Seongwoo dropped his friends at their apartment before he made his way to his own. Citrus had jumped to the front seat and slept there while he drove to his apartment, not that far from Minhyun's and Jonghyun's.

His thought is still onn the blonde male which later he'll go and pay him a visit. It's Sunday evening but he's not that sure whether Daniel is at his dorm or his dance studio or hanging out with his friends or maybe doing something else, of whatever Seongwoo isn't sure. Lately, Seongwoo haven't been able to finish off his book because of Daniel. His two weeks of break have kept him off his book because of Daniel. He was so sure that he never think of someone like he is thinking about Daniel. He don't, period. But Daniel have been haunting him for the whole two weeks and he couldn't think straight and worried about him, about the competitions.

Seongwoo unlocked his apartment door and closed the door once he were inside. He put his bags into his room, then to the kitchen just to fill up Citrus bowl with some crunchies since he's out of wet food for the time being and will do his groceries tomorrow.

He took a hot shower and changed into his sweatshirt and into a jogger pants, and choose to sit on his couch. He unlock his phone and quickly searched for Daniel's. He was contemplating whether he should text him or directly call the younger. Suddenly his phone starts to ring which suprised him, even almost dropping his phone on the floor. He checked the caller ID, eyes widen. It was the blonde, who is calling him. Did he have a telepathy power or something.

Seongwoo quickly answer the phone.

"Hello?" he gently said.

"Seongwoo hyung? Are you around? I mean, are you back in Seoul?" Daniel's does not sound so good but Seongwoo choose to ignore it for a while.

"Yeah, just reached my apartment."

"Ohh, sorry for disturbing you. Guess you need to rest after the long journey.." he couldn't quite catch the last part since Daniel sounded like he was forcing himself. Almost like straining.

"Daniel, you okay?" he couldn't help but to get worried about the blonde. His voice sounded too wrong.

"......" Daniel didn't reply but stay quiet over the other side of the line. Seongwoo heard a faint wheezing. 

"Daniel....Kang Daniel, are you there?" Seongwoo is getting agitated by the seconds when he keeps hearing the continous wheezing. He already stood up and ready to dashed out of his apartment to Daniel's, hands grab a hold of his jumper.

"Uhh hello? Is this Seongwoo hyung? Sorry I'm Kim Jaehwan..uhh, Daniel's roommates and bestfriend. Can you come to our dorm, hyung? I mean Seongwoo sunbae?" the person named Jaehwan asked, his voice was little shaky but still sounded calm and relax.

"Hyung is fine. Jaehwan ssi, where's Daniel? Is something wrong with him?" Seongwoo is already walking towards his front door, waiting for Jaehwan to reply him. He locked his front door once he's out and already walking out of his apartment building.

"Uhh, yeah. Daniel is having a high fever right now. He's is a pretty bad shape and I've already told him to eat his meds and told him to rest. I'm....right now he just fainted, uhh...yeah. Sunbae...I mean hyung, please hurry. Since he called you, I guess you're the only person that could check him out. Sorry for troubling you."

Seongwoo sprinted across the campus, asking for the address or what building are they staying in. Seongwoo didn't think that he could be this concerned about Daniel, especially when Jaehwan just told him that Daniel fainted while he was talking to him. 

~

Jaehwan opened the door after the door bells ring few times, letting Seongwoo to come in. "This way." he said, asking the older to follow him to Daniel's room.

Seongwoo found Daniel sleeping on his bed but he doesn't look like he's having a peaceful one. He keeps tossing and turning, sweats was visible on his face. Face flushed and he was gasping. 

"I didn't know what else to do. I already forced feed him his other meds that he hadn't taken yet and I've even wipe his body with some cold water so that his fever would ease down. Thankfully I came in to check on him when he suddenly loose consciousness while he was holding the phone and manage to caught him before he fell to the ground which was pretty hard to maintain because he's bigger than me. Gosh, he's heavy." Jaehwan occasionally whined as the thought of him carrying Daniel to bed after the big puppy fainted.

