Seventeen reaction to their s/o being diagnosed with a serious illness
Thank you so much for requesting @ameaniyo !! Hope you like it. I’m not very sure I did a good job on this request, maybe it’s because I don’t have a lot of experience with angsty situations or maybe it’s because I mostly see the boys happy, but anyhow, I’m sorry if it really sucks ahhh. I ended up making this serious illness life threatening as well. ~Admin Summer
After hearing about their illness he would put his whole life on hold to be with his s/o. He would accompany them to all the doctors visits, be there for all the bad days, be their chauffeur, personal shopper, cook, anything they needed. His life would go up in flames but he wouldn’t let it show, it is most important to him that his s/o is at peace.
Jeonghan would spoil his s/o. After getting the news he would make sure that his s/o had everything they ever wanted, he wouldn’t let money be an object. Every time he visits he would bring gifts and tons of love to try to distract from the awful situation at hand. He would make his s/o as comfortable as possible if that means bathing them when they can’t do it themselves, massaging their shoulders to relieve some stress, or even just brushing through their hair he would try to make your life as happy and stress free as he could.
He would serve as an anchor for his s/o. No doubt his s/o would be in a world of worry and a state of constant anxiety but Jisoo would be the calm man in a storm. He would quiet his s/o down and tell them everything happens for a reason and that together they will come out of this fine. He would want to make his s/o feel relaxed and help them to find refuge in him from their hectic world.
He would try to be lighten the mood with his cheesy jokes because he doesn't know how to react to something so serious and heart breaking to him. His relationship with his s/o would be a goofy and happy one where they don’t focus too much on the bad things and celebrate the good. He would try to ignore the illness but would soon figure out his s/o needed him to be serious for them so he whip right into shape and uncover a new side of Jun his s/o had never seen.
He would be extra extra affectionate. He would send meaningful and heartfelt texts every morning and even write letters. He would bulk up on the skinship so his s/o knew he was all in wasn’t planning on leaving them alone during this tough period.
He would become very quiet. His s/o was his source of excitement and happiness and felt like the world was all right as they were happy and healthy and loving him. Seeing his s/o sick, depressed, and worried made him a little depressed. Even though he became quiet he would still always be there for his s/o. He would always be silently by their side.
He would try to find medication, procedures, and doctors that could help his s/o. He would try to find a way to heal them quickly and sufficiently. He would research everything he could. He would come to his s/o excitingly with the information that he stayed up gathering the night before. and talk them through all their options so that they wouldn’t know he was really trying to help them out and show his dedication.
He wouldn’t leave his s/o’s side. His super poetic side would come out and he would say the most beautiful and encouraging things to encourage and cheer them up. He would become more clingy, always needing to show his love and commitment.
Cooks meals upon meals for his s/o. He stockpiles there fridge with his food. Since he’s used to doing chores around the dorm he’d go over to his s/o’s house and do all the things that needs to be done so they could rest well. He’d try and take them on special outings because he’s nervous they won’t be around forever.
He was always smiling around his s/o until the day he heard the news. His mood darkened and became more solemn as he realized how serious their condition was. He would try to be happy for his s/o, but the thought of living without them made his heart break.
He would act the exact same, he wouldn’t let this news affect the way he acted around his s/o. He would be bubbly and light hearted as always. When he is left alone the situation hits him hard and he cries in secret never letting his s/o see him in that position.
He’s a baby so he’d be terribly shocked and probably try to man up and hold back his tears. He would fail and end up with his head in his s/o’s lap. He would cherish every moment with them and never let a moment go to waste.
His personality would stiffen at the news. He’s probably act more down and be easier to anger. He would be frustrated and mad that this happened to his s/o. He would still be loving to them but he’d take this really roughly.
p.s. sorry there are no gifs :((( I couldn't get them to load.
