugging the aching organ.
“Alright, let’s get back to it. Sang-ah, why don’t you get Wooyoung comfortable on the couch with his new best friend while I get medicine and a thermometer?”, Hongjoong said and Yeosang nodded eagerly.
“Up you get”, Hongjoong said and helped Yeosang sit Wooyoung up and then swing his legs over the side of the bed. The sick member’s breathing took on deeper patterns as he tried to stave off the nausea from being upright and Hongjoong was ready to reach over to the bucket if it was needed. Luckily Wooyoung was able to breathe through it.
“I’m dizzy”, he said and closed his eyes.
“Think you can walk or do you want hyung to get Yunho so he can help me carry you?”, Yeosang asked gently.
“Just give me a minute.”
Hongjoong and Yeosang exchanged worried glances. They had never seen Wooyoung this sick before – it was clear he couldn’t stay alone at the dorm, not that Hongjoong would have allowed that. They had an all day shooting of a video on their schedule – somebody who had lots of scenes with Wooyoung could stay back.
“I can go on”, Wooyoung said before Hongjoong was able to finish his thoughts.
“Okay, change of plans. We both help you to the living room”, Hongjoong said, not wanting to risk Wooyoung falling despite his deep trust in Yeosang. Some accidents couldn’t be avoided but he might help as a crutch anyway. Carefully Yeosang and Hongjoong helped him stand, the youngest’s legs shaky and barely able to hold his own weight. The captain reached down and handed Wooyoung the bucket which he cradled against his chest fearfully.
“We’ve got you, it’s okay”, Hongjoong soothed, “if you need to be sick again or feel even more dizzy or anything just tell us.”
Slowly they made their way around the puddle on the floor and out of the bedroom, with Yeosang and Hongjoong having wrapped one arm around Wooyoung’s waist each.
⌛
Yunho was sitting on the couch, fully dressed and sipping his coffee as they entered the living room and he looked up with confusion written plainly on his face.
“What’s going on?”, he asked confused, taking in the view. He clearly wasn’t awake enough yet to understand what was obvious.
“Wooyoung-ah is sick”, Hongjoong explained and quickly Yunho had abandoned his coffee on the TV table to open his arms for Wooyoung to cuddle in. The maknae plopped down onto the couch as soon as he was in reach but refused to lean into Yunho, still holding the bucket under his chin. He tugged at Yeosang’s hand to get the older to sit down with him and Yeosang, reliable friend he was, immediately complied and took his hand.
“You’re really not feeling good, huh?”, Yunho whispered and placed a warm hand on Wooyoung’s back. The younger man whimpered and swallowed harshly.
“I feel so sick”, Wooyoung groaned and burped wetly. Hongjoong winced and sighed. “If you need to be sick, Wooyoung-ah, let it…”
Before he could finish the sentence, Wooyoung lurched forward and buried his face in the bucket, loudly expelling his stomach contents. Yunho helplessly rubbed his back and Yeosang held back his hair from his forehead, steadying the bucket with the other hand.
Hongjoong could only watch, once again. He shuddered at the sound of liquid hitting the bucket and the loud coughing. It was a wonder nobody else had wandered into the living room yet to find out where the wretched sounds came from.
“Breathe”, Yeosang encouraged. Confident his dongsaengs had the situation under control, Hongjoong slipped away to gather the thermometer and some medication from the bathroom. On his way back, he nearly collided with Seonghwa who stared at him – or more exactly at the medication in his hand – with confusion, then worry.
“Hongjoong-ah, are you sick? What is going on?”, he asked frantically, mother henning as always.
“I’m fine, it’s…” Hongjoong was interrupted by the sounds of Wooyoung vomiting again and both of them winced. In the dorm there was no real privacy they had learned – as much as any of them tried to hide illnesses, they would be betrayed by the thin walls. And as the oldest hyungs they were very much aware how easily illnesses spread when everybody lived in each other’s pocket.
They both shuddered simultaneously at the memory of the stomach flu from last winter – it had started one day with Yunho and by the end of the next day only Hongjoong and Seonghwa were left standing (but also with buckets not too far away from them).
“Wooyoung?”, Seonghwa asked.
“Yeah.”
“What about the filming? We need to leave in like less than fifteen minutes”, Seonghwa said.
“I know.” Hongjoong sighed. “I want to know his temperature and then I will call a manager. One of us needs to stay back with him, there is no way he can stay alone. Either Yeosang, Yunho or I – we’ve already been exposed.”
“Who is sick”?, San asked from behind them, a frown on his face. He seemed to have been on his way to the bathroom whose door they were blocking.
“Somebody is sick?”, Mingi asked, popping his head out of his bedroom door.
“Wooyoung is … ah, no, Jongho-yah, don’t go in there”, Hongjoong warned, the younger man having also appeared behind San and reaching for his bedroom door.
“What’s wrong?”
“Wooyoung-ah threw up”, Hongjoong explained with a sigh. “Listen, guys, we need to get ready, okay? San-ah, I hate to ask this of you but could you clean the bedroom? You have the strongest stomach out of all of us present.”
“On it, captain”, San said with a salute, obviously trying to lighten the mood.
“Let’s go check on him. Mingi-yah, can Jongho borrow some of your clothes?”
“Sure.”
Seonghwa and Hongjoong entered the living room to find Wooyoung curled up on Yeosang’s lap, tears trailing down his cheeks. Yunho was sitting next to them, running a hand up and down the second maknae’s arm, the bucket in his reach for easy access.
“Wooyoung-yah, let me take your temperature, okay?”, Seonghwa said and knelt down in front of his dongsaeng. Wooyoung nodded and let his oldest hyung hold the thermometer up to his forehead. Frantic beeping quickly followed.
“Uh-oh, 38.6°C”, Seonghwa read with a frown, “that is really not good.”
“Do you think it’s a stomach bug?”, Yunho asked unhappily. “Did you feel sick too, last night?”
Wooyoung shrugged. “I wasn’t really hungry last night but we had a big lunch so I didn’t think much of it. I wasn’t really able to fall asleep tonight until Yeosang-hyung let me sleep with him. But I honestly thought it was a touch of insomnia.”
Yunho frowned. “We shared lunch yesterday and if you didn’t eat much dinner, I think we can rule out food poisoning.”
“Great”, Hongjoong groaned, “I’ll call the manager. Young-ah, you are in no condition for filming today.” He retreated to the kitchen for some privacy.
“Noona, we have a problem”, he said as the woman picked up, “Wooyoung-yah is sick. He’s thrown up a couple of times this morning and he’s running a temperature of 38.6°. He needs to stay home and somebody needs to stay with him.”
“Dammit”, the manager said, “yes, obviously he needs to stay home. We’ll have to do scenes without him today then. I think it’s best if … hm, Jongho-ah is probably not a good choice. Mingi-yah can stay with him then, they have a few scenes together.”
“Noona, I was actually hoping Yeosang-ah or I could stay back”, Hongjoong said honestly, “Mingi-yah has not been exposed yet and …”
“Yeosang-ah is not an option, he needs to film today. He won’t be able to attend tomorrow due to a schedule conflict. But I guess you can stay home. You have a few scenes with Wooyoung-yah too and your own shoots can be done when and wherever.”
“Thanks, noona.”
“Thank me with the others being punctual, Hongjoong-ah.”
⌛
Hongjoong found Yeosang and Wooyoung in mostly the same position with Yunho still sporting an unhappy frown. Seonghwa was nowhere to be seen, he was probably washing out the bucket.
“Hey, Wooyoung-yah”, Hongjoong said warmly and knelt down to look at the second maknae. Wooyoung blinked owlishly up at him. “Noona said you can stay home today, I’ll be staying with you, okay?”
“Sangie-hyung?”, Wooyoung mumbled, unintentionally pouting. Yeosang was frowning unhappily, rubbing Wooyoung’s arm. He looked reluctant to leave his best friend behind too.
“He needs to go in for filming, baby. He’ll be back as soon as possible, okay?”, Hongjoong explained.
“Oh, alright”, Wooyoung said sadly but let Yeosang get up, instead opting to lie down completely on the couch.
⌛
Fifteen minutes later and punctual as promised Hongjoong and Wooyoung were left alone. Before they had left Mingi had gotten them some supplies and Jongho had brought both of them their bed covers, so there was no need for them to get up at all. They could stay curled up under the covers all day if they wanted to.
Wooyoung had laid down in Hongjoong’s lap, latching onto any heat source he could get. His eyes were closed but Hongjoong knew he wasn’t asleep. There were unhappy lines on the younger’s forehead and the leader could imagine why.
“Baby?”, he asked, “stomach ache?”
Wooyoung nodded weakly. “I’m sorry for all this, hyung”, he said quietly.
“Hush, dongsaeng”, Hongjoong soothed, “you’re sick, it happens. I can’t get you a hot water bottle, your temperature is too high for that, but I can rub your tummy?”
The younger opened his eyes for a moment, blinking against the overhead light and closed them again. “Thank you, hyung.”
