Another rare-ish sneeze (I think) - Jimin at 11:42. He's in the back of the shot but it's still audible and visible. Reminds me of the leemujin service sneeze because you can hear he's trying to hold it back. The stylist goes to fix his hair right after

Another sneeze that I don't think many people have seen
I don't know if it's just me that's noticed how Lee Know started stifling his sneezes a while ago (like completely silently it's kind of impressive lol) so I was wondering if you could do a story about this and the members' reactions? He's always been one of the sneezier members so if you could think of something about why he does/ doesn't stifle in certain situations that would be amazing <3
Hyung, you look miserable
Sickie: Minho
Caretakers: Chan, Jeongin, and Felix, some Changbin and Hyunjin
Relationships: Platonic
Minho’s pov:
“Bless you, Min.”
My head whipped around, startled anyone had heard my nearly silent sneezing. Chan smiled softly and I nodded in acknowledgment.
Him and Changbin had been bickering in the recording studio when I turned away from the microphone to sneeze. They must’ve stopped talking at that exact moment or I don’t think anyone would have noticed.
“You okay to continue?” Chan asked.
I gave him a thumbs up. “All good.”
Over the next few minutes, my nose started getting stuffy and I was trying my best not to keep sniffling.
“Can we take a break?” I asked. “I need to blow my nose.”
I got a few tissues from the next room and relieved my sinuses before drawing in a quick breath. “hukkTSHH! hehTSHhuh!” I sniffled and blew my nose again.
“Hyung,” Changbin placed a hand on my shoulder. “You feeling okay?”
I shook my head. “I think I’m catching a cold.” I cleared my throat and sniffled before pouting slightly.
“Oh, hyungie.” He went to put an arm around me but I turned away.
“haITSHH! Aigo.”
When I turned back he draped an arm around my shoulders. “Oh, bless you.”
“Min-ah, I’ll drive you home if you’re not feeling good.” Chan walked up behind me and kissed the crown of my head.
I frowned. “We didn’t finish yet.”
“Go rest,” Changbin insisted. “Hannie and I had some more work to do anyway.”
********time skip********
Chan’s pov:
Once the two of us got in the car I called Hyunjin to let him know we were coming home.
“Ah, hyung.” His voice came over the Bluetooth.
“Hyunjin-ah,” I said. “Lee Know is getting a cold so we’re coming home.”
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Minho jerk forward with a few silent sneezes. I reached over and put a hand on his shoulder, subtly rubbing it with my thumb.
“Okay, Felix is making tea,” Hyunjin responded. “See you soon.”
He hung up and I glanced at Minho. “Don’t suppress your sneezes like that.”
He shrugged. “I didn’t want to interrupt.”
“Aniyo,” I laughed. “You’re sick, don’t worry.”
********time skip********
Minho’s pov:
I climbed out of the car, folding in half with a wrenching sneeze. “haETSHhu!”
“Aigo, bless you.” I looked up at Chan and he put a hand on my back. “You okay?”
I nodded and sniffled. “Thank you.” My breath hitched again.
“Oh, another?”
“hh- hekkTCHhi!” I barely brought an arm up to my face in time to catch the next one.
Chan, whose hand hadn’t moved, began rubbing my back. “Bless, let’s get you inside.”
Chan opened the front door and Felix was sitting on the couch. He looked up from his phone and immediately came trotting over. “Hyung, you look miserable.” He pouted and held my hand. “Come sit.”
He led me to the couch and draped a blanket over me. The coffee table was filled with tissues, water, and medicine. Felix left quickly and Jeongin sat beside me, wrapping his arms around me. I rested my head on his shoulder and he nuzzled his cheek into my hair. He didn’t say anything but I knew he cared.
Chan appeared with a thermometer and Felix was close behind with a mug. “I made you some tea,” he said while Chan took my temperature.
“Thank you, Lix.” I mumbled.
