Imagine Person A of your OTP fussing massively over Person B, who has just arrived home from hospital. They had been admitted three weeks before because of coming down with a life-threatening illness. Person A is endlessly worried that Person B, who is exhausted and has lost weight from their stay, will have a relapse, despite Person B’s reassurance.

“Careful, baby”

Soojung managed to roll her eyes at his fuss over her. She was still weak despite staying back at the hospital for three weeks, as Chanyeol said that he didn’t want to risk his wife’s life. Soojung broke down while she was putting make-up on for Kris, she out and fainted on the Chinese leader of her husband’s band. Kris was rather calm, but he couldn’t help but to ask for a back-out for EXO’s performance that day. His reason made a lot of staffs and fans angry – their dearest stylist was being admitted to the hospital – but Kris could careless, he cared for the girl as his sister more than anything, in this case, she was his real sister-in-law.

Soojung married to Chanyeol last year, after dating each other for five years long, she didn’t want to bring his career down along with his brothers, so as much as the others wanted to announce this marriage to the whole world, she loved to keep it low and acted as his stylist only in front of public’s eyes.

“I can walk on my own, Yeol. You don’t have to drag me like this”, she wacked his arm, but her strength betrayed her own attempt to show him that she was fine. Chanyeol felt his heart tighten at how light and feather-like his wife was in his arms. He ignored her protest and scooped her up bridal-style, he quickly made his way up to their shared bed-room, where they didn’t stay inside for a long three weeks.

Curiously, Soojung let him put her down onto the soft fabric and he sat next to her. Her eyes couldn’t help but to scramble around the room, nothing really changed, even though it looked a little dirty without her presence at home to clean up.

“I miss this, staying in bed with you and doing nothing”, Soojung whispered, she reached her arm out and pulled Chanyeol closer to her, he gladly lay down next to her and wrapped his toned arm around her shoulder, making it into a pillow for her to rest her head on.

“Me too. I couldn’t imagine it if you really left me, I …”, his voice got quieter while he talked about his feelings when Kris told him that his wife had fainted and was now in the hospital. “I can’t live without you, baby”, he choked out those tearful words and rubbed his nose onto her temper, taking in her familiar scent that he grew to love for so long.

Soojung chuckled, softly, as she felt herself getting tired already, “I’m here now, I’m not going to leave you, oppa”, she snuggled into his chest and closed her eyes. Her breath was slow and unsteady, but she was at ease just by his presence.

Chanyeol smiled, he moved around a little so that he and his wife could lie comfortably on the bed, he wrapped the blanket over both of them and wrapped both of his arms around her, hugging her close to him. But Chanyeol still left a little space for her to breath, knowing that her lung was really weak by now.

Asthma – the doctor in charge or her told Chanyeol the day after her admission. He said that she had been having asthma for a few years already, but since she had been taking medicine rightly, she stopped having that symptom around two years ago. She didn’t tell anyone about it, not even her parents, and of course, she didn’t tell Chanyeol either. That doctor said that it’s lucky that she was admitted on time, if they were late for a minute, she might stop breathing and that’s the end for her life.

Chanyeol was at rage. He was mad at both himself and his wife. She should have told him her sickness. And he should be more careful around his wife. It’s because of a lot of work and stress that brought back the old symptom on her. EXO had just made a comeback, the load of works not only stressed the boys out but also people working for them.

Soojung being the selfless wife she was, she never let Chanyeol worry about her, even though he wanted to.

“You might have asthma again if you over-work yourself. I will ask for a few months off for you”, Chanyeol whispered, his lips kept pressing all over her cheek, he missed having her in his arms and kissing her all night like this.

Soojung quickly pushed his chest, she looked up with him with tired eyes but determination flashed through her orbs, “No, you can’t do that ! I have to work, you guys have just made a comeback”, she grabbed his shirt and lightly yanked on it. Chanyeol chuckled gently, he took her hands and interwound their fingers together, he lifted them up and planted kisses on her knuckles.

“I want you to rest for your health, baby. I will surely break this time if something bad happens to you again”, he reasoned out.

But Soojung only frowned deeper at his reason. She pressed her palms on his cheeks and squeezed them together, earning a giggle from his lips, “I only can be around you when we work together. You can’t take those times away from me”, she pouted, poking his cheek.

Chanyeol pressed his lips together. He knew that she was right. And he was guilty. His life as an idol had brought a lot of troubles into their love life. He was too busy to spend time at home as a real husband. They could only meet each other when she was at work as his stylist, and all they could do was holding hands secretly inside the changing room.  If he was feeling bad, his wife must be suffering. She had to watch his husband sharing his love and time to his fans, not that she complained – Soojung loved to see Chanyeol on stage and doing his dream.

“I can … stop doing activities with EXO for a while for you, Jungie”, Chanyeol hovered over her and peered down to smirk at the small, weak girl under him. She glared at him for saying that but before she could scold the boy, he kissed her on the lips, shutting  her off.

Chanyeol grinned into the kiss as she kissed him back, but quickly winced when his wife bit his lower lip, hard. “What’s that for ?!”

“For saying stupid thing, Yeol. I will tell Kris oppa to chop your head off if you dare to quit this comeback”, she slightly shook her head. “I have rested for so long already. I don’t say that I am fully fine, but I can come back to work. And what I said is what I will do”

Sighing loudly out in defeat, Chanyeol dropped back onto his back and buried his face into her neck. “I will never forgive myself if you are admitted into the hospital again, baby”, he murmured sulkily, whining his arms around but made sure to keep her close to him.

“Don’t you tell my wife to wipe your sweat like that, Sehun”, Chanyeol scowled on a spinning chair, he crossed his fingers with an unhappy face while watching Soojung wiping Sehun’s face with a tissue.

Sehun gave him a funny look, “Soojung is our stylist. And wiping my sweat is one of her jobs”. Sehun might sound harsh, but he had grown tired of his hyung’s stupid whines. Ever since Soojung came back to work, Chanyeol had been following her around, scolding at the boys for making his wife doing meaningless things, while in fact, all she did was wiping their faces clean and putting lip-glosses on. All of the hard works were done mostly by other stylists or the boy themselves.

Chanyeol acted like EXO mistreated his wife.

“He can do it himself, baby. You should rest”, Chanyeol took her wrist and pulled her away. Soojung gritted her teeth, “Yeol, you better get on stage for your rap performance with Kris”, she nodded towards the stage. Chanyeol looked around to make sure that other staffs didn’t look his way and pressed his lips onto hers before running away.

Sehun cringed in disgusting. His bestfriend was kissing his hyung, right in front of him, after his hyung snapped at him, how stupid. “Do you want me to wipe his germ on your lips instead ?”, Sehun chuckled, holding out a tissue. Soojung grinned bashfully and took the piece of tissue, she continued her job on his face.

In a distance, she and Sehun heard Chanyeol growling into the micro, “Oh Sehun …”

Ever since that incident happened, Chanyeol was being extra careful about his wife’s well-being. To the point that he annoyed the hell out of EXO.

“Stop asking her to put eyeliner on for you, Baek”

“Minseok hyung, you should share those buns that she bought for you with her !”

“Kris hyung, stop ruffling her hair !”

Kris glared back at him, “Ruffling her hair will not kill her, Chanyeol”.

Chanyeol hugged Soojung from behind and securely held on her,
