since forever, your brother, heeseung, and his best friend, sunghoon, have been practically inseparable. you didn't exactly get along with your brother, but most of it was just lighthearted banter, nothing serious.

both your brother and your parents were currently on a trip to seoul and wouldn't be back for a while. you, however, just so happened to have the worst luck—you got sick. of course, you weren't going to tell your family—that'd just make them worried.

you swore you could take care of yourself—that is, until today. your head hurt so incredibly bad that you almost felt like passing out.

you slowly got out of your bed to get a glass of water, almost tripping over your own feet in the process. you dragged your feet across the living room floor, and all of a sudden you felt really lightheaded. objects blurred together, and everything almost seemed to spin around in circles. just like that, you dropped to the floor unconscious.

meanwhile, sunghoon was walking up to your front door, keys in his hand. your place was like a second home to him, and he traveled in between both houses as if it were the most normal thing to do. he unlocked the door with a flick of his wrist, and walked in thinking that heeseung would be home. he caught sight of you on the floor and immediately rushed over to you, not knowing what to do.

he scooped you up in his arms and stayed like that for a bit, until you woke up a few minutes later. your eyes fluttered open, and you could see the instant relief in his eyes as he gently placed a hand over your forehead.

"you're burning up." he whispered quietly, pulling you closer to him.