Hongjoong sneaked his hand under the blanket and he instantly felt just how upset the younger’s stomach was, gurgling and cramping against his hand.
“Is this okay?”, he asked gently.
Wooyoung just hummed, already mostly asleep.
⌛
Wooyoung felt terrible. Horrible. Disgusting. Weak. Awful. Any negative association he could think off. He hated throwing up and he really had looked forward to filming. Now he was sick and miserable.
He had napped most of the morning except for the few instances where he had gotten sick again. His stomach ached, the nausea was still terrible even when he wasn’t about to puke, his head ached and he felt so frustrated.
He could tell that Hongjoong mirrored the last emotion.
“You should try to eat a bit, baby”, Hongjoong coaxed, obviously at his wit’s end. “I let you slack off breakfast but you haven’t effectively eaten since yesterday lunch. We need to get some nutrients and fluids into you. Then you can even taken some medicine to help.”
Wooyoung knew that the fever was making him feel so awful and emotional but he could help that eating or drinking sounded like the hardest tasks in the entire universe. He was done with being done, done with feeling sick and he didn’t want to risk anything that could trigger another bout.
He only wanted his captain hyung.
Hongjoong had been incredibly patient with him, ignoring his dislike towards skinship to cuddle Wooyoung as much as the younger wanted. He was grateful for his hyung, really. The captain hadn’t even complained when Wooyoung had burst into tears the moment he had stopped touching Wooyoung. Rationally, Wooyoung knew that the bucket needed cleaning out and that for that Hongjoong had needed to leave. That knowledge hadn’t prevented him from crying anyhow, clinging to his hyung. He didn’t want to be alone in his misery, so sue him.
Wooyoung shook his head wildly, his oreo hair stuck to his forehead with sweat so it didn’t even fly around anymore when moved. “I can’t, hyung”, he whined.
“At least some tea? Please?”, Hongjoong asked, obviously desperate. Wooyoung felt sorry towards his hyung who had to deal with him but he didn’t want to be alone.
“I don’t want you to leave”, he whispered, tears gathering in his eyes again. The headache from dehydration had taken up residence ages ago but he was miserable anyway. Tea wouldn’t make it better. Hyung would.
“It’ll be for two minutes, baby”, Hongjoong begged, “you can drink some tea. You haven’t thrown up in nearly two hours now, maybe it will stay down. You need fluids. I hate to do this … but if you don’t drink anything in the next fifteen minutes I’m taking you to hospital for an IV.”
Wooyoung’s eyes filled with tears. He didn’t want to go to the hospital. He wanted to just be okay.
“I know, dongsaeng”, Hongjoong soothed. Wooyoung hadn’t even noticed he said that aloud. “Two minutes.”
Wooyoung let himself be lifted from Hongjoong’s lap and laid down against a pillow.
Within a blink of an eye Hongjoong had appeared with a cup of tea and one of their bamboo straws.
“Just a few sips. I put in some cold water, I tried it. It’s drinking temperature.” The leader smiled down at him and lowered the cup so that Wooyoung could drink. Propped up against the pillow he was able to drink and Hongjoong kept stroking back his hair.
“You are doing so well, baby”, Hongjoong praised when Wooyoung had taken a few sips. “Sleep.”
⌛
Wooyoung barely felt better by evening. His temperature that had gone down with medication in the afternoon had gone up in the evening again. Worse yet, he had slept so much over the day he wasn’t even particularly tired.
Hongjoong and Seonghwa had originally decided to isolate him and the captain but it seemed that shy Yeosang had bullied his way into the bedroom. How that had happened Wooyoung wasn’t sure but his best friend could be stubborn if he wanted to.
That was how he ended up snuggling Yeosang in his bed again, resting on the elder’s chest while he played with Wooyoung’s hair. Hongjoong had pulled out his laptop and was playing soft music over the speakers, working through his email.
Wooyoung still wasn’t feeling good and he would get sick again in the night but soothed by the sound of Hongjoong clicking on keys and Yeosang stroking his hair and telling them about his day he felt better than all day.

Cuz you're amazing. Wooyoung in his Bouncy era and the prompt “I got your hair, it’s okay.”
Thanks for requesting Anon! 🧡🧡🧡
Pairing: Wooyoung x Hongjoong - platonic intentions, but open interpretation.
Words: 1916
Warnings: Emeto || Graphic Descriptions of Vom!ting || Stomach Ache
Inspiration: Bouncy Era Wooyoung. (Using content from the MV filming with creative liberty).
“Cut!” The director calls out and all eight members drop their characters, trying to regain their breath after filming the group dance scene. “That’s a wrap for this location. San-ssi and Wooyoung-ssi, you’re off to the next location to film your scenes. Everyone else, filming resumes tomorrow.” Crew members hustle around the set to collect the equipment. Meanwhile, the members all walk back to wardrobe to get back into their street clothes.
Wooyoung and San are quickly ushered away by the managers toward the van waiting to take them to the next location. Hongjoong tags along as well. If anyone asks, he just wants to monitor their progress. But the two 99z know Hongjoong’s going to keep an eye on them. And they can’t blame him for it. Not since their last solo shoot.
“Can we get food on the way?” Wooyoung asks whoever is listening. “I’m starving.” He emphasizes, rubbing a hand over his stomach with a defined pout.
“Wooyoung-ah, you still have to film. You don’t wanna dance on a full stomach.” Hongjoong reminds, “You’ll make yourself sick.”
“Just a little something? Please,” the youngest pleads, “It’s mostly acting in the next scene. I don’t really dance. And my outfit’s loose too.”
Hongjoong reviews the plans for San and Wooyoung’s solo shoot, reading over the notes. And Wooyoung’s right. There isn’t any choreo to film. So he doesn’t see why Wooyoung couldn’t eat something before the shoot. He sighs, “I guess there’s no reason you can’t get a snack.”
Wooyoung’s pout morphs into a wide smile. “You’re the best, hyung!” He hugs the leader, much to his displeasure.
Wooyoung chooses tteokbokki as his snack, despite Hongjoong warning him that something spicy might not be the best idea. The youngest 99 disregards the warning, reminding the leader that he loves spicy food. And he can totally handle it. Hongjoong’s skeptical, but the satisfaction on the younger’s face as he slurps up each rice cake eases him.
“Spicy,” Wooyoung exhales slowly as he swallows the last bite.
“Cheon-yang gochu vibe” San sings in response. Even Hongjoong has to laugh at the remark.
When they arrive at the set, the three members separate. Wooyoung is set to shoot first, so he rushes off to wardobe. San’s directed to make-up to start applying his fake injuries. And Hongjoong reviews the set to make sure everything’s in order. He chats with the director and other crew members while he waits for Wooyoung to join them.
Wooyoung’s not a man of many regrets. He trusts his decisions and makes choices passionately, even if they aren’t always the best choices. He sees no point in reflecting on the past or thinking in hindsight. And he always looks for the bright side of every situation and doesn’t try to assign blame.
But this time. This time he thinks he’s made a mistake. His stomach gurgles while he’s getting his hair done. He knows something is wrong, and he hasn’t even moved around too much. Even though he’s not dancing on the set, he’s still moving around. And the remnants of his tteokbokki snack will be sloshing around with him. He finds himself wishing he hadn’t chosen such a spicy dish for his snack.
They’re on a tight filming schedule. So he’s going to have to push through the discomfort and get in character. A few deep breaths and he’s ready to head out to the set. Wooyoung immerses himself in the character in order to suppress his angered stomach.
The first few takes go on without a hitch. He has to suppress a few sour burps here and there, stifle hiccups every now and then. But there's not much movement. He just needs to sit in the van and let his expressions do all the work.
He stands close to Hongjoong as they walk toward the boxing set. He contemplates telling his leader about his upset stomach, but he fears the barrage of 'I told you so's and 'I tried to warn you's that he's sure the leader would unleash upon him. So he fidgets with the hem of his button down and listens to Hongjoong's voice as they walk.
Hongjoong is actually praising him. Or rather, praising his character, as they walk on. "This concept really fits you, Young-ah. The long hair really compliments your visuals." The leader plays with the ponytail, "I think Atiny will really like it."
Typically, Wooyoung would bask in his leader's praises, even if it's just complimenting his consistent visual role in the group. He would usually bat his long lashes to get more attention. Or tease Hongjoong for showing any kind of affection. But he can't even force a smile. It's taking all of his effort to swallow the growing nausea and keep it at bay.
The rapper also notices that Wooyoung's not responding to the compliments in his typical fashion. He had suspected that something was wrong during the van filming. He'd caught the younger member grimacing between takes with a fearful look in his eyes. He figured it was just nerves. So he's trying to boost the younger's confidence. It doesn't seem to be working. "Wooyoung, are you okay"? Before he even gives the other member time to answer, he continues, "You know to tell me if somethings wrong."
