"THIS IS SO WEIRD."

"Did you see what Jisung posted?"

"I have been waiting for you—"

Mark was then met with a pillow being thrown to his face, laughing as he turned his head towards Jisung. "Oh you guys are so annoying." the boy mumbled, dropping himself on the couch that was in the practice room, sighing deeply.

"You okay?"

"Yeah. I'm okay."

Mark continued to eye the youngest in the group, knowing that he wasn't feeling alright. Mark turned to him, sitting besides Jisung and putting an arm on his shoulder. "Seriously, everything okay?" he asked again, getting silence in return.

"Yeah, everything's alright." Jisung mumbled, Chenle glanced over to the younger, knowing that he wasn't feeling alright. After all, he felt guilty leaving Sunghyun in the dust just out of the blue, but he didn't want her caught up in anything more.

Mark gave Jisung another look before patting his shoulder. "You guys wanna go for lunch?" the oldest suggested, immediately watching their heads turn. "Wow.." Mark mumbled as the two youngest of the group laughed.

"I don't mind." Chenle said, quickly grabbing his bag as Jisung did the same. Mark followed suit, taking hold of his beanie before putting it on. "Do you guys wanna go down to the cafe downstairs or somewhere?" Mark asked, knowing that one of the suggestions was a risky move.

"Uhm if we can..then somewhere? Kinda don't want that cafeteria food." Jisung spoke with a laugh. "True. I'll see if we can go somewhere." Mark said, gesturing for them to stay back as he jogged out the practice room, leaving the two alone.

Jisung sat himself on the floor until he spread himself out, stretching his limbs out as Chenle sat on the couch. "You okay Jisung?" he asked him, hearing a deep sigh escape his lips. "Yeah I am. Don't worry." Jisung mumbled, closing his eyes for a few seconds.

Chenle kept his eyes on Jisung for a few more seconds until he glanced down at his phone. A notification reading with her name. He knew she shouldn't be texting her, but he too couldn't help but feel guilty.

"We can go!" Mark ran back after a short minute, watching as the two boys pushed themselves up and headed towards the older's way. "Geez you guys must be hungry." Mark joked, laughing as Chenle and Jisung shared a glare towards the male.

"We're going in our managers car soooo behave!"

"We should be saying that to you!"

"Please.."

Sunghyun sat in the corner of the small restaurant with her headphones on.

She was there studying over her notes with no plan to stop. The twenty year old was forcing herself to study because she had let her grades drop after lacking off for some time. The cup of coffee she had bought once she came in had gone cold.

Sunghyun wanted more than nothing to graduate ever since her brother couldn't. She knew university was everything to him, but singing was just a tad bit more so she promised herself to graduate, to do her best so that he could enjoy his time as a singer.

Though Taeil could easily see how much she was struggling, the weekend nights where her light was still on and you could see in the dark hallway in the middle of the night. Those days where she would come in straight from school to home and immediately go up to her room to do homework.

She was fighting to keep her grades up, to pass her upcoming quizzes. She wished winter break could come faster, though she would have to wait a few more months since she was only at the mid-start of September.

As she was reading over her annotated notes, her heavy eyes started to give up on her. She couldn't remember the last time she had a decent sleep, one where she felt well rested and didn't feel as if she had only closed her eyes for a mere five seconds.

Sunghyun quickly blinked her eyes in attempt to keep herself awake. Her hand reached towards her cup of coffee, now realizing how much time she had spent studying. Either way, she took a sip of the drink she paid for, not wanting to waste her money into getting another one.

She pulled her headphones down, letting them hang around her neck as she stood up, grabbing her wallet since she wanted to get something to eat. It was then when the door bell rung, signifying that someone had came in. There were a few voices being heard, no more than three right behind her.

As she went up to order, he caught sight of her side profile, recognizing her in an instant after not seeing her for so long. Sunghyun stepped to the side, waiting for her order as she glanced up from her receipt and met his eyes.

He could tell she didn't recognize him by the way she looked away after a few seconds. She doesn't have her glasses on. Nor did she bother putting on in any contacts. Sunghyun sighed, feeling slightly lightheaded as her name was called for her order.

The three stepped to the side, watching as she reached for her sandwich. "Is that.." Mark mumbled to himself, also recognizing the girl as Jisung hummed. "Let's just sit over here." the younger muttered, tugging on Mark's shirt, gaining his attention as Jisung pointed towards the other side of the restaurant.

Chenle reached for their orders, following after them as they sat down. Their eyes trailing over to the girl who let out a few yawns almost every minute. It was clear she was tired. Just by the way she sat or how red her eyes were. She was tired.

Sunghyun couldn't focus, the throbbing sensation on her head caused her to loose sight of what she was reading. She took a few bites of her food, hoping it would make a difference, only for it to stay the same.

"This is so weird.." she said to herself. Sunghyun gave up, deciding to quit for the day and go back home. She figured if she just took a small nap then maybe after she'll be okay. While packing up her belongings, the three boys kept glancing over to her, all missing their time talking to her.

"It's nice to see her again." Mark said, earning head nods from the two in front of him. "She looks stressed out." Chenle started to say. "I wonder if uni is really getting to her.." he mumbled, hoping she wasn't stressing herself out so much.

Jisung continued to stay quiet, eating his food since he didn't know what to say. Sunghyun looked up, watching as the three turned their heads towards the other way.

"It'd be nice to talk again.."
