it had been a few days since jeongguk had messaged yoongi, and he was getting worried. even during their classes he'd barely speak and just did his work. yoongi was afraid he was skipping meals, but he couldn't control that.

deciding to text him again, he texted jeongguk, but once again got no reply. he sighed, leaning back onto his bed in stress. jeongguk, why were you doing this to him?! after about ten minutes, his phone buzzed.

yoongi left his dorm, remembering his keys and bag. before he left, he grabbed some medical stuff, but only a few things. jeongguk had definitely not been eating, so he'd need food, and yoongi was prepared to cook.

he entered the elevator, going down to the second floor before rushing down the hall to 227. he knocked on the door a few times before opening it. it was unlocked, like namjoon had said. he thanked his friend before shutting the door and manuvering around the dorm. he found the bedroom and entered, finding jeongguk curled under the blanket.

“jeongguk you brat.”

he walked over, setting his bag and keys down. jeongguk was definitely still awake, but not registering the noise. yoongi took his hands, putting one on jeongguk's shoulder and the other on his forehead. it was definitely hot. he grabbed the thermometer out of his bag.

“open your mouth and put this under your tongue,” yoongi instructed softly. jeongguk obliged, opening his mouth and flipping over so he could face yoongi.

“hyung?”

“stop talking. close your mouth,” yoongi said. jeongguk shut his mouth, and yoongi pressed the take temperature button. after a minute, it beeped. he took it out of jeongguk's mouth and checked the temperature.

“101° fahrenheit, jesus, jeongguk,” yoongi murmured. jeongguk frowned at him, avoiding eye contact.

“why didn't you tell me you were myg.med?”

“everything comes in due time. stay here,” yoongi said. he ran out into the kitchen, grabbing a cloth and a cup of water. he put cold water on the cloth and filled up the cup with cold water, too. he slowly walked back into the bedroom, setting everything on the bedside table. he took the cloth, putting it on jeongguk's forehead.

“what would you like to eat for lunch and dinner?”

“i don't care...”

“alright. i'll run out and get some ingredients. where's your key?”

jeongguk pointed to where his keys were hanging, and yoongi snatch them, leaving to go buy the ingredients he needed.