A few seconds of silence pass between them and Wooyoung fidgets more. Hongjoong has to stop him before he rips a button of the shirt pulling at the hem like that. "Hyung, I-" he's about to confess when the director calls him to the set. His whole demeanor changes. "I'll tell you later." And he scurries to find the director. Hongjoong sighs as he goes to stand by the monitors. He ensures to keep an eye on Wooyoung and pull the plug if anything seems out of sorts.
Wooyoung doesn't have any specific role here. He's just supposed to move around the boxing ring. They'll cut the best clips for the video later. It's both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, he doesn't have to move too much. But on the other, it leaves too much time for self-awareness.
"Can't you give it more passion, Wooyoung-ssi. You're lacking energy." The director scolds. Wooyoung's movements aren't exactly aligning to the beat of the song. Wooyoung is obedient, so he starts jumping around the ring, all smiles and sexy expressions as if his stomach isn't tumbling inside of him.
"Much better! Keep it up," The director praises. After who knows how long, the director calls a cut. "Okay, how about some shots jumping on the ropes?" The camera crew rearranges to shoot the far corner and Wooyoung gets into position. He turns his back to the camera and rubs his stomach, pleading that it holds out until after the filming.
He does what he's asked to do. If he were feeling better, he might actually enjoy swinging and jumping around the ropes. But his stomach has had enough of it. The burps are coming more frequently, and they're getting harder to stifle. And each one brings back the spicy flavor of the tteokbokki that he's trying to forget.
While he plays on the ropes, he feels his hair tie loosen, and with the next throw of his head, the strands fall around his face. The director quickly cuts the cameras and calls for the hair crew on set.
Wooyoung jumps off the stand and runs off set. Hongjoong assumes at first he's rushing to the monitor to review, but the younger member sprints past the monitor area and past the crew. The leader watches as the long strands of hair bounce as he exits the stage. Before the director can yell at him for unprofessionalism, he apologizes and assures to bring the other back quickly.
Hongjoong chases after Wooyoung, not with anger but with worry. He follows the patterned button down shirt all the way to the bathroom. "Wooyoung-ah!" He shouts to get the younger’s attention.
Wooyoung can't turn around, too fixated on making it to the toilet in time. He hovers over the nearest sink with his lips pressed tightly together. As he stares down at the drain, he watches his long strands of hair dangle around what would inevitably be the splash zone. He tries lowering his head, but his hair just ends up sitting in the sink. And that's objectively worse.
A long belch nearly tears his lips open, filling his mouth with foul tasting sick. But he manages to hold it back with a muffled whimper. He clenched his eyes shut and shakes his head, frustrated with the whole situation. He vows he'll never eat tteokbokki again after this fiasco.
It's the calming voice of his leader that soothes his nerves. Long, gentle fingers scrape against his hairline, pulling the long strands of hair back. Hongjoong tightly grips the strands to keep them out of Wooyoung's face.
"I've got your hair. It's okay." He coaxes the younger, placing his free hand over one of Wooyoung's against the edge of the sink. "You can let it out."
It's embarrassing vomiting like this in front of their leader. But Hongjoong is the only person he feels like he needs right now. He parts his lips just enough to let the sick he had stored in his cheeks fall into the drain. Undigested chunks of tteokbokki fill the sink, too large to fit down the grate. The sight and the smell force another wave before he even has time to breathe.
While Wooyoung catches his breath, Hongjoong guides the vocalist into a stall. He's easy to maneuver, relinquishing all control to the captain. The rapper situates him in front of the toilet and readjusts his grip on Wooyoung's ponytail. When Wooyoung doesn't immediately puke again, Hongjoong speaks, "Do you think you're done?"
Wooyoung shrugs his shoulders. He certainly hopes so, but there's still a sour feeling in his stomach.
"Do you think you can finish the filming?" He asks. He releases Wooyoung's hair, tucking the strands behind each of Wooyoung's ears just so they're out of the way. He makes a mental note to redo Wooyoung's ponytail once they're out of the bathroom.
Wooyoung knows he doesn't really have a choice in the matter. "Can Sannie film now? I'll finish, I just need a few minutes."
Hongjoong nodded, "I'll talk to the director. I'll let him know you're not feeling well, and see if they can film San's scenes now while you rest."
"Thank you hyungie." Wooyoung cuddles against the elder. Hongjoong doesn't shy away despite his distaste for skinship or the putrid odor clinging to the vocalists lips.
Once Wooyoung's stomach feels settled, he and Hongjoong make the journey back to the greenroom. "You know, this wouldn't have happened if-"
Wooyoung cuts the leader off, "Hyung, no!" He whines, drawing out the last syllable. "Please no 'I told you so's. I don't feel good. I can't sit through a lecture right now."
Hongjoong chuckles at the whiny member clinging to him as they shuffle through the studio. "Alright, I'll save it for later," He pets the younger's hair as they walk, thinking to himself about how much he likes the long strands. "kind of like you should have done with the tteokbokki."
Wooyoung's stomach gurgles at that and a small burp jolts his body, like the mere mention of the food is enough to make him sick, "Hyung~~~."
"Okay, okay." Hongjoong soothes, "You just rest, Young-ah. Hyung will take care of everything."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: I had tried listening to Bouncy on repeat while writing this, but eventually had to stop because I kept getting distracted by the chorus choreo. I had to stop. If this song isn't my Spotify #1 song, I will be legitimately surprised. I listen to Bouncy at least 5 times a day. I also watched the music video a ton and took notes from the MV Filming to include in this request. To say I'm obsessed with Bouncy era would be an understatement. So thank you for the request!
As always, thanks for reading to the end! Feedback is always appreciated. And please let me know if I missed any tags or TWs. Please call me out for any errors you notice!

Sick Wooyoung Headcanons
Very clingy if he feels unwell
Either is very vocal about it or will get completely silent
Struggles with stomach problems
Isn't embarrassed about anything and will tell you straight away
Please rub his belly. He lives it and it's the only thing that helps him
Doesn't like to throw up and needs you by his side or else he will hold it down as long as possible
Even more clingy and annoying if he has a high fever. Tends to get delirious or gets nightmares
Cuddles are the best medicine
If he gets burpy you know he feels unwell
Sometimes doesn't notice how he feels
If he feels mentally unwell he just curls up in your lap and wants his head to me petted
Needs praise and a lot of reassurance if he messed something up or missed his schedule
Will cry easily if he has a fever
Can't handle dizziness and will cling onto your arm
Scenarios:
He came down with a bad fever and kept trying to steal kisses and as you said you won't give them to him he started crying

I didn’t know your requests were open! Can you write a Wooyoung fic? I can just imagine that he’d be really moody and emotional when he has a fever and Seonghwa and Hongjoong would do their best to take care of him despite him being wicked high maintenance!
Thanks for your request! Actually I gave me a really good idea. You have to wait for your actual request a bit tho-
I thought about making two parts. So there’s the first part feat Yeosang as the caretaker. In the second part you’ll get moody feverish Woo and caretaker Hongjoong! 🥰
Part 1
-
Wooyoung shivered for the tenth time today, his cheeks flushed as he cuddled up next to Yeosang.
They’re currently waiting on the set, Wooyoung and Yeosang being the last one to get their pictures taken.
Wooyoung complained about being cold the whole day. To anyone who crossed his way. As loud as he could. Always making sure to sneak on one of the members and cuddling up to them. Mostly it was Yeosang. It’s always either Yeosang or San. Even though he does love to sneak up to Hongjoong and steal hugs and kisses. All of the members are just so comforting to him.
However Yeosang has a special place in his heart. Being his oldest friend, the reason he ended up here in the first place. They can be playful, having play-fights and make fun of each other, but they’re also always there for each other. So of course Wooyoung searches for any kind of comfort from his friend as soon as he feels bad in the slightest .
Yeosang takes a look at the dancer next to him. He’s shivering, but his cheeks are red and his face feels clammy and hot. Eyebags on display, his usual healthy skin looking gray. He really doesn’t look good, he probably came down with something. That’s all Yeosang could think about..
Wooyoung nuzzles his head more into the shoulders of his friend. Softly whimpering in discomfort as he squeezes his eyes shut.
Yeosang furrows his eyebrows in concern.
“Are you okay?” He asks worried.
Wooyoung swallows “Dunno..” he mumbles.
The slightly younger leaned his head back and closed his eyes, the action making him dizzy.
“Just a bit dizzy...”
Yeosang nodded and pulled the younger closer into his frame. Reaching out and holding Wooyoung's hand in his. Caressing over the back with his thumb.
Yeosang leans forward and rested his lips against the younger's forehead.
“Mhh what are you doing..?” Wooyoung mumbled sleepy
“Checking your temperature.” Yeosang said with a blush, pulling away. “I saw that in a show.”
“Mhm. You should do that more often.” Wooyoung grins as he cuddles more into the side of his Yeosang. Intertwining their hands.
Leaving Yeosang to blush even more.
“Yah! That idiot definitely is running a fever.” Seokjin mumbled.
