"Shit" Yeonjun exclaimed when he saw Gaile fall on the floor

"Gaile?!Gaile?!" he shook her and looked at his members with wide eyes when she didn't respond.

"Shit! we should bring her to the hospital!" Soobin said

Everyone is panicking right now. Yeonjun is holding Gaile in his arms. Taehyun picked up all her stuff from the ground. Kai and Beomgyu fanning her face. Soobin called the hospital. And their manager called Bang-PD about what is happening.

"Shit!shit!shit! she's burning, like literally burning hot," Yeonjun said panicking

"Manager-nim we should bring her to the hospital immediately," Soobin said

"I can lift her up," Yeonjun said

"Hyung we need to hurry, Gaile is getting paler now," Kai said

"Press the elevator, NOW!" Beomgyu said panicking

"Let's go, let's go, let's go!," Taehyun said

"Why is she alone though? where are her members?" Soobin asked

"I don't really care right now, they left her alone when they should be the ones taking care of her" Yeonjun said while being disappointed, especially to Heeseung

My eyelids are heavy, weighted down with some unseen force. They jerk open, and I see a blurry room, white light sterile, and then, slowly, through my blurred vision, tiles on the ceiling-those cold neutral squares come into focus, one by one, in my gaze. The silence is filled by that faint, rhythmic beep of a monitor, drawing me from the fog of confusion, pulling me back into the world of the living.

Where am I?

There is a soft murmur of voices in the distance. Slowly turn my head, the ache shoots through my skull at the slight movement. The air is antiseptic, clean, or so I have deemed it medical-like. I realize I am lying on my back and find that cool sheets confirm the situation.

Hospital?

The last thing I remember, flashes, is the world spinning out of control-the world spilling out from under me as my body gives way beneath me. It's cold sweat down the neck as this heart beats faster, matching the rhythm of the machine beside me.

I try to raise myself up, but my limbs feel heavy and weak-as if they no longer own themselves.

On one hand is an IV taped on, a thin tubing up over to a bag suspended over the bed. Liquid flowing softly into my veins: unsettling yet soothing in its constancy.

"You're awake," a soft voice cuts into my spinning thoughts. I turn to find a nurse standing beside me. The nurse's face is calm but reassuring.

She holds up a clipboard and scans the information before her with intent.

"What... happened?" My voice crackles barely more than a whisper.

"'You fainted," she says, smiling kindly. "Someone brought you here in the hospital. You're going to be all right, but we just need to run a few more tests just to make sure everything's all right."

Fainted. It makes sense, but my head still reels with confusion. My body feels fragile, as if it is not entirely mine, tethered to machines and tubes keeping me in place.

I close my eyes, grounding myself for a moment, trying to understand the stillness around me. All this beeping, this sterile light, the nurse's calm voice-it's all so distant and yet so chock-full of life.

"Hyung your phone is ringing" Jungwon said while giving me my phone

Your heart sinks when you see the caller ID. Yeonjun hyung. You hesitate for a moment but pick up anyway.

"Hello?"

You can immediately hear the tension in their voice. Your stomach twists.

"Why didn't you take care of Gaile? I thought you said you would!"

You don't know why but you get a bad feeling. A feeling of fear. You can feel the heat creeping up your neck. You take a deep breath, trying to steady yourself.

"What...what happened to Gaile?!?" you said while your voice is shaking

"We saw her faint outside the dance practice room... she is burning up. The doctor also said that she's very malnourished, that is why her body gave up." yeonjun hyung said.

"I know, I know. I'm really sorry. Things got a bit out of hand, and I didn't mean to let you down."

You can sense his frustration, and it stings. You shuffle your feet, trying to find the right words.

"I should have communicated better. She obviously said that shes tired, but we ignored her. It was a lot, and I thought shes just being dramatic."

His silence speaks volumes. You can almost see the disappointment etched on their face.

"I get why you're upset. I messed up, and I'll fix it. Just give me a chance."

You hear him exhale sharply, and your heart races. The weight of the conversation hangs heavily between you.

"Please, say to us what hospital she is on right now and we will go there. Please forgive us. I promise I'll do better. We really care about Gaile."

As the conversation unfolds, you can feel the tension starting to ease a little, but you know there's a long way to go.

"She is in the hospital near HYBE, room 601."

"Okay thank you. I appreciate you talking to me. I'll make it right."

You hang up feeling a mix of relief and resolve, knowing you have work to do to rebuild their trust.