"Thanks for the info. When did he developed his fever?" Seongwoo asked without looking at Jaehwan, his feet brought him closer to Daniel, spontaneously checking on his temperature using the back of his hand, after he took off the damp cloth on his forehead. He was hot.

"I think about two days ago? He didn't tell me anything at first but I saw him taking some pills, he thought I wasn't looking. Then I confronted him yesterday and he told him he had fever but told me to not to worry much about it because he said it was not severe, then this morning he was completely out of it. His temperature suddenly spiked up and well....uhh, yeah. Sorry, don't know what else to say. I've been keeping an eye on him since this morning, cancelling all my plan with my friends just to make sure he's okay. I even told him to not go to his dance practice. He was stubborn but at least he listened to me for once. He always listened to Jisung hyung more."

Seongwoo turned to look at Jaehwan, "Jisung? Yoon Jisung seongsaenim?" Jaehwan nods his head. 

"Yeah, Yoon Jisung hyung. We're friends with him and even Choi Taewoong hyung too. You know him right?" asked Jaehwan as the shorter male walks up to Seongwoo and stood beside Daniel’s bed. Seongwoo just hum and look back to Daniel.

”Will he be okay, hyung? Since umm you’re a medical student and you must know lots of stuff about...”

Seongwoo sshh Jaehwan with his finger placed on his mouth. “He will. Don’t worry.”

Jaehwan sigh in relief by Seongwoo’s word. They both fell into a comfortable silent except for the sound of sheets moving around and Daniel’s constant panting.

”Jaehwan ssi. If you want to go out then go. I can stay and look after Daniel for you.”

Jaehwan flails his hand and shaking his head to Seongwoo, “No no, I’m good. Daniel would probably want me to be here or....” Jaehwan paused as his eyes fell on Seongwoo who was brushing off Daniel’s bang to the side and running his fingers through the blonde’s hair. He just remember that Daniel is having a major huge crush on Seongwoo and this should be a good time for them to get closer. 

“You know what, as a matter of fact, yes I’ll go out but will be back in 2 hours or so. Is that okay, Seongwoo hyung?”

Seongwoo gave him a nod without even looking at Jaehwan so the shorter male smirk. 

~

He left Daniel under Seongwoo’s care as it was requested by the older himself but not forgetting to tell Seongwoo about where to find food or Daniel’s changed of clothes, the kitchen, bathroom and all others since the older is staying over which is rare for Seongwoo to ever stay at a friend’s house.

After that, the dorm became quiet leaving only him and Daniel with Seongwoo still sitting on the bed beside Daniel. He thread his fingers along Daniel’s blonde locks. They were soft as it feels through Seongwoo's fingers. He then took the already warm wet cloth on Daniel's forehead to dip it into the new refilled cold water that was brought by Jaehwan minutes ago before the shorter male left the dorm. He squeeze the extra water out from the cloth before placing it back on top of Daniel's head, cover them up to the crown of his head. 

He watched the younger breathing getting steadier by every seconds but not completely at the normal pace yet, and occasionally Daniel stops sweating little by little but his fringe was dampen by his sweat so Seongwoo pushed back his fringe, lapping it with wet cloth. 

"I guess...I should cook for him some porridge." he said not to anyone else except himself, standing up in the process and left Daniel's room and went to the kitchen.

He checked the contained of their fridge, hopefully there is some edible ingredients for him to cook Daniel's a proper porridge. Thankfully they have a good amount of stock stashed in their vegetables partion and Seongwoo did find other ingredients he wanted to use in their top shelved cupboard as well. Seongwoo folded his sleeves up until his elbow carefully and starts with cooking the rice. The perks of living alone for 3 years and cooked for himself over all those years had paid off since now Seongwoo can cooked a proper meal for anyone and not only to himself. He can easily divide the portions and carefully washed or rinse the vegetables then cut through them in any sort of sizes or shapes.