Wooyoung pouted sadly. “Don’t call me that, I feel bad..”
Yeosang sighed “I’m sorry. I hope you feel better tomorrow.”
Oh how Wooyoung wished he really would feel better tomorrow..

hey there, don't know if you write for ateez but if you do, I would like to request a sick whining wooyoung with a cough with caretaker jongho who's quite a germo but can't resist taking care of him cause he sounds so bad <3 (sorry if it's long or too specific 🥺
sorry that its kinda short
Sickie: Wooyoung
Caretaker: Jongho
Wooyoung p.o.v
I wish I could have enjoyed my day off like my members all were. But unfortunately I was cursed with the most worthless immune system ever and instead was spending it sick. Thankfully it was more of a bad cold than anything, but I still was annoyed. I woke up with a headache, a sore and itchy throat and a blocked, stuffy nose. I trudged downstairs, groaning softly at the spinning in my head. Downstairs I only saw Jongho, "Where's everyone else?" I asked, cringing at ow my voice sounded. I must have startled the maknae because his head turned quickly to look at me. "good morning hyung, they all left already. I didn't really want to do anything so I stayed behind." I nodded, clearing my throat, trying to fight a cough. "you okay hyung?" Jongho asked, looking worried. "yeah, just a little cold" I admitted sniffling lightly. "oh" he looked a bit uneasy, when I suddenly remembered how nervous the maknae was about germs. "Shit!" I said, stepping back from Jongho. Im sorry I forgot
"Its okay hyung" he said softly, I turned as far away from him as I possibly could and ducked as far into my elbow as physically possible and coughed, the coughs hurt my chest and caused my already aching head to throb with the feelinh. "Woo? Are you okay?" I nodded, my eyes pricked with tears, a combination of the force of the cough and the pain. "how long have you been sick for?"
"woke up like this" I said, coughing through the words. I heard movement coming from the maknae, and was shocked when I felt his hand on my shoulder. "bed time hyung" I shook my head, "Jonho, I'm okay"
"I cant leave you alone like this, you're obviously sick"
"But you dont like germs."
"I know. But I also cant bring myself to abandon you when you're obviously sick."
I shook my head, "I'll be ok-hhtch! Htchh" I said getting as a far away from him as I could, "bless you" he gently patted my shoulder.
"I'll be okay Jongho, trust me. I'll take care of myself"
"I know you can, but it's not fair to ask you to, especially when you're sick"
"But I-"
"Hyung it's fine. You guys have taken care of me so many times. Let me return the favor" I nodded, feeling a bit unsure, "go to the couch, I'll get you medicine and stuff" I nodded and did as he instructed.
Jongho p.o.v
I hurried to the bathroom and washed my hands all the way up to my elbows, I forced myself to breathe, genuinely scared. But I knew Wooyoung needed me. I put a mask on and grabbed the medicine that he needed plus a box of tissues and some water. I went to the living room. "Hey hyung" he looked up at me, I noticed how pale he was. "Here" I set the medicine and water on the table and slid the tissue box next to him. "Thanks" he swallowed the medicine then blew his nose. He went to set the tissue down on the couch, "don't do that" I said quickly, hoping I didn't sound too panicked, "I'll get a bag for the trash"
I brought him a bag and he put the tissue in it, and set it opposite of me on the couch. "So I got a text from Seonghwa, him and Hongjoong will be home soon" Wooyoung said, he coughed after, thankfully turning very far from me. "Okay, do you know when?" I asked, hoping I didn't sound too anxious. "I think he said 15 minutes" I nodded, "I'm sorry that I'm not very good at takong care of people."
"Jongho it's okay. You've already done amazing. I know it's not easy for you. Remind you I owe you dinner when I feel better" he smiled, "just doing my job" I shook my head, "you've done more than that" I smiled, he shrugged. "Glad I could help"

a sickie Wooyoung with Hongjoong as caretaker ❤️ let's say this happened in the break the wall tour and woojoong are roommates, enjoy!!
Hongjoong's pov
A hacking cough erupts from the room adjacent to mine, startling me awake. I roll onto my side to see Wooyoung, in the doorway. He's still wearing his concert clothes, and he's shivering quite a bit. The walls of his belly are so distended with air, they almost feel taut. "You alright, Wooyoungie?" I ask as I rub my eyes.
For all appearances, he doesn't even hear me; his coughs are so violent, they seem to be ripping him apart.
The sick boy realizes that his hyung is calling him and takes a shaky breath and tries to answer but his voice broke in another coughing spell.
I slide over and pat his back as he's hunched against the doorway, fighting the urge to retch. "Woo?" His coughing subsides, and the look of strain on his face gives way to what's almost a manic smile. "You, you're gonna be a big help to me." Another series of coughs wracks his body. "I'm sick, real sick... and I need you to make me a milkshake, stat."
"Okay just because your face looks as red as your hair color it doesn't mean you can boss me around" I say teasing him and patting his head feeling his burning skin.
"But I'm really really sick " he says giving me puppy eyes. "I know I'm just messing with you." I chuckled.
I drag myself from the soft mattress, and slip quietly into the kitchen, barefoot. I pull out the bucket of pre-made mixes and try to find something that isn't chocolate-based. There... there's a vanilla strawberry. I spoon out two helpings of mix and add milk before blending for a couple of seconds.
I head back to the bedroom and set the glass down on the nightstand next to a bed-bound Wooyoung. "There ya go."
"Thanks Hongjoong hyung, my throat is killing me, do you think I'll lost my voice? We have the soundcheck later and I don't want to-" his words got cut of by a congested sneeze that made him cough again.
"Shh don't worry about that." I say rubbing his back to ease the fit. We have plenty of things to solve about the show with Wooyoung this sick, sounding as worse as he's looking.. but this is a problem for later.
I look down and the sick boy has clinged onto me, the medicine I poured into the milkshake making effect, he would never took it properly, such a baby.. I thought to myself trying not to laugh.
I pull the covers over both of us and we fall asleep.

scrapped: wooyoung, e2l sickfic ✦ ｡ﾟ･ 🍃⋆
“Is that all you’ve got? No wonder you’re always in second place,” Wooyoung snickered beside you.
His cheeks were flushed red from the race and his hair was sticking to his forehead from how much he was sweating. Yet he still managed to find the energy to be a dickhead.
“Fuck off,” you whispered, letting your body drop down onto the athletic track. Usually this was a perfectly normal thing to do, but thanks to your fever and migraine that had been worsening throughout the day you winced when you hit the ground, a jolt of pain sparking up your spine and into your skull. You drew in a long breath. You just needed to find your water bottle and you’d be fine.
“Seriously, I barely even broke a sweat and you look like you’re about to pass out,” Wooyoung continued to taunt you. You couldn’t even bring yourself to groan at his pestering.
You shouldn’t have gone to athletics for several reasons. The most obvious reason was that the cold you’d started coming down with last night had been absolutely wrecking you all day, making it near impossible to concentrate on any of your classes and one hundred percent impossible to maintain any conversations longer than a minute.
The only slightly less obvious reason was Wooyoung. On the best of days the two of you were already up each other’s asses, training not for competitions or for fitness but rather to beat each other in every category. It wasn’t weird for Wooyoung to bitch at you when you beat him and it wasn’t weird for him to gloat when he beat you. All in all, going to athletics with your body on the verge of collapse when you knew Wooyoung was there was pretty much a death sentence.
“Hey,” Wooyoung called out. You grunted in response, pressing your forehead into your knees as you tried to catch your breath. Apparently Wooyoung wasn’t satisfied with that response because suddenly his trainer kicked into your foot. Hard.
“Wooyoung, fuck off!” you shouted, your voice loud enough to make your head throb in pain. You didn’t really hate Wooyoung outside of races and practice, but with your body on the brink of collapse you didn’t have it in you to bicker with him the way you usually did.
“Hey, slow down,” Wooyoung said, his voice a little quieter this time. His foot nudged against yours once again. “You just didn’t run very far today and I-”
“Wooyoung if you’re going to brag again just shut up,” you tried to yell, only for your voice slowly turn into a whimper. You lifted your head and your teary eyes met his as you tried to fan yourself with one hand. “Just shut up because I really don’t feel well and I don’t need you to give me shit for it right now.”
Wooyoung stared at you as though you’d grown a second head, suddenly looking nervous as he picked at the skin around one of his thumbs.
“I was just going to say you should drink some water and that I have some dextrose tablets if you want one,” he said, his voice so sympathetic that if you hadn’t seen him speaking you wouldn’t have guessed that it was him.
Great. Now you looked like a dickhead.
“I’ll drink water in a second, I just need to find my water bottle,” you told him, pressing the heels of your palms to your eyes and inhaling deeply.

Ateez - Flu - Part 5
Wooyoung glanced up at the clock on the wall. They had the practice room reserved for another few hours but he decided to call it anyhow.
“This is pointless. Only half of us are here. We’re spending more time trying to figure out how to navigate all the empty spaces than actually working” he said with a shrug.