He smiled and him and Chan left me and Jeongin alone with the TV. We threw on a random show while I sipped my tea, still being cuddled by my youngest dongsaeng.
I put my tea down when I felt a powerful itch in my nose. I cupped my hands over my face. “hihngxt! hihngxtch! ngxtcchii! Aigo, mianhae.”
“Bless you. Bless you. Ah, bless you, hyung, it’s okay.” Jeongin responded sweetly to every sneeze and I thanked him. “Don’t sneeze like that when you’re sick.”
I raised an eyebrow at him. “You do.”
“And that’s why I keep getting sinus infections.” He laughed.
I shrugged. “I don’t always do it, it depends.”
“That makes no sense.”
I sniffled when Hyunjin yelled from the other room. “That’s what I said! How do you do that? Just sneeze normally!”
Idk if you write fics with romantic relationships between members, so this can either be romantic or platonic.
But basically Minhyuk and Kihyun got in a really big fight and Minhyuk said something really stupid and the whole group is mad at him, but then he gets sick and the group thinks he's faking. Until he passes out or something
Loved your itzy fic by the way!
This is a fun request. Tbh, Idc about romantic relationships, but I wasn't sure which member you wanted in a relationship, so I think it's Kihyuk, so I tried.
Hope you enjoy!
Kihyun was mad. So mad he couldn't even talk. Minhyuk and him bickered, that's part of being friends, band mates, and whatever situationship him and Minhyuk have.
Kihyun had been messing around and teasing Minhyuk, but Minhyuk was in a bad mood, and without thinking he yelled at his best friend, but he didn't just yell, he touched on some of Kihyun's worst insecurities. Something they agreed to never talk about. Minhyuk wasn't surprised that Kihyun was and, he felt horrible for what he said, he wished he could take it back, but he couldn't.
Kihyun had cried for the first time in a very long time after his fight with Minhyuk. Shownu came in and saw Kihyun crying, "What's wrong?"
"minhyuk and I got in a fight" shownu was surprised, he knew the two bickered, but this was different, Kihyun explained what happened, Shownu was upset. "Do you want me to talk to him?" Shownu asked, Kihyun shook his head, "I'll talk to him, Minhyuk is never like this, something has to be wrong. He went into Minhyuk's room and saw him sitting on his bed.
Kihyun started to talk Minhyuk, Minhyuk wanted to show that he cared about his best friend, but he was starting to feel the effects of his illness. He sniffled and needed to sneeze but didn't want to make the Kihyun more mad. "Minhyuk, you-"
"Minhyuk why would you do that? You know I-"
"yeah I know!" Minhyuk wanted to cry, he felt awful, and seeing how upset Kihyun was didn't help. Minhyuk knew him not feeling well wasn't an excuse but he felt awful. Not just because he fought with Kihyun, but also because he was sick.
"hektchu hhh-ktchu! Ehh-ktchu hhktchu-" Minhyuk broke into a painful coughing fit, it hurt his chest and head. "You okay?" Kihyun asked, he seemed genuinely concerned, Minhyuk nodded, not wanting to alarm his friend. "you sure?" Minhyuk nodded, Kihyun shrugged, "I'm really sorry Kihyun, what I did was really stupid." He coughed, "I can't say 'its ok' but I'm not really mad anymore. I'm kinda more worried now, you don't seem to be doing too well"
"I'm ok, thanks though" Kihyun looked concerned, he realized that Minhyuk was sick, which would explain his behavior. Kihyun left the room in search of medicine, Minhyuk took Kihyun's departure the wrong way, thinking Kihyun was mad again and started to cry.
Kihyun left in search of medicine, but Shownu found him in the bathroom, rifling through the medicine cabinet, "what are you doing?"
"Minhyuk is sick" Kihyun explained, "no, he's not..i think he's probably just throwing a fit because he feels bad and wants sympathy"
"Minhyuk's not like that" Shownu was about to say something when Minhyuk came out of his room, he was white as a sheet he took a step forward and fell to his knees.
