The first thing you were met with when you woke up was a pounding headache. It felt as though someone was consistently hitting you with a sledgehammer, draining your body of any and all motivation to get up and out of bed. On top of that, your chest felt tight, which had you a little worried. It's a pain you've never experienced before.

But you're an idol; you have responsibilities. You don't feel like you have time to lie around and wait for the pain to pass over, so you forced yourself to get out of bed, trying hard to push through the pain. You had to sit down for another brief moment, due to a wave of dizziness, but you eventually stood back up. Once you were on your feet, you walked over to your closet and began to get dressed for dance practice, which is the first thing on today's schedule.

You weren't too excited for practice today, because you'd be dancing through the pain-this will be especially hard due to the fact that the dances you and the girls are currently practicing are for an upcoming awards show, and this year's end-of-year choreography is harder and more complex than it's ever been. It requires great precision and focus to execute the moves properly, which is something you're usually great at, but you're not so sure how that will play out today with your new symptoms of pain.

Regardless, you shook your head and cleared your thoughts, before leaving your room and making your way to the dorm kitchen, where the rest of the girls were, minus Hyunseo.

"Good morning, Unnies!" You chirped as you rubbed your chest. The tightness lingered painfully, not letting up for even a moment. Luckily, it didn't leave you breathless. Yet.

The girls said good morning back to you. None of them noticed your paler skin and exhausted expression. Yujin smiled at you. "Gom-ah. Can you go and check on Hyunnie and see if she's up? I swear, that maknae is always sleeping in on Friday's. Aish," the leader playfully hissed. The girls, including you, giggled, and Gaeul nudged her shoulder with a bright smile.

You smiled at all of them and nodded your head. "Yes, Unnie. I'll be right back," you told Yujin before turning on your heel and walking back down the hallway and towards Hyunseo and Wonyoung's shared room. Your fists weakly rapped on the hardwood door. It was then that you noticed how weak your muscles were feeling-and how heavy, now that you think of it. You felt odd, to be honest.

Again, you brushed your thoughts off when you heard a quiet come in from the other side. You opened the door and entered the room, smiling fondly when you spotted Hyunseo half-asleep and lying in an odd position. Her limbs were sprawled out in different directions, and her silky, recently-cut short hair was no different as it spilled across her pillow messily. You're only a year older than her, but you find yourself always taking care of her as if she was your own child, much like Yujin and Gaeul do for all of you.

You soundlessly walked further into the room and then sat down beside her on her bed. You reached out and tucked some strands of her hair behind her ear, before caressing the side of her head. "Hyunnie. Wake up, maknae. We have dance practice in forty-five minutes," you whispered to her.

Hyunseo whined in her half-asleep state and reached out for you. "Can you cuddle with me for five minutes, Yoonah-unnie?" She asked quietly, voice muffled after she had rested her head on your thigh and smushed her cheek against it.

She looked so cute, so you couldn't find it in you to deny her request. You were about to say yes, when you were hit by a more intense wave of chest pain, causing you to whimper instead. Your hand flew up to rub over your chest as if that would soothe the pain.
