THE ONE TIME where Haneul almost died from embarrassment
— with @yfxuisoo
Every Sunday feels like hell to Haneul. According to the school nurse, it’s best to medicate him that day, so the side effects decrease in the course of the week and he can be more productive. To that, Haneul says bullshit, but complies. He’s been getting those shots ever since he was six years old, and it’s always been hell.
As luck would have it, Uisoo sunbaenim guaranteed to help him study on Sunday because they have more free time. Haneul’s fingers are sore from the Archery practice that morning but he’s still holding down to his pen for dear life, fingertips turning white. He can already feel the aftershocks starting on his left thigh and washing over his whole body. Cold sweats making him fiddle with his shirt every ten seconds, not to mention he’s been reading the same paragraph for the 90th time and can’t understand a single thing. He is so hot he wipes his forehead with the back of his hand just to make sure he’s visibly drenched - that would be awkward.
Reaching for his water bottle in the center of the table, he tries to play it cool. No bro, it’s fine, just keeping hydrated. He’s totally not feeling like he is catching on fire and dying inside. Not at all. He breathes in, feeling that familiar gut-wrenching heat forming in his stomach and that is never a good thing.
“Sorry sunbae... My head is shitty today.”
