The next day, Riku felt really nauseous and didn't want to eat nor take her medication. She was clinging onto Sunghoon as they laid down. Some of the members were in the room trying to calm her down and get her to eat a small meal.

"Riku, you need to eat something. Don't you want to get better ? It's okay, we'll always be here if you need anything"

Riku was feeling chest pains and headaches. Sunghoon sighed feeling a little impatient, he sat Riku up and held her hands down.

"Feed her. C'mon Riku, just one bite. Chew as long as you want to but you need to eat."

Riku was crying out but she couldn't get out of Sunghoon's grasp because she was weak. Jungwon brought the spoon near her mouth and fed her. She gave up and just opened her mouth.

She only ended up eating half of the meal but it was better than nothing. She had her medications while Sunghoon and Ni-Ki stayed in the room. Before she felt herself dozing off again, she mumbled something under her breath.

"Can I please have something to cuddle with and get warm instead of you next time ?"

Riku closed her eyes. Sunghoon smiled and pushed her bangs away from her face. He then whispered back.

"sure."

.

It had been two days and they were still at I-LAND. Riku's fever had gone down but the member still did not let her move around much. Sunghoon had gotten her an elephant plushie that was half the size of her. She woke up to see Sunoo and Sunghoon were still sleeping.

Riku regretted only eating a little bit for dinner last night because now she was starving. She didn't want to wake anybody up since she knew they were tired because of schedules and taking care of her.

Riku managed to slip out of the bed and into her wheelchair safely. Luckily the door was open. She pushed herself out of the room and tried to go to the kitchen. When she got there, she saw a person. It was Jake.

Riku froze for a second not knowing what to do. But for sure, she was still scared of him. Jake slowly approached her and helped her up the platform.

"Are you hungry ? I can make you something if you want."

Riku just nodded and avoided making eye contact with him. Jake sighed and crouched down to her level.

"Please look at me. I'm sorry for what I did. Jay and I felt guilty for the past few days but you do understand why we did that r-right ?"

He said, tearing up. Riku felt panicked inside as she remembered that night's incident.

"Look, we just care about you okay... We never meant to hurt you like that. It's just... complicated."

He mumbled.

"I-i don't mean to make you worried and sad all the t-time about me too... I-i was just s-scared-"

Jake hugged her and the two cried softly. A few minutes later, Jake stood up smiling.

"I'll make you something to eat okay. Wait here."

He said, pushing Riku to the table. Jake poured her a glass of strawberry milk to drink while waiting for him to cook.

Let's just say, Jake did make breakfast but also almost burned the kitchen down along the way.

.

Another 4 days passed and they were finally going back to Korea. Riku was happy as she heard that but turns out they were not going back to the actual apartment. Instead they had to go to various places to shoot MV scenes and EN O'CLOCK.

They were all sitting in the bus while Riku was hugging that dear elephant plush of hers. She watched as Ni-Ki played the Nintendo with Heeseung. Ni-Ki saw her just staring at him.

"Wanna try ? I'll teach you."

Riku's eyes widened and smiled brightly for a second. Ni-ki moved closer to her and taught her which controls to press. Riku played a few rounds with Heeseung and got the hang of it. The journey to the airport was very healing as all of them heard Riku laughing and having fun in the back seat.

.

The arrived in Korea and tried to rest as much as they could before continuing their schedules for the next day. The members went to put their luggage upstairs while Riku waited downstairs with their manager. They were planning to go out straight for dinner.

"Riku-ssi, can you stay with Mr Baek for a second ? I'll be back shortly, I just need to get a key for my room."

Riku nodded while she had a lollipop in her mouth. She looked back at Ni-Ki's Nintendo she was playing while one of the staff waited with her. The staff kept trying to spark up a conversation with her. It was uncomfortable at first but it became fun after a while.

"Well, this is tiring. Having to travel from time to time."

"It is-"

Riku was about to make a joke but someone pulled her away from the staff. It was Sunghoon. She gulped as she saw the boys glaring at the staff member. Right, Riku forgot.

"What do you think you're doing Mr Baek ?"

Oh boy this was not gonna end well nor be a good situation for Riku to be in.
