Nurses ✙ Jaemin/Jeno
You're undergoing long-term treatment for a terrible rare genetic illness. While doctors hope your case will help others in the future, you feel like you're wasting your college years inside a sterile hospital undergoing countless treatments and tests. That's when nurses Jaemin and Jeno made it their unofficial job to spoil you and stay with you through all the difficult procedures and recoveries.You woke up from a scheduled nap, bleary and nauseous from another experimental antibiotic they'd administered in your sleep. A hand was stroking your hair, a soothing repetitive gesture.
The two nurses hadn't noticed you'd woken, and had grim expressions, talking in hushed Korean until Jaemin caught your waking and subsequent anxious expression and immediately recovered a smile.
"Afternoon, sleepyhead... how's this one treating you, then?" Jaemin looked a little hopeful about the antibiotic's outcome despite your discomfort. His soothing rubs and hair ruffles maybe would've been a breach of professionalism a few months earlier, but nowadays you were seeing these two more than your own shaky hands.
Jeno squatted beside your bedside to be on your level, since you didn't seem ready to sit up yet, brushing his fingers along your flushed cheeks. "I'm sorry we can't mix painkillers while we're testing this one."
