A loud sneeze can be heard from the living room as Donghyuck is preparing for their dinner in the kitchen. Injunnie sniffles and uses the back of his palm to wipe his nose.

"Daddy, I'm hungry!" Injunnie cracks his voice, his throat a little hoarse. He then sneezes again. "Daddy!" he whines.

Donghyuck has his forehead creased as he exits the kitchen, carrying a big tray that contains a big bowl of seaweed soup and a big bowl of rice. "Good thing I cooked this soup, it's good for your throat. How did you catch a cold?"

Injunnie sniffles, wiping his nose again. "I don't know." he says while pouting. His nose becomes red now.

On the table, Donghyuck prepares Injunnie's moomin plate, moomin spoon and fork, and most importantly, his yellow baby bottle with warm water. He also prepares plate, spoon and chopsticks for himself.

"Injunnie, come here now, let's eat!" Donghyuck announces, and Injunnie runs to the table. "Careful, babe!"

"Sorry." Injunnie sits across Donghyuck as the latter puts some rice on his plate.

"You, Chenle and Jisung went out yesterday, right? And you walk around the mall, right?" Donghyuck stressfully asks.

He just got home from school and he found out that Renjun caught a cold because he was greeted by his sneeze exactly when he opened the door.

Injunnie pouts, shrugging his shoulders, "I don't know."

Donghyuck sighs. "You eat now. I'll just call someone." He walks to the living room.

"Who?" Injunnie sniffles, grabbing his spoon and fork. When Donghyuck gets off his seat, Injunnie whines, "Daddy, sit down here, please!"

"This won't take long, baby. Just eat." Donghyuck grabs his phone from the pocket of his pants and dials Jisung's number.

"Hurry back, okay?" Injunnie sniffles again.

[Hello?]

"Mark? Where's Jisung?"

[He's in the shower. Why?]

"Nevermind, I'll hang up. Bye."

[Eh? Okay-]

Donghyuck ends the call and dials Chenle's number. He needs to know what they did at the mall for Renjun to catch a cold.

A few rings and the younger finally answers.

[Hello, Haechan hyung?]

"What did you do at the mall yesterday?"

[Oh. We went grocery shopping and then played in the arcade. Why?]

"What else?"

[Uhm, we also went to the cinema. Then we walked around the mall before going home. Why, hyung?]

"Renjun isn't used to walking for so long. He caught a cold."

[Oh my God! Yeah, you're right, I forgot. He kept saying his feet hurt already and he was getting dizzy. I also thought that on our way home, he shifted to little space.] Then a sigh can be heard from the other line. [Hyung, I apologize.]

"Don't worry about it. Thanks for answering the call."

[No problem, hyung. Tell Renjun-ge, get well soon. And I'm sorry again.]

"Sure. Bye!"

[Bye!]

Donghyuck ends the call and goes back to the dining room, putting his phone back in his pocket. He sees Injunnie not moving his food and just staring at his baby bottle.

When he sits across him, Injunnie sneezes again. Donghyuck chuckles at the way his little boyfriend wipes his nose with the back of his palm.

"Why aren't you eating, Injunnie?"

Injunnie looks at him and pouts again, "I want to sleep."

"I thought you're hungry?"

"I am, but I want to sleep, too."

Donghyuck ruffles Injunnie's hair, smiling slightly, "You eat first and take your medicines, then we'll go to bed after. Is that alright, Injunnie?"

"Alright." Injunnie nods and grabs his spoon and fork again. He smiles widely at his Daddy before eating.

"You're really a big boy now, Injunnie. And such a good boy."

"I am a good boy." Injunnie giggles that makes Donghyuck laughs softly while staring at him fondly.

He then grabs the serving spoon to get himself some rice as well.

×××

Injunnie sits on the bed, watching Donghyuck as he folds the cold washcloth. Donghyuck looks at his baby and smiles, "Lay down now, baby. I'll put this cloth on your forehead."

Nodding, Injunnie obediently lays down on his pillow. Donghyuck sits next to him and puts the cloth on his forehead. "Is it too cold?"

"No. It's just right."

Donghyuck nods and kisses his baby's cheek. "I don't want you to get sick anymore, Renjun-ah."

Injunnie just stares at him with gentle eyes. "Daddy, can we cuddle?"

"And get me sick too?" Donghyuck smirks, "Can I say no?"

His baby pouts, "Please, Daddy! Let's cuddle, please?"

Donghyuck sighs then chuckles. "Fine, fine. If I get sick too, you take care of me, okay?"

Injunnie nods. "Come on now, please, I want to cuddle!" he says with grabby hands.

"Such impatient." Donghyuck finally lays beside his baby. "Come here, baby."

Renjun moves closer to Donghyuck and hugs his waist, burrying his face onto his chest. The cloth on Renjun's forehead is being pressed between them. Donghyuck smiles, hugging the older back.

"Good night, honey." Donghyuck kisses his boyfriend's head, closing his eyes.

Eyes already closed, Renjun giggles and mumbles, his voice vibrating against Donghyuck's chest, "Good night, love."