Immediately Shownu and Kihyun ran over to him, Shownu helped Minhyuk back to his bed, while Kihyun twisted his hands in nervousness. He had never seen Minhyuk like this. Kihyun brought the medicine into the room and sat down next to his sick friend.
Shownu left, clearly seeing the two best friends needed privacy. "hyuk, are you okay?" Minhyuk broke into tears, "I'm so sorry. I know I was horrible. And nothing I can say will justify it." His voice broke and cracked as he sobbed even harder. He coughed harshly, "Hyuk, you're sick. Really sick. We can talk about this when you're better" Kihyun gently pushed his friend's shoulder so he would rest against the bed. Kihyun brushed Minhyuk's sweaty bangs back and pressed his hand to Minhyuk's forehead, "definitely feverish" he handed the medicine to Minhyuk, who took it without complaint, which only made Kihyun more worried.
Minhyuk lay down, "I'm gonna sleep" Minhyuk said softly, Kihyun nodded, and moved to leave the room, but then his wrist was grabbed, "please stay" The sick man asked, Kihyun couldn't say no, so he settled in bed next to Minhyuk. Kihyun pressed a soft kiss to Minhyuk's fevered forehead, "sweet dreams" despite how sick Minhyuk felt, he couldn't help but smile.
💕, 🌻, 🤞 for seventeen (any member but preferably Seungkwan or Hoshi) plssss!! Thank youuuu
I did little drabbles instead of full fics, hope that's okay <3
💕- sniffles
Seungkwan-
It started innocently enough, a small sniffle, barely noticeable over the chaos of dinner. Seungkwan himself thought nothing of it but Vernon, who sat next to Seungkwan noticed the sniffle. A moment later a second sniffle came, then a third. Not long after a fourth. Eventually Vernon was getting a bit confused, (maybe even a little annoyed) he nudged Seungkwan with his elbow. Seungkwan stopped with his fork halfway to his mouth, "what's up?"
"you keep sniffling" Vernon softly said, Seungkwan shrugged, "the spices are making me sniffly" he explained, Seungkwan sniffled again, "then blow your nose, you keep sniffling right by my ear, it's all I've heard the whole meal. Seungkwan apologized, he took a napkin from the center of the table and blew his nose. Right after his breath hitched, he ducked towards his elbow, "hktchU - tcCHU- kekTChHu"
"bless you Kwan" a few of the members said, Seungkwan thanked them and took another napkin to blow his nose, "are you okay?" Jeonghan asked, The other members had drawn their focus to Seugkwan, who was sniffling into a tissue, "the spices" he said with a nod towards the food, "ktchu- hehh- hKtchu"
"bless you"
"thank you" he said, he blew his nose. "you sure you're okay?"Jihoon asked, Seungkwan nodded, "I'll be fine. I'll just be a bit sneezy while I eat the spicy food." Seungkwan explained with an itchy sounding sniffle. Seungkwan went back to eating normally, despite him having to stop and sneeze every few seconds. Vernon had gotten just a bit fed up with him, but also knew that Seungkwan had put up with him and his flower allergies for years so he chose to just ignore it.
Hoshi-
"It's gonna snow tomorrow" Hoshi commented, seemingly out of nowhere. Chan, Jun, and Minghao all looked at him, "what?"
"it's gonna snow tomorrow" Sooyoung repeated, he sniffled, "how do you know that?" Jun asked, looking as if he didn't quite believe him, "because I get a snf stuffy nose when it's gonna snow"
"that's not a real thing" Chan said with an eye roll. He pulled out his phone, "even the weather says it's gonna be sunny tomorrow"
"it is!!" Hoshi said stubbornly, right after he sniffled. "I'm serious. why do you think I always get colds in winter"
"because you never wear a jacket" Minghao chimed in from his spot on the floor. Sooyoung rolled his eyes and kept stretching, he sniffled again. "I think you're doing that on purpose" Chan said, playfully rolling his eyes at the performance team leader . "Am not!!!" he sniffled again, which caused the other dancers to groan. "Guys!!!" they all started laughing at him
~the next day~
Chan was awoken the next morning by Jun and Minghao screaming and running into his room, "what the heck guys!!!!?"
