Eunkyung was left asleep in her room, it proved to be very peaceful until it got too hot. The heat eventually made the tired girl rollover. She began to toss and turn; this went on for the next 15 minutes until Eunkyung let out a huff of defeat. She threw her legs over the side of the bed, feeling extremely nauseous. She couldn't tell if it was from the lack of water intake or the fact she cried till she dropped. Then it dawned on her. How did she get to bed? She fell asleep on the couch. She shrugged it off thinking maybe she had gotten up mid-way through her sleep and taken herself there.
She mustered up all strength possible in order to push herself up and out of bed, she stabilized herself by holding onto the wall next to her, her free hand out of nowhere in particular. She stayed like this for a few more seconds before sluggishly walking over to her door. She rubbed her eyes waddling out into the hallway, the overwhelmingly loud sound of 7 men yelling at each other and the screen in front of them. Eunkyung stopped in her tracks, a slight wave of panic washing over her. Her thoughts soon subsided when one of the members stood up and turned to walk toward the kitchen, ultimately stopping in their path when they caught sight of the half-asleep girl.
"Uhhh Jaem, she's awake." Jeno turned to face Jaemin, leaning over slightly so his words didn't catch the member's attention. Jaemin looked over at Jeno slightly shocked at his words, but he stood up nonetheless. "I'm gonna go to the bathroom guys I'll be back in a minute." Most of the members just nodded at his words, some giving a small okay. Jaemin had walked around to Jeno and thanked him quietly for telling him she was awake, informing him that he's gonna go talk to her for a little. Jeno nodded at Jaemin and pushed him with a slight nudge over to Eunkyung's direction.
Jaemin started to get closer and closer to Eunkyung, eventually ending up in front of her. He didn't say anything, he opted on enveloping her in a supportive hug. Eunkyung not knowing how to handle the random act of affection started to cry again, this stressed Jaemin a little bit making him step back and scan her appearance. This time Jaemin put his hand on her back in a supportive manner and leads her back to her room. Once they're inside he ushers her over to her bed and sits her down, him crouching in front of her. "What's going on Eun? Is there any way I can help?" Eunkyung looked at him, her eyes were glassy and bloodshot, the tip of her nose was red, and her cheeks were blotchy.
Jaemin wasn't one to force people into conversations, if they didn't want to talk about it they simply didn't, so he gave her some time. He stayed crouched in front of her occasionally wiping her tears. After a few minutes of simply just comforting her, she had spoken up. "I'm fine Jaem, I just really miss Australia, this is a lot to get used to. I'm sorry for scaring you..." it was evident that Eunkyung felt guilty for making him worry so much. This made Jaemin's shoulders slump. "It's okay Eun, I know this is hard and I dare say it will be for a while, but you have me and the members, they are all waiting to meet you whenever you're ready, we'll be your support system, okay?" Eunkyung looked at Jaemin and chuckled, slightly nodding her head. She had gone to open her mouth to say something but was interrupted by a light knocking at her door.
