Chapter 7

After the boys had finished their performance and they officially got off of work, they all headed back to their dorm. Yeonjun opened the front door, kicking off his shoes and walked in, letting out a loud sigh of happiness from finally being home. The rest of the members followed him inside. Soobin was the last to come in, cradling Amara in his arms. He pulled off his shoes and used his foot to push the front door shut. He carried her into the living room, gently sitting her on the couch. She looked up at him, giving him an appreciative smile.

"Thank you. I'm sorry you had to carry me, though. I hope I wasn't--" he stopped her from finishing that sentence, by kissing her lips quickly.

"You know we don't like it when you talk like that," he tells her.

She gives him another smile and nods. Soobin hugged her tightly, running a hand through her hair. It was very relaxing and soothing to her. Their moment was interrupted, when the sound of arguing could be heard in the kitchen.

"Yah! Stop fighting!" Soobin yelled into the kitchen.

He was ignored as the arguing continued. He groaned and rolled his eyes.

"I'll be back, just rest," he tells her, placing a kiss on her forehead.

She watched him go into the kitchen, yelling at the others in Korean. She giggled softly, unable to hold it in. They were all so silly. Amara looked over when she heard somebody coming out from one of the rooms. Kai ran and jumped on the couch beside her. She let out a surprised squeak as his arms wrapped around her, holding her tightly against him. She giggled again at his actions. She wrapped her own arms around him, returning his hug.

After a second, he lifted his head and looked down at her, capturing her gaze.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, using one of his hands to caress her face.

She closed her eyes and leaned into his warm touch. "I'm feeling better, now. I think it was just simple nausea," she tells him.

Kai smiled down at her, cupping her face in both of his hands. He leaned down to her level, about to give her a kiss, when the voice of Taehyun announced that they were ordering dinner and to come tell him what they wanted. Amara giggled softly at the interruption, while Kai sighed and gave a forced smile.

"Alright, let's go order dinner," Kai chuckled softly, his smile becoming genuine. He climbed off the couch and helped her to stand as well.

A couple of hours later, after everyone had eaten, they all settled down to watch a Disney movie. Taehyun and Beomgyu were sitting on the floor, in front of the couch. Soobin, Yeonjun, Kai and Amara were sitting on the couch together. Soobin was stretched out, sitting in a lazy fashion. Yeonjun was leaning back against the couch, with his arms behind his head. Kai was sitting with his long legs stretched out in front of him, with Beomgyu sitting between them.

Amara had her head resting on Soobin's shoulder, with her legs tucked under her. The movie they'd chosen was Snow White, which was Amara's favorite Disney movie. They'd only just finished eating less than 30 minutes ago, when the sickness came back. This time, it went right to her head and it hit worse than earlier.

Amara jumped off the couch, almost tripping over the table leg, but catching herself. The boys looked up quickly, just as she ran down the hallway. They heard the bathroom door slam shut. She fell to her knees, and got sick for the second time today. She held her hair out of the way as everything she ate came back up. She coughed as the nausea rushed through her head.

When she finished getting sick, she groaned softly. She flushed the toilet and leaned away, falling weakly against the bathtub. She breathed heavily, feeling weak again. That nausea was worse than earlier. She stared at the bathroom floor, her chest and head hurting from all the heaving. After a minute or two, tears filled her eyes. She tried not to lose it, but she couldn't hold it in. She released a soft sob, covering her face with her hands. She cried into them, her tears rolling down her cheeks.

The bathroom door opened, making her look up. Through her blurred vision, she saw Kai standing in the doorway. He saw her state, her face stained with tears. Seeing her like that, broke his heart. He came into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. He sat down on the floor with her, putting his hands on hers, taking them away from her face.

"What's the matter? Why are you getting sick?" he asked her softly.

She shook her head, sniffling. "I don't know..." she whispered, more tears filling her eyes.

He sat down next to her and wrapped his arms around her, holding her against him. She laid her head against his chest.

"Maybe you should go see a doctor," Kai said, putting one of his hands in her hair.

"Okay.." she mumbled, not fighting him on this.

She agreed, she really should go see somebody. It might be something serious.

"One of us will go with you, okay?" he said, kissing her head. She nodded again.

Right now, was one of the many moments that Amara was so grateful to have these boys with her. They were the best support system she's ever had.
