"It's just a game, Yunho-ah! You don't have to be so upset by it! Calm down, will you?" San said while shaking his head as Yunho was still complaining to the other members. "I am calm! But if you guys followed my advice just now we would've won! Min! You should've gone to the other side and attacked the enemies from behind but you didn't listen to me!" Yunho complained again, making the others roll their eyes at him.

"Relax, bub. The game had ended already." Mingi said softly, trying to calm his bub down but Yunho only huffed at him and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Well we could've won!"

Mingi closed his eyes in frustration as he really hated it when Yunho became like this. Fighting with him when it was only just a game and he felt like he should reprimand his bub and give him a scolding. "Bub. It's just a game. Why are you making this as a big deal? I don't want to fight with you over these little things."

"I'm not making this into a big deal! I'm just saying that if you listened to me, we could've won!" Yunho protested making Mingi huffed and put both of his hands up in a surrender gesture.

"Fine. If you wanna be this way then I'm just going to ignore you until you have matured yourself. It's just a game and we don't even need to have this conversation but you still want to fight with everyone."

Yunho glared at Mingi before hissing at him, "Fine! Do that then! I'm going to ignore you too!" Yunho then walked out of the waiting room without waiting for the others as they watched Yunho while shaking their heads. "Let him be, guys. He'll come through." Mingi said and they shrugged before walking out of the waiting room.

--

Yunho and Mingi had been ignoring each other for over 2 weeks after that day. Neither of them backed down but Yunho had been feeling down after 3 days of their fights and tried to talk to Mingi again but the latter refused to because he still heard from Jongho that Yunho was still complaining about the game every night.

Yunho pouted when Mingi refused to sit beside him whenever they had meals together and he gave Yunho a silent treatment whenever Yunho tried to ask him some questions.

Yunho sighed, all alone on his bed while trying to think carefully about the fight. It was just a game.. I shouldn't have yelled and complained at them like that.. Why are you so competitive Yunho-ah?? Now Mingi won't talk to me and I missed him.. I want to cuddle him.. Yunho thought before flopping down on his bed, burying his face under his pillow.

Yunho scolded himself until he fell asleep that night.

"Hyung, wake up." Jongho shook Yunho's shoulder making the older groan before peeking his head out from under his pillow, looking blankly at Jongho. "Huh? Wha? What time issit?" Yunho mumbled sleepily. "It's 6 am. Manager hyung will be here to pick us up in half an hour. You should go shower, hyung. The bathroom is empty." Jongho said and Yunho nodded his head.

Yunho tried to wait and let Mingi go into the van first, in hope that he could sit beside him but his hope was crushed when Seonghwa flopped next to Mingi before he could enter the van and pouted, going to sit in front next to the manager instead.

Mingi ignored him for the rest of the day, making Yunho feel even sadder.

They were about to go to their van after finishing their schedules and were waiting outside of the venue when the rain suddenly came rushing down. The manager quickly ushered them into the venue but half of them were already wet including Yunho. He had been at the end of the line so he got wet the most out of them all.

Yunho shivered once he entered the venue, his clothes were wet and stuck to his skin as he hugged himself to try to warm his body but to no avail as he still felt cold. He wanted to go to Mingi to maybe hug him so he could warm himself but forced himself not to as he knew that the younger is still angry at him. Yunho leaned back on the wall by himself, watching the others with a pout when he saw Hongjoong cuddled close with Seonghwa, San with Wooyoung and Yeosang with both Mingi and Jongho.

Yunho bit his lips as he shivered again from the cold but luckily the manager called them to tell that their vans arrived outside. All of them quickly piled into the vans and Yunho kept shivering because of the air-conditioning and Seonghwa took pity on the cold boy and gave him one of the blankets that was lying there in the van, draping it on Yunho. Yunho gave the oldest a soft smile and buried himself under the blanket though it doesn't really help because the blanket is thin.

They arrived home 30 minutes later and Yunho gradually became worse. He had sneezed occasionally when they were in the van making Seonghwa, Jongho, Yeosang and San watch him with worry.

"Let Yunho shower first please, guys." Seonghwa said to the others and they nodded their heads as the oldest pushed Yunho softly, telling him to go shower quickly. Yunho obliges quietly and goes to shower. After the shower, Yunho developed a headache and his cold getting worse so he laid on the bed right after wearing his clothes.

