Today, Heeseung brought Riku out to enjoy a warm cafe for some comfort. We just took a cab and we had to be undercover wearing masks and hats. The cafe was quite empty so Heeseung sat me down somewhere in the back at the cafe where no one would see them.

"I'll buy you some hot chocolate okay ? Or do you want anything else ?"

"Anything is fine really, thanks."

Riku smiled as I hugged myself and lifted the hood of Jungwon's hoodie I borrowed. Without the mask, my face looked pale. The members thought Riku needed to stay away from Jay and Jake in the morning knowing how traumatised she would be.

The others had some schedule to do so Heeseung volunteered since he was free. As Heeseung was ordering some pastries and hot drinks, Riku kept covering her mouth as she coughed or sneezed. Heeseung came back with a tray and took off his jacket for Riku.

"Do you want to go to a nearby clinic or something ? You sound and even look awful like this."

"C-can we t-though ?"

"You should really, then later just rest in the room. Haih, why did you do that last night really ?"

Heeseung said while handing Riku her hot chocolate and helping her eat pastries.

"I just thought of getting fresh air... I s-swear though I wasn't trying to run away !! I-i just-"

"I know... but Jay and Jake were a little possessive so we couldn't do anything either. "I know... but Jay and Jake were a little possessive so we couldn't do anything either. So let's just get you checked, okay ?"

Riku nodded while she huffed up another sneeze while Heeseung handed her a tissue.

.

"Make sure she rests well and does not move around too much. I don't know how she could handle walking with a twisted ankle. These are your medications, please follow and take them according to the list."

The doctor said handing a small container that had multiple medications for Riku to take.

"Alright, thanks doc."

Heeseung said, standing up and bowing. Riku did too except now she was sitting on the wheelchair, forbidden to use her legs for a while. Heeseung placed the box on Riku's lap and pushed her out of the clinic. Riku felt really guilty as she looked at the box of medication.

"Heeseung..."

He hummed as he helped her into the car.

"Wait, let me just get into the car real quick."

He said closing the door on Riku's side and running to go in from the other side. Once the driver had started driving the car, Heeseung passed Riku her unfinished drink from the cafe."

"You were saying something ?"

"Don't you think I'm troublesome ? I keep doing bad things-"

"Hey, no matter what you do, it's always because of fear. You're scared that we might do something to you. Right ? So, some of the members and I think it's normal for you to have this kind of reaction. It's okay, you'll get used to being around us soon. Like all of us have said before, if you feel frustrated or scared in any way, come find one of us."

He said while wiping Riku's tears.

"Let's just try to be happy okay ? We have never seen you happy or smile, Riku. But we're gonna try our best to do so."

Riku nodded while sipping on the chocolate drink she was holding.

"Thanks for bringing me out today... It was NiCe-"

Riku covered her mouth as her voice cracked. She hit Heeseung's shoulder who was laughing at her.

"What ? It was cute. Aish, that's why you should drink lots of water and eat properly."

He said, still laughing. Riku looked out the window, sulking.

.

Riku had a shower as they came back. The members tried to make sure Riku avoided Jake and Jay for the rest of the day so she could rest for a bit. Sunghoon was lying down next to her as Sunoo helped her take her medication. There were a number of pills she had to swallow. Riku felt really bloated after drinking a ton of water to swallow the pills.

Sunoo went out of the room while Sunghoon helped Riku fall asleep. Her eyes were closing each time Sunghoon patted her back.

"Rest, you'll need it. Don't worry about anything else."
