chapter 20. hot chocolate

The two PRESTONS made their way downstairs. Ella clinging onto one of Ian's soft arm. She's dressed in baggy clothes with puffy eyes pale skin. Ian looked a bit tired but his smile covered it well.

Seven heads snapped towards them. Jin is quick to run towards Ella and hugged her without saying anything. It's quite past evening. The youngers might've told the olders what happened in the morning. Their warm smiles didn't make us uncomfortable. We slowly sat beside them. I'm a bit weak cuz I threw up three times in the morning and I have taken capsules and had only fluids.

The group engaged in random conversations again not trying to make us feel awkward. Soon we got into the mood little giggles I let out finding how bickering yoonmin are. Soon the table was set for dinner. We'll gathered at the dining table.

They gave me a really light food so that my stomach can put up which I'm so much thankful. Jin interrupted my silent world.

"Ella... Iann" he called out.

We both shift our gaze towards him "yeah... Jinnie.." I responded. He took a deep breath putting his chops down.

"Can I ask you something!" Jin asked hesitantly.

We both had a train of thoughts about what about? who? are they going to pressure us to open up? , are they gonna ask about me and my family? are they gonna tell us we're being too noisy?

"Relax sweeties we aren't gonna ask anything personal" Joon assured. Which eased us a bit. Jin again took a deep breath

"is there anything you're allergic to... That we mistakenly put in the food.. If it is, I'm so sorry I didn't know about that... I should've asked you about allergies in the first place .... So today's incident wouldn't have happened.." Jin said looking down like he's guilty.

Our eyes widened about how wrong he is and he did nothing wrong. We both gasped for a moment

"jinniee.... Noo you did nothing wrong... It's not any allergic reaction... It's... It's... Oh jinniee... It's not the food fault..." I said genuinely. I was feeling so sorry for he's blaming for himself.

"It's not the food?" Jin frowned but a bit relaxed but worry took right after.

"What would be the cause?" He went into deep thoughts just like a mother cares for her child.

The table is more silent with full of questions curiosity and worry. We really felt bad for the seven. It's because us keeping secrets. Ian and I glanced at eachother. As we're communicating with our eyes. I was like should we tell them. He's like should we?. We can atleast tell them so they won't worry more for not knowing the reason.

Ian cleared his throat grabbing everyone's attention.

"We... " Ian started. Everyone eyes are fixed on us.

"I mean.. yeah.. we will go through... Umm... Episodes ... Or ... Triggering memories... Something like that... Me and Ella has different reactions to them... Like ..." Ian stared at everybody

"like it happened in the morning... " The room was pin drop silent they're still listening patiently not letting any weird emotions on display.

"Ella... She's... Umm ..." Ian glanced at me asking for the last time as he can continue or not. I nodded lightly giving a green signal.

"Ella.. she's suffering from Meniere's disease.." jin and hobi eyes widened.

As they heard it right. The others looked confused as they aren't quite familiar with the word. "What is---" jimin was cut off by yoongi

"it's an INNER EAR disorder where the person experiences dizziness, nausea, headaches and loss of balance in extreme cases loss of hearing too. It occurs when that person suddenly gets triggered, stressed or allergies.." Jhope explained.
