He's sick.
Ah, fuck.. What's he gonna do now? He knows for sure that Haejoon.. he's probably gonna make a big fuckin' deal out of it! Especially since he's injured right now too.. Ugh, with the headache he had right now, he isn't in the right mood to deal with him or Juwan.
Eunyung placed a hand on his head, it felt a little warm. He huddled closer in his blanket, did he always feel this cold? When was the last time he got this sick? Usually when he got sick he'd just skip school and spend the rest of the day sleeping or playing games.. But fuck, even if he wanted to hang out with friends or what not, he felt like shit, his head throbbed so bad and no matter how he tried to warm himself up, it was no use.
He's really, really sick. It must've been from one of his wounds, even if Haejoon cleaned it it still might've given him an infection or whatever.. he sighed, it was a weekend too.. Now he has to spend the rest of his weekend in bed! Atleast it isn't a total waste, Eunyung thought, he could just sleep the day away, and sleeping on the weekends.. it doesn't seem that bad.
Okay. The only plan he has today now is sleep, when he wakes up, he's probably gonna feel like he's starving to death but he'll just get up and have a quick snack. He'll be fiiine, he's dealt with taking care of himself while he was sick before. Everything was gonna be just fine.
Unfortunately for Eunyung, the nap he was intending on doing only lasted about 30 minutes until Juwan, he thinks, came into his room. Not like he was the one who woke him up, he actually woke up randomly and when he tried to get up, his whole body ached, so the only option he had left was to stare at the ceiling of the top bunk and hope it might bore him to sleep. The sound of Juwam opening his door just woke him up a little more.
When he saw who actually entered his room he immediately shifted himself to look away despite doing so making his body ache, hopefully giving away a good act of himself sleeping.
How..
How was he supposed to face Haejoon after what he, no, they did yesterday!? It was out of spite, an inpulsive thought, he's convinced himself it was. It's not like Eunyung likes him, well not in that way, but still! He could feel hinself panicking on what to do as Haejoon's footsteps only got closer and closer.
“Hey, Eunyung.” Haejoon said, and it shouldn't have, but hearing his voice somewhat made him feel more relieved, “Are.. are you okay? I wanted to check on your wounds.”
“... I'm fine,” It took a while for Eunyung to decide whether or not he should stay pretending to sleep or convince Haejoon to go away. “Just a little tired, that's.. that's all.”
“Are you sure? You don't sound okay, your voice is kind of raspy..” Haejoon said, placing his hand on one of Eunyung's shoulder that wasn't in the blanket and he regrets that he didn't remember how dense Haejoon could be. “What the.. You're burning up!”
“Uh-huh.” Eunyung could only sigh and muster up that one reply as he turned and laid down on his back, giving the arm he was laying on a break. Haejoon's stare pierced right through him, but he can't really do anything about it.
“Do you know how hot you are right now? You probably can't take care of yourself in this temperature,” Haejoon said, and Eunyung tries to search for a drop of worry in it. Maybe it's because he's sick, but he sounds more worried than Eunyung expected him to be. “Do you want me to take care of you..?”
“Yeaah, I know.. I'm really hot..” Eunyung said in a breathy voice as he laid one of his hands on top of his forehead. It feels normal, but to anyone else it's probably really warm. He manages a smile and a small chuckle. “Girls always throw themselves at me..”
“Answer the question.” Haejoon scowls sourly at the joke, furrowing his eyebrows and he shooed Eunyung's hand away, placing his own onto his forehead just to confirm. Yup, it was definitely above the usual average temperature.
“You.. already took care of me yesterday, I'll take care of myself today..” Eunyung said, trying to convince Haejoon with a smile but it didn't seem to effect the other anyway. “I'll just sleep the day away, alright? I'll be fine tomorrow..”
“As if. You've got to eat, you know that, right? Wait here, I'll get a cooling patch.” Haejoon said and got up to leave, even with Eunyung's small protests not to. He could only sigh and lay back down and closed his eyes, not like it helped him fall asleep, he had a headache and it was preventing him to.
“Of course I know that..”
-
Eunyung doesn't know when or even how he fell asleep, but he did, and when he finally decides to come to his senses he opens his eyes a little. He can feel the cooling patch on his forehead, it's cool but not cold. His window is open and he notices he has two blankets covering him, if he had to guess, the other is probably from the top bunk.
He notices Haejoon sitting at his desk that he only ever uses to play games or eat at. Eunyung groans and tries to sit up, but ultimately fails as his whole body ached and he soon realized the hunger pooling in his stomach. Not that he minded though, he was used to hunger, just not his entire body aching. Gah.. what did he do that made himself so sick..
“Oh, you're awake.” Haejoon said while turning his chair, he tries to steal a peek of what he's doing and he sees a few books and some notebooks. Eunyung isn't surprised that he was studying, it's all Haejoon basically does when he has free time. “You must've been pretty tired, huh, it's two in the afternoon right now. Juwan made you some porridge earlier, I'll go get it.”
“Wait, you don't need to, I'm just gonna go back to- sleep-..” Eunyung said with a sigh, his voice trailing off as Haejoon ignored him and went to go get his food anyways. Why did he care so much anyway?
“Here.” Haejoon returned with a tray, on it was a bowl of the porridge and water in a cup. He placed the tray on the desk and turned, watching as Eunyung struggled to sit up, groaning as he tried to rest his back on the wall. “Uh.. You need any help?”
“No-.. No.. I got thiss..” Eunyung groaned out as he finally, slumped his back fully on the wall, sitting upright. Haejoon brought the tray over, placing it on Eunyung's lap.
