TRIGGER WARNING: Fainting
Wayv were at dance practice, they were on their third hour and were starting to get tired.
Though they were used to the work, some of the members had a lower tolerance than others and sadly yang-yang was feeling the effects of a heavy workload.
He hadn't got a lot of sleep the previous night as he was up late working on some stuff for his upcoming solo project. He was given the opportunity to release his own album with five songs and a music video. This meant that on top of wayv schedules, yang-yang was extremely busy with his own workload.
He had felt tired and sore that morning when he woke up but didn't say anything not wanting to slow down the group.
Now he was three hours into dance practice and his body was very angry at him.
He felt a bit dizzy during their last run-through and it hadn't subsided during their water break.
He was leaning against the wall, his skin soaked with sweat, his chest heaving with heavy breaths.
"hey yang? You okay?" ten asked seeing how tired he looked.
"yeah, yeah I'm fine." He responded breathlessly.
"why don't we take a break? We need to grab some more water anyways." Kun suggested.
"that's right, we'll go run to the convenience store, you boys stay here and rest a bit okay?" win-win said as they gathered their things and left the room.
Xiaojun and hendery laid down on the floor dramatically whining.
"this dance is so stupid, why is it so hard?" hendery whined making xiaojun laugh.
"yah at least we actually are having a comeback finally."
"true. Very true." Hendery responded with a chuckle.
They sat back up and xiaojun's brows knitted together when he spotted yang-yang.
He was against the wall, his weight shifting from one foot to the other, heavy breaths coming from his lungs, his skin pale and sweaty.
He was resting his head on his forearm against the wall, his other hand gripping his chest.
"yang? Everything okay man?"
Yang-yang barely heard him, his voice sounding muffled and distorted like he was underwater. His ears were ringing and his head was spinning, his dizziness much stronger it was making his stomach churn.
When the younger didn't respond both older boys quickly got to their feet to check on the boy.
"yang-yang? Hey, are you sure you're alright? You look kinda sick." Hendery said placing a gentle hand on his shoulder.
Yang-yang took a step towards them trying to blink away his dizziness.
"I'm just...a little dizzy.."
Xiaojun and hendery exchanged looks to each other and turned back to yang-yang who was white as a sheet.
Yang-yang stumbled on his feet and xiaojun quickly held him upright.
"woah! Woah okay, you need to sit down yang, come on." Xiaojun began leading yang-yang to the bench feeling worried about his condition.
Before they made it however, yang-yang suddenly stopped, an alarmed expression on his face as he gripped xiaojun's sleeve.
"hey yang? What's wrong?"
Before he could answer, his eyes rolled to the back of his head and his knees buckled sending him barreling to the floor.
He hit the wood before xiaojun and hendery even had a chance to react.
"holy shit yang-yang!" hendery screamed, his body filling with panic.
"oh god, what do we do?! What do we do!?" xiaojun said as he knelt down and began fanning the unconscious boy with his hands.
"um, I don't know, I've never dealt with an unconscious person before!"
Xiaojun cursed under his breath and wracked his brain for solutions.
"aish, call kun! He'll know what to do."
Hendery nodded and sprinted over to his bag to get his phone. He watched xiaojun in the corner of his eyes as he held the phone up to his ear.
"hendery, we've been gone for ten minutes, what could you possibly need?"
"gege, yang-yang passed out!"
"wait what?!"
"he just collapsed! Xiaojun's trying to cool him off but we really don't know what to do..."
"okay, hey calm down hendery, take a deep breath for me."
Hendery did as he was told and listened to his leader carefully.
"we'll be there as soon as we can, for now take off his shirt and wipe down his skin with a cool washcloth. Support his head in one of your laps so he doesn't hurt himself if he moves okay?"
"okay gege."
"we'll be home in five minutes, don't panic, just do what I said alright?"
"yes gege I got it."
"okay, see you in five."
He hung up and rushed into the bathroom to get a cool washcloth.
When he returned he knelt down on the opposite side of xiaojun.
"what did he say?"
