"What do you mean?"

Chaesoo knocked on the door to the bathroom as she waited for Ahyeong to exit.

They were supposed to leave together to practice a dance cover in fifteen minutes, but the Chinese-Korean still hadn't unlocked the door.

"I can't."

Ahyeong's voice was soft and shaken as she answered. There was no certainty in her vocal expression.

"Just tell me what's wrong so that I can help," The dark haired girl wiggled at the door handle once again. "Do you need me to get you medicine?"

"No. My ears keep ringing, and my head is killing me. Maybe I just need sleep."

Ahyeong was only a month younger than Chaesoo, so the pair were closest to each other out of all the members.

Both the main dancers, it worked out well that their main social media output was to record dance covers and do lives with their fans.

But for the past few weeks, even prior to Sunhwa's incident, Ahyeong had been acting strange. She was spacey and tired- and it seemed like the only person to take her shift in attitude seriously was Chaesoo.

Ahyeong was normally quiet, anyways.

"You've slept a lot. Maybe it's time we go to the doctor." The shortest member couldn't help but suggest.

Ahyeong twisted open the door, swinging it past Chaesoo and just barely missing her face. "Just give me a few more days."

"Fine. We'll record first thing tomorrow morning?" Crossing her arms, quite threateningly, Chaesoo attempted a compromise.

Ahyeong nodded.

"But if you don't feel better by tomorrow, I'm telling Damin! And our manager."

The threat was true.

So the Ahyeong spent the rest of the day sleeping in the apartment, and Chaesoo disappeared into the evening air.