"he was right!!!!" Jun yelled flopping down on Chan's bed. "who was right?" Chan asked, his brain still trying to wake up. Sooyoung" Minghao said, he walked over to the window and drew back the curtains, snow was falling outside. "how?" just then a harsh sneeze came from the other room, "maybe he does get colds when it snows" Chan said, he climbed out of bed and went to the team leader's room. Sooyoung was standing by his closet, a tissue up to his nose as he used his other hand to sift through his clothes. "aktchHu- hhatcchu"
"bless you" Sooyoung flinched at the voice, he blew his nose, then turned around. "I told you guys!!" he said with a wet sniffle. "sorry, but you know, it did sound kinda crazy"
"yeah, it's a bit strange. Took me a while to get used to it" he paused, "ATChu- atCHu- snf but every time it's gonna snow"
"Sooyoung makes a better weather man than the actual meteorologist." Jun said with a laugh. The maknae rolled his eyes, "how long has this happened for?"
"I think since I broke my nose back in 2019"
"you broke your nose?"
"y-hh-hea- atCHhu- atchHu- during filming one time"
"how come we didn't know?"
"no one did, except me, our manager and Scoups hyung, mainly because our manager made me tell him" Sooyoung explained, he sniffled and blew his nose again. "Sorry for not believing you hyung" Chan said sheepishly. The maknae shrugged, "I wouldn't believe me either"
🌻- taken by surprise
Seungkwan-
The vocal unit was gathered in the studio recording something for their newest album, things had gone smoothly all morning. That was until Seungkwan had started recording. The second he started singing he felt a strange tickle in his nose. He rubbed his nose and ignored it. He started singing again and the tickle came back. He put his hand up to stop the recording. Jihoon stopped and gave Seungkwan a confused look, when the youngest vocalist ducked towards his elbow and sneezed twice. "All good?" Jihoon asked, Seungkwan gave him a thumbs up. Seungkwan was able to film two lines before his nose started tickling again. He raised his hand again, signaling a stop. Jihoon gave him a confused look, but did pause the recording. "Everything alright Seungkwan?"
"kktchu- kktchshu-ttchshu- ugh sorry"
Jihoon signaled for them to stop completely. The staff did so, he went into the studio, "everything okay Kwan?"
"I don't know what's wrong with me! My nose itches."
"you sick?" Jeonghan asked looking a bit concerned. Seungkwan shrugged. "I felt fine all day, still do, just keep- kktch-tchu-hTchu sneezing"
"is it allergies?"
"I don't think I have allergies" Seungkwan said, he turned away and sneezed again. "You could have developed some, or come in contact with something new" Joshua said, he turned to the staff, "has this studio been cleaned recently" they nodded, "do you have the cleaning stuff that was used?" The staff nodded and left the room, "what's that for hyung?"
"well the room smells faitly of the cleaning stuff, I wonder if you're having a reaction to it."
"I hadn't even noticed the smell" Seokmin commented. The other members agreed. "It's really faint" Joshua said, "you just have a really strong sense of smell" Seungkwan said, "I can't smell it either, "it's possible that you can't but you're still reacting to it" Jihoon said with a shrug. Seungkwan shook his head, "I've literally never been allergic to anything"
"it could be something-"
"hh-ktchUH kktchu-"
"bless you, something new" Joshua explained, Jeonghan handed a few tissues to the youngest of the vocal team. He thanked him, his face flushed lightly in embarrassment.