"Hyung? Are you okay?" Jongho asked as he saw the tallest lying on the bed. Yunho smiled at Jongho, not wanting to worry the latter any further. "I'm fine. Just still a bit cold." Jongho hummed, not quite believing in Yunho's words but he let him when he felt Yunho's forehead and didn't feel any unusual warmth from it.

After that every single member came into the room to ask him if he's okay and Yunho slowly became annoyed so when Mingi, the last one to come into the room to ask Yunho if he's okay, Yunho exploded.

"I said I'm fine! Leave me the fuck alone for fuck sake! How many times do I have to say it??"

Mingi blinked and gaped at Yunho who had widened his eyes right after he blurted out those words. "Okay, jeez. Sorry for feeling worried about you for nothing then. I'm not going to bother you anymore." Mingi huffed and went out of the room before Yunho could stop him. Yunho rubbed his face in frustration before flopping down on the bed. I'll apologize tomorrow.. I'm too tired and this headache is not helping.. Yunho thought and fell asleep minutes later.

"Where's Yunho? He doesn't want to eat?" Seonghwa asked as he saw Mingi came into the kitchen with a frown on his face. "He's being a brat. Leave him be. I got yelled at because I wanted to know if he's fine or not." Mingi huffed and the others took pity on him and stopped questioning him.

Yunho woke up with a gasp and instantly sat on his bed, clutching his shirt while his breathing quickened. His vision swirled and he fell back onto the bad while trying to catch his breath. Yunho groaned softly when his breathing returned to normal and was about to bury himself under the blanket again when San came into the room.

"Oh, you're awake. Get ready, pup. The manager will come soon." San said quickly and rushed to his room to get ready. Yunho blinked slowly before whining. It doesn't feel like hours.. Why is it already morning..? Yunho whined before getting up from the bed slowly and when the room was not spinning again, he went to shower as fast as he could.

The day went blur for Yunho. He had developed a fever and he felt like his head was about to split into two. Yunho tried to talk to Mingi but their schedules today were so packed that he couldn't, making the taller one whine quietly when all he wanted was to cuddle with Mingi and Mingi taking care of him. He still diligently worked as professional as he could with his job though and didn't tell anyone about his fever to anyone.

Yunho kept shivering throughout the day and his headache had become a really bad migraine that he flinched whenever the light was on him and the blast of music blaring making him feel like fainting but he pushed through until the end of schedules.

Now all Yunho wants is to lie on his bed and sleep.

Yunho tried to sleep in the van but the others kept on talking and all, making Yunho feel like yelling again but he didn't want to upset the members anymore so he kept quiet. He didn't realize that Mingi was watching him and he became a bit worried and guilty that he didn't have any time to approach the taller throughout the day.

I'll talk to him in the dorm later Mingi thought and went back to listening to his music, looking out of the window.

They arrived at the dorm half an hour later and Yunho had fallen asleep though he had a fitful sleep instead.

Yunho woke up when Jongho shook his shoulders and hazily got out of the van, tailing them at the end of the line into the dorm. They all piled up at the entrance, taking off their shoes and Yunho struggled to get his shoes off making him staggered for a bit and bumped onto Mingi, making Mingi accidentally shoved him back in reflex with his shoulder.

Yunho yelped as he fell to the floor and his head bumped to the wall, making him burst into tears as he thought Mingi pushed him intentionally. With his hazy fever mind, he felt like everyone was still upset with him and all he wanted was for them to take care of him, mainly Mingi.

"I k-know you're upset with me b-but you don't have to p-push me like that!" Yunho sobbed as he tried to get up from the floor and failed to do so but he managed to when Seonghwa grabbed his arm and pulled him up with a worried expression. Yunho pulled his arm away from Seonghwa and he was trying to run to his room but his world was spinning suddenly, making him whimpered and was about to fall onto the floor.

Before Mingi rushed to him and prevented him from falling flat onto the floor. Mingi gasped softly when he felt Yunho unusual warmth radiating from his body and when Yunho tried to push him away, Mingi pulled him closer, kissing his forehead softly. "Bub, I'm not upset with you. Calm down please. I wasn't trying to push you away. It was a reflex." Mingi tried explaining and luckily Yunho stopped thrashing around in his arms, looking up at Mingi's face with tears in his eyes.

"Y-you wasn't..?"

"No, bub. It was an accident. I'm sorry."