Even though he busy himself with the porridge, Seongwoo didn't forget to make a quick trip to Daniel's room once in a while, checking if the blonde is okay or not, then continue back with his cooking when Daniel is okay.

At one point without Seongwoo knowing, Daniel had woken up by the sound of someone going through the kitchen, the colliding metal utensil made him woke up from his slumber, even though it was not a proper and the peaceful sort of slumber. His head was spinning even when he's lying on the bed. Sweats was forming still all around his face and even body. Daniel try to register where he was for a short seconds before he easily recognize the walls and the things all around the room which he is in his bedroom.

Daniel reached up to his head to where the still half cold wet cloth placed on his head. At first he didn't remember what had happen to him or when did he climb up on his bed until seconds after that he remember he's called Seongwoo asking if he was back in Seoul and then all of a sudden Daniel felt a pang of throbbing pain shooting through his head that made him passed out, like all of a sudden. He didn't end his call with Seongwoo properly. 

"Crap.." Daniel mutters, voice were croaky and it sounded like he lost half of his voice at that moment. Daniel shifted on his bed, taking off the wet cloth and placed it on his bedside table, then sat himself up.

Half way of his attempt to sat up, he paused when his eyes met with a familiar looking tall figure standing by the door with somewhat a tray of food as Daniel guessed. He was suprised to see that the familiar figure was Seongwoo when the raven haired male starts to move closer to him until his face was much more visible to Daniel's eyes. He gasped, half of his brain said that this must be a dream and he is still sleeping or maybe he just woke up in another dimension and half of his brain said that this is real and Seongwoo is really there, balancing the tray in his hand and is currently walking towards him.

Daniel pinched himself and whined when it hurts. So he't not dreaming and this is real. Seongwoo, the person whom he have been wanting to see and was missing like crazy and who he called earlier and crushing on is here, right in front of him.

~

"Hey," Seongwoo said simply when he's closed enough to Daniel, placing the tray down on his thigh when he sat on the bed. He stretched out his hand to feel Daniel's temperature with the back of his hand, and with his action made Daniel jumps a little by the sudden touch.

"Hmm, it feels better than earlier. How are you feeling?"

Daniel was still too shocked to try and respond to the older. Seongwoo waited for him to talk as he spontaneously ran his hand over Daniel's hair in a affectionate way of caring for a sick person as Daniel think.

"I cooked you a bowl of porridge. Sorry for using your kitchen without asking, but Jaehwan ssi said I could if I needed to." Seongwoo's voice was gentle and Daniel had never heard him like that.

"T-thanks." Daniel manage with his hoarse voice. His throat was burning and uncomfortable to him. Seongwoo looked at him with worried expression downing his face.

The older than starts scooping the porridge with the spoon, gently blow off the porridge to cool it off a little before offering it to Daniel. He shoved the spoonful of porridge to Daniel, "Ahh." he said to Daniel. The blonde was taken aback by his action but he did as the older told and open his mouth for the older to feed him. Daniel had never tasted something this good in his 22 years of living and he thinks that it tasted better than his own mother's. Sorry eomma.

"Tasty." he said with a small smile flashing on his face. It really does taste so good and Seongwoo was proud of his own masterpiece. Although it's only a simple chicken vege porridge but he was glad that the younger likes it. Daniel swallow down the porridge and then again like a small kid wanting to be fed by their mother, open his mouth again and Seongwoo gladly feed him with another spoonful of porridge and the action goes on. They didn't talk about anything but sometime they did smile and even chuckles in between each feeding.

Daniel never heard or see Seongwoo smile or laugh before so it was a blessed to him that he gets to see him do so today. And even being fed by the older was really a great gift. Seongwoo is like a boyfriend who is lovingly taking care of his sick girlfriend or boyfriend which Daniel was totally happy about it. They are not even close to call themself boyfriends or anything else. They are just friends, who Daniel is having a huge crush on Seongwoo without Seongwoo knowing about it. For now, Daniel wants to keep as how it is for a moment and just enjoy this very moment he is currently in.