“You don't need me to feed you, do you..?” Haejoon asked nervously, hoping the question didn't come off as rude. It's not like he didn't want to feed Eunyung, he was just unsure if it would be okay if he did that, considering their relationship..
“... Uh..” Eunyung said, hesitating and stretchjng his right arm a little. It was sore, but it wasn't unbearable enough that he couldn't scoop his own food. “I can do it, but..”
“But?”
“You do it for me..” Eunyung somewhat asked and joked, his head resting more on the wall as the tray jiggled a little. Haejoon held the bowl, worried that it would spill all over the sheets. “Oh, you're really gonna?”
“No. Feed yourself, asshole.” Haejoon scowled, but seeing as Eunyung just stared at his food and had his eyes on the spoon, still not reaching out for it. He sighed, not the looking-at-him-like-he-was-garbage-sigh, and grabbed the spoon, scooping some porridge and bringing it close to Eunyung's face.
“Not even gonna say 'ahh'?” Eunyung chuckled, but leaned in away and ate it. It took a while, but eventually they finally finished. He feels guilty for getting so sick, no, regrets getting sick.. Having Haejoon feed him like that felt humiliating! He didn't know why he felt so embarassed but he was!
“I'll go put these in the sink and get you some medicine.” Haejoon said, picking up the tray and stealing a glance of Eunyung, who was already curling back up into his blanket, sweating as his eyes had small bags under them.
“I told you, it's fine.. I'll just sleep the day away..” Eunyung grumbled, his face flushed all red. He could only stare back at Haejoon, who had the same scary aura as usual.
“You can sleep the day away after taking your medicine then.” Haejoon replied before leaving the room. He soon came back with a cup of water and a pill, that Eunyung could only expect to be a fever pill.. or whatever it could be.
He reluctantly drank the pill down, sighing and slumping onto his bed. Eunyung closed his eyes but it felt useless to, as he wasn't going to fall asleep that easily. He was just gonna have to lay down and have his eyes shut until he eventually passes out.
“... What the fuuck are you doing?” Eunyung asked, as Haejoon joined the blanket, he felt his shirt lifted up and something pressing against the bandages covering his wounds. Was he poking his wounds? That fucker.. Eunyung opened his eyes, only seeing a bump underneath his blanket so he pulled the cloth up, revealing Haejoon underneath.
Haejoon could only say silent as he leaned in and gave another one of the bruises a short peck. Oh, so he's doing that. Eunyung felt relieved that he wasn't just poking at it.
“Are you givin' the boo-boos a kiss..?” Eunyung laughed, furrowing his brows in confusion as he lifted the blanket higher, trying to get a better look at what the hell Haejoon was doing.
“I'm checking your wounds. Why, do you not like it?” Haejoon asked, still leaned near the bandages on Eunyung's stomach, and he couldn't deny that he felt himself shiver a little as Haejoon's hot breath hit his skin. How was he not supposed to feel embarassed at that??
“The.. the problem is I do like it..” Eunyung admitted, to Haejoon and himself, and they stayed staring at eachother for a few minutes. Eunyung could tell that Haejoon was thinking hard as they looked at eachother, meanwhile himself was just thinking of nothing.
“... Okay.” Haejoon said quietly, leaning more and giving the other bandages kisses, grabbing Eunyung's arms and giving the bruises in there kisses too. Eunyung had no idea how to feel at the situation, maybe it's the fever, or maybe he's just panicking.
“I have some on my face too, y'know.” Eunyung blurted out all of a sudden, a smug yet nervous look on his face. He watched as Haejoon lookes at him before turning away.
“You... don't.. ugh, fine.” Haejoon stammered, leaning in to Eunyung's face and giving the bruises short and small pecks. Eunyung hopes that Haejoon thinks the sweat and red face is just from his fever, because currently, that's not what's causing it. He lets out a soft sigh when Haejoon kisses a bruise on his cheek.
“I got one on my lips too!” Eunyung exclaimed in a joking manner.
“I'm not doing that.” Haejoon dismissed the suggestion quickly, avoiding his gaze as he got a wet rag from the bowl on the floor, that Eunyung didn't even notice was there.
“Aw come on.. Why not~?” Eunyung teased, letting out a small yelp as Haejoon starts wiping his body, and Eunyung only realizes how sweaty he was. Must be from his fever.
“I don't know if you've forgotten, but you're still sick.” Haejoon explained, sticking his hands into Eunyung's pants and ignoring the second yelp of surprise. He would've pulled his pants down to wipe it better, but Haejoon didn't think that either of them could take on that.

After that, Eunyung gladly spent another few hours sleeping. He would've played games to kill time but Haejoon had hid his phone and even if he called Juwan over and begged him to sneak his nintendo so he could play with it, Juwan still refused. He felt frustrated since he was technically just sleeping all day! Except when he got up to eat, drink water, go to the bathroom, or try to look for his phone, but still!
“Hey. I'm gonna sleep on the top bunk.” Haejoon announced, standing up from Eunyung's desk. Of course he was studying, it was like his only hobby. Not to mention, he practically followed Eunyung around all day like a puppy whenever he got up. The medicine had worked and he had less of a headache and less of a sore body.
“Oh, sure, go ahead..” Eunyung breathed out, watching Haejoon start climbing upstairs. Eunyung didn't know how he was gonna sleep through the night since he practically slept through the day already, but he could probably manage.
A few moments of silence followed. Eunyung didn't mind, but he kind of wished he had his phone to listen to music to. The silence was killing him.
“Let me sleep with you guys! It's so scary sleeping alone whilst you two are huddled in this room together!” Juwan suddenly barged into the room, holding a pillow and Eunyung felt his nerve pop in annoyance.
“Get out!”
