Hanbin woke up on a sunny saturday morning feeling an unusual heaviness in his head and a soreness in his throat. He blinked a few times, hoping the discomfort would fade, but it only seemed to intensify. Groaning, he turned to his side and pulled the blanket over his head, wishing he could sleep it off.

But the noise from the living room was too loud to ignore. He could hear the laughter and chatter of his bandmates, who were clearly enjoying their day off. Hanbin sighed and forced himself to sit up. The room spun slightly as he did, and he pressed a hand to his forehead, feeling the heat radiating from his skin. "Ugh, not today." He muttered to himself.

He reached for his phone and saw several messages from his group chat. They were planning to go out for brunch and then spend the afternoon at the park. Normally, Hanbin would be the first to jump out of bed and join in on the fun, but today he just couldn't muster the energy.

Summoning his strength, Hanbin stumbled out of bed and made his way to the bathroom. The mirror confirmed what he already knew: he looked terrible. His normally bright eyes were dull, and his cheeks were flushed with fever.

After splashing some cold water on his face, he headed to the living room, where the rest of the group was lounging. Jiwoong was the first to notice him.

"Hey, Hanbin! You're finally up! You ready for brunch?" Jiwoong asks him. Hanbin shook his head slowly. "I don't think so hyung. I feel really sick." Immediately, the room fell silent. All eyes turned to Hanbin, and concern etched itself on their faces. Zhang Hao, the group's motherly figure got up and walked over to him.

"Hanbin, you look terrible! Why didn't you say anything earlier?You're burning up!" Hao scolded gently, placing a hand on his forehead. "I didn't want to ruin the plans." Hanbin mumbled."Plans can wait, hyung. Your health is more important." Ricky says. Gyuvin nodded and says "You need to go back to bed. We'll take care of everything."

Before Hanbin could protest, he was gently but firmly guided back to his room. Taerae made him lie down and pulled the blanket up to his chin."Just rest, okay? We'll bring you some medicine and soup." He said, his voice soft and reassuring. Hanbin closed his eyes, grateful for his friends. He could hear them moving around. Their voices hushed. After a few minutes, the door opened again, and Yujin, entered with a tray.

"Here you go, hyung. Hao hyung made you some herbal tea and soup while matthew hyung got you some medicine." Yujin said, placing the tray on the bedside table. Hanbin smiled weakly. "Thanks, Yujin." Yujin grinned. "No problem hyung. Just get better soon, okay? We need our leader back in action." As Yujin left, Zhang Hao returned with a damp cloth and placed it on Hanbin's forehead. "This should help with the fever. Just rest and don't worry about anything else." Hanbin nodded, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over him. He sipped the tea and took the medicine, then lay back down, letting the warmth of the soup and the care of his friends soothe him.

The hours passed in a blur. Hanbin drifted in and out of sleep, comforted by the occasional visits from his bandmates. They brought him water, checked his temperature, and even stayed to chat with him, keeping his spirits up. In the late afternoon, Gyuvin came in and sat beside him. "How are you feeling now, hyung?" Hanbin says" A little better. Thanks so much for taking care." Gyuvin smiles and say "That's what we're here for. You're not just a member you're family." Hanbin felt a lump in his throat. "I know. And I'm really grateful for that."

"Good." Gyuvin said, patting his shoulder. "Now get some more rest. We'll be here if you need anything."
As Hanbin closed his eyes again, he felt a deep sense of gratitude. Despite feeling miserable, he knew he was lucky to have such caring friends by his side. And with their support, he was sure he would be back on his feet in no time.
