"I don't feel well" Luhan finally managed to say, his voice was hoarse and his cheeks were pink.
Minseok frowned and placed the back of his hand on Luhan's forehead, checking his temperature and Luhan didn't protest.
"You're sick Luhannie" Minseok said. As if it wasn't obvious enough.
At the same time, Kris's head poke through the door, "You guys ready? We need to leave in - " The leader stopped and glanced at his watch, "10 minutes"
"But Luhan's -" Minseok wanted to protest but Luhan knew and grabbed his wrist, stopping him from saying anything else.
"It's okay, i'll be fine" Luhan smiled weakly and Minseok just wanted to scold him for trying to be tough but decided against it when Luhan gave him another reassuring smile.
Throughout the car ride, Minseok would glance over to check on Luhan from time to time. Luhan wanted to sit by the window because he didn't want the others to know he was sick and Minseok let him. Minseok wanted to hit himself when he forgot to give Luhan some medicine before they left, he only remembered when he caught Luhan trying to hold back a cough before they got in the car.
"You okay?" Minseok leaned in and whispered quietly, not wanting the others to hear. Though, Kris was too busy thinking about something while glancing out the window, Yixing was listening to music in the back, Tao and Jongdae were joking about something stupid. It was impossible for them to hear their conversation.
Luhan looked at Minseok and nodded, "Yeah, don't worry"
"How can i not" He wanted to say but didn't want to fight with Luhan when he was sick.
Minseok glanced over to the car clock and realized they still have another hour before arriving at their destination. He looked over to Luhan, who was slowly closing his eyes with his head pressed against the window. Minseok sighed when Luhan's body jolted and his head banged against the glass because they just drove over a road bump.
Without a second thought, Minseok reached over and gently pulled Luhan's head over to his shoulder.
"Here, use my shoulder instead" He mumbled.
Luhan shifted his body comfortably and muttered, "Thanks Minseok"
Minseok just smiled and let his head rested slightly against Luhan's. He took the other guy's hand in his and caressed it. He liked it, he liked comforting Luhan, he liked being there for Luhan since it was always the other way around. Luhan was always there for him, translated for him when the translator was too busy helping Jongdae out. Luhan was always there to playfully tease and bring smiles on his face, and Minseok wanted to do the same if not more.
"Luhan-ah, wake up. We're here" Minseok tapped Luhan's cheeks slightly. He frowned as he felt how hot Luhan's body was.
"Gosh, you should have rest at home" Minseok grumbled quietly, his eyes were filled with concern.
"I'm fine Minseok-ah, don't worry" Luhan smiled as he got out of the car, holding onto Minseok's back.
"How can i not ?" Minseok wanted to say again, but he didn't want to argue with Luhan so he shrugged it off.
Minseok wrapped his arm around Luhan's shoulder and held him tightly when Luhan almost tripped. He grimaced when he studied Luhan's face, it didn't take a brain surgeon to see how tired Luhan was, yet he managed to say that he was fine.What pained Minseok even more is that he had to watch Luhan going through all this and there wasn't much that he can do.
His attention was snapped back when Luhan's body was squished into his because of some pushing. He loved his fans. He appreciated them, really, but sometimes he just wish for
them to be a bit more considerate and would leave them alone, instead of
shoving cameras into their faces all the time. "What's so great about their faces anyway? " Minseok sometimes wondered. The slightly younger and taller male looked so lost and exhausted. Minseok winced at the sight.
"Hey, i'm here okay?" Minseok said softly, his hand squeezing Luhan's shoulder as he leaned in and whispered in Luhan's ear. He could hear some fans shouting "Xiuhan" in the back, probably thinking it was just fan service but it wasn't. There were even some shouting "Hunhan" as sign of protest and Minseok couldn't careless about that. His priority was Luhan and Luhan only.
"If you're tired, lean on me. If you feel faint, hold my hand. If you need anything, just tell me. Okay?"
Luhan smiled gratefully at Minseok and wrapped one of his arm around Minseok's waist, "Thanks Minseokie"
