"how long have you been sick for? and don't lie" - Ren to Minhyun
CARING FOR THE SICK PROMPTS.
For how long had he been sick? Now that the question was asked directly, Minhyun wasn’t going to lie. He hadn’t mentioned it before simply because he didn’t have time—his schedule had been packed back to back, and pushing through a bit of fatigue wasn’t exactly new to him. He’d handled the fever and the weakness well enough, or so he thought…
He let out a slow breath and stretched his arms overhead, only to drop them back down with a quiet exhale, sinking into the chair like the motion had drained what little energy he had left.
“Three days, I think,” he answered, tone thoughtful but composed. “Just a fever and some fatigue.” His body didn’t ache as much as it had the day before, and in his mind, that meant he was on the mend.
“The fever’s been messing with me a little, to be honest,” he added, a slight grin tugging at the corner of his mouth. “But I didn’t want to turn it into a thing. There’s always something going on—I couldn’t afford to slow down.”
He turned to Ren with a small, reassuring smile. “It’s nothing serious.” His voice remained calm, deliberate, even if his body was clearly fighting him.
