The night was quiet, a comforting blanket of calm settling over the Zerobaseone dorm as the members lounged around the living room. The rain started lightly at first, pattering against the windows, but soon picked up, drumming with a loud, steady rhythm. Ricky glanced outside and nudged Gyuvin, eyes sparkling with excitement.

“Hyungs, it’s raining!” Yujin exclaimed, his voice echoing across the room. Gunwook's face lit up as he peered through the window, and Yujin looked up from his phone, his usual sleepy expression now replaced with curiosity.

“Let’s go play in the rain! Come on, it’ll be fun!” Gyuvin grinned, his energy contagious. The hyung line exchanged glances, amusement twinkling in their eyes.

“Are they serious?” Taerae chuckled, shaking his head. It’s pouring out there.“Let them go. They’re like little kids sometimes.” Jiwoong said, smiling softly, watching the maknaes fumble out their shoes in a hurry. “They’ll catch a cold, you know.” Hao leaned back, his voice teasing. "Maybe, but they’ve been cooped up all day. Let them have some fun.” Hanbin shrugged as he grinned. Matthew glanced at the younger ones as they dashed outside.“They’re going to regret this tomorrow.” Matthew whispers to others, who nodded in agreement.

Outside, the maknae line erupted into laughter, splashing in the puddles and letting the rain drench them. Ricky spun around, arms spread wide as he looked up at the sky, raindrops streaming down his face. Yujin and Gyuvin tackled Gunwook, and the four of them tumbled into a puddle, getting muddier with each second.

“This is the best!” Yujin shouted, his cheeks flushed with excitement.
Inside, the hyungs watched them through the window. “Look at them. They’re like puppies in the rain.” Jiwoong exclaimed, folding his arms. “Anyone would think that they’ve never seen rain before." Hao laughed, shaking his head as he watched Yujin jump and splash.
“They’re going to come in here begging for warm towels in an hour.” Hanbin says, a smirk forming on his face.

Sure enough, after what seemed like hours of splashing and tumbling, the maknae line stumbled back inside, dripping wet. Their clothes clung to them, faces flushed with exhilaration. The hyungs burst into laughter, teasing them about how ridiculous they looked.
“Go dry off before you catch a cold.” Jiwoong scolded gently, waving a towel in Ricky’s direction.“Yeah, yeah, we know hyung.” Gyuvin replied, rolling his eyes, though he couldn’t help but smile.

After a chaotic round of drying off, the hyung line finally retreated to their rooms, leaving the younger members to do the same. They barely managed to change into dry clothes before they collapsed into bed, exhausted. The next morning, the dorm was unusually quiet. Hanbin stretched as he stepped out of his room, surprised to see only the older members sitting around.

“Has anyone seen the maknaes?” Matthew asks, noticing the absence.
“I don’t think they’re up yet.” Hao replied, a hint of concern in his voice. Matthew sighed, already suspecting what might have happened. “I’ll go check on them.” He walked down the hall, gently knocking on each of their doors.

First was Ricky’s room. When there was no answer, Matthew quietly pushed the door open and found Ricky curled up under his blanket, his face pale and sweaty.

“Ricky, you alright?” Matthew whispered, gently placing a hand on Ricky’s forehead. “Hyung, my throat hurts...” Ricky mumbled, his voice hoarse. Matthew frowned and moved to check on the others. In Gyuvin’s room, he found Gyuvin tangled in his blankets, sniffling and coughing softly. Gunwook was a bit better but groggy, his face red with fever. Finally, in Yujin’s room, Matthew found him buried under a pile of blankets, shivering slightly.
Matthew quickly returned to the others, concern etched into his face. “They’re all sick, especially Gyuvin and Yujin.”  Matthew says, as he comes back to the living room.
