Across a Distance (WinWin)

WinWin had always enjoyed his solo trips as a way to escape the relentless fast pace of life with WayV. It was his way of recharging, taking a break from the constant spotlight and the demands of their busy schedules. This trip, to a quiet mountain town in the outskirts of a distant country, was meant to be a retreat—a chance to breathe and unwind.

However, the serene getaway quickly turned into a nightmare. What started as a mild cough and a runny nose soon evolved into a high fever, chills, and persistent fatigue. WinWin tried to brush it off, convincing himself it was just a temporary illness. But as the days passed, his condition worsened. His temperature spiked, and he felt increasingly weak and disoriented.

On the fifth day of his illness, WinWin's situation took a turn for the worse. He awoke in the middle of the night, his body drenched in sweat and shaking uncontrollably. The room seemed to close in on him, and every breath was a struggle. Realizing he couldn't ignore it any longer, he forced himself to call for help.

His phone barely had a signal, but he managed to get a call through to Kun, who answered groggily. "Hello? WinWin?"

WinWin's voice was barely a whisper, raspy and strained. "Hyung... I need help... I'm in a hospital..."

Kun's voice immediately grew alarmed. "What happened? Where are you?"

"I don't know... I'm so weak... They say it's something serious..."

Panic flared in Kun's eyes as he exchanged worried glances with the other members. "Hang in there, WinWin. We're coming to get you. Just stay with us, okay?"

The call ended, and Kun quickly gathered the other members—Ten, Hendery, Xiaojun, and Yangyang. The gravity of the situation hit them like a ton of bricks. Their friend and bandmate was alone, sick, and far from home.

The initial shock was followed by a whirlwind of action. They faced numerous challenges: travel restrictions due to the pandemic, long flight durations, and visa complications. Every obstacle seemed like another hurdle in their desperate attempt to reach WinWin.

Kun, the leader, took charge of organizing their journey. "We need to get to him as quickly as possible. Let's figure out the fastest way there."

Ten, always meticulous, handled the logistical details. "I'll sort out the travel arrangements and contact the airline. We need to make sure everything is in order."

Hendery, Xiaojun, and Yangyang did everything they could to support their efforts. Hendery reached out to their management for assistance, while Xiaojun and Yangyang made sure they had all necessary documents and supplies for the trip.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, WinWin's condition was deteriorating. The doctors had diagnosed him with severe respiratory infection, likely pneumonia, exacerbated by his weakened immune system. He lay in a hospital bed, hooked up to IVs and an oxygen mask. His strength waned with each passing hour, and he could barely stay awake.

The loneliness was the hardest part. The hospital room felt cold and impersonal, a stark contrast to the warmth and familiarity of his members' presence. Every time he closed his eyes, he was haunted by thoughts of his friends, worried and helpless.

The journey to reach WinWin was fraught with difficulties. The members faced long flights, unexpected delays, and a complicated maze of travel restrictions. Their exhaustion was palpable, but the urgency kept them going.

When they finally arrived in the small town, it was late at night. They rushed to the hospital, hearts pounding with a mix of fear and determination. Kun led the way, his face a mask of resolve despite the fatigue.

At the hospital, the front desk staff were initially hesitant due to visitor restrictions, but Kun's determination and the urgency of the situation helped them gain access. The nurse on duty led them to WinWin's room.

When the members entered, they found WinWin lying in the bed, his face pale and his breathing labored. The sight of him in such a weakened state was almost too much to bear. Kun moved to his side, holding WinWin's hand gently.

"WinWin... we're here," Kun said softly, his voice cracking with emotion. "We're not going anywhere."

WinWin's eyes fluttered open, and he managed a faint, grateful smile. "Hyung... you came..."

"Of course we did," Ten said, his voice trembling. "We're here to take care of you."

The other members gathered around, their expressions a mix of relief and concern. Xiaojun adjusted the IV drip and checked WinWin's vitals, while Yangyang and Hendery spoke softly, offering words of comfort.

As the days passed, the members' presence had a profound impact on WinWin's recovery. Their unwavering support and care helped lift his spirits and contributed to his gradual improvement. Kun and Ten took turns staying by WinWin's side, making sure he was comfortable and well-cared for. They coordinated with the hospital staff to ensure he received the best treatment.

WinWin's physical condition improved, but the emotional support from his friends was equally vital. Hendery, Xiaojun, and Yangyang brought messages from fans and personal items to make the hospital room feel more like home. They read to him, played his favorite music, and shared stories to keep his mind occupied.

Kun, always the leader, sat with WinWin late into the night, talking about their upcoming plans and reminiscing about their shared memories. The conversation, though sometimes strained, was a source of comfort for WinWin.

"I'm sorry for causing so much trouble," WinWin said one evening, his voice still weak but steady.

Kun shook his head, his eyes soft with understanding. "You don't need to apologize. What matters is that you're getting better. We're just glad we could be here for you."

The day finally came when WinWin was discharged from the hospital. The members helped him pack up his belongings, their relief evident in their smiles and the lightness in their voices.

The journey back to their home country was long and tiring, but it was a journey made easier by the support of his friends. WinWin, though still recovering, felt a deep sense of gratitude and relief. The experience had tested their strength and resilience, but it had also deepened their bond.

When they returned, they were greeted with cheers and congratulations from their fans and fellow members. The outpouring of support was overwhelming, and WinWin felt a profound sense of gratitude.

As he settled back into his routine, he knew that the experience had changed him. The distance, the challenges, and the fear had all been a part of a journey that had strengthened their connection. He was reminded of the importance of friendship, of the strength they drew from each other, and the resilience they could find even in the face of adversity.

WinWin looked around at his members—his friends, his family—and knew that no matter where life took them, they would always be there for each other, no matter the distance.
