“Shouldn’t Y/N be up by now?” Sunwoo asked the next morning. “I’m starting to get hungry.”

“She should...I’ll go check on her”, I said and stood up from the spot we sat.

I walked over to Y/N’s door and knocked. When I didn’t get an answer, I opened and went inside. She was still sleeping and I took a moment to watch her features. She was beautiful, no doubt. I forgot why I was there for a moment, I was mesmerized by how peaceful she looked.

Right. I was going to check up on her.

I sat down on the bed and took her hand, shaking it slightly.

“Y/N…”, I said quietly. “Wake up.”

“Hmm?” she asked tiredly, not opening her eyes.

“You don’t usually sleep this long...we’re hungry…”

“Oh, gosh, sorry...I’ll come now.”

She stood up but I noticed that something seemed wrong. She seemed weak. She stumbled slightly, trying to get away from the bed, so I grabbed her arm and held her up.

“Are you okay, Y/N?”

“I feel a little sick, but it’s nothing.”

“I’ll help you down to the kitchen.”

I scooped her up in my arms and walked downstairs, knowing that if she was weak, she shouldn’t walk down the stairs. The risk of her falling would be too big.

“Y/N!” Sunwoo breathed out in worry and hurried over to me. “What happened?”

“Nothing”, I said. “SHe seems to be a little sick. Her legs aren’t so strong."

“Oh...t-that’s fine! Come here, I’ll fix a chair so you can make breakfast for us.”

“You really should learn how to cook”, Y/N sighed.

“Why should we when you make the best food?”

—♤—

Y/N called for us a while later and when she came out into the living room, she was holding a thermometer in her hand.

“I was right. I have a fever. A pretty high one too. Thanks to that thirty minute walk in the rainstorm, I’m now sick.”

“What? No...”, Sangyeon pouted and hurried up to hug her.

“Alright, let’s get you tucked in and taken care of”, Juyeon said firmly. “Sangyeon, carry her to her bedroom.”

Sangyeon lifted her up and carried her upstairs as we all hurried after to help. All eleven were standing in her bedroom as Sangyeon tucked Y/N in.

“Do you need anything?” Changmin asked.

“I just need to rest”, Y/N said. “If I don’t, I won’t be able to go to work tomorrow. I took the day off today because I was sick. I can’t risk more.”

I poked Kevin’s shoulder and he leaned towards me so I could whisper in his ear.

“Let’s make sure she can’t rest, so she has to stay home with us”, I whispered. “She won’t be able to rest enough to heal."

“Good idea, Hak”, Kevin smirked quietly with his arms crossed.

We looked back at Y/N sadly. We didn’t want to hurt her, but we didn’t want her to be outside in that horrible weather again. What if something happened?
