*******************************
It had been a long, exhausting day for the members of Zerobaseone. After spending hours on a variety show shoot filled with laughter, games, and interviews, they were finally heading back to the dorms. The members piled into the van, their tiredness settling in like a heavy blanket. The soft hum of the engine and the gentle rocking of the vehicle had lulled some of them into a light nap. However, for Yujin, the youngest, the situation was far from peaceful.

He had been battling a queasy stomach since they left the filming site, trying his best to ignore it. Sitting beside Hao, Yujin clenched his hands into tight fists, hoping that the discomfort would pass. But as the van twisted and turned along the winding roads, he knew he was fighting a losing battle. His face grew paler, his breaths shallow. Hao, who had been scrolling through his phone, glanced over at him and immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Yujin, are you okay?" Hao asked, his voice calm but filled with concern. Yujin barely managed to shake his head. He swallowed hard, his face contorting as he tried to hold it in, but it was too late. "Stop the van. Stop the van now!" Hao called out quickly to the driver. The van screeched to a halt near a small patch of trees by the side of the road. Before anyone else could react, Yujin stumbled out, his legs wobbly as he staggered toward the nearest bush. The other members, confused and half-asleep, sat up to see what was happening.

Yujin collapsed near the bush, doubling over as he vomited. His body trembled from the effort, and he could hear the soft murmur of the others inside the van. Hao, however, had already gotten out and crouched beside him, a steadying hand on Yujin's back. "Take it slow. No need to rush." Hao said softly. Yujin couldn't respond, his throat burning as his stomach convulsed again. He felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him, mixed with the dizziness that refused to go away. When he finally finished, he was too weak to stand. His legs buckled beneath him as he tried to get up, and for a moment, his vision blurred.

Hao's arms were around him instantly, pulling him up gently. "Easy, Yujin. Don't push yourself."

Yujin leaned heavily against Hao, his legs trembling, his breaths coming in shallow gasps. "I'm... I'm sorry, hyung." Yujin mumbled weakly, his voice shaky."Don't apologize. Just focus on breathing." Hao said, his voice firm but kind as he helped Yujin walk back to the van. Yujin's weight was almost entirely on him now, but Hao didn't falter.

When they finally reached the van, Hao opened the door and helped Yujin climb in. He laid Yujin down on the seat, propping his head up with a small cushion. Yujin's eyes fluttered closed, but he could still hear hao.

"Drive slowly. We need to get him back to the dorms." Hao spoke quietly to the driver. The rest of the members, who had been watching everything unfold, exchanged worried glances. Gunwook, who was sitting in the front, turned around to look at Yujin. "Is he gonna be okay?"

"He'll be fine. Just carsickness. It hit him hard this time." Hao replied calmly, sitting beside Yujin again.
The rest of the drive was silent, except for the low rumble of the engine and the occasional cough from Yujin. His body was exhausted, and even though his eyes were closed, he could still feel the nausea lingering. But what comforted him most was the gentle presence of Hao beside him, who made sure he was steady whenever the van took a turn.

When they finally arrived at the dorms, the other members quickly got out, leaving space for Hao and Yujin to exit last. Hao helped Yujin stand again, his arm around his shoulders as they walked into the building. Yujin felt as though the ground was tilting beneath him, his dizziness refusing to subside.