The rest of the members nodded in agreement, nobody having any objections to getting out early.
Yeosang and Jongho packed up and announced that they were going to catch a movie and maybe a meal before heading back home, heeding Seonghwa’s advice about avoiding the apartment for the time being. They had invited San and Wooyoung to join and San was about to accept the invitation before he turned back to Wooyoung, who looked deep in thought, completely oblivious to the conversation going on around him.
“Have fun, I’m going to try and take care of this though” San responded, indicating toward Wooyoung.
Wooyoung hadn’t even noticed the others leave and was momentarily startled when San sat down next to him, ducking his head slightly to get a look at Wooyoung’s face.
“What’s on your mind?” San asked gently, not wanting to pry too hard while also addressing the proverbial elephant in the room.
“Hmm? Oh, no I’m fine” Wooyoung replied flatly, but San wasn’t about to let it go so easily.
“Wooyoung I don’t think you are fine. It’s just us. What’s wrong?” San continued to push. This time Wooyoung looked up and San immediately noticed the tears in his eyes.
“The way I snapped at Mingi…” Wooyoung started, his voice cracking. “I didn’t know he was sick. But I shouldn’t have responded the way I did.”
Wooyoung was spiraling, that much was obvious to San. “What’s done is done Wooyoungie. Just apologize. Things happen and I’m sure he knows that you didn’t mean it.”
Wooyoung only nodded. There was nothing else to say.
San took the opportunity to change the subject, hoping to get Wooyoung out of his own head. “Do you want to catch up with Yeosang and Jongho? We could still make it to the movie theater in time.”
Wooyoung shook his head at that. “I’m just not in the mood. I want to go home” he responded pulling himself to his feet. “You can go though. I think I’m going to go home and take a nap.”
San quickly stood up, following Wooyoung to collect his things. “Actually a nap sounds good. We never get to nap.” San smiled sadly at Wooyoung before heading toward the door. “Would you mind if I crashed with you again? From the sound what Hwa hyung said when he left Yunho’s not feeling any better.”
“Only if you’re willing to cuddle” Wooyoung quipped back, a small smile crossing his face much to San’s relief.
San wouldn’t have it any other way, holding the door open for Wooyoung. “Deal.”
*~*~*~*~*~
When San and Wooyoung arrived home the apartment was silent. San poked his head into the hyungs’ room, finding them sleeping on top of their blankets fully clothed. He quickly indicated to Wooyoung to be quiet before pulling their door closed again.
“Hyungs are tired too” San whispered as he and Wooyoung changed into something more comfortable in Wooyoung’s room.
“Of course they are, they are stuck taking care of two big, sick babies.” Wooyoung’s mood seemed to be lightening now that they were home. He wasted no time getting into bed, relieved to have the opportunity to catch up on some sleep.
By the time San had returned from the kitchen where he had grabbed some snacks for the two of them, Wooyoung was already fast asleep. He considered lying down in Yeosang or Jongho’s bed in order to avoid disturbing Wooyoung but he remembered that Wooyoung had asked him to cuddle. So instead he carefully pulled the covers back and eased himself down. It was only a matter of seconds before Wooyoung had his face buried in San’s chest.
*~*~*~*~*~
Hongjoong was surprised when he woke up in a dark, empty room. He sat up quickly, much to the dismay of his aching head, being pulled back into reality. Before he could make his way out of his room he noticed a note on his bedside table in familiar handwriting:
Joong -
I’m taking Yunho to the hospital. His temp isn’t budging and he’s extremely nauseous. I think he’s dehydrated. Please look after Mingi. And make sure you are looking after yourself as too. You’ve been overextended lately and I don’t want to be taking you to the hospital next.
-Hwa
Hongjoong tried to make sense of what Seonghwa had written but his brain was having trouble comprehending. He couldn’t seem to figure out how long he had been asleep, how he hadn’t heard Seonghwa get up, and why he hadn’t woken him before he left with Yunho for the hospital.
But his thoughts were interrupted by a loud thud coming from somewhere in the apartment. The overwhelming lethargy he had been feeling was immediately shaken as he jumped up from his bed to determine what had happened.
Hongjoong was met with the sound of muffled voices punctuated with occasional sobs as soon as he opened his door. He quickly found the source when he opened the door to Yeosang, Wooyoung, and Jongho’s room, finding Wooyoung crumpled on the floor, crying in front of an overturned desk shelf and plastic vitamin containers strewn across the floor.
And then there was San seated next to him on the floor, tears streaming down his own cheeks as he looked up at Hongjoong like a deer in the headlights.
“San, I can’t - breathe” Wooyoung choked out. Hongjoong was immediately kicking the mess out of the way to take a seat opposite to San, his mind replaying their time in the dance studio together earlier that day. Wooyoung had been involved in the fight with Mingi, sure, but nothing happened that would have led Hongjoong to predict the situation unfolding before him.
“Young-ah, hey, look at me” he started, a bit startled when Wooyoung’s eyes snapped up to meet his own and finding them red, glassy, and swollen. “I need you to take a deep breath.”
Wooyoung struggled for a moment before letting out a whine. “Hyung, I can’t…” he groaned, tears continuing to soak his cheeks.
“Yes you can, just keep trying,” Hongjoong interrupted, grabbing Wooyoung’s hand and placing it to his own chest. After a few exaggerated breaths he was able to get Wooyoung to follow along, slowing his shallow quick breathing to match his hyung’s.
“That’s better, Woo. Just relax” Hongjoong continued, glancing over at San, who was white as a ghost as he silently held Wooyoung’s other hand, stroking the back of it with his thumb. They remained that way for a few minutes until Wooyoung had calmed down, hiccuping a quiet apology. All three startled when the door unexpectedly open, revealing Mingi with a bottle of water in his hand.
“Mingi, you should be in bed,” Hongjoong murmured, loud enough only for Mingi to hear. A small shake of his head indicated that Mingi had heard him but he joined the other three on the floor anyhow before handing Wooyoung the water.
“I’m sorry” Wooyoung said, his eyes glancing toward the downed shelf on the floor and resulting mess around them. He then averted his gaze to Mingi as tears began to well up in his eyes again. “I’m so sorry” he repeated, but Mingi only shook his head.
“It’s okay, don’t give it another thought” he replied, laying his head on Hongjoong’s shoulder, exhaustion quickly settling in again.
Hongjoong rubbed his back before getting to his feet and helping Mingi to his. “I’m going to get Mingi back to bed” he said quietly to San. “Can you get Wooyoung up and this mess cleaned up? I’ll be right back.”
San nodded, doing his best to muster a confident smile as Hongjoong led Mingi out the door.
*~*~*~*~*~
Sam’s mind raced as he set Yeosang’s shelf back on his desk, absentmindedly placing the containers back on it. He wracked his brain, trying to think of what could have caused Wooyoung to wake up gasping for breath and in tears. Wooyoung had seemed fine when they went to sleep, tired sure, but okay. Which is why San was so shocked to be woken by Wooyoung pushing him away in an attempt to get out of bed before stumbling into the desk and knocking Yeosang’s prized vitamin collection to the floor.
Once the room had returned to a state of normalcy San turned back to Wooyoung, who was lying in his bed, buried in his blankets with his back turned to him.
“What’s going on Wooyoung?” San asked gently, sitting at the foot of the bed, careful to avoid Wooyoung’s feet. Wooyoung didn’t respond, only burrowing himself deeper into the blankets.
Not sure what to do, San stepped out before standing in Mingi’s doorway. Hongjoong looked at the thermometer that he had just taken from Mingi’s mouth with a frown.
“Your temperature is up, Mingi. I’m going to get you some meds and I want you to hydrate as much as you can before you go back to sleep. Hwa’s at the hospital with Yunho right now because he’s dehydrated. I don’t want to have to take you too” Hongjoong said firmly as Mingi’s face sunk even further upon hearing Yunho was in the hospital.
“Anything I can get you?” San asked as Hongjoong left to get Mingi some meds and water.
Mingi shook his head before coughing into his elbow. “I didn’t realize that Yunho had to go to…I yelled at him this afternoon. He was…it doesn’t matter. I shouldn’t have been an asshole.”
San shrugged with a reassuring smile. “Seems like a lot of that has been going around. I’m sure he understands. You’re sick. Sick people are crabby. He was crabby with me last night.”
Hongjoong soon returned with a bottle of water and a couple of tablets. “I’m serious about this, Mingi. Try to finish as much of this as you can? Okay?”
Mingi nodded as he swallowed his tablets. Hongjoong then turned to San, drawing in a deep breath as he ushered San out of Mingi’s room and closed the door behind them.
“Alright” he said, taking a moment to center himself before speaking again. “Any idea what’s going on with him?” Hongjoong asked but San shook his head.
“Its okay, San. That must have been scary for you. I’m going to talk to him. Can you put Yunho’s blankets in the wash and put new sheets on his bed? I’m not sure if he’ll be staying overnight or if he’ll be coming home…”
San could sense Hongjoong’s voice trailing off and nodded quickly, leaving Wooyoung in Hongjoong’s capable hands.
