Lee Chan: Part 2
Stay Strong SeventeenRigh after that converstaion, S.coups and Jeonghan got out immediately and went straight to the Maknae's room. On their way they met Hoshi "Good morning Hyung" he sweetly said.
For a second, Coups and Jeonghan passed him but then, Coups came back in a hurry "Hey SoonYoung, do you think that Chan is hiding something?"
Hoshi had this funny look on his face, he had no idea what his Hyung was talking about "W-what?" he simply answered
"You know, has he been acting strange around you or something?" JeongHan added
"N-no I don't think so" ... "Why?"
"He's acting ... weird I guess, the fact that we don't know is scaring me"
Seungcheol said before he left the puzzled Hoshi behind and started walking again toward the Maknae's room Jeonghan trailing behind him and soon enough Hoshi as well, he felt weird about the whole thing he just couldn't understand why he couldn't remember the last time he spoke to the boy even though he was with him most of the time and more than anybody else, they have more practice together, he was his Performance Team leader.
As soon as they got to the bedroom, Coups pushed the door wide open and screamed the younger's name "Dino, we need to talk" but before he could even finish his sentence he heard loud whimpers, small muffles and his eyes immediately looked for the source of the sound. Chan was on the ground and he was trying to push himself up but he wasn't able to do it. He looked weak, his face pale and sweaty.
Seeing that, S.coups, Jeonghan and Hoshi felt threatened and immediately hurried to the boy on the floor
"Chanie are you ok?" Jeonghan was the first to arrive and the first to ask now holding the younger boy by the shoulders picking him up but to his surprise, Dino looked away.
S.coups and Hoshi kneeled in front of him "What is it baby tell me" S.coups tried to ask as he examined Dino's sweaty face urgently
"Are you hurt ? Does it hurt" Hoshi added but the younger closed his eyes, swallowed thickly and bit his lips, it looked like he was about to cry
"Y-you don't love me" Dino suddenly said and the others' faces showed a puzzled expression
"Dino what are you talking about? " Hoshi was surprised he never thought that one day his maknae would say something like this
"You hate m-me"
Dino muffled before tears came down his already pale cheeks. S.coups got frozen, mouth half open, he didn't expect such a situation so he just kept staring at the weak boy falling limply in Jeonghan's embrace
"Now Chan what makes you say that?" Jeonghan asked with a gentle surprised tone as S.coups was still dumbfounded but Dino never answered.
S.coups found himself then automatically rushing his fingers toward the younger's cheeks and slowly wiping his tears away and Dino sighed at the touch
"You're warm" Coups said now feeling more alarmed "Come on let's get you on the bed" S.coups lovingly took Jeonghan's spot and lifted the smaller as if he was nothing but a small feather and then he pressed him gently on his bed.
Dino was sweating too much, "Get me some fresh clothes and warm water" S.coups looked at his side addressing the two behind him who rushed to do what the leader said. He then pulled Dino into a sitting position and started to his chirt but the younger was so stubborn " N-no" he rejected "Just leave me alone"
S.coups sighed, he took the boy's hands in his own and pressed them "Don't you ever say that again, we don't love you ? We hate you ? You're our precious Maknae you are our Dino what are you talking about?" He then pulled him closer to a hug and whispered "I'm sorry for not being a good leader, I'm sorry I made you feel this way, I'm sorry you're sick because of me"
Dino started sobbing again, this time clutching into S.coups tightly, it was obvious that the boy was so hurt not to mention sick, why would he think that his Hyungs hate him. S.coups knew it, they weren't paying attention, nobody knew that he was suffering alone.
Minutes later, Jeonghan and Hoshi came back with some clean clothes and a bowl of warm watter. S.coups broke the hug and gently wiped the boy's tears and pressed down his hands again "Now let's take these sweaty clothes off you and freshen you up a little" Chan nodded giving his hyung permission to help him take his clothes off and replacing them with clean ones after they rubbed and cleaned his torso with warm water.
"Now I need you to eat something" S.coups rubbed Dino's cheeks checking his fever again but he's still warm, he was trying to convince the younger to have something to eat and Dino was just too tired to comply.
"Here few spoons and that's all" S.coups said before he spoon fed the boy.
One spoon
Two spoons
Three spoon
"Hyung please enough" Dino said almost choking on his own food
"But you only had exactly 3 spoons Dino-ah"
Dino was breathing deeply now, he put his hand on his mouth and pushed the covers off him, he shook his head "I don't think I can ... Hyung I ..."
Without any further explanation needed, S.coups dragged the trash bin closer to Dino who immediately started heaving and violently vomiting.
