A Fear Behind Senses

Hyunjin had though he'd done well. Worn his mask when needed, over his nose, over his mouth. He washed his hands regularly, after the bathroom and after any other occasion. He sanitized his hands after every outgoing, every touch, every prod.

He'd distance himself from the world, excluding his brothers of course, when the mask was off. Either to give space to himself, or to others who appreciated it. He'd avoided big crowds, tight spaces, to much breathing for one area. He'd done well.

Done well enough to the point that when he woke with a stuffy nose, he discarded it for allergies, it was the time of year for them, so it made sense.

He had opened his eyes, taking his first conscious breath of the day, and immediately found the struggle. One nostril seemed to be more stuffed than the other, putting a slight stunt to any smelling or tasting. But it's just allergies, it had to be allergies. And even for As many times as he told himself that he still began to worry.

He was overthinking the simplest thing, and it was gut wrenching. Climbing out of bed, his muscles ached from the previous days practice, he'd stayed out a bit later than Chan wanted. So a sore body was par for the course.

Walking out of his shared but currently empty room, the house was already lively. Some members on the couch watching some drama that Hyunjin had yet to start, some in the kitchen, from the slight smell of it, making breakfast.

Smell. Hyunjin felt a sense of relief, he could smell. Following the delicious sent he could pick up, he walked into the kitchen where Minho and Felix seemed to be dissolved into their own cooking world. "Good mornin'." Hyunjin mumbled, walking over to the fridge to grab some fruit before making his way to the blender.

"Morning Hyunjinnie!" Felix greeted in return as he carefully flipped an egg on the pan. Minho also mumbled a 'Good morning' and with that he probably woke up not much earlier than Hyunjin.

Hyunjin had placed his assortment of fruits by the blender before looking over felix's shoulder. "It's just simple eggs and toast today Jinnie." Hyunjin hummed over Felix shoulder, it sounded good, and he could already feel his mouth watering.

Walking back to the blender, he added his almond milk before throwing in some strawberries, bananas, his finishing touch being a little bit of honey. Turning the blender on, the loud noise rang in his ears for a little bit before they got used to such sound so early in the morning.

But from the looks of it, he finished making his smoothie just as Felix and Minho finished with the eggs and toast. Shoot, he probably should've asked it anyone else wanted a smoothie. But there was some of the smoothie left in the pitcher after Hyunjin poured his own cup, and he could already see Seungmin staring it down.

Hyunjin quietly chuckled before grabbing another glass and pouring the rest of the smoothie in it for Seungmin. When Hyunjin motioned towards the cup after making eye contact with Seungmin, said boy bounced over like a puppy, quietly thanking Hyunjin before he took a sip.

"Alright! Breakfast!" Minho called, setting the plate of toast in the center of the small table, along with some butter and jelly for those who wanted.  He also placed down a plate of eggs so that the boys could grab their filling.