*~*~*~*~*~
It was times like this where he wished that Hongjoong wished he wasn’t a hyung or the leader, or…but he quickly snapped out of it as he opened Wooyoung’s door to find him curled up in a cocoon of blankets. All of his selfish thoughts of wanting to be free of responsibility melted away and he quickly forgot about the pounding pain behind his own eyes when he heard the sniffles coming from his dongsaeng. Hongjoong took a seat at the edge of his bed before drawing the blankets down just enough to uncover a head of unruly black hair.
“Hey,” he said quietly, stroking Wooyoung’s hair, smoothing it out bit by bit until Wooyoung rolled over to face him. “Can you tell hyung what happened?” He asked softly.
Wooyoung shrugged as he shifted closer to Hongjoong, clearly craving the comfort of his leader.
“I had a nightmare” Wooyoung finally said. “I can’t remember it. But I was so warm. And then I woke up and I was sweating and I couldn’t breathe.”
Hongjoong’s heart dropped at that. He placed the back of his fingers to Wooyoung’s cheek. “Wooyoung, you’re a little warm to the touch. Do you feel like you could be running a fever?”
Wooyoung didn’t respond, simply shrugging again with a sniffle as Hongjoong laid his fingers over his forehead. “You sound like you’re getting a little congested too” Hongjoong added, noticing the flush over Wooyoung’s cheeks.
Wooyoung looked none too happy when Hongjoong stepped out and returned with a thermometer.
“I know, I’m sorry” Hongjoong replied sympathetically and was relieved when Wooyoung extended a hand and placed it under his tongue, holding it in place without further prompting.
Wooyoung quickly pulled it out of his mouth and groaned before handing to Hongjoong.
38.2°.
“Yep, that’s a fever,” Hongjoong said with a sigh. He considered having Wooyoung take a flu test before determining it was futile. With two members already down with the flu and he himself feeling more exhausted and achy get the minute, there was no question as to what Wooyoung had come down with.
“It’s okay, Young-ah, we’ll get you back on your feet in no time” he said as he pulled his phone from his pocket, finding an unopened text from Seonghwa:
“He’s settled in and getting IV fluids. The nausea’s from the dehydration and his nurse said that would subside once he had his fluids replenished. He said that he can go home to rest but they want to get his fever down a little before they discharge him since he was pushing 40° when we got here. So we’ll probably be back tomorrow.”
The message was followed by a picture of Yunho, dead to the world, curled up with his puppy pillow and Spiderman blanket. Hongjoong couldn’t help but smile at that. It was just very Seonghwa to make sure to bring something to keep his dongsaeng comfortable in the hospital.
Hongjoong quickly responded:
“Glad you’re there with him. He looks more comfortable than he was earlier. Some bad news here though - Wooyoung’s sick.”

10 writing tips
for new and old writers from somebody who has been writing since she could hold a pen and needs these reminders herself sometimes
(they will have sickfic and K-Pop examples but generally can work for anybody)
Some days will suck! You may have writer’s block or you may not be able to concentrate or for some other reason things don’t work out. Happens to the best of us. Honestly. And it’s okay. One sentence is more than no sentence. And no sentences are okay too. There is no pressure to perform here, the community is happy to wait for you!
2. Stuck with a scene? Go take a walk. Do sports. Sing karaoke to your favorite songs. Dance. Whatever takes your mind of the matter. Inspiration strikes at odd times and maybe you will find yourself back writing in no time. Still stuck? Do you know where you want to end up with the story? Write a flow chart of possible events and then SKIP the beginning/middle/whatever part you are struggling with. You can puzzle it back together later and when you have the ending the scene you hate can be turned into a nice transition to where you actually want to go.
3. Music! Believe me, the music you listen to will influence your mood and the story you write. Personally, I’ll end up with a totally different writing style depending on the kind of music I listen to. That’s why my The Rose fics end up more heavy and dark than other fics. She’s in the Rain and See-Saw have a totally different vibe than ARRIBA or, I don’t know, God of Light Music. It will reflect in the story.
4. Details! Add details. All of them. Tiny things that your character does or thinks about. What they see and hear. Tell us! Don’t be afraid to overindulge us. Paint the scene. Is there a couch? Is it red? Are the blankets comfy or scratchy? There is a totally different feeling to the story depending on what you add.
Example:
Jongho hated the long drive, stuck between Yunho and Mingi.
OR:
Jongho was stuck in the backseat of the car, much to his annoyance. Yunho and Mingi, tall as they were, both had their freakishly long legs in his footwell which left less space for him. He didn’t blame them but it didn’t help his mood in the slightest. And while he was slowly getting used to regularly indulging in human touch, he didn’t enjoy how their warm upper bodies intruded on him, especially since they all were sweaty from dance practice. And, holy hell, he loved them but they were loud. The maknae just wanted some peace and quiet, listen to some music and get ready to sleep once home. But he had another twenty minutes left where he had to deal with their fake arguing crashing over his head and trying not to elbow them into the side.
5. Unnecessary details! Also add them! You don’t always have to stay strictly to the red line or go from A to Z. Explore T and E as well (sorry, that joke had to be included). They can talk about other stuff than what the story is about. Add jokes, add other dialogue, add things that might not make the story linear.
If you take my Wooyoung sickfic e.g., the first part is just bickering between MATZ and has nothing to do with the story. But it’s still nice to have and I enjoyed writing it.
6. Consider the theme of the story. A story of a hungover character can’t be written in the same light-hearted style as a mental health issue story. Take the characters into the setting. In my Hajoon centric series I mostly write very detailed and explain a lot but also there is so much emotion. That wouldn't work for a chase scene or a stupid injury story. These can be and should be fast paced! So think of the emotions you want the reader to feel!
7. Characters! Your story will be different depending on the character you write about. Who are they?
Are they serious? Write more seriously!
Are they funny and happy-go-lucky? Then the story should be more lighthearted.
This also goes for the next point, but different characters note different things.
Are they tall? They will see more than short characters and you can reflect that in writing. But also do they have habits you can include? Disabilities? Fears?
Minho won’t be the one consoling Felix on top of a tower because he will be scared of the heights.
Wonwoo might not be the person to see everything because of his bad vision and Seungcheol might not be able to sprint 200 meters to help somebody with his knee injury.
Yunho might not be able to see the expression on San’s face when San looks down, but Hongjoong might, since he still looks up to San height-wise.
Hajoon likely won’t be the one to talk to strangers to ask for something, so have Dojoon do the talking.
8. Whose perspective are you writing from? Look at the point above but also consider what they actually can know.
Woosung won’t be able to tell that Jaehyeong’s pain is getting worse if he isn’t showing obvious signs.
Here goes the details advice again: Use them to your advantage.
Yunho can’t know that Seonghwa is feeling dizzy … unless he starts to sway on his feet, holds onto something or says anything about it. So write about that.
Or if we look at a character getting sick:
If Seungmin is throwing up he can tell the reader that the taste in his mouth is bad and that his throat burns. Hyunjin might see the color or the tears on his face or hear the sounds while Seungmin is oblivious.
9. Everything seems repetitive and the same? Your words don’t flow?
Honestly, a thesaurus is your best friend. Have one on hand when writing, just google it. Or even better, if possible for you, use a voice activated one: Alexa, give me a synonym for “x”! I get help without even having to turn away from the document.
If you’re not sure if the synonym still fits into the sentence, put the whole sentence into google translate and translate it to your native language or from English to something else and back to english. If a whole new word comes out or the sentence doesn’t make sense it probably doesn’t work. Or, honestly, ask: There are so many people on here who will help you without a second thought. We all root for you!
Speaking of non-natives (hello 👋🏽): A dictionary on standby also helps. It gives different words and sometimes you just won’t remember or don’t know a word in your goal language. Happens. Again, Alexa works most of the time and gives you different options!
10. Lastly and most important: Hate what you wrote? Stop! You’re doing great. Maybe it won’t fit the story this time but maybe a different story of a different part? Don’t delete it. Move it to the bottom of the document or maybe a whole new document. But don’t delete your precious words.
Ignore the tiny voice in your head that tells you that everything you do sucks and it doesn’t matter what you write. People won’t die if a story is less than 100%. Don’t compare yourself to others! Even if we were given exactly the same detailed prompt we will end up with two totally different stories. And my normal is not your normal. Somebody's writing style may be different than yours but that doesn’t mean yours is bad. Take it one day at a time and remember to love yourself and do what makes you happy!

Summary: When he opens their bedroom door, he's hit by a pungent rotten acidic smell. It flips his own stomach and makes him put his knuckles over his lips. The smell is reminiscent of vomit, and his stomach instantly desires similar release. His disdain for his boyfriend vanishes immediately. He buries his own ill misery, replacing it with worry for his younger partner.
