“Baby, you’re burning up,” Jeongin spoke softly to your just awoken form, his hand softly placed over your forehead.
“Mm, I’m fine love” you responded, voice laced with sleep and congestion. You were most certainly not fine. You could already feel your raging fever and you weren’t even sure if you could sit up. But the last thing you wanted was to worry your loving partner, he had practice later, and you didn’t want to distract him with all the crazy comeback schedules thrown his way.
“I don’t think you are, you can barely talk.” He responded, shifting and sitting up in your shared bed. “I’m getting you some water and a fever reducer and you’re going to take them, whether you like it or not.” You whined at his words, taking meds was one of your least favorite things to do. The bed dipped as he climbed out and you continued to lay there, watching Jeongin’s figure open the bedroom door and step out.
After a few minutes he came back, glass of ice cold water and 2 pills in hand. You just observed tiredly as he sat back down on the bed and looked over at you.“ Come on y/n, you’ve gotta sit up” You hated that he was worrying over you, but you also knew how much he loved to provide, so you relented and slowly pushed yourself into a sitting position, your boyfriend's hand immediately reaching to your back to help support the movement. Even just sitting up you felt weak, it was extremely unpleasant. Your hand shook lightly as it reached over to grab your meds and water, which Jeongin quickly noticed.
“Here baby, let me help” He spoke as he moved closer to you, landing nearly in your lap. He motioned for you to open your mouth, and you listened as he carefully slipped the pills onto your tongue and held the water to your lips for you to drink. After choking them down, he put the water on his nightstand and put his hands over yours. Allowing some time to pass in silence.
“Jeongin, it’s almost time for your practice.” You choke out, breaking the quiet.
“I’m not going today, I gotta take care of you.” He responded matter of factly.
“I’ll be okay sweetheart, I don’t want to keep you from work, I know how busy things are.”
“You were literally shaking trying to drink some water, no way I’m leaving you alone. You’re not feeling well baby. Let me take care of you.” You nearly started sobbing with those words. God it was such a beautiful thing to be loved. You can’t even begin to imagine how you scored such a beautiful soul.
“I love you. So much.” You told him, unable to make eye contact. He blushed at that, eyes darting to the mattress.
“I love you too, love” He whispered. Hand squeezing yours with the gentleness of a morning breeze. As if you were something he was gonna break from loving too intensely. He brought himself closer to you and carefully looped his arms around your waist, slowly lowering you back onto the bed. “Now get some rest honey okay? It’ll help you feel better, I’ll go make some breakfast-”, you muster up all your strength to pull him down to the bed next to you.
“Can you stay? I just, I don’t want to be alone.” You plead, puppy dog eyes melting his heart.
“Of course my love.” He says as he turns to face you, slinging a leg and an arm around you and pulling you closer to him until your bodies are touching, hugging you like he never wants to let go. You cling to him in response, his warmth and love radiating into your soul, and regulating your temperature. He presses a soft kiss to the top of your head which lulls you into a deep, comfortable sleep.
You felt so lucky to be loved.
