Baekhyun opens his eyes groggily, eyelids heavy with exhaustion and fatigue. He uses a pale hand to wipe the crust out from his eyes. He turns his head to the source of his sudden awakening, in the direction of their dorm's bathroom. Baekhyun swings his sweatpant-clad legs off the bed, slipping out the door and pads his way down to the bathroom. Light streams out through the gaps between the door and doorframe, and Baekhyun scratches his head, rapping his knuckles against the mahogany door.

"Hellooo, whos here? I heard some noises from here that woke me up, so hurry up kay? We have an interview tomorrow, you've gotta go to bed." Baekhyun speaks gaily to the unknown person inside.

He hears a gasp, a few coughs and thuds, and splashing sounds, followed by silence. Then, finally, a quiet, "Go away. Please." Concern itches at the back of Baekhyuns usually jovial and carefree mind, and he slowly swings the door open.

His heart clenches at the sight in front of him. Their maknae, their baby, their youngest brother, one of their strongest brothers. Sehun was on his knees, crouched over the porcelain toilet bowl, clad in a grey tshirt and sweats that were drenched in sweat. His face was paler than usual, short black hair tousled and damp. But what got Baekhyun almost on the verge of tears was what his precious maknae was doing. Every few seconds, he would retch violently into the toilet bowl, eyes scrunched up in pain, arm wrapped over his stomach in a meagre attempt to stop the pain. Then, he would straighten up, only to choke and splutter, sobs wracking through his thin frame, tears escaping his eyes. 

Upon seeing his hyung enter the bathroom, he whipped his head around to stare at him in shame, eyes wide and glassy, looking so hurt and in pain  and damp hair plastered over his eyes. Baekhyun walks over to him and pulls him into a hug, gripping the back of his soaking wet shirt. He pulls away, grabbing a nearby towel and mopping Sehun's sweat and tear-drenched face. The younger whimpers, eyes closed and leaning into the gentle touch. 

"How long have you been in here for?" Baekhyun looks at his dongsaeng, only for Sehun to have another vomiting fit, straightening up soon after to gasp, and answer softly, "About an hour I guess?"

His hyung's eyes widen, and Baekhyun proceeds to sit down next to Sehun, eyes pained, but insistent. He wraps his arm around Sehun, squeezing gently and mopping his lips and forehead quietly everytime bile and vomit spew out horrendously from Sehun's mouth.

After about 20 minutes though, worry scratches at his mind. "Eh, this has been going on for way too long, whats wrong with him?" He thinks.

Baekhyun nudges the younger, "You okay with me calling Suho or someone else? You're really sick, I think we have to bring you to the hospital." Upon hearing this, Sehun shakes his head vigorously, only for Baekhyun to sigh and chuckle, muttering, "Sorry buddy, you don't really have a choice, this is getting worse. And I think you have a fever." Baekhyun adds thoughtfully, extending a hand to touch Sehun's forehead and standing up. Sehun whimpers again, fingers fumbling with Baekhyun's shirt to tug him  back down. Baekhyun gently removes his hand, smiling sadly down at him, and pads out of the bathroom, heading to the room belonging to Suho and Sehun. 

"Hyung.....hyunggg" He whispers urgently, shaking said hyung softly on the shoulder. Suho stirs, eyes cracking open, bolting upright comically, mattress creaking underneath him. Baekhyun stifles a snigger, ever the carefree one in times of crisis. "Sehunnie's in the toilet, he's really sick, I found him vomiting there a while ago, I think we need to call an ambulance? It's serious." Baekhyun rambles. Suho immediately gets up, sweeping his brown hair out of his eyes. Baekhyun trails behind, and is startled by a thud, and he spins around looking for the source, only to discover Chanyeol, groggy and emerging out of his room. Hand dramatically on his heart, he cries, "What the heck you actual piece of...you scared me!"

"Stop being dramatic Baek, what's the commotion?" 

Sighing, Baekhyun leads the way while explaining to Chanyeol, and the demeanour of the latter changes almost immediately, eyes laced with concern. Suho quietly slips through the slightly ajar door of the bathroom, having the same initial reaction of Baekhyun, and pulls his roomate into a hug, while patting his back and whispering into Sehun's ear.
