Taufan wipes his mouth after he throw up in the toilet bowl, face scowled as he felt so tired. It has been almost a week he's in this condition and the nauseousness is getting worse. He didn't tell the others about this since he didn't want to make them worried more about him. He's already been a lot of burdensome to them.

He's making sure that he didn't made a loud noise of throwing up since he didn't want to attract their attentions. He lean his back on the door of the cubicle and slides down, his body is feeling so weak that he has no energy to even stand up. He inhale his breath only to felt a sharp pain inside his chest.

"Ugh..." He hold his chest while clenching his jaw, bearing the pain.

He relaxed his body, trying to calm himslef as he stare at no where with lifeless eyes. Not long after that, he can feel some liquid drop from his nose. He wipe his nose with his forefinger only to see blood covered on it.

Taufan groaned. His nose keeps bleeding everyday. He forced himself to push his body up and went out of the cubicle, making sure there's no one in the restroom so nobody will saw him with nosebleed.

He walks to the sink and stare himself at the mirror. He looks horrible and devastated, almost looking like a walking dead body. This is not him. He don't recognize the reflection in the mirror, this is truly not him. He's the epitome of happy and cheerful but this? He looks colorless. Not even a slight hint of happiness on him.

Taufan stare at his reflection in the mirror longer. His eyes getting blurry the more he stare at it. He squinted his eyes, trying to take a clear vision of it. His vision starts shaking and slowly, an image of beliung appear in the mirror. He's giving a wide grin, eyes glowed in white.

Taufan gasp and took some steps back as he rub his eyes and look at the mirror again but the image of beliung already gone. His eyes roamed around the restroom, trying to make sure that it's just his imagination. Then his eyes fell back to his own reflection on the mirror.

No sign of beliung. Just him making eye contact with himself with miserable look. He shut his eyes tightly and take a deep breath before he let it out. He open his eyes as he shakes his head and starts to wash off the nosebleed.

"Taufan! There you are!" Taufan heard his name got mentioned as soon as he walks out from the restroom and turn his head to the voice that called him.

Quickly, a wide smile spread across his face. Trying to hide the fact that he's feeling not fine. "Yeah, Duri? You searching for me?"

Duri nod his head happily and drag Taufan away by pulling his arm to somewhere. Taufan tilted his head, confused. "Where are we going?"

"Let's hang out with the others! We're having a bonding time together. They're waiting for you!"

Taufan stared at Duri's back that is walking at the front while leading him with grabbing his arm, he can see a big smile on his face. Taufan let out a soft sigh as he relaxed his tense body and just let himself getting drag away by the nature element.

They finally arrive at the hallroom. Duri tap the doorlock as it slides open, making a hiss sound that grabs everyone in the room's attention. "Oh, look who's decided to join us. Finally!" Blaze chirped.

Taufan smiled as he scratch his cheeks. "Why are we suddenly doing this?"

"Why can't?" Gempa asked back. "We've only been together for a mission. It's been a long time we didn't hang out with each other just for fun." He smiles fondly.

"And lately you keep staying in your room. That's supposed to be Ais' job." Solar nonchalantly said while pointing his thumb at Ais as the ice elemental glare at the back of his head.
