**************************************
It was a rare day off for the members of Zerobaseone, and the group was buzzing with excitement as they planned their activities. Each member had different ideas about how to spend the day, making the most of the well-deserved break.

Hanbin and Hao decided to go shopping together. Hanbin had been particularly excited about it, planning to explore some of the latest fashion trends and pick up a few things they could wear in upcoming photoshoots. Taerae and Matthew, on the other hand, chose to head to the park, eager to enjoy the fresh air and relax in nature. Jiwoong and Ricky were gym enthusiasts, so they planned to hit the gym and get in a good workout. Meanwhile, the maknae line-Gyuvin, Gunwook, and Yujin-decided to stay in the dorm. They wanted to relax, play video games, and perhaps order some takeout later in the day.

As morning dawned, Hao woke up feeling off. A dull, throbbing headache pulsed in his temples, but he brushed it off, not wanting to dampen the day's plans. He knew how much Hanbin had been looking forward to their shopping trip, and he didn't want to spoil it.

Hao sat up in bed, rubbing his temples as he tried to shake off the headache.

*"You okay, hyung?"* Hanbin asked, noticing that Hao wasn't as lively as usual.

*"I'm fine,"* Hao replied with a small smile, though it didn't quite reach his eyes. *"Just a bit tired."*

Hanbin nodded, seemingly satisfied with the answer, and quickly moved on to discussing their plans for the day.

*"There's this store I've been dying to check out,"* Hanbin said excitedly. *"They just got in some new arrivals, and I think you'll love them!"*

Hao nodded, trying to muster up some enthusiasm. *"Sounds great, let's go."*

**Scene 2: At the Shopping Mall**

The shopping mall was bustling with people, and Hanbin's energy was infectious as he led Hao from one store to another. They browsed through racks of clothing, Hanbin eagerly pointing out different outfits.

*"What do you think of this one?"* Hanbin held up a stylish jacket, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Hao looked at it briefly before his gaze drifted to the floor, the pounding in his head growing worse.

*"It's nice,"* Hao said, his voice lacking its usual warmth.

Hanbin paused, his smile fading slightly as he noticed Hao's distant expression. *"Are you sure you're okay, hyung?"*

*"Yeah, I'm fine,"* Hao insisted, forcing another smile. *"Just a bit out of it today."*

Hanbin studied his hyung for a moment longer but decided not to press further. They continued shopping, though Hao's energy seemed to wane with each passing minute.

**Scene 3: Outside the Store**

As they exited one of the stores, the sunlight hit Hao, making his headache intensify. He suddenly felt lightheaded and swayed on his feet.

*"Hao!"* Hanbin exclaimed, quickly reaching out to steady him.

Hao grabbed onto Hanbin's arm, trying to steady himself. *"I'm okay,"* he murmured, but his voice was weak.

*"You're not okay,"* Hanbin said firmly, his concern growing. *"Let's get you back to the dorm."*

Hao didn't protest this time, too exhausted to argue. Hanbin quickly hailed a cab, helping Hao into the backseat.

**Scene 4: In the Cab**

As they rode back to the dorm, Hanbin kept glancing at Hao, who was resting his head against the window, eyes closed. Hanbin's heart ached, wishing he had noticed earlier how much Hao was struggling.

*"We'll be back soon, hyung,"* Hanbin said softly.

Hao nodded slightly but didn't open his eyes. He was grateful for Hanbin's presence, even though he felt guilty for cutting their day short.

**Scene 5: Back at the Dorm**

When they arrived at the dorm, Hanbin helped Hao out of the cab and into their shared living space. The maknae line looked up from their video game as the two entered, noticing the unusual sight of Hanbin supporting Hao.

*"What happened?"* Gyuvin asked, his brows furrowing in concern.

*"Hao's not feeling well,"* Hanbin explained as he guided Hao to the couch. *"He's got a headache."*

Gunwook quickly got up to fetch some water, while Yujin grabbed a blanket and draped it over Hao.

*"You should have told us earlier, hyung,"* Yujin said softly.

*"I didn't want to ruin the day,"* Hao mumbled, lying down on the couch.

*"You're more important than shopping,"* Hanbin said gently, sitting down next to Hao. *"You should rest."*

Hao nodded, closing his eyes as he tried to relax. The pain was still there, but it was comforting to be surrounded by his caring members.

**Scene 6: Later that Day**

After making sure Hao was comfortable, Hanbin stayed by his side, occasionally checking his temperature and offering water. The rest of the members took turns coming in to check on him, their plans for the day forgotten as they focused on making sure Hao was okay.

*"How are you feeling now?"* Hanbin asked after a while, his voice full of concern.

*"Better,"* Hao replied, his headache finally starting to subside. *"Thank you, Hanbin."*

*"Anytime, hyung,"* Hanbin said with a smile, relieved to see Hao looking a bit more like himself.

*"I'm sorry for cutting the day short,"* Hao added, still feeling guilty.

*"Don't be,"* Hanbin reassured him. *"We'll have plenty of other days to go shopping. Your health is what matters most."*

Hao smiled, touched by Hanbin's words. *"I'm lucky to have you guys,"* he said softly.

*"We're the lucky ones, hyung,"* Hanbin replied, ruffling Hao's hair affectionately.

The rest of the day passed quietly, with the members taking care of Hao and making sure he got the rest he needed. Though the day off hadn't gone as planned, it had brought them closer together, reminding them of the strong bond they shared as a group.

And as Hao finally drifted off to sleep, he couldn't help but feel grateful for the unexpected turn of events. After all, it wasn't about what they did with their time off-it was about who they spent it with.
