The recording studio was abuzz with activity as Riize prepared for their upcoming comeback. The room was filled with the familiar sounds of voices harmonizing, the clacking of keyboards, and the occasional burst of laughter as the members worked on finalizing their tracks. Wonbin, as usual, was focused and dedicated, putting his heart into every note he sang.

Despite the high spirits in the studio, Wonbin had been feeling unwell for the past few days. He had dismissed it as simple fatigue or maybe something he ate, but the persistent stomach pain had started to interfere with his ability to concentrate. He hadn't mentioned it to anyone, thinking it would pass on its own.

As the recording session progressed, Wonbin's discomfort grew more intense. He tried to ignore it, but the pain was becoming increasingly difficult to manage. He found himself wincing between takes, his face pale and drawn. He hoped it would subside soon so he could continue contributing to the session.

The other members, who were focused on their parts, noticed that Wonbin's energy seemed to be dwindling. His usual enthusiasm was replaced with a subdued demeanor, and they exchanged concerned glances.

Suddenly, as they were in the middle of recording a particularly demanding segment, Wonbin's pain became unbearable. He clutched his abdomen and staggered, trying to hold himself upright, but the pain was too much. He collapsed to the floor, gasping and clutching his stomach.

The room fell silent as the members rushed to his side, their faces filled with alarm. "Wonbin hyung!" Sohee shouted, crouching beside him. "Are you okay?"

Wonbin could barely manage a strained shake of his head, his face contorted with pain. "It hurts... so much..."

Shotaro, who had been observing from the control room, quickly joined the group. "This doesn't look good. We need to get him help."

The manager, who had been monitoring the situation from a distance, immediately stepped in. "We're taking him to the hospital," he said decisively. "This isn't something we can handle here."

The other members, though worried, nodded in agreement. The urgency in the manager's voice was clear, and they quickly helped Wonbin into the waiting car. His breathing was shallow and labored, and he looked pale and weak as he was carefully transported to the hospital.

At the hospital, the team quickly checked Wonbin in and began assessing his condition. The pain was excruciating, and Wonbin could barely focus as he was wheeled through the busy emergency department. The members stayed close, their worry palpable as they followed the medical team.

In the examination room, the doctors began their evaluation. The members, anxiously waiting in the waiting room, couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness. They paced nervously, the weight of the situation hanging heavily over them.

After what felt like an eternity, a doctor finally emerged to give them an update. "Mr Kim is experiencing severe abdominal pain due to appendicitis," the doctor explained. "We need to perform an emergency appendectomy to relieve the pressure and prevent further complications."

The members exchanged worried glances, their faces reflecting their concern for their friend. "How serious is it?" Anton asked, his voice trembling slightly.

"The surgery is routine, but it's important we address it quickly," the doctor reassured them. "Mr Kim will be fine, but he'll need to stay in the hospital for a few days to recover."

Relief mixed with anxiety swept over them. They were grateful that the condition was treatable, but the worry about Wonbin's well-being remained. The members decided to stay at the hospital, hoping to offer support once Wonbin was out of surgery.

As the hours passed, the surgery was completed, and Wonbin was moved to a recovery room. The members were allowed to visit him, their hearts heavy with concern. They found Wonbin lying in bed, looking pale but more stable than before.

"Hey, Wonbin-ah," Eunsoek said softly, approaching the bedside. "How are you feeling?"

Wonbin managed a weak smile, though his face was still pale and tired. "I'm okay... just sore."

Seunghan and the others gathered around, offering their support and comfort. "We were so worried about you," Seunghan said, his voice filled with relief. "You should have told us you were in so much pain."

Wonbin looked down, feeling a pang of guilt. "I didn't want to be a burden. I thought it would get better on its own."

"No, you should have said something," Sungchan said firmly. "We're a team, and we need to look out for each other. You're not a burden."

The other members nodded in agreement, their expressions serious but supportive. They spent the next few hours by Wonbin's side, offering words of encouragement and comfort as he began his recovery.

Despite the pain and discomfort, Wonbin was grateful for the support of his friends. The experience had been a harsh reminder of the importance of looking after one's health and the strength of their bond as a group.

As the days went by, Wonbin's condition improved. The surgery had been successful, and he began to regain his strength. The members visited him regularly, bringing him small comforts and spending time talking with him to keep his spirits up.

Finally, the day came when Wonbin was discharged from the hospital. He was still recovering, but he was well enough to return home. The members, relieved and happy to see him improving, helped him with his things and made sure he was comfortable as he prepared to leave.

Before they left the hospital, Shotaro pulled Wonbin aside. "We've learned a lot from this experience," he said, his voice earnest. "We need to be more attentive to each other's needs and make sure we're all taking care of ourselves. We're a team, and that means looking out for one another, both on and off stage."

Wonbin nodded, his heart warmed by the support of his friends. "Thank you, everyone. I'm really grateful for everything you've done. I promise to be more open about how I'm feeling from now on."

The members gathered around Wonbin, offering their final goodbyes to the hospital staff and making sure that he was settled comfortably in the car. They drove back home, the atmosphere lighter now that Wonbin was on the road to recovery.

The incident had been a sobering reminder of the importance of health and communication within the group. The experience had strengthened their bond and deepened their commitment to each other. As they prepared for their comeback, they did so with a renewed sense of unity and a greater appreciation for the strength of their friendship.

And as Wonbin rested and recovered, surrounded by his supportive friends, he knew that he was not alone. The members of Riize had proven that their connection went beyond the stage, and their dedication to one another would carry them through any challenge they faced together.