"he said to take off his shirt and wipe his skin. Here, ley his head in your lap first." Hendery gently lifted yang-yang's head and rested it on xiaojun's thigh.
He removed the younger's shirt and placed it on the floor next to him before he ran the cloth over his sweaty skin.
"how long is he supposed to stay unconscious?" xiaojun asked nervously.
"I'm not sure, he's only been out a few minutes, I'm sure he'll wake up soon. Just stay calm okay?" hendery assured as he continued to wipe yang-yang's arms and chest.
After two more minutes, the door opened and kun and ten ran in followed by win-win.
"how long has he been out?" kun asked as he joined them on the floor.
"about eight minutes gege." Xiaojun replied.
"okay, we should probably get him in bed, he probably over-exhausted himself during practice."
"gege is he gonna be okay?" hendery asked.
"don't worry guan Huang, he'll be just fine, he just needs some rest." Ten said gently placing his hand on hendery's shoulder.
"sichengie, can you help lift him up?" kun asked.
Sicheng quickly began lifting yang-yang out of xiaojun's lap being assisted by ten.
They laid him on kun's back before gathering up his belongings and following kun out of the practice room, the two younger boys carrying the eldest's bags.
They entered the dorm and put yang-yang in his bed with a cooling pack on his forehead after changing him out of his sweaty clothes.
they stayed in his room until he came to which happened a mere fifteen minutes later.
He stirred slightly, a tiny groan leaving his lips, his eyes blinking before peeling open.
"hey yang, can you hear me?" he recognized ten's voice and nodded as he tried to sit up. He felt a hand on his back and another voice.
"easy sweetheart, take it slow okay?" it was kun's voice.
He rested against his headboard feeling groggy and confused.
"what...what happened?" he asked with a tired voice.
"you passed out yang, you've been out for almost a half hour." Xiaojun explained.
Yang-yang's brows were knitted together trying to recall the event.
"really?"
"yeah kiddo, how are you feeling? Does your head hurt? Are you feeling sick at all?" kun asked with his hands gently stroking the boy's arms.
He shook his head.
"no, no I'm okay gege."
"you're sure?" Sicheng confirmed.
He nodded.
"okay. What do you remember before you fainted?" Sicheng asked trying to determine the cause for the boy's collapse.
"um, I remember feeling tired and sore, and then I got really dizzy. That's it."
"aish, were you feeling bad all practice?" ten asked.
"not really, I was just tired. I only felt dizzy during our last run."
"he told us he was feeling dizzy when we asked but he passed out literally right afterwards." Hendery said.
"sounds like you overdid it today, you've been working twice as much because of your solo, your body isn't used to it." Kun said.
Yang-yang nodded slowly feeling groggy and still very tired.
"I'm sorry gege, I didn't mean to ruin practice."
"hey, don't be sorry sweetheart, you didn't do anything wrong, you just need some rest that's all." Kun said softly rubbing yang-yang's thigh comfortingly.
"you didn't ruin anything yang, don't think that." Ten added.
"thank you for taking care of me." He said in a tired voice with droopy eyes.
The boys chuckled at him.
"anytime yang-yang."
"you looks sleepy bud, why don't you get some sleep hm?"
Yang-yang nodded and let ten lay him down and cover him with the blanket.
"you want one of us to stay?" Sicheng asked.
Yang-yang nodded with his eyes closed.
"want junnie." He said quietly.
They giggled at how cute he sounded.
Xiaojun slid into bed with yang-yang and pulled him against him so yang-yang could cuddle up to him.
"better?"
Yang-yang nodded into his chest.
"mhm."
He smiled and played with yang-yang's hair waving goodbye to the others as they left the room.
"get some rest yang, I'll be here if you need anything okay?"
"okay gege." He said before he wrapped himself around xiaojun and dozed off to sleep.
Xiaojun played with his hair while scrolling through Instagram with his other hand until he eventually dozed off himself.
A few hours later, kun and ten entered the room to check on the youngest stifling a giggle when they saw the two boys tangled up cuddled together on the small bed, xiaojun's hand still in yang-yang's hair.
Ten laughed as took a photo with his phone and they slowly left the room to show the others.