The staff returned with a bottle of cleaner, "Kwan can you just smell this?" Seungkwan gave the bottle a look of distain, "just do it" Seokmin said nudging Seungkwan. He gave a dramatic sigh and took the bottle, "it's pointless anyways, I'm not allergic to any-" he caught a whiff of the scent and instantly pushed it back to Joshua, "HHKTchu- TchhhU- ketChu- hhektCHHu- EKTCHhuh"
"bless you" the others said, Jeonghan handed Seungkwan a few tissues, he took them enthusiastically and pressed them to his nose, he sneezed four times into the tissue and blew his nose. "Ugh"
"I think you might be allergic to that" Seokmin said, he patted Seungkwan's shoulder. "Can I go home and shower?" Seungkwan asked, looking absolutely miserable. "Of course, do you want someone to go with you?" Jeonghan asked, looking worried about Seungkwan, whose eyes were swollen and his nose bright red, "I'll text Vernon" Seokmin said, patting Seungkwan on the back. He said a congested thank you to Seokmin.
Vernon came a few minutes later to get his boyfriend and take him back to the dorm, "I'm surprised, it's usually you picking me up" Vernon said laughing a bit. "I know, I was really surprised" Seungkwan sneezed, "bless you"
"thanks, but I've never been allergic to anything before. It's so strange. It- kktchHu- ektchu- ttchu- awful. I hope that this is very much a one time thing."
Hoshi:
The performance team was choreographing something for their upcoming comeback. The whole morning had been absolute chaos. It had started thunder storming 15 minutes after the got there and the storm caused the power to go out, but the team (specifically Sooyoung) was determined to contiune working, despite it being nearly impossible. A rough demo that Jihoon had sent them played from Chan's phone speaker, barely even able to be heard over the storm outside, the lack of stable cell service also meant the audio was skipping and crackly.
But as if the storm outside wasn't enough, the members had started to notice how raspy Sooyoung's voice had gotten, but whenever it was brought up or mentioned Sooyoung was quick to explain it was from yelling over the thunder. The others let it go because it did make sense.
Halfway through one of their run throughs Sooyoung stopped dead in his tracks, the others looked at him in confusion. "Sooyoung is everyth-"
"HUTChu- ehtcHHu- aKkTchu"
"bless you" Sooyoung shook his head to clear the cloudy feeling and rubbed his nose, "sorry guys, let's get back in position" the others nodded and began moving when the leader of the unit stopped dead in his tracks and ducked his head towards his elbow "stchu- ktcCHu- hhestchu- hKtchu- ugh sorry"
"you sure? Dust bothering you?" Jun asked, knowing how sensitive Sooyoung was around dust. Sooyoung shook his head, "no, not allergies. I can say that for sure"
"you're sneezing a lot though"
"I don't get a sore throat with allergies"
"Do you have a sore throat?" Minghao asked looking surprised, "a bit yeah. Felt fine earlier"
"maybe you're getting sick."
"were you outside in the rain?" Chan asked, "you can't get sick from going in the rain Chan" Sooyoung said with a hint of exhasperation, "I know that, but if you went out in the rain and then came in the studio where it's cold, then maybe that could make you a bit sick"
"I don't know if it works like that" Sooyoung said before sneezing again. "Well whatever the cause is, it seems like you've got a cold so you should probably head back to the dorm and get some rest" Jun said as he starts gathering his stuff. "probably a good idea" Chan agreed and Minghao nodded, "I'm fine guys"
"you need rest, especially if you're getting sick. We don't want you to get worse with the comeback around the corner. And with how fast it came on I haven't ruled out the flu yet, so I'd rather be safe than sorry" Minghao said and handed Sooyoung's bag to Jun. "Ugh, fine" Chan smiled and put his arm around the leader's shoulders, "not like we were really getting much done anyways" Sooyoung started to protest but ultimately followed the maknae out of the studio. Once back in the dorms he was pushed to the shower and quickly sent to bed after.