Yunho scrunched up his face and burst into tears but he buried his face in Mingi's neck, clutching Mingi's shirt albeit weakly. "I'm s-sorry for w-what I did.. Please s-stop ignoring m-me.. I n-need you right now.. E-everything hurts.." Yunho sobbed and Mingi ran his hand on Yunho's back gently. "You're burning up, bub. Let's get you to bed." Mingi said and picked him up bridal style while the manager called for a doctor.

Jongho had followed Mingi to his room although he was a bit confused why the older didn't bring Yunho to 2Ho's room instead but he kept quiet. Mingi put Yunho down gently on his bed and only then he saw the confused look on Jongho's face. "I don't want you to catch his fever, so Yunho will be staying in my room until his fever broke. Okay?" Mingi explained and Jongho finally understood and nodded his head.

Mingi was about to go to the bathroom to wet a towel for Yunho's forehead but the latter quickly whined and grabbed Mingi's shirt, preventing him from going anywhere. "Stay! I t-tried to talk t-to you today b-but our s-schedules were so tight and p-pack.. I w-wanted to t-tell you s-since this m-morning.." Mingi sighed softly and went to sit on the bed, running his hand through Yunho's lock, making Yunho closed his eyes because Mingi's cold hand soothe his warm forehead.

"Me too, bub. I'm sorry.. I should've pushed everyone and tried to talk to you no matter what.."

Yunho shook his head and pouted. "No. I'm the one who s-should apologize.. I'm sorry for yelling at you yesterday and about the stupid g-game.. It's just that y-yesterday everyone asked me if I'm f-fine b-but I was getting annoyed because I w-wanted to sleep and I had a h-headache at the time so I accidentally lashed o-out at you instead.."

Jongho and Mingi sighed softly and Mingi was about to say something when Seonghwa and San walked into the room while bringing a bowl of water and a wet towel. "Sanie said that Yunho won't let you go anywhere so we got this for you instead." Seonghwa explained making Mingi chuckled and Yunho pouted. "Thank you, guys." Mingi took the bowl and put it on the side table and put the already wet towel on Yunho's forehead.

"Hongjoong hyung had ordered some food for all of us including Yunho's and the manager said he's coming with a doctor and will be here in about 20 minutes." San told Mingi, Jongho and Yunho.

Wooyoung then came in with Yeosang, peeking their heads inside and when Mingi let them in, only then they came into the room. Wooyoung sat on the bed, near Yunho's legs and put a hand on top of Yunho's legs, caressing it softly.

"How are you feeling, pup?" Wooyoung asked as Yeosang fussed over Yunho's towel on his forehead and checked his temperature on his neck.

"M'fine. My head hurts though.." Yunho answered and the others looked at him worriedly.

"The manager told me that you and Mingi won't have any schedules until you're well again. I'll leave my card with you guys so Mingi, make sure to order food for the both of you while we're at schedule." Hongjoong said as he already came into the room a while ago. Mingi nodded his head before paying full attention towards Yunho as the latter had whimpered while clutching at his head.

"Too l'ud.." Yunho whimpered and Mingi realized that yunho's headache had turned into a migraine so he looked over to the others. "Let him rest. It's the migraine. I'll take care of him." Mingi whispered and the others patted Yunho before going out of the room with Seonghwa telling Mingi to call them if anything happens.

--

"Baby, wake up." Mingi caressed Yunho's hair for a few times until the latter stirred from his sleep, looking up at Mingi with a hazy mind.

"Hmm..? M'sleepy.."

"I know bub, but you need to eat a little and then I'll let you sleep again." Mingi coaxed Yunho to sit up on the bed. The sick boy had fallen asleep after the doctor checked him up and gave him a shot for his fever before giving Mingi the medicines that he needs to eat from tomorrow onwards.

"But m'not hungry.." Yunho pouted and Mingi kissed his forehead, making Yunho leaning in. "You have to bub. Only for a little? Kay? I don't want your stomach to be upset." Mingi said and Yunho gave up, nodding his head but he was still pouting, making Mingi chuckled.

Mingi fed Yunho the chicken porridge and Yunho stopped when he couldn't take it anymore. Mingi let him and put the bowl away before putting back the wet towel on Yunho's forehead and sliding himself next to Yunho, pulling him closer. Yunho sighed on content and cuddled close to Mingi, closing his eyes and he fell asleep within minutes.
