You coughed and grimaced. Your throat was scratchy and that was not the best feeling in the world. You wanted to throw up and to throw a fit at everyone and everything that bothered you. Your eyes could barely open and they were half crusted by whatever nasty sleep residue that was left behind.

            You wanted to talk but you couldn’t and you wanted to move but even that hurt. You wanted to roll your eyes and complain but all of that took too much energy. You sighed and flopped back on the bed, grabbing your phone.

            “Jongup,” you rasped into the speaker. “When are you going to be home?”

            He sighed. “It’ll take a while, baby. I promise that I’ll bring home hot soup and something for your throat too. Himchan-hyung recommended the most amazing medicine. Just close your eyes and rest.”

            “But I want to cuddle.”

            He laughed and you were instantly warmed by the familiar sound. “You mean, you want to spread your nasty germs to me because misery loves company?”

            You pouted. “No, why would I want you sick when you have stages to perform? Dear, you think too lowly of me.”

            “Shh, I was only teasing. Now stop talking and rest your throat. I don’t want to wake up in the morning to my grandmother. It might just scare me.” You tried to laugh but only sounded like a braying horse and clamped your mouth shut. “Love you, I have to go.”

            You shut your phone and closed your eyes, snuggling into your pillow. You struggled to find a cool spot and tossed and turned. It took a while before you finally felt yourself drift away into a fitful slumber. You had wild dreams of different shapes and angles and random colors exploding.

            Jongup sat in his chair in the waiting room. He knew that you were sick and it pained him to be so far away from you when he should be taking care of his princess. He bit his lips and decided to make a surprise video for you. The thought excited him. You had always been the one who did the little things for him and now it was his turn.

            Jongup moved carefully as to not disturb the pins in his hair. He carefully placed Youngjae’s iPad on a stand in front of him and clicked on the camera app. He flipped it as to self-facing camera and grinned.

            Youngjae walked by. “What are you doing with my iPad?”

            He looked up at his hyung and smiled his regular innocent smile. “Doing something for my girlfriend.”

            The older boy’s eyes narrowed. “As long as you don’t take off your shirt, I’ll be fine.”

            Jongup the microphone and cleared his throat. “Hey baby! I know you’re feeling miserable and sickie, so I decided to do this while we wait. Keke, the stage is really taking a long time and I know that you’re probably sick and tired of waiting for it to air live, right? But I promise to give you many surprises during the show! Please ancitipate the ending.

            “But, honestly. Please feel better. I know that you got sick because you were busy chasing your baby cousins around during the family reunion. I did chase after you with my jacket, but you never listened to me. I guess, I will just ramble for a few minutes before Youngjae-hyung demands his iPad back.”

            There was a pause and then Jongup reached behind him, pulling up Brownie. “I know you have a thing for Brownie. Sometimes I get jealous and wonder if you like him more or if you like me. You were so excited when you sat in the first row the day we first used Brownie. B.A.P and Brownie forever hwaiting!  Brownie wants to tell you that he’s fine.”

            Jongup touched the stuffed husky affectionately. “Keke, look! Brownie wants to fight with me for dominance. Argh!” He opened Brownie’s mouth and playfully stuck his finger inside. “Gah, Brownie is winning! Please send me your love and strength so I can win!” Jongup pretended to grimace as he pulled his finger back out.

            Then he did the victory dance from Crash. “Victory! For who? For Jong-puppy!” He used the nickname that you had given to him and smiled. “Gotta go. I’ll send this to you and you can watch it while you wait for our performance! Love you~” he blew a kiss at the screen and saved it to a file before sending it to your phone.

            In your misery, you were unable to sleep deeply. You heard a ping as your phone went off with a notification and checked it. There was a video message from Jongup. You sat up groggily and watched it.

            “Hey baby! I know you’re feeling miserable and sickie,” you laughed as you watched him go through his dorky movements. Your heart melted and you tried not to laugh too hard. Your chest still hurt from hacking.

            By the time the video ended and you caught his kiss, your cheeks hurt from grinning too widely. Jongup was adorable, and you loved your boyfriend to bits.

            “Next up is B.A.P’s Crash!” The announcement sounded and you turned your attention to the television. You watched for his small movements and smiled when at the end, he held hands with Zelo and grinned towards the camera. You could have sworn he winked and you waved at the screen, making a mental note to thank him later.