Pairing: Woosan (NonIdol AU) - established relationship
Words: 3511
Warnings: Emeto || Graphic Descriptions of Vom!ting || Fever || Fake Illness
Wooyoung has been planning this for weeks. A lot of time and research and actual money has gone into pulling off probably the greatest prank of their couples vlogging career. This specific prank seems to be trending right now, as he's seeing all the other couples they follow posting similar videos- "pranking my boyfriend by pretending to sick" and "will my boyfriend take care of me when I'm sick?" He binge watched all of them and found the content to be very cute. Even the gentle scoldings after the prank is revealed.
And in typical Wooyoung fashion, he wants to show off how abundantly caring his boyfriend is to the whole world. Or to their 307k subscribers anyway. After all, it was his idea to start the channel. And he puts the most effort into making the videos, editing the footage and adding effects. So with San away on a business trip, he sets the plan into motion.
He researches the best way to fake symptoms, leading him to the purchase of a thermometer that always reads a fever and a grotesque recipe for fake vomit. He hoards dryer lint, knowing it makes him sniffly and sings loudly in their empty apartment, intending to make his voice hoarse.
San hasn't told him what time his flight leaves, only that he'll "be back Friday morning." Wooyoung pouted and complained at that answer, but San stood his ground. He probably wants it to be a surprise. Well, two can play at that game. He sets everything up the night before San's anticipated return. He doesn't want to risk anything spoiling his prank. Pranking is his speciality.
He's got a box of tissues, medicine packets, bottled water, and the prank thermometer sitting on his bedside table. Hiding under the bed are a mist bottle of warm water and the jar of fake vomit. He's even set a bucket next to the bed and poured some of the fake vomit into it to really sell that he's been sick for a while. It smells terrible. It's perfect.
And of course, he camouflages the camera in the far corner of their room, angling the lense toward their shared bed to capture the exact moment San walks in and finds him ill.
He's already filmed his whole preparation process, ensuring to keep his viewers in on the prank. He's even started editing that footage already. All that's left is to really play the part. He puts on his fluffiest pajamas (keeping his baggie of dryer lint in the chest pocket for easy access) and settles into bed, ready for his plan to unfold.
He sleeps peacefully through the night, but startles awake at the sound of San's obnoxiously loud keychain jostling on his hip. Usually, he hates the thing. But for today's purposes, he's thankful that San chooses to sound like a human tambourine everywhere he goes. When he hears the door to their apartment unlatch, he quickly pulls the mist bottle out from under the bed. He sprays some around his sheets and some on his face before throwing it back under the bed. He starts rolling the camera, then quickly lays back down, ready for San to find him.
San sighs heavily as he lets himself into the apartment. He rips off his coat, feeling uncomfortably warm in his only layer aside from a loose-fitting t-shirt. He kicks off his shoes and abandons his luggage by the door, not even caring to unpack. He just wants to crawl into bed, ideally snuggled up beside his boyfriend.
He'd started feeling unwell the second day of the trip. He originally blamed it on the foreign food, but the more his symptoms progress, he thinks that maybe his seatmate on his departure flight wasn't just pale due to air sickness like he'd originally assumed.
It was a hellish trip, but he was able to maintain productivity in order to return Friday, like he had promised. And was rewarded with a few days off. He'd originally planned to spend those days spoiling Wooyoung. Now he thinks he'll use them to recover from whatever illness his immune system failed to prevent.
But no use dwelling on it further. He's finally home. Instead he shuffles his way to the bedroom, barely having the energy to lift his feet. He notices that the apartment is mostly unkempt. Dishes unwashed, belongings out of place, trash peeking out over the rim of the receptacle. He scoffs at the sight, mentally cursing the man he calls his boyfriend. He knows the younger isn't much for housework, but he wonders what's been keeping him so busy he couldn't load the dishwasher. Hopefully, once Wooyoung sees how sick he is, he'll clean it up. Otherwise, it will be left in disarray until he feels better.
When he opens their bedroom door, he's hit by a pungent rotten acidic smell. It flips his own stomach and makes him put his knuckles over his lips. The smell is reminiscent of vomit, and his stomach instantly desires similar release. His disdain for his boyfriend vanishes immediately. He buries his own ill misery, replacing it with worry for his younger partner.
San swallows thickly, taking large strides to Wooyoung curled up so small under the covers. He takes in the scene of obvious illness that's settled around the room, side-eying the sick bucket on the floor as the source of the unpleasant smell.
He gently brushes Wooyoung's bangs away to feel his forehead. He's not noticeably warm, but sweat coats his face and their bedsheets. Relief washes over him, thinking he must have already sweat the fever out.
Despite San's touch being feather-light, Wooyoung starts to stir and open his eyes, slowly of course to remain in-character. "Baby, you're home." Wooyoung's voice is perfectly hoarse, all according to plan. Still, he tacks on a chesty cough for effect.
"I just got back," San strokes along the younger's hairline. "Is my Wooyoungie not feeling very well?"
Wooyoung just shakes his head with a pout, adding a few shivers. San responds by pulling the blanket up to his chin. "How was your trip?" The younger asks.
San smiles at his sick dongsaeng, ruffling his hair. "Business as usual" is his simple reply. Leaving out all the bits of his own experiences with illness. "I'll tell you all about it when you're feeling better."
"Kay," Wooyoung yawns, nuzzling himself closer to San.
The smell of the bucket beside the bed demands his attention. The effect the putrid odor has on him is becoming too hard to ignore. His stomach gurgles and bubbles in anger the longer he's crouched beside it. "Baby, I'm going to wash this out okay? Do you think you'll need it anytime soon?" When Wooyoung shakes his head, San grabs the bucket holding it far away from his face and rushes to the bathroom.
He pours the contents into the toilet bowl and flushes all in one quick motion. While he's filling the bucket with water, he uses the sound of the running tap to mask his own gagging. He spits up a mouthful of sick he easily recognizes as the in-flight meal he begrudgingly stomached a few hours ago into the toilet and grimaces. Airline food hardly looks good the first time, but the second time is menacing.
But he doesn't have time to wallow in his own disgust. Not when Wooyoung needs him. He takes a few deep breaths and shakes out the fog from his head. Taking a long look in the mirror, he tries to convince himself it's jetlag. He hopes he could convince Wooyoung, too, should the younger notice his pallor. He flushes his own sick and brings the rinsed bucket back to the bedroom.
Meanwhile, Wooyoung is exacerbating his own symptoms with a smug smile of success. In San's absence, he not only refreshes the misting he'd applied earlier, but also takes a long whiff of the dryer lint in his pocket. The reaction was almost immediate. He's a watery-eyed, sniffling mess when San returns with the bucket.
San sets the bucket aside and sits on the edge of the bed. He plucks a tissue from the conveniently placed box and starts dabbing the younger's waterline. "What hurts, jagiya?"
"Everything," Wooyoung whimpers in such a pitiful way, he thinks he deserves an Oscar for his performance.
"I'm sorry you weren't feeling well and I wasn't here," he wants to lean over and comfort Wooyoung with a soft kiss, but he doesn't want to further compromise the younger's immune system by introducing new germs. Or vice versa. He settles for scalp scratches, which Wooyoung leans into. "You just rest, hyung will take good care of you now."
"Thank you, Sannie." Wooyoung coos as he starts to drift off.
San eyes the thermometer on the side table and it seemingly reminds him. "Don't fall asleep just yet, let me take your temperature first." He pleads, and Wooyoung opens his mouth obediently.
When the thermometer reads 39.2 degrees, San's eyes widen like saucers. Wooyoung hadn't felt that warm. But he resolves that maybe he's sporting a fever and it's making Wooyoung feel cooler to touch. "You’re burning. I'm going to get you a cool cloth," he rushes off with the thermometer in hand.
In the bathroom again he rinses the thermometer and sticks it under his own tongue. When it beeps, he reads 39.0 degrees. Wooyoung still has a higher fever. So he needs more attention. He returns with a bowl of ice water and a washcloth. He takes good care to ring it out and places it carefully on Wooyoung's head.
"Rest up, now. I'll fix you something to eat, then you can take medicine and have a shower. The bedsheets need to be changed anyway." San dictates a pretty organized plan, though he has low hopes of the success rate.
"Choi San, my guardian angel," Wooyoung slurs with a thick sniffle. "I love you," he puckers his lips expectantly.
"I love you too." San resists the urge again to kiss his sickly boyfriend. Instead he pats Wooyoung's thigh and exits the bedroom. Their living room futon has never looked more inviting. He throws himself onto it, completely spent.
He wants to be the doting boyfriend Wooyoung deserves him to be. But his own illness is catching up to him disapointingly quickly. With Wooyoung napping, he's bought himself time to rest. He thinks about cooking something, but the thought of being around food enrages his stomach. And his head feels trapped in a thick fog. He can't guarantee his own safety in the kitchen.
So he opens the delivery app on his phone and orders some comfort foods to be dropped off at the door. As soon as he sees the confirmation screen, his eyes slip closed entering into a restless sleep.
