The end of their first world tour was near.

Finally.

No more hectic schedules, no more jetlags, no more concerts.

Of course, Enhypen members where extremely excited about their tour, especially since they were going to meet some international Engenes as well.

But it was so long and they didn't have much time to sit and relax. They had to go city after city, country after country. They gave their everything during the concerts, even when they had to perform two days in a row.

All of them really enjoyed this brand new experience and are looking forward to their future tours. But right now it had consumed their energy till the last bit and it was taking a toll on everyone, especially their maknae.

Fortunately, Enhypen would benefit from a few days off when they get back home but it's only a matter of time before they would have to go back to their schedule.

Of course it won't be as tight as their pre-tour schedule but they really expected a little more than four days of rest right after their exhausting journey.

They already have the leader's birthday live planned on the 9th and they'll have to attend a few shows and perform later that week.

At least they didn't have a to practice 24/7 and will have other occasions to rest later in February as they don't have much planned.

. . .

The plane just landed at Incheon International Airport.

Finally home.

As soon as they made their way through the airport with their bodyguards, a crowd of yelling fans formed around them.

The bodyguards did their best to keep the boys safe, using their own body as an armour against the excited crowd.

Enhypen was already extremely tired from the flight back home and they still had about half an hour,if there wasn't too much traffic, before actually getting back to the dorms.

They probably werent in the mood to deal with this but they still smiled and waved at their fans.

However, Riki, the youngest, just kept his head lowered.

He didn't get to fall asleep on the plane, nor last night.

Their last concert was yesterday, they had finished quite late but they absolutely had to go back to the hotel, eat and prepare the suitcases cause they were leaving the next day in the morning.

During the five hour flight, he found himself shifting uncomfortably in his seat, unable to fall asleep despite his tiredness.

He always had trouble falling asleep when he wasn't home so flights and long distance travels were unsustainably hard.

Right now he really didn't have the strength to face their fans. His head was hurting, there was too many people around him, too much noise, the lights were too bright. Niki really just wanted to go home and curl in his bed with one of his hyungs taking care of him.

[They must feel the same.] The Dark haired boy thought to himself.

In fact, all of them are tired.

Sunghoon even actually collapsed last time at the airport.

[They're all exhausted but they try their best to support it so I should do the same.] The maknae tried to encourage himself.

Riki was not really the clingy type of maknae. That's more like Sunoo, who didn't hesitate to initiate skinship with his hyungs every occasion he got.

Niki was more the mischevious, teasing type of maknae, the prankster. The independant one. He didn't like being babied most of the time so he couldn't just whine about being tired while everyone else was.

That's why he felt it was odd asking for attention now when the others were going through the same situation.

Niki lift his head to see if he was still following them and was immediately with a strong wave of dizziness.

He quickly lowered his gaze, taking in deep breaths as sweat was forming on his forehead.

His head felt like it was filled with clouds as the room started spinning a bit.

The youngest then extended his arm to try to reach one of his hyungs and fortunately succeeded.

– What is it- are you okay Riki-ah? Heeseung, the eldest asked when he felt a tug on his sleeve.

– Y-yeah, I'm just tired. Do you mind if I hold onto you while walking? Niki asked his voice wavering.

– No your good, are you sure you ok, though? You look a bit pale. Heeseung asked a little concerned.

– I'm okay hyung.

They didn't talk after that, Heeseung just nodded and helped the boy on their way to the van.

Once there, the take seats and the japanese boy instantly fell asleep.

– Is he okay? Sunghoon asked worriedly biting on his bottom lip.

– Tired, I guess. It's our first time being so active during such a long period of time, it must've taken its toll on him. Heeseung replied.

– Yeah, poor maknae. He must be tired. Jay said as the sad frown on his face deepened.

. . .

Once Enhypen arrived at the dorms, they didn't have the heart to wake their maknae up so they just carried him inside.

When he still didn't wake up, Jungwon frowned. He shared a room with Riki and he knew the boy was a pretty light sleeper. He would literally wake up because of the dimmest lights or the slightest noises.