Seongwoo occasionally swipe off some porridge that were at the corner of Daniel's lip if he found some and then spontaneously it off which made the younger's breath hitch at the scene. The scene made him coughed severely, making him chokes a little by it too. Seongwoo quickly put aside the tray and grab the glass of water which he had placed on the bedside table and gave it to Daniel. The blonde immediately down the water in short seconds. Seongwoo rub around his back to make him feel better. Once he does, Seongwoo took the glass away and wipes off the water that was dripping down of Daniel's mouth with a paper towel.

"You okay?" he asked after he did so.

Daniel just nods his head. He tried to calm his heart. It was thumping so fast and loud and he didn't want Seongwoo to hear.

They went into another comfortable silence and continuing again the feeding section until everything was clear off the bowl. 

"Here, drink this. You feel much better after drinking it. It's honey tea, it'll make your throat feels better. Trust me." Seongwoo grab the tea and gave it to Daniel. He made it specially for Daniel since the younger was having a sore throat judging by their earlier conversation through the phone call and it goes worst after some times. 

Daniel didn't wait any longer and slowly sip the tea. It was warm and really tasty. Very refreshing, nice and he feels the warm liquid go down his throat and he could feel his throat is feeling better. He mouthed a 'thank you' in which Seongwoo replied him with a smile. This time it was a very warm smile. It almost looks like it was a loving smile.

"Okay, you've been fed. Now, we need to give you a shower and changed into something better. You're getting sweaty and it's not good for your health. Shall we? I'll help so no need to be shy about anything."

Daniel spits out the tea because again he was suprised by Seongwoo's word. "Wh-what? Help me...with shower? Hyung...no it's fine. I...can do it myself." he tried to reason with Seongwoo. It was already great to have Seongwoo's helping him with feeding him and cooked for him but he didn't need his help in showering him. He can do that by himself, because he's gonna get a heart attack soon.

"No, I'm helping you whether you like it or not. Now, let's go. Shower time. Finish off the tea quick." he ordered crossing his arm over his chest, waiting patiently for Daniel.

"H-hyung, really...I."

"Daniel."

"Y-yes?"

"Quick. Shower then sleep."

"But.."

"No but. Faster."

Daniel didn't dare to argue with Seongwoo so he quickly downed the whole tea and then let Seongwoo dragged him out of bed and into the shower. He stripped himself without Seongwoo telling him to and sat on the toilet bowl waiting for the older.

Seongwoo came in afterward, sleeves still rolled higher than his elbow and also his pants were rolled up as well until his calf showing. The blonde was in his boxer and he was blushing at the thought of his crush giving him a shower. He couldn't contain himself.

"Shampoo?" the older asked after he had make sure Daniel was all drenched and his hair was wet enough for him to washed his hair. The younger point his finger towards the bottle of shampoo in which Seongwoo quickly grabs it a squeeze out a promising amount of shampoo onto his palm. It was peach flavor, Daniel's favorite.

"You like peach?"

Daniel nods when Seongwoo goes on a starts with washing his hair. "Always my favorite." he replied humming in satisfaction by the feeling of his head and scalp being massage by Seongwoo.

"Mine is apricot. But peach is my favorite too. One of my favorite."

"Ohh, I like apricot too."

"What else did you like? I mean, what is your favorite food or drink. That sort of stuff."

Daniel was thinking it through while Seongwoo keeps on shampooing him. "Umm, I like gummies? All the sweet stuff and uhh coffee, beer or wine."

"Gummies? Sweets? Beer? Wine? Daniel, those aren't good for your health."

"I know but I can't help it. Gummies are my haven and my everything."

"Yes, it also will make your teeth rots and you'll easily get cavities if you keep eating them."