🤞- stifles
Seungkwan:
There was a tense air in the van on the way to schedules. Seungkwan had been caught faking being sick to get out of going to schedules all of the previous few days. So the members had all gotten quite angry, but Seungkwan was nervous as this morning when he woke up he had a stuffy nose and a headache. Which he assumed was karma for him faking. But he also knew his members wouldn't believe him and would likely just get mad. Halfway to the studio his nose began tickling, he discreetly tried rubbing at it, trying to keep the sneeze from coming out. But eventually the tickle got really bad and he knew he was going to sneeze he pinched his nose and stifled a sneeze trying not to move much, or any. Mingyu, who was seated next to him, felt Seugkwan move a bit but didn't say anything, too irritated to really care what the youngest vocalist was doing. But when it happened three more times within the next 4 minutes he was starting to get annoyed, he looked at Seungkwan and saw his eyes were wet with what looked like tears. "Kwan are you seriously crying?" Mingyu felt irritated, thinking Seungkwan was upset he had to work. When in reality Seungkwan was fighting his tears as the stifles had caused his minor headache to turn quite painful. "no hyung, just got some dust in my eye" Seungkwan said softly, his throat had begun hurting from the sneezes. Mingyu wanted to believe him, but also felt a bit concerned when he noticed there was a congested note in Seungkwan's voice.
Once the group arrived at the studio Mingyu pulled the leader aside, "I think something is wrong with Seungkwan, he seemed upset in the car and his voice sounded off" Seungcheol shrugged, "maybe, but what if he's just faking again"
"right" Mingyu said, but deep down he really didn't think that Seungkwan was faking anything. The group went to a room to begin filming and Mingyu almost tripped when Seungkwan suddenly stopped right in front of him, "Kwan you good"
"hngphm- nngtchh- hnmphch" Mingyu wasn't sure what was wrong with Seungkwan but whatever it was, it sounded painful. "Kwan you okay?" he asked again, Seungkwan smiled, "yeah, all good" Mingyu noticed that Seungkwan's voice sounded very strange. Mingyu also noticed how pale Seungkwan was. "Kwan are you sick?"
"NO!!!" He said, he coughed after, "Shit Kwan. If you're actually sick you need to rest"
"No, they won't believe mbe- 'sall my fault" Mingyu was worried, "Seugkwan, I can tell them you're actually sick" He felt worried seeing the usually playful member almost crying just from a simple conversation. Seungkwan suddenly turned away from Mingyu very quickly and clamped his hands roughly around his face, "HNGtch-hhnptch- NGTChh-" Seungkwan wimpered softly, "Kwan if it hurts don't do that"
"don't want to bother" he coughed, Mingyu cringed at how painful it sounded, "Seungkwan, I know you made a mistake but if you're sick you can't be at work." He put his arm around Seungkwan's shoulder and walked with him to the rest of the members. Kwan let out a small whimper.
"Guys, Seungkwan isn't feeling very well--"
"Mingyu we just went over this he's fine" the leader interrupted looking irritated. Seungkwan sniffled and a few tears fell, he quickly wiped them away, brushing his sensitive nose in the process and triggering three sneezes, which he stifled into near silence, which caused him to audibly whimper. "Seungkwan, stop." Vernon, who was usually very soft for his youngest hyung, said. Absolutely no hint of softness now. This seemed to be too much for Seungkwan and he shrugged Mingyu's shoulder off and ran out of the studio crying. This caused the whole group to freeze in shock. "Told you guys" Mingyu said. "He's been stifling his sneezes all morning and it's very clearly hurting him. He almost started crying from it in the car" The members all looked guilty, especially Vernon and Seungcheol, who were both nervously twisting their hands. "I'll go get him" Vernon said, he quickly left the room. He found Seungkwan crying in a corner by a vending machine. "Oh Seungkwan, I'm sorry" Vernon said sitting next to him. "I'm sorry!" Seungkwan sobbed, Vernon felt his heart break for the vocalist. Vernon put his arms around Seungkwan. "It's okay Kwan. We should have believed you." Vernon noticed a warmth coming off of Seungkwan, "you have a fever Boo"
"oh" Vernon helped Seungkwan stand and go to the studio where the others were. As soon as they saw Seungkwan they all started apologizing. Which made Seungkwan cry again and he started explaining how he shouldn't have lied and how sorry he was. His words were woven in between sobs. The members helped Seungkwan back to the van where he was taken back home. Seungcheol and Vernon were obviously still feeling pretty guilty and stayed back with him, along with Mingyu, who Seungkwan, in his feverish mind seemed to find comfort in.