So the leader was pretty surprised when he saw that the dark haired boy was still asleep despite the all carrying and the noises.

– He must be really tired, you wouldn't even have been able to carry him, normally. I mean he would've woken up as soon as the car had stopped. Jungwon said.

– Yeah, I'll take him to his room while we order something to eat. Jake said, piggyback riding Riki to his shared room.

.

– So what are we having? I'm starvin'. Jake said as soon as he came back.

– I know Niki has been craving jjajangmyeon, he asked if we could order it when we get back home, to celebrate our first tour. Jay suggested.

– Let's order some then.

They all agreed and took turns getting a shower. They were all tired, so they didn't plan anything other than relaxing and watching a movie, maybe.

Tomorrow they didn't have any schedule so they will just get some good rest and have fun together.

. . .

When the delivery girl ringed the doorbell, they thank her profusely and started setting up the living room to begin their cosy movie night.

Sunoo volunteered to go and wake their maknae, knowing none of them really wanted to get hit by his wrath.

Riki hated getting awoken. His sleep mustn't be interrupted or a bolt of lightning could struck them all.

Sunoo carefully opened the door and cringed when he nearly fell on the floor while teipping on a shoe, making a lot of noise.

He closed his eyes and sucked in a breath but Riki didn't even shift.

Sunoo was looking at the bed, where he could catch a glimpse of the small, curled up figure that was hidden under the blanket.

He smiled a little bit and carefully made his way to the bed.

But his smile quickly faded when he heard how shallow and fast the maknae's breathing sounded.

A thin pellicle of sweat was covering his forehead and his cheeks were tinted a light shade of pink.

Sunoo frowned. Was their maknae sick and he didn't tell them?

– Riki? He softly tried to wake him up

Nothing.

– Riki? He tried again, shaking the boy to get a reaction but there still was no response.

Worry was clearly written all over his face and he shook the boy a tad more frankly only to get a soft whimper in response.

Sunoo quickly got up to get the others.

– Guys, Niki isn't waking up. I don't think he's doing well, he looks pretty sick to me. He said in a hurry.

– But he hardly ever gets sick. Jake mentioned, his eyebrows furrowing.

All of them got up and followed Sunoo to the maknae and the leader's shared room.

Jungwon was the first to approach the sleeping boy and felt uneasy when his gaze met the paleness of his maknae face.

– Riki? Riki-ah, wake up buddy, we have to eat. He tried, shaking him quite violently.

.

– Hyung, I think I don't feel alright. Riki said after a few seconds of silence.

– Are you nauseous?  Dizzy? It looks like you have a pretty hight fever Niki, why didn't you tell us before? Sunghoon said, his palm on the maknae's forehead.

Niki took some time to process all the information. He then rambled some kind of answer while resting his hand on his hyung's cold one.

That feeling on his forehead.

It felt good.

– What was that? I couldn't get it. Sunghoon asked, caressing his forehead with his thumb.

– I didn't know I was sick... I thought I was just tired and everyone felt the same. He whispered, at the brink of falling asleep again.

– Ooooh, you poor thing. I'll get the thermometer to check your temperature. Jay said, quickly going to the bathroom to fetch what he needs.

– Here, open up, aaaaah. He said as though he was talking to a child.

The youngest does just as he was told and they all waited until the thermometer beeps.

– 39.4°C (≈ 103F), oh my god, that is actually pretty high. Heeseung gasped.

– O-okay, no panicking. Let's just try and handle this situation like grown adults. We need to lower his temperature for now, we'll call a doctor if it doesn't get any better tomorrow morning. Jake stated.

– Riki-ah, you're going to have to take a bath, mind if I undress you ? Jungwon asked but he got no response.

He look up at the maknae face and noticed he fell back asleep.

– Riki? Riki! He shook the boy vigorously.

– Hyung, please stop it, it hurts. The younger moaned.

– Riki-ah, you have a pretty high fever, we need to lower your temperature, so you're gonna have a bath. Are you okay with me undressing you? Jungwon asked again, trying to catch the unfocused eyes of the maknae.

