it was Saturday evening, and Jungkook was finally off the tiring shift.
he got home at around 5 p.m.
he took a quick shower and ate last night's leftovers.
he was totally tired and decided to take a nap. he was fast asleep.
his eye lids felt heavy when he heard his phone ring from afar.
it took a few seconds for him to find out that he actually left his phone on kitchen counter when warming up the last night's leftovers.
he sat aside his blanket, got up and walked his way through the kitchen.
he didn't look at the caller ID and just pressed the answer button.
"hello?"
he could hear a weak "hi" at the other end of the reciever.
"is that you hobi hyung?"
"hmm it's me" his voice hoarse.
"are you okay hyung?" he asked worridly.
"I'm fine... don't worry"
"you don't seem like that, did something happen?"
"no... it's just I'm feeling under the weather"
"do you want me to check on you?"
"I actually called you for that" he coughed.
"when did your symptoms show up?"
"last night... I had a sore throat, but I slept through it"
"did you take any medicine?"
"no"
"that's okay, I'll be there in half an hour"
"thank you Jungkook-ah"
"that's nothing, bye for now"
"see you"
Jungkook was really confused, as to how jhope had brought himself to call him.
Jungkook was sure he put so much effort to it, because jhope was totally afraid of any medical procedure.
it could totally mean that he was feeling so bad that he somehow convinced himself to get checked up by a doctor.
Jungkook walked back to his room to get ready. it was past 7 p.m.
time skip
he finally reached jhope's home, he knocked on his door and waited for the door to be open by a faint pale face of a very tired jhope.
he had his face mask on so Jungkook wouldn't get sick.
"hello hyung" Jungkook said.
jhope coughed a few times before greeting him.
"come in"
they both headed to jhope's room.
"tell me how you're feeling hyung" Jungkook asked.
"are you going to examine me?" jhope asked, sitting down on his bed.
"hmm... it'd be better if we don't delay the process anymore, I promise I'll go on really slowly" he promised.
"I'm going to listen to your heartbeat at first to see if I feel any abnormality" he said, taking the stethoscope out of his bag.
"see?"
Jungkook put the bell on his chest.
"all you have to do is to take deep breaths for me... just like this"
his heart was beating fast, Jungkook noted. but it was normal in his case.
"you said you'd been having a sore throat since yesterday"
jhope nodded.
"I want to check your throat"
jhope removed his face mask, meanwhile Jungkook lit the torch and could see a few swellings at the back of his throat.
"okay, I need to take your blood pressure and temperature too"
he pulled the thermometer out of his bag.
"you need to hold this under your tounge to see if you're running a fever"
"it's 101, you are having a fever"
"is it bad?" jhope asked.
"it's not good" Jungkook answered.
"a sore throat, fever, cough... anything else?" Jungkook asked.
"I'm feeling so tired"
"expectable" Jungkook said raising his eyebrows.
it'd be a long day for jhope...
