Jimin
when he is sick
Jimin woke up feeling completely miserable. His voice was gone, his throat hurt, and he had a killer headache. You were still sleeping and Jimin didn't want to wake you up, so he quietly crawled out of bed and went downstairs to the kitchen to make himself a tea to soothe his sore throat. He was rummaging through the cupboards trying to find tea bags, but he actually had no clue where you put them. His limbs felt heavy, and he felt exhausted even though he had just woken up. Giving up, he curled on top of the couch and turned on the tv.
When you woke up and saw that Jimin wasn't laying next to you, you strolled downstairs only to find him curled up on the couch, watching Spongebob. He hadn't noticed you standing in the doorway. Your eyes fell upon his small bare feet and arms wrapped around himself.
Quietly giggling to yourself, you assumed that he had probably been to lazy to get up and get himself a blanket from upstairs.
"Jiminshie why did you leave me behind all alone ?" you whined, walking into the room. He looked up at you, smiling apologetically.
"I am-" his voiced cracked, and he coughed, "I am sick" he repeated and your heart sank. You hated to see him sick. Kneeling down the couch beside him, you touched his forehead with the back of your hand, checking his temperature. He was hot, so you assumed he had a fever.
"What's wrong jagiya ?" you asked concerned, caressing his cheek.
"I think I have the flu" he told you in his hoarse voice.
"Oh no," you pouted, "I will take good care of you, honey." You placed a kiss on his forehead, before you got up and ran back upstairs to get him a blanket and some medicine. Once you were back in the living room, you covered him with the blanket and gave him a pill with a glass of water for his fever and headache.
"You should feel a little better in half an hour" you reassured him. His nose and cheeks were red and even though he felt miserable he looked absolutely adorable. Not able to help yourself, you kissed the tip of his nose, making him laugh, which then lead to him having a coughing fit, which made you laugh.
"You look so cute" you told him in a baby voice. He playfully rolled his eyes at you.
"Stop making fun of your sick boyfriend" he complained and you pinched his cheeks.
"But I am not making fun of you" you told him, "You are just too adorable."
"Cuddle me then" he said, grinning.
"I will but first I will make you some tea for your sore throat."
Heading to the kitchen, you made him and yourself some herbal tea. Returning to the living room with two mugs in your hand, you sat next to Jimin, who had sat up to make space for you. He was wrapped up in his blanket, sniffling.
Handing him his mug, he gratefully took it from you, thanking you as he carefully took a sip of the tea.
"Ah, jagiya I feel so miserable" he whined.
"I know honey, I am sorry" you said, putting a hand to his face and caressing his cheek. You were so weak for him; you wanted to protect him from all harm in this world. Trying to come up with ideas to make him feel better, you decided to run him a warm bubble bath and cook his favorite meal later on. For now, Jimin wanted to cuddle and watch cartoons. He put his head in your lap and wrapped and arm around your thigh. You caressed his hair and played with his locks, knowing that he loved that.
Instead of watching Spongebob you opted to watch Jimin, who was innocently smiling at the screen, laughing occasionally, sneezing now and then. Every time he sneezed, his cute little nose scrunched and you felt your heart melt. Adoringly you watched him, thanking the heavens above for having him in your life.
After three episodes of Sponegbob, Jimin fell into a deep slumber. Careful not to wake him up, you lifted his head from your lap and got up, placing a pillow underneath his head instead. He shifted a little in his sleep but thankfully didn't wake up. Moving to the kitchen, you began to cook a soup for him and his favorite meal for dinner. Occasionally you would take a glance at him to see whether he was awake yet, but he was fast asleep.
Once you were done with cooking, you walked upstairs and ran a hot bubble bath for Jimin. It would surely help him relax. As you were about to go wake him up, you heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Soon enough Jimin's small figure appeared in the door frame, as he sneaked a glance inside.
"When did you wake up, babe ?" you asked.
"Just now" he said with a sleepy voice, as he walked inside to see what you were doing. "Are you going to take a bath ?"
"Not me" you told him, "But you are.
"You ran me a bath ?" he asked, eyes twinkling. Smiling softly at his adorable reaction, you nodded your head in confirmation.
"I thought it would make you feel better" you explained. Jimin happily got rid of his clothes and crawled into the tub, sinking into the bubbles. Sitting on the floor beside the tub, you watched him lean back. You talked about random things and goofed around a little, he blew foam into your face and you splashed water in his. You also washed his hair, massaging his scalp. When he leaned in to steal a kiss, you quickly moved away, smirking smugly.
"No kisses for sick Jimin" you told him sternly, making him pout. "I don't want to get sick."
"You barely get sick anyway, your boyfriend needs comfort" he whined.
"Nice try" you said, pinching his nose. Still pouting, he leaned back once again. Getting up from the floor, you looked down at your soaked shirt - well it was actually his.
"I will get changed and then get dinner ready" you informed him, "You should get dried and dressed."
"Okay, I will be downstairs in ten minutes" he mumbled, avoiding your eyes. You could tell that he was being a whiny baby and it had been your intention to tease him, so you were quite amused. Leaning down you gave his lips a quick peck. Immediately his face lit up as he smiled brightly, his face flustered.
Giggling at his reaction, you decided not to further tease him and left without commenting on it.
The both of you spent the rest of the evening cuddling on the sofa, watching Disney movies and eating lots of comfort food.
*A/N* my heart fucking melted as I wrote this. I am so soft for Jimin. help.