– Hyuuuuung, I don't want everyone to see me naked, pleaseee. He whined, tears welling in his eyes.

– O-okay Riki, no worries about that, okay? What about just me, huh? I won't look, I promise. Jungwon insisted.

– I want Heeseungie hyung. He mumbled.

– Okay, Heeseung hyung will help you, yeah?

– Okayy. The youngest drowsily agreed.

They filled the tub with luke warm water and Sunoo carried the boy to the bathroom with Sunghoon's help.

They then exited the bathroom to give their eldest and their maknae some space.

Heeseung helped the smaller boy undressing, leaving his underwear on so he didn't get embarrassed and helped him in the tub.

Riki immediately yelped and started trembling when the water came in contact with his body.

– H-hyung, it's cold. I don't wanna d-do this. He said, his teeth clattering.

– I know sweetie, but we have to lower your temperature,  it'll be over before you know then maybe we can get you to eat something? Heeseung said softly.

– O-okay. He answered.

He was slowly dozing off as Heeseung was washing his hair, massaging his scalp allowing the youngest to relax thanks his hyung's fairy fingertips.

– Here Riki-ah, you can come out now. Heeseung murmured, to not startle the other.

– N-noooo, I like it here, it's relaxing. He said, his teeth still clattering from time to time.

– Yeah but the water is starting to get cold, we don't want you to get sicker now, do we? Heeseung asked softly brushing a few strand of hair off of his maknae's face.

– No. Niki answered with a pout.

He really liked it when his hyung massaged his scalp, it made the headache hammer a little less painfully.

– Let's get you dressed into comfy pj's and join the others, we were initially about to watch a movie but we can do something else if you'd prefer.

– Uh--nothing

– You can tell me you know? Heeseung said, drying the drowsy boy's hair.

– No, it's fine. He said, his cheeks a little redder than they were.

– Riki..

– I‐I don't feel like watching a movie, my head and eyes hurt...

– It's alright, you don't have to honey, you can just sleep it off if you'd rather do so. The eldest suggested, smiling.

– But I-I wanna be with you..

Heeseung laughed heartedly while Riki was hiding his face out of embarrassment.

He knew he shouldn't have told him, this was not like him to ask for attention now he looked ridiculous.

– Heyy.. it's alright you know, you could have just said so, the others will be really happy to know you wanna stay with them. Heeseung started , holding the maknae's hand away from his face.

He smiled when the other wouldn't meet his gaze.

– Look at me Riki, it's alright to need attention sometimes. None of us will make fun of you for that, okay? He said, guessing the boy's thoughts.

– But-

– It's not like you? That doesn't make you less our maknae. We respect your desire of independance and the fact that you don't really like skinship. But it's okay to need attention and cuddles sometimes.

– Thank you, hyung.

– Let's go then. He said while adjusting Riki's t-shirt.

(Ofc he changed huh he wasn't gonna talk for 1h without getting dressed)

– Come on, I'll carry you. The eldest said, presenting his back to the other.

– I can walk on my own, hyung. I could just hold your hand. Riki affirmed.

– Is it so? You really seemed exhausted earlier.

Niki hesitated. He was still exhausted. But he knew his hyung didn't get to rest since they came back to the dorms.

He bit his lip, hesitating again and was caught off guard when Heeseung took his legs, forcing him to put his arms around his hyungs neck to not fall as the oldest was standing up.

– Hyuuuuung! We could've gotten hurt! He yelped hastily.

– I wouldn't have done it if I thought it would have hurt you. Stop refraining from asking help. Lean on us, Riki.

Riki didn't say anything and backhugged his hyung as a silent thank you.

.

– How are you feeling Niki? Jay asked,  stiring in the congee he was cooking for the youngest.

They figured he would feel nauseous and queasy because of his fever.

God, we're they wrong.

– Hyuuuung, I'm starvingg. He whined as he and Heeseung entered the kitchen.

– Oh,, aren't you nauseous or anything? You feel okay enoughtoeat? Jay asked, surprised.

