-Concerns & Cuddles-

While everyone else is asleep, Geonu, Heeseung and I are practicing the song. "You, You. Will you stay by my side?" Heeseung sang. "Will you promise me ?" It was my turn. "Will you stop time? If this moment passes." Now Geonu's. We finished the last chorus, and Geonu throw himself on the floor. "Okay, I know it has to be perfect, but we have a lot of time, and I'm dying to sleep right now. Can I go?" He asked. "Yes, I'll stay. If you want to go too, you can Hayley." Heeseung said. "Don't worry, I'm not tired, I actually slept the whole afternoon." I didn't, but I was not leaving him alone with all the initiative he had for practice.

We've repeated the song about 6 times. It seemed like a great time to ask him this.
-Hee...
-Yes?
-Do you think of Dara, Iseul and me as weak?
-What?
-Do you think our talent is below yours because, we are girls?
-Hayley, what makes you think that?
-The first week, you never corrected any of us like you did with the guys.
-Well, I just did it because, I have a bigger respect for you all than I have for the guys.
-Why tho?
-Because, you are really strong, you have gone through a lot. I don't want to be the cause of another one of your problems. Screaming to you ain't the way.
-And the other girls?
-Well, they didn't really make any big mistakes.
-Hey! Are you implying I made big mistakes? 

June 15, 2017, Los Angeles, California.

"He won't take you." A woman told the children. "What?" The youngest boy asked. "He doesn't want to see us? We are still his children." The older girl told the woman. "I guess I'll take you back to your mom's house." The woman said. "But, what about grandma, she won't take us?" She asked. "He didn't let her speak." The woman said. "Take your suitcases, there isn't any point on boarding that plane." The woman told the kids, and with that they exited the airport.

"Were you thinking about him again?" Heeseung asked the girl, who seemed to be in a daze. One tear came out from the corner of her eye. "Yes." She said, but the word choked in her mouth, and it just sounded like a whisper. "Do you want to talk about it?" Heeseung asked another question. She shook her head no. "Come here." He said, and engulfed her in a hug, which she accepted.

I woke up. This time Dara, Jay, and I are sharing a room. I was about to stand up, when I felt something drop inside me. I immediately sat down again, and lifted the cover, only to see a red stain in the sheet. "Damn it." I cursed under my breath. Jay and Dara were still sleeping. I needed help, or I would end up covering the whole floor in blood.

A new fact to learn about me:
I have bad periods.
Bad as in, you'd probably think I'm dying because, of the amount of blood.
I can move, and everything. But I probably release more blood than, the average woman.

"Dara." I whispered shouted, thinking she wouldn't hear but trying anyways. "Yes?" She asked me. "Hey, I need help." I continued on whispering. Just like a robot she changed her sleepy expression into a lively one, and sat on her bed. She shook her head and her hair fell perfectly on her sides. I had never woken up before her, so in two weeks of being roommates I hadn't seen this. She put on her sleepers and walked to my bed.

"What's up?" She asked, and I lifted the covers. "Oh! Let me help you, can we walk, or are we exploding if we do?" She asked once again. "I would use the second one as an answer." I replied. "Oh God. Ehm... press your legs really tight?" She said. "Okay I'll try. If it doesn't work just clean the path okay?" She just nodded and I did my job. I made it to the bathroom with no accidents. "Get cleaned, I'll go grab the pads." She said. 

Before the show started, the staff asked me, and I'm guessing the other girls, to bring an emergency kit, with our preferred brands, and products for our personal hygiene. They would take care of it, until we needed it. If we ran out they'll buy the same brand of the product we asked for. 

"Hayley?" Jay asked from the other side of the door. "Yes?" It was my turn to ask. "Are you okay?" "Yes Jay, I am. Dara already went for it."  I replied. "Oh, okay, I'll leave, so I don't make it awkward." He said "Okay, take care." "You too. Oh hi Dara, go on." "Here you go." She said and passed me the box.

"You know, it's crazy we got them at the same time." She said as I got out. "Actually, I read once that, when you make a group of friends that are girls, they start to get them at the same time." I said. "Really, where you read it, I mean it would be weird for it to be true, it would mean to make one or more of the girls go irregular." Dara said. "Well I don't know, the internet said, and if the internet said it, it must be true." I said. "Right... remember me to never make an investigation with you." She said and we laughed.

"Are you guy okay, did you eat well?" Seon came worried to Dara, and I as soon as we entered the kitchen. "Jay, you told them?" I asked. "Tell us what?" Jungwon asked. "He's worrying like this with everyone who is a representative, so we can be okay for the performance." "Ahhh, well yeah, I'm good Seon. And you ? Have you been eating your vegetables?" I started asking. "Vegetables?" He said and just left afterwards. "Okay, weird." Dara said, and we just laughed.

We were on the individual practice room, all of the vocal representatives, including our understudies. We finished another try to the song, when Seon just hugged Geonu. "What? So suddenly." Geonu said flustered. "Today, everyone gets a free hug." He said, and so he did he went hugging everyone. "No, if you hug me, everything inside me will go out." I said. "Aw, Hayley so cute." Seon said. "I don't think that's what she meant." Heeseung said. "You are on your period, right?" He asked whispering. "Yep." I answered shortly. "Yeah, just confirming." He whispered again.

Here comes cuddle hour! The hour were I cuddle whoever I can find, in order to prevent something I like to call 'crying attacks'. I entered my room, looking for Dara, but instead I found... "Jungwon?" Jungwon chilling in my bed like it's his. "Yeah?" "What you doing here?" I asked. "Just chilling." He replied. "I already noticed, the thing is, why?" I asked again. "We haven't shared a room since test number 1, so came here so we could spend quality time together." He said. "Well you seem to be the only available person right now, I don't see why not." I said. "Available? For wh-" 

He was asking, but I cut him mid sentence, when I sat beside him and hugged him. "I need to do this right now, and you are here, so." I said. "What is this?" "Cuddle hour." "Still not getting it." "Well I cuddle someone, so I feel better." I explained. He finally hugged back. "Why didn't we do this before though?" He asked me. "Well now I'm actually feeling down, so I need my cuddle hour." "What? When? How? But most importantly Who?" He said. "Dumbass, stop asking questions is just my period." I said annoyed by many questions. "Oh. Sorry, I didn't knew." He said. "Don't worry, it's okay. Just let me hug you, will you?" I said. "Always." Jungwon replied.
