#anemic mc

Most of theseI kept to pretty vague dizzy/low blood pressure, but I got more specificsometimes, especially with Jaehee, I referenced a specific condition that’soften called POTS. It’s not common but causes low blood pressure and dizziness.

Anyways, hopeyou like this!

Jumin

He was doingsome work from home while you were looking at some RFA papers

Elizabeth the3rd wanted a snack, and you couldn’t say no to her sweet face

As you standup, your head rushes with the familiar floating feeling

But it’sworse than the average dizziness that comes with standing up

You don’trealize you’ve fallen over until the darkness clears from your vision and Juminis crouched over you, panic in his eyes as he holds your head

You try tocalm him down, realizing yourself that you’ve forgotten to eat anything todaywhich led to this

He wants totake you to a doctor immediately

After youexplain what happened, he’s not as worried, but still sets you up with a doctor

He wants toset up an eating schedule for you, but that feels too suffocating for you

So instead,he sets up an eating schedule for himself and asks you to join him whenever hegoes to eat

If he’s awayat the office for most of the day, he’ll often invite you to lunch with him

If he’s toobusy even for that, he’ll have Jaehee call to check in on you

Zen

You werehelping him practice his lines one afternoon

It’s a niceday, the two of you are outside to get some sun

He’s standing,trying to start blocking his movements out along with practicing his lines,while you are curled up in a plastic lawn chair with a copy of the script to helpprompt him

It’s warmout, not uncomfortable, but you’re sitting in the sun and have gotten a littlesweaty over time

Eventually, yousuggest a break, both so you can get a drink of water and so that Zen doesn’toverexert himself

He readilyagrees and is about to run inside to get drinks for the both of you, but youinsist that he should sit down, and that you can get drinks

You’vealready started standing up while you’re saying this

You’ve beenout in the sun for a while, without any water

You wobble,your knees giving out as you begin to fall back

Zen’s at yourside before you hit the ground, letting you lean against him

All you canthink about is how you’d dropped the script that you were using to help Zenwith

He assuresyou that the script doesn’t matter as he helps walk you inside

As you walk, ormore accurately, stumble, your legs start to regain feeling

You explainyour condition to him as you sip water and rest

From then on,Zen makes sure either you or him always has some water and a snack

Yoosung

The two ofyou have been gaming all day

Yeah, it’snot the most responsible use of a day, but you’ve both been working a lot andyour days off have aligned for once

So, yousuggested starting up the old Grey Station console and gaming for a bit, sinceit’s been a while since you and Yoosung played together

You hadn’t plannedon gaming for the entire day, but one minute the clock reads noon, the next it readsnearly 6 pm

After a matchfinishes, you stretch leaning back and suggesting the two of you pause and getsome food

Yoosung isexcited by this, and goes even further to offer making dinner together, whichyou love

He jumps up,wincing as his back pops and makes a joke about how he’s getting old

You pushyourself out of the beanbag and get a whole three steps before the floor is suddenlyrushing up towards you

You manage tocatch yourself against the wall and a desk, but in the process, knock over somefiles

Yoosung hearsthe noise and isn’t far ahead of you anyway, and he rushes over to you, alreadyasking what’s wrong

He helps yousit down at the chair of the desk you just caught yourself on before rushing toget you some water and any easy snack he can find in the kitchen

You hadmentioned your anemia a while ago, but you manage yourself and your needspretty well

It’s been awhile since you’ve lapsed like this

After you’refeeling better, Yoosung makes an easy dinner of chicken and rice

Yoosung doeshis best to drop small reminders after that, he starts sending pictures of hismeals like he used to when you first joined the RFA

If he hastime before work, he’ll leave a packed lunch for you in the fridge with notes

He truststhat you can manage your health without him pestering you, so he tries to limithow much he reminds or asks you about if you’ve eaten

Jaehee

You initiallymentioned a doctor’s visit about week after joining the RFA, and while the twoof you were finalizing the café plans, you explained your condition to herfully

She would sometimescome with you to your appointments, though she usually stayed in the waitingroom unless you were getting a transfusion, then she’d keep you company

She liked tostay updated, but your condition doesn’t change much, so the two of you don’tdiscuss it much

One night,after a particularly busy day, you’re wrapping things up in the kitchen,preparing for tomorrow, while Jaehee finishes double checking all of thepaperwork

Your limbsfeel like dead weight while your balance is wobbly, at best

But you’rejust tired, that’s all, nothing more

Wiping yourforehead, you go to sit down on a chair

You don’trealize you’ve missed the seat until your head hits the wall and your legscollapse, unable to hold your wait in that position

You hear achair clatter from the other room as Jaehee jumps up to run over to you

You groan,rubbing your head as she helps you stand up and sit in the chair that you justattempted to sit in

She’schecking your head, looking for any injury or signs of concussions

She waitsuntil she’s confirmed that you’re only mildly shaken up before releasing astream of questions and mild lecture points

As she’sgoing on, she pulls out a bag of pretzels from the cabinet that’s for the twoof you specifically, handing the bag to you

You begineating, the salt quickly helping your lightheadedness, though you’re still outof it

Jaehee sighs,going quiet and staring at you

She justwants to make sure you take care of yourself

Later, sheasks to go over your care plan with you, to better understand the best ways tohelp you

If shenotices you’ve been working extra hard for longer or look unsteady, she’ll haveyou sit down and take a short break

Seven

You don’thave much of an official documented condition, you don’t feel that your symptomsare bad enough to go to a doctor

So, Seven doesn’tsee anything in the background check he ran on you when you first joined the RFA

And for the mostpart, you’re healthy and good

There were afew times when running from Rika where you had to stop and get yourself together,but Seven assumed that was due to the circumstances

He has plentyof snacks throughout his house, so you’re able to keep your blood pressure niceand high, maybe a little too high sometimes, Seven’s got a lot of chips in thatplace

So, you getcomfortable, think less and less about how much you’ve eaten each day, if you’rea little dizzy sometimes, well, that’s not uncommon and it doesn’t stop youfrom doing anything

Your holdingyour ground against Seven one evening, his voice echoing through the game micand from the next room over, the sounds overlapping

You’ve beenplaying together for a while, and your fingers are starting to drag across the keys

Sighing, youcall out defeat, pausing the game and falling back into your seat

You see Seven’shead poke out through the door frame; his face plastered with a grin

You ask if hecan grab you a drink, maybe Ph.D. Pepper if he’s feeling generous

He agreeshappily and disappears, returning in a moment with a can of soda in his hand,which he hands to you

You reach outto take the offered drink, you feel your fingers wrap around the cold metal

It wasn’t anunusual movement for you, you’ve picked up more cups and cans than you cancount in your life

But somehow, youwatched the can settle in your hand for half a second before slipping, thenfalling and clattering the floor, soda spilling out

You try tojump up, but in the process barely catch your laptop from falling off of you,and then Seven catches you as you start to stumble

He’sconcerned, his face lined with worry as you try to catch your breath andprocess everything that just happened

You start tostruggle, saying you need to clean up the soda before it stains, but Seveninsists you sit down, the floor isn’t that important anyway

After youpromise that you’ll stay sitting, he grabs a towel, at your insistence thistime, then he tries to talk to you

You try toexplain, but there isn’t much to tell, just that if you don’t eat or movearound too much, etc. you get dizzy sometimes

Eventually,you agree to see a doctor, just to ensure that nothing too serious is happening

There isn’tmuch the doctor can do, just a simple prescription that’s more “as needed” thanregular, but in a way, it’s comforting for you, a confirmation that you’re not makingthings up or overreacting
