"Thank you!"

Haneul, Jenn and Misuk started bowing to everyone in attendance of their last practice before the first end of the year awards of the season.

When Misuk raises her head back, everything starts spinning and she cursed her low iron on the way out. Sweat was dripping off her back and she couldn't wait to get to shower and fall asleep like a baby.

Nova had a crazy schedule lately and the consequences were showing, especially on Misuk. She was the weak link in the group when it came down to stamina.

The girls were in Paris two days ago and now they were in Japan to fly off back to Korea right after the awards end. They didn't know if this agenda was normal, it doesn't feel like it is.

As the leader she is, Haneul noticed Misuk's heavy breathing and gets closer to her, "Are you okay?"

Misuk slightly nodded as an answer and left. She needed to make sure everything was inside her bag before the manager takes their things.

The group goes straight into the van and while the girls were talking about what to get for dinner, Misuk stared outside the window, completely lost in the moment. She was so light headed, didn't understand why.

"Mimi, you look so pale."

Hana's first instinct is moving closer and touch her forehead, trying to see if she had a fever. The american had no idea what was going anymore.

Did she drank enough water? Was it an allergic reaction to something? Was she okay?

Jenn got nervous and stood up a bit to catch a glimpse of the situation. "Unnie, are you dehydrated again?"

Misuk noticed Jenn trying to give her a water bottle but she couldn't even raise her arm. "Maybe?"

"Look at her lips, she's so dehydrated. Pinch her skin, do something!"

Everyone started talking over the other, figuring out what to do, leaving Misuk more confused than before. She was extremely tired and the only thing keeping her awake was the maknae slightly hitting her arm every time she closed her eyes for too long.

The driver mentioned the fact there's a hospital right in front of the hotel and Hana asked him to drive them there, in hopes the situation wasn't as bad as it seemed.

As always, Misuk couldn't understand Hana at all. She couldn't tell if she was worried about her well being or the fact they had a show tomorrow and it was not a good time to be sick.

Misuk gets carried into the emergency room by the members and was quickly put into a chair. Hana pulled out her japanese fluency and moved things around, filling papers and asking for doctors to check her as soon as possible. Or at least that's what Misuk understood.

Two nurses help Misuk sit down on a stretcher and the doctor, who spoke very good Korean, asked the typical questions, concluding that she was indeed dehydrated.

She needed IV fluids as soon as possible and since this wasn't the first time this happened, they already have their routine. Hana gets close to Misuk so she could hold her hand when she feels the pinch in her forearm.

"You are gonna make me have a heart attack one of these days."

Misuk smiled. Maybe she did cared about her. "Sorry for not drinking enough water. I guess I was too concentrated on practicing. Are the girls outside?"

"No, they went to change before coming back here."

Mimi shook her head, "Tell them it's nothing. This is going to take a while, you can go too if you want to."

Hana scoffed, "Sure, like I would leave."

Misuk knew she needed to start taking care of herself. Her parents would be so disappointed on her and she hated worrying their fans over nothing, even if they never find out about this.

The annoying muttering of people wakes her up and she moves the curtain a bit to find out what was going on, only seeing Hana talking to someone.

"It's not that serious, she's okay. You need to go back to the hotel before someone sees you."

oh?

"Sunghoon?" Misuk said out loud. "Come here."

Hana shakes her head and pats the guy's shoulder before leaving, going God knows where. Sunghoon runs to where the girl was laying and sits on the empty chair next to the stretcher.

He was wearing a cap and a face mask that covered his identity completely. Sunghoon holds Misuk's hand and his gaze changed when he felt her cold touch. "Can you please take care of yourself?

"It's not that serious."

"Shut up" he stops her. "I think I was close to have a cardiac arrest when Haneul told me you were here."

The sleepiness was hitting the girl again, making her smile with her eyes closed. Sunghoon completely melted. "It's okay, I'm fine."

Sunghoon hissed. "Are you gonna be okay for tomorrow?"

She gives him the "you know the answer to that" look and he just giggled. The singer squeezed her hand twice before leaving a soft kiss on her knuckles.

Misuk starts to wonder why couldn't he see it. He can't be doing all of this and expect her to believe everything is platonic? That's how she knows he doesn't her in the same way.

In her eyes, he only saw her as a friend, a special friend. He had some endearment for her, yeah, they grew up together, but it wasn't the same way she felt about him. She loved everything about him.

How long could a person deal with this before being fully heartbroken?