Alone in the bedroom, Wooyoung is feeling a little disappointed. San is doing a great job at taking care of him. He's unknowingly showing off his gentler, domestic side to their fans. But there's been a severe lack of cuddling. San didn't even kiss him in greeting. San always kisses him after a business trip, to make up for all the missed kisses while he was away. He even rejected Wooyoung's kiss request. Physical touch is Wooyoung's primary love language. And San's not being very physical affectionate.
In their four years together, Wooyoung has gotten sick more times than he can count. And without fail San had always cuddled with him. San never withheld kisses out of fear for his own health. San never ever left him alone to nap. The thought flickers through his mind that San is onto his trick, but he dismisses it. Impossible, he's been in-character the whole time. He just needs to up the ante for more attention.
He uncovers the hidden jar of fake vomit, ready to draw back San's attention. He opens the lid. And after a few wet sounding coughs, he loudly pours the contents into the empty bucket. The sound echoes, and the stench of the chunky liquid is even worse after a night of fermenting. The acid smell almost makes his eyes water. But at least the next few coughs are real, gagging on the stench. It helps make the whole presentation more believable.
San wakes to the sound of liquid hitting plastic, and jumps up when he hears Wooyoung coughing. It doesn't take long for him to piece the two together, despite his fevered haze. And he's in the bedroom before he even realizes his legs moved. He sees Wooyoung cradling the bucket in his lap, face over the rim and spitting into it. His breathing is ragged, exhausted.
"Hyung," Wooyoung whimpers, "I threw up again. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."
The whole experience is too much for San's senses. The smell turns his stomach, Wooyoung's high pitched voice which he usually loves rattles a new headache. He suddenly feels too hot and too cold at the same time, feels a fat bead of sweat drip toward his brow. But Wooyoung needs him.
He takes two clumsy steps before he bends at the waist, vomiting whatever’s left in his stomach onto the foot of their bed.
For the first time, Wooyoung breaks character. San's never been one to get sympathy sick. So Wooyoung immediately knows it’s an expression of illness. He spares a millisecond glance to the camouflaged camera before rounding the bed, grabbing San before he collapses into his own mess.
"Wooyoung," San sputters, a line of saliva dangling from his lips. Wooyoung's arms are wrapped around his waist, the only thing keeping him upright. He tries to pull himself away, using the edge of the bed for support. "Get back in bed. I'm okay."
"No you're not, hyung. You just threw up." Wooyoung is not the strongest, but he has no trouble escorting San to his side of the bed. He gets San to lean against the headboard, away from the vomit stain. "Will you throw up again?" Before San has a chance to answer, the younger walks over to pick up the bucket filled with his fake vomit just in case.
San lets out a belch as the smell wafts before him, but it's dry and unproductive. He shakes his head at the question, assumingly empty, and turns his nose away from the foul smelling bucket. He's convinced he'll feel better once it's gone.
Wooyoung takes the hint and sets the bucket aside to be cleaned later. He presses the back of his hand to the older's forehead. "Sannie, you're burning up!"
"It's jetlag," he scripts despite how ridiculous it sounds. When Wooyoung doesn’t budge, he quickly changes tactics. "You're sick too. You shouldn't be worrying about me."
There's a lump in Wooyoung's throat and a guilty look in his eye. This wasn't how he'd envisioned the content to turn out. This wasn't how he wanted to reveal the prank. He feels real nausea from the guilt, but fights it back and confronts the truth, "I'm actually not sick, Sannie." His cheeks flood red with embarrassment, "I wanted to do a prank video. For our channel."
"But the vomit?"
"It's just a combination of vinegar, milk, and bread."
"I took your temperature. You were over 39 degrees."
"The thermometer isn't accurate. I bought it for the prank." Wooyoung scurries off to the bathroom and San notices there's not a falter to his step. He comes back with their actual thermometer. He puts the tip in his ear and waits for the beep. "See, 36.9."
San still looks unconvinced. "The sniffling," Wooyoung exposes the lint baggie. "And the sweating," Wooyoung presents the mist bottle.
San's eyes widen, then sharpen into a glare as he scans the room for the camera. He catches a small glimpse of a reflective surface tucked into their accent plant and points at it. "How long have you been filming?"
Wooyoung's head hangs in shame. He fidgets with his fingers in his lap, unsure of anything else to do with them. Instinct kicks in and he wants to put his hands on San, but he’s sure the older doesn’t want that right now. "Since you got home."
San pouts. He's exhausted as his illness settles in. He craves Wooyoung's nurturing. But he's simultaneously angry at Wooyoung for needlessly worrying him. It's a war inside his head that brings a pulsing pain with each new thought. "I'm going to take a shower." He throws his legs over the edge of the bed, squinting his eyes as dizziness sweeps over him.
"Do you need my help?" Wooyoung offers, also noticing that San is in no condition to escort himself. Out of habit, he wraps an arm around San's shoulders to support him. But San just shrugs him off, hoisting himself off the bed and slowly making his way to their bathroom. Wooyoung takes the hint, despite how much it hurts. He gives San space.
While San's in the shower, Wooyoung tidies the bedroom. He removes the soiled bed sheets and replaces them with a fresh pair. He discards his props, and sets up San's night stand with the necessities. Amidst the chores, Wooyoung hears their doorbell and finds the food San had ordered hanging from the handle. The blonde smiles at the two containers of samgyetang.
San emerges from the bathroom dressed in his comfy lounge wear. He doesn't smell vomit when he enters the bedroom, which is a relief. The bedding is changed, turned down on his side, and he settles right in. Wooyoung had everything set up for him. There's medicine on the nightstand. The bucket has been cleaned again and set down for emergencies. And their real thermometer is leaning against his reading lamp. The only thing missing is Wooyoung.
Maybe Wooyoung really left him alone to take care of himself. He knows Wooyoung would never do that, but the thought still stings. He curls up under the covers and tells himself that Wooyoung didn't do anything wrong. He tells himself that Wooyoung wouldn’t have tried to prank him if he’d known. He convinces himself not to be mad at his best friend. He even blames himself for not telling Wooyoung he’d gotten sick during the trip. Thinking about it nearly pulls him to tears.
Wooyoung enters the room slowly, carrying a lap tray. "Do you mind if I come in?" He asks cautiously from the doorway. San, nearly on the verge of sleep, perks up at the sound of Wooyoung's voice. "If you need time, I get it. I just want to make sure you eat something. You won’t feel better on an empty stomach." The small laugh that follows is the most awkward sound San has ever heard.
"Come here," the older encourages, scooting a bit to make room for Wooyoung.
Wooyoung tries not to feel too excited as he carries the tray inside. He's still feeling guilty about how everything turned out. He needs to make amends. He sets the tray off to the side and sits on the bed. "I'm so sorry, Sannie-hyung. I didn't mean to overwork you. What can I do to make it up to you?"
San shuffles under covers, a mischievous look on his face. He nudges Wooyoung with his knee until he falls off the edge landing with a thud on the ground. The older chuckles a bit at the pout on Wooyoung's face. It makes him feel just a little bit better. Reminds him of why he loves the high-maintenance blonde. "You can start by taking care of me," he shivers, "I’m too tired to stay mad at you.”
Wooyoung hops off the floor and climbs beside San is the bed, cuddling him and playing with his hair. He leaves feather light kisses against his boyfriend's warm forehead. "Of course I'll take care of you, Sannie. You're in good hands."
San hums in content, closing his eyes and nuzzling into Wooyoung's chest. "Can I keep filming? I want all of our fans to know that I can take really good care of you, too." Wooyoung asks, eyeing the discrete camera that's already captured the whole altercation.
San smirks. Wooyoung always bounces back so quickly. It's an endearing quality. "As long as you include the earlier footage of you apologizing to me for faking."
Wooyoung is never too proud to admit his mistakes. Another endearing quality. "Guess we'll split this episode into two parts then." He looks at the camera, then at San again. The older nuzzles close to him. Wooyoung reaches for the bowl without disturbing San’s position. When Wooyoung holds out the full spoon, San just opens his mouth expectantly.
San eats half the bowl before he can’t stomach any more. He starts to doze off, so Wooyoung quickly gets him to take a dose of medicine. San’s compliant as ever, ready to snuggle up with Wooyoung and sleep until he feels better. Wooyoung whispers, not enough for the camera to hear, "Just rest now. I'll be right here." San believes him.

A/N: A woosan fic, as promised. Though I must admit, not the one I was working on when I first said I was writing one. I found a new guilty pleasure and had to write a fic about it. I'll be the first to admit I'm not totally satisfied with it. I've been fidgeting with this fic for weeks. I feel rusty after not writing anything for so long. But hopefully getting back into it will help me regain my confidence. So let's see how this goes.
As always, thanks for reading to the end! I really appreciate each and every one of you who make it this far! Feedback is always appreciated. And please let me know if I missed any tags or TWs. Please call me out for any errors you notice!
