“You can take a break now, Nana.” Changkyun said through a microphone after finishing a recording session with Nara. “You need to rest your vocal cord for a while.” Nara nodded before taking off the headphone, resting them on a rack. “Good job. We’re going to record the adlibs after this and we’re done for your last song.” He praised when she got out of the booth.

Nara just gave him a smile and a nod as she went to sit on the couch. It has been a week since she last saw her boys and Mark kept on updating her about everything since she only replied to his chats ever since she left. The trio did try to contact her, but she just couldn’t let herself reply to their chats after what happened. She felt like she was taken back to the time when she had the fight with Yi En before their break-up. So, she sat there on the couch, staring blankly at the walls and sighed.

“Nathalie.. Are you ok?” Changkyun asked after he stopped working on her song and turned around with his chair. Without saying anything, Nara just nodded and fidgeted the rim of her long sleeves before covering her hands completely with it. A habit she picked up from hanging out with WonWoo. “Clearly I see that you’re not ok.. Are you worried about the contract's termination?”

“Nothing. I’m just tired.” She ensured and gave him a small smile. The rapper just stared at her and slowly nodded. “Can we not do any adlibs for this song? I think it doesn’t need any.” She rambled, trying to change the subject and it worked. The two of them listened to the song one final time and agreed that it doesn’t need any adlibs.

Then Changkyun suggested for them to pack up and have lunch together, just as they were packing, Nara’s stomach started to churn, feeling nauseous, dizzy and her heartbeat speed up. Feeling as she was about to throw up, Nara dashed toward the restroom before immediately emptying what was in her stomach in the toilet. Changkyun followed her but stopped outside since it was the woman’s restroom. He tried asking her but thinking that she won’t hear him, he quickly asked for a female staff member, who happened to pass by to help him check on her. The female staff went inside and helped Nara while Changkyun waited outside feeling concerned. After she was done, the staff helped Nara to wash up and walk her out of the restroom. The rapper gently held the now weak caregiver by the shoulders as he thanked the staff before carrying Nara in a bridal style back to the studio.

He laid her down on the couch and covered her with the small blanket he kept in the room. He sat on the floor next to the couch, patted her head gently and took out his phone to report to her brothers about the situation.

“She’s probably anxious and worried about the contract's termination.” Nathan exclaimed through the call and the rapper nodded, even though he couldn’t see him. “Just let her rest for a while and try to keep her mind off the termination or the boys.”

“Will do, 형.” They hung up and Changkyun sighed. “You don’t have to worry about the boys. You need to take care of yourself first. Stop putting everyone else first before you.”

“I just couldn’t help it..” She muttered and slowly got up to sit with him on the floor. Changkyun then pulled her to sit between his legs and wrapped his arms around her. Nara leaned against his chest as she traced the tattoo on his forearm. “This is the longest time I have been away from the boys. 10 days 8 hours and 15 minutes. I’m just worried about them.” The rapper giggled at her precise calculation and planted a kiss on her head.

“Nara, you have to learn to care for yourself first. You can worry about the boys, but you have to take care of yourself too.” He reminded her before she sighed and nodded. “That’s my girl.”
