    probably since it happened to me a few times but it was winter when it happened to siyeol so you can't really blame him from getting sick

    Actually! I read somewhere that the cold air (especially that goes into your nasal passages) can be disruptive of cell function and then disruptive of your immune response. That's why people get sick/have the flu easily when it's cold! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

    Maybe it's a climate thing? I live in northern europe and no one ever worries about getting cold and wet here. Some people will even bathe outside in the middle of winter. Parents leave their babies napping outside in their strollers even though it's -10C outside.

    Yeah, but i've never actually known anyone getting sick after becoming wet in the rain lol. And it can be pretty rainy and cold where i live. I remember trying to get sick by this a few times when i was little and didn't want to do scary presentations at school. Never worked! ┗( T﹏T )┛
    And you also need to be exposed to the right virus at the right time (or wrong virus at the wrong time, i guess).