The boy just nodded, hiding his face in the crook of his hyungs neck as Jay smiled at both of them before mouthing a silent 'asleep' to Heeseung.

The eldest carefully put the boy on the couch, his head now resting on Sunghoon's tighs.

The latter started to carress his hair, earning a few sighs, indicating it felt nice.

– Does he still feel warm? Jay asked.

– Yeah, kinda. Could you get him a fever patch? Sunghoon asked, his fingers twirling the maknae's hair.

Jay nodded and came back, delicately brushing the hair out of the way and placing the patch on the sleeping boy's forehead.

– Here, get better soon. He whispered in a caring way.

Sunghoon smiled a their youngest member and stayed like this for about half an hour, all of them gathered in the living room, quietly chatting.

They were careful not to do to much noise to not wake the boy up even when he seems so deep in his dreamland.

After a few more minutes, Riki woke up again, still drowsy from his fever. But the scent of the freshly heated jjajangmyeon filled the air and pulled him out of his slumber.

– Hyungg. He said to no one in particular, rubbing his eyes with his fists

– Heyy, did we wake you up? Sunoo asked, caressing his face, smiling when the youngest leaned against his hand.

– No, I'm hungry and it smells good. He said, making the others laugh.

– Okayy, prince, do you think you can sit ? Sunghoon said trying to help him.

– Yeah, did you watch the movie? He asked curiously.

– No, we were just there, chatting and waiting for you to wake up before eating but Jake hyung couldn't wait any longer. Jungwon said, laughing a bit.

– You could've woken me up, didn't have to wait.. The feverish boy said, slightly embarrassed.

– Heeseungie hyung told us you wanted to stay with us, we didn't want you to feel akward, eating on your own. Jay answered simply.

– Thank you. He murmured.

– Here, eat and take this. You'll feel better soon, I promise. Jake said, giving Sunghoon a plate and putting the medication on the coffee table.

– I can eat on my own, hyung.

– Awee, I wanted to feed you, it's not everyday we can take care of you . Sunghoon said, faking a pout.

– I really appreciate it, thank you for taking care of me. Riki said gratefully.

– It's alright Niki, no need to thank us. Just eat and drink a lot of water then let's watch that movie while cuddling, yeah? Sunoo said, cheering him up.

– Yeahh!

. .

– He fell asleep. Jay said, his eyes going soft for the boy who was cuddling onto him.

– He's so cute. Jake cooed.

– I hope he gets better soon. Heeseung added.

Niki shifted a bit in his sleep.

– Shhhh! You're gonna wake him up. Jungwon said, softly playing with the maknae's hair.

. . .

A few hours have passed and everyone was asleep, piled up on the couch.

Jay woke up from his uncomfortable position and smiled when he saw his maknae's face burried onto his torso.

He carefully got out of his grip and woke Jake up.

They couldn't sleep like that or they would get aches from how uncomfortable their positions were.

Jake was the easiest to wake up and with his help, they could bring a few futons to the living room so they all could sleep there together.

– Jake? He whispered, shaking the sleeping boy lightly.

– Mhhh? He replied half asleep.

– Let's get a few futons so we can sleep here or else they'll all wake up in pain. Jay said, stretching his limbs.

– Yeah, let's do this.

They silently put 6 futons on the floor to form a huge rectangle that was covering three quarters of the living room's floor. They then put sheets and blankets and started waking the others up.

– Hyung, shouldn't we check his temperature before going back to sleep? Sunghoon asked, his voice still a bit sleepy.

– Could you do that for me? Jake asked while waking the maknae up and gettingrid of the patch on his forehead.

– Niki? Lemme check your temp before we go back to sleep hun, it'll be quick.

The youngest groaned and opened his mouth, eyes still closed.

Sunghoon waited for the beep and read the screen.

– 38°C (100,4F), it's getting better. He sighed in relief.

Sunoo placed another patch on the maknae's forehead, then carried him in the center of their huge bed and gently laid him down.

The maknae immediately curled into a ball and everyone cuddled onto him before falling back asleep.
