Saeran
“Are you okay, Saeran?” MC asked, “You don’t look so good.”
Saeran was sick. He actually got sick quite often and just tried to hide it from them. “I’m fine, MC. I’m just a little tired.”
“You really shouldn’t be staying up so late every night. It isn’t healthy.”
“Yeah, okay.” He smiled.
Saeran avoided them for most of the day and just hung out in the bedroom. Whenever they’d try to get close to him, he’d come up with an excuse to leave the room and MC was getting worried. It's not that he really minded if they found out, he just didn't want to worry them. He also didn't want to risk them getting sick as well. Saeran sat in bed, watching TV, MC having left earlier to buy groceries. As much as he tried to fight it, his eyelids became heavy and he eventually fell asleep.
“I wonder what’s gotten into Saeran,” MC thought as they walked home. Saeran had been acting strange all day, and they were getting worried. Of course Saeran did this quite often, but it didn’t mean that it ever became easier for them. MC decided to check on him again. “Saeran?” MC asked, as they knocked on the door, “Are you okay in there?” MC opened the door to find him fast asleep. MC smiled and decided to help him get more comfortable.
When they touched him however, they were surprised to find that he was burning up. No wonder he’s been acting strange all day. MC thought. They adjusted him so that he was lying down properly and tucked him in. He barely even stirred. MC then brushed some hair out of his face and kissed his forehead. Poor baby. MC then went to look for anything that would make Saaeran more comfortable.
Saeran woke up a while later, to find a wet washcloth on his forehead. MC just came back into the room with some chicken soup and juice. MC noticed him. “Oh, you’re awake.” They smiled as he tried to sit up. “Don’t get up too fast, now. You might get dizzy.” MC set the soup beside him.
“What’s going on?” He asked.
“I noticed you were sick when I got home, so I decided to get you some things that might make you feel better.” MC gave him the jacket they prepared. “Here, you should eat this,” they said and began to feed him. He was awkward about it at first, but appreciated that they were trying their best and let them.
Saeran wasn’t really used to anyone taking care of him when he was sick, he actually used to get in trouble whenever he was, and Saeyoung would get punished as well whenever he tried. Saeran watched as MC waited on him hand and foot, doing everything they could to make him feel better. He’d never say it out loud, but it was actually really cute.
MC insisted on lying in bed with him so he would feel better, and wouldn’t listen to his protests or concerns about them getting sick. MC smiled up at him, “Feeling better?”
Saeran nodded. “Thank you, for taking care of me.” Saeran blushed, looking away.
MC just smiled and snuggled in closer.
