It is already quite late at night but Ken has just returned from his musical. Although he's tired and wants nothing more than to just crash into his bed and sleep, the sound that he heard as he's making his way into his room halts him. 

It sounds like Hongbin. No, to be exact, it sounds like Hongbin's whimper. 

Alert and afraid that something has happened to that dongsaeng of his, Ken quickly makes his way into Hongbin's room, whose door is luckily unlocked. 

Hongbin is on his bed, looking small as he's curled into himself and buried under his blanket. 

"Hongbin? Are you alright? "Ken asks, approaching Hongbin's figure only to have the visual whimper louder." Are you hurt somewhere? "Ken demands, pulling on the blanket to reveal Hongbin, whose eyes are clenched shut and body shaking like a leaf. 

"Are you sick? "Ken demands, putting the back of his hand on the latter's forehead to check his temperature but before he can actually feel anything, Hongbin's eyes snap open and in an instant, he slaps Ken's hand away, looking scared as if he's expecting Ken to harm him. 

"Don't touch me! "Hongbin growls, eyeing Ken warily as he pulls his blanket tighter around him. 

Taken aback, Ken could only stare at Hongbin's sweaty face. "Are you feeling fine?"he finally asks quietly as to not aggravate Hongbin's insecurity. "You're sweating and shaking, Hongbin. Are you sick? "He somewhat demands but Hongbin continues to give him no response. 

 "If you're sick I can--"

"Don't bother. Leave me alone. "Hongbin demands and Ken sighs heavily as he can somewhat guess why Hongbin's acting like this. 

"Are you angry at me for agreeing with Wonshik and Hyuk to not let you come near Hakyeon-hyung? "He asks although he already knows the answer and isn't really suprised when Hongbin continues to shut him out. 

"Fine, you can ignore me. "After waiting for response yet there's still none, Ken gives up. "I'll just get you some meds then you can deal with you
