TW: Mentions of death/dying
Ni-ki pov
"Ya, Hyung you've gotten chubbier." I said to Sunoo while Jake was answering some comments from English fans that I didn't quite understand. I looked over at him with a slight smile adorning my face. Recently, Sunoo has been trying to gain a bit more weight so he can start to build more muscle. I personally can't picture Sunoo with big muscles, he will always be my hyung that looks and acts like my dongsaeng, but if that's what he wants I will always support him. I giggled as I thought about Sunoo's cute, lovable face on top of a buff body.
We were doing a VLIVE with all of us. After releasing our debut album, Border: Day One, we started to participate in more and more VLIVES so we can connect with Engenes more. I think that we have all been enjoying it, especially Sunoo Hyung. He loves talking to our fans and seeing what they have to say to us.
"Thank you for noticing." Sunoo snickered and replied with a pout, being the dramatic boy we all know and love. I gave him a sly smile and turned my attention back to Jake who was answering another question.
"Ok, this next comment was written by CJ from Australia, oooh another fellow Aussie. Yay!!" He exclaimed excitedly. "She was asking about..."

Shoving my shirt over my head, I quickly walked down the hall to a very familiar room. I was trying to not disturb him if he was already sleeping, so I quietly pushed down the handle and peered into the dark room. I looked over at Sunoo's bed and saw a little, tired looking face peeking through the sheets that was being illuminated by his phone's screen. He looked over in my direction and patted the spot next to him, a sign that he wants me to lay there. This happens a lot. Many times we start the night in different beds, but end up in the same one in the morning. Tonight though, I felt like I needed some time with my favorite hyung right away. I fully pushed the door open and stepped inside the bedroom. I reached Sunoo's bed and plopped on top. He lowly chucked at my maknae-like instincts. I slipped under the covers so only my head was showing, and turned to my side so we could cuddle. He wrapped his arms around my torso and smushed his face into my neck. His warm breath felt like a feather being tickled against my neck.
"Look who's acting like the maknae now." I whispered.
"Shut up." He playfully retorted. Sunoo turned his head away from me in mock anger.
"C'mon everyone already knows you're the fake maknae, you don't need to be ashamed."
"Yeah, I guess." He turned back and looked at me with a sassy smile. "Get some sleep Riki." He endearingly said.
Geez, this boy and his mood changes. You gotta love him though. "Night Hyung. I love you." I closed my eyes, and suddenly felt sleep try to overcome me.
"I love you too."

"Okay everyone take 10." Jungwon announced after we just finished an intense run through of Given-Taken. We were focusing on that song because our next couple of performances were going to be of it and we want to be fully prepared for it.
I went over to where I had placed my things, exhaustedly sat down, and picked up my water bottle. I unscrewed the cap and started chugging it, coughing in the process. Hitting my chest with my hand to try to remove the discomfort did little to nothing.
"You okay there, Buddy?" Heeseung Hyung came over with a worried expression and interchangeably patted and rubbed my back.
"I'm *cough* fine *cough*." I breathed in and let out one last harsh cough. "Okay. I'm fine now." I said looking up at my hyung who was still rubbing my back.