"I've been eating them for all my life and my teeth are perfectly fine."

"It's rotting slowly, Daniel. Trust me."

"No its not."

"Yes it is so listen to me and stop eating those if you don't want to end up going to see the dentist and have them remove."

"I won't and it will never gonna happen."

"Your wish. Just don't come complaining at me that I didn't warn you. And beers, wines too. They're bad."

"How bad?"

"Just...bad. Stop drinking them and drink more of plain water. It's good for your health."

"But, they are water too."

"Kang Daniel, can't you differentiate between whats good and whats not good for you? Even if those are still a sort of drink, water to be exact, they are not good for your health, for the nth times now. Stop making things worst."

"I know what is good and not hyung. I'm not dumb."

"I didn't say that you are. Listen to me, okay?"

Daniel didn't reply him and Seongwoo stop washing his hair and leaned forward to find Daniel was pouting. Seongwoo couldn't help but to smile at the cute sight of Daniel. Okay, he just think that Daniel is cute so it's not a big deal.

"Don't be sad and sulky, Daniel. I'm trying to make sure that you're healthy and live better."

"No, it's fine. I know. You're doing a good thing for me and I thanked you for that and also thank you, for being here and taking care of me, Seongwoo hyung."

Seongwoo was smiling again, this time it was wider. "No problem. You kind of make me worry when you suddenly didn't say anything while we were talking through the phone."

"Sorry, I fainted. I didn't know how did it all starts. How I get this fever too. I didn't remember staying under the rain or something."

"Must be because you were too tired and haven't slept properly for past days. You've been practicing for the competitions didn't you?" 

Daniel was taken aback, he turned to face the older. "How...did you know?"

"Jihoonie. Actually, Minhyun told me this morning. He said Jihoon had been talking and reporting about you to Minhyun. He said that you've been stressing over the upcoming battle. He even said you've been practicing non stop, everyday and every hours. At least you didn't skip any of your science class but still you didn't get a good rest after all that, so probably that is your main reason if falling ill, Daniel. Your body need to rest, and it's shutting you down by giving you fever. Don't force yourself too much. I'm sure you'll do great in the battle."

"I....I don't know, hyung. I'm scared. Scared that I didn't practice hard enough and fail them. I'm..."

Daniel widen his eyes when he felt himself being pulled in and head resting on Seongwoo's chest. "H-hyung. S-Seongwoo hyung. Wait, you're...my hair is."

Seongwoo ignores Daniel calling out to him and he suprised himself too when he just pulled Daniel into a hug and feeling how Daniel's wet and still full of shampoo rest on his chest and wetting himself up in the process.

"Don't be like that, Daniel. You'll gonna do great and I'm not lying to you. I've seen you dance once and I know that you're really good and will surely win those battle easily. So, don't try to de-motivated yourself. Promise me that."

Daniel blinked, but then nods his head. He sigh out contented and was happy that Seongwoo is making him feel better and the hug is gradually makes him calm down and all the worries washed away.

"Promise. Thank you, hyung."

"Most welcome."

~

They finished off with the shower and Seongwoo helped in picking Daniel's changed of clothes. Once Daniel changed into his set of new clothes, Seongwoo drag him by the hand and pulled Daniel towards the bed again.

He commanded Daniel to sleep and not to think about the battle and just sleep. His voice was still hoarse but it was better than before. His fever is slowly coming down and Daniel had stopped sweating.

Seongwoo stay and waited for Daniel to dozed off to sleep and making sure that he was already deep in sleep before he pull the blanket up to Daniel's chest and tucked the younger in. It was still early but Seongwoo wanted Daniel to have a good long rest so he's gonna make sure that Daniel is sleeping and rest well. He smiles warmly at Daniel sleeping face, threading his fingers through Daniel's recently washed hair.

"Sweet dream, Daniel. And get well soon."

Perhaps Seongwoo was cheering him up and seeing him smiles again was the best thing ever.