For the sickfic prompts, can you do #49 for svt Joshua? It doesn’t matter who you put with him as a caregiver, they’re all perfect!
Not with that cold
Sickie: Joshua
Caretakers: S.Coups and Jeonghan
Relationships: Platonic
Coups’ pov:
I heard yelling from behind me and turned around on the couch to see what was happening.
“Shua, get back in bed!” Jeonghan shouted.
Joshua groaned. “Oh, come on.”
“Hyung,” Jeonghan said, turning to me. “Help me out here.”
I raised an eyebrow, confused, when Joshua suddenly sneezed. “hehTCH!”
“Bless you,” I said. “What’s going on?”
“He caught Mingyu’s cold.” Jeonghan rolled his eyes. “He’s been sneezing all morning.”
I eyed Joshua. His nose and cheeks were flushed and he looked like he was on the cusp of sneezing again.
He sniffled. “Hyung, just let me cook some food.”
“Not with that cold,” Jeonghan insisted.
I shrugged. “Shua, he’s kind of right.”
Joshua pouted before turning away. He brought his shirt up to his face. “huETCHh! ETCHhu!” He sighed.
“Aw, bless you.” I stood and walked over to Joshua, putting an arm around his back.
“Thank you.” He rubbed at his nose.
I rubbed his back. “You’ll get tired too easily,” I said. “You should go back to bed and I’ll make you some food.”
He shook his head and pouted again, tearing up. “Aish, don’t cry.” Jeonghan put a hand on Joshua’s cheek.
“Oh, Shua, what’s wrong?” I cooed.
“I don’t know,” he whined. “I’m just hungry and I don’t feel well.”
“Oh, sweetheart.” I rubbed his back gently. “Come sit and hyungs will take care of you.” I led him to the couch and sat him down before hugging him tight. When I stood, Jeonghan took my spot next to Joshua and put an arm around his shoulders.
A movie played in the background while the soup cooked on the stove. I heard a couple muffled sneezes from the other room. “Bless you!” I called.
“Aigo,” Jeonghan giggled. “Shua, you scared me.”
When I returned to the living room with a bowl of soup, Joshua’s head was resting on Jeonghan’s shoulder. He quickly glanced at me before jerking forward, shoving his face in his arm. “hahTCH! haITCHh!”
“Oh, bless you, bless you.” I sat opposite of Jeonghan on Joshua’s other side.
He sniffled. “Ugh, thanks, hyung.”
I kissed his temple. “Here,” I handed him the soup. “Eat up, love.”
“Thank you.” He looked up at me fondly and grinned.
“Do you want tea or anything else?” Jeonghan stood and stretched.
“I’d honestly prefer coffee.” Joshua held a tissue to his nose.
Jeonghan smiled. “Anything you want, Joshie.” He scampered off to the kitchen while Joshua ate.
I couldn’t help but run my fingers through his hair until he was finished with his soup and coffee. He came closer so I could cuddle him. “Feel better now?”
He nodded and sniffled again before rubbing his nose.
“You alright?” I looked down at him resting on my lap.
He pinched his nose. “My nose itches.” His nose twitched.
“I know, Shu-ya.” I frowned and moved his hair from his face.
He cupped a hand over his face. “huhTCH! TCHhiee!”
“Aigo,” I handed him a tissue. “Bless you.”
He blew his nose. “Thank you, hyung.” He closed his eyes, head still resting on my lap.
