Art class is now over. I'm glad that we didn't have any group projects. I get annoyed just thinking of doing a group project with.. him.

I had gotten a text from Enhypen's main manager saying he talked to the principal about if I had a class with one of the members I would have to be the partner for privacy reasons, and if I wasn't in a class with them example the 02z who are a grade above me, they will be grouped together.

"What a headache," I mumble as I rub my temples. "Well, it is what it is," I say. trying my best to stay cheerful. I need to show Niki that I can be a good manager and, that I'm not just some feral person Sunghoon picked up off the street.

Hearing footsteps rushing towards me I turn around. I see Sunghoon and think Ahh, I just want to sleep and forget about this day, and I still have to meet up with Sunoo and Niki. Quickly deciding I don't want to talk to anyone I cross my arms across my stomach and make a face.

Sunghoon walks up to me "Are you okay?" he asks. I nod and wink hoping he will pick up on what I am trying to accomplish.

"Ahh, let me lead you to the nurse," he says faking worry. Thankfully we have spent enough time together to know what the other person is getting at.

On the way to the nurse's office, we walked down this long hallway our footsteps echoing down the hall. Just as we were about to turn to our right I felt a strong pressure and I was on the ground and I had to gasp a bit for air. I look behind me to take a look at the person who bumped into me or people I should say as I hear their giggling. They pretend they never collided with me.

"Are you alright?" Sunghoon says worriedly as he quickly reaches down to help me up.

"I'm okay, I think?'' I say as I do I watch as one of the girls giggling stops to turn around and snicker. They whisper in each other's ears as they move out of sight. "Ugh, I hate this," I think hollowly to myself.

"Well we were on the way to the nurse's office anyways,'' Sunghoon says trying to make light of the situation.

"Yeah, now I don't even need an excuse anymore," I say with a chuckle. Sunghoon has always been very good at cheering me up. Now both of us in a better mood we head off once again. 

Once we are at the nurse he gets me checked in, and I am moved to a bed. I take a moment to look around me and take in my surroundings. The room was bright with the natural sunlight coming in through the window. there were an even number of beds on each side of the room with curtains that went around all of them. The smell of rubbing alcohol never leaves the room neither the calming atmosphere.

"Here," Sunghoon says as he hands me a cup of water. Taking the water I take a sip the cold water washed down my throat. "So, why did you want to come here in the first place," Sunghoon says referring to my 'stomachache'  as he sits at the edge of the bed.

I feel the heat of anger flash through me. "What do you mean?" I say surprised that he would have no idea."I can't even walk down the hallway in peace, and now I have to play the cheery manager all the time," I say trying my best to not be loud. I looked up at him his face a bit strained.

I see the hurt flash across his face as he lets out a deep breath. "what do you think I had to go through this whole time," he lets out abruptly his brows furrowing. "What all of us had to go through."

I now feel bad. I've only been a 'manager' not even for a day and I'm already complaining. Not just complaining but complaining to Sunghoon who has gone through many hardships being an idol. I inhale as I look up to meet his eyes. "I'm sorry Sunghoon I didn't mean it that way. I just- it's just overwhelming I wasn't expecting this," I say as I struggle to find the right words.

"I am sorry too," Sunghoon says slowly as he swallows "I did get you into this mess."

"Hi there!" the nurse says cheerfully as she walks up to the bed.

"Hi," I say quietly. I hear sunghoon clear his throat. She really caught us at an awkward time, huh I think to myself. Sunghoon and I exchange a knowing look.

"My name is, Dr. Luciana Thomas can you tell me what's bothering you?" Dr. Luciana says sweetly.

"I was walking down the hall when someone bumped into me and I hurt my shoulder," I say while I bring my uninjured arm across my shoulder. Wincing when it made contact. There is definitely going to be a bruise I thought to myself.

"Let me take a look," Dr. Luciana says calmly. She takes a couple of minutes to examine my arm and shoulder. "Okay, besides some bruising there are no other abnormalities so, some rest and some ice for the pain." I let a deep breath out happy to hear rest so I can sleep, and think about what's going on.

"Thank you so much, Dr. Luciana," I say with a warm smile. "If it's alright with you may I take a moment to rest here before going back to class?''

"Yes of course stay as long as you like and, I'll get you some ice right away," Dr. Luciana says as she walks away. Success I think to myself.

"I have to get back to class," Sunghoon says. "I'm assuming you are going to stay here the rest of the day?" He questions.

"Yeah, school is almost over anyway," I respond.

"I'll text you when I'm home," Sunghoon says as he walks out the door. I wave as I watch him leave.

"Here's your ice and, rest up well," Dr. Luciana says.

"Thank you," I say warmly as I adjust the ice to my shoulder and lay down. Closing my eyes I think about how my life will have to change as I become a manager for my best friend and his friends and, to everyone else Enhypen.
