"Give me strength...", Jisung said, up at the sky.

"You okay Han?", Minho asked, drinking a glass of water.

"No. Hyunjin is sick and he refuses to take his medicine."

"Oh...he's in that phase."

"Yeah. Stubborn baby boy phase. I hate it."

"Take me to him."

Jisung led Minho upstairs.

Hyunjin's room was open, and the little was in his bed with Chan.

"I no *sneeze* want take medicine daddy!", Hyunjin yelled.

"Baby you have to! You've been sick for four days!", Chan said.

"No! *sneeze* Ow..."

"Baby? Did that hurt?"

To everyone's shock, Hyunjin started to cry, immediately being picked up by Changbin.

"Shhh, she, it's okay. It's okay."

He pat the little on his back slowly to try and calm him down.

"I can literally feel the heat radiating off of him.", Changbin said.

"How can we get him to take his medicine?", Felix wondered.

"I don't know. But we need to. He's been sick too long and he's obviously in some type of pain.", Seungmin said.

Changbin sat down, with Hyunjin in his lap.

The little continued to whine for a bit, holding Changbin's shirt in his fist.

"He's breathing pretty heavy. Should we take him to the doctor?"

"He's gonna hate us if we do that.", Jisung said.

"I'd rather have him hate us than he never get better.", Chan whispered.

After a few seconds of everyone sitting in silence, thinking about how to get Hyunjin to take his medicine, Changbin felt the grip on his shirt loosen.

When he looked down at the little in his arms, Hyunjin's eyes were fluttering closed.

"Hey, hey stay awake please.", Changbin said.

Hyunjin fully opened his eyes, whining again.

"Now.", Changbin said.

"Huh?", Chan replied.

"Try to give him the medicine now. He's really really tired. He won't protest you."

Minho took the medicine bottle from Chan, and went to Hyunjin.

He sat by the little, who just stared at him with a tired look.

"Don't be angry at me honey.", Minho said.

He took some of the medicine in the little syringe, and carefully gave it to Hyunjin.

The little pouted, whining more.

"Oh I know honey. But you'll feel better now.", Minho said.

"Hate it...", Hyunjin whispered.

Changbin put a hand on the littles chest.

"He's still breathing pretty heavily. And his heart rate is picking up."

"It should calm down. He'll feel better soon."

The members all sat in the room together, waiting for the medicine to at least slightly have an effect, so they can know it works.

"Hyunjin?", Changbin said.

They all looked at him.

The little just laid there with his eyes closed. Changbin smiled at him.

"He's sleeping you guys.", he whispered.

"Awww, so precious.", Chan said.

"I want a baby like that.", Felix said.

"We can work something out.", Chan replied.

Changbin laid the little down in his bed.

"Okay everyone except his boyfriend please exit the premises.", Changbin said.

Everyone looked around.

"He's dating one of us?", Felix said.

"Yes."

"Who?"

"Alright get out peasants. Let me lay with my baby.", Minho said.

Felix stared at Minho.

"Jealous, chicken little?"

"Chan get your kid.", Felix said.

"I don't know him."

--------------------------------------------------------

Minho held onto Hyunjin closely.

He still felt a bit of warmth from him, but his fever had completely disappeared.

The heavy breathing was gone, and his heart rate wasn't picking up anymore. You almost couldn't feel it.

"I know you're sleeping, but remember that time we got lost at the movies?"

Minho laughed.

"I took you and Felix to see Inside Out and we ended up in the Jurassic Park theater. It was wild."

Minho looked down at Hyunjin.

"I love you so much baby. I can't wait to go see more movies with you. How about an actual animated one next time?"

The door to the room opened.

Jeongin stepped in.

"How is he?"

"Really deep sleeper. That medicine did wonders."

"Good. That's good."

Jeongin went over to look at Hyunjin.

He stood there for a second, his smile dropping.

"What?", Minho asked.

"Nothing. Just looking."

Jeongin turned around, quickly leaving the room.

"He's strange. Isn't he Jinnie?", Minho asked.

Hyunjin's eyes opened, and he stared at Minho.

"Hi baby. How do you feel?"

"No good."

"Not good? You don't feel any better?"

Hyunjin smiled at Minho, putting a hand on his cheek.

"I feel better when I with you.", Hyunjin said.

"Smooth."

Jeongin came back in a few minutes later, followed by Han.

"Look. Look at his back."

Jisung looked closer.

"Is that a bruise?"

Minho sat up, looking at what they were looking at.

Sure enough, a bruise was forming on Hyunjin's back.

But, it didn't look like a normal bruise.

"Hyunjin, baby sit up for me.", Minho said.

Hyunjin did as he was told.

Minho examined his back.

The bruise covered a bit of the bottom half of his back, and was a mix of black and dark purple in color.

Minho's eyes widened at he looked at Hyunjin.

The little stared back at him, a sad smile on his face.

"Baby? What's happening to you?"

Hyunjin leaned on Minho, who hugged him.

Minho looked at Jisung and Jeongin.

"What do I do?"

"It's probably the medicine. Maybe this is a side effect.", Jeongin said.

"Are you sure?"

"No."

Minho's eyes looked like he was tearing up.

"Okay okay, I'm sure. He will be fine Minho."

Minho looked at Jeongin. The maknae smiled back at him.

"You're right. He'll be okay. It's just the medicine. That's all. That's all.", Minho whispered to Hyunjin.

The little hugged Minho back in a loving embrace.

Jeongin took Jisung outside of the room.

"Call Chan."

"Why?", Jisung asked.

"Because..."

Jeongin looked back at Hyunjin.

"...those aren't medicinal bruises."
