Seungmin POV 

I don't know why exactly but when I woke up this morning my throat felt very itchy and sore. I trudged into the kitchen to get some water, where Chan was already up making breakfast. "Good morning Min, how'd you sleep?" He greets me. "Good." I replied but instead nothing came out. "Did you hear me Minnie?" Chan asks. What is wrong with me? "Yes, I heard. I'm good." I try to repeat but again no noise came out.

I panicked, then I gave him a quick thumbs up. I quickly got myself a glass of water and chugged it down. That seemed to have helped the dryness a bit. "Oh, Seungmin don't forget about vocal practice today. We have to be there early today." Chan remarked flipping over the bacon from the pan.

Oh shit. Vocal practice?! How the hell am I supposed to do vocal practice when I can't even talk? This is really bad.

Chan then calls the rest of the boys for breakfast. All the rest of them are already dressed and ready to go. The water that I drank didn't seem to help my voice so I made myself some Chamomile tea and went to go get dressed.

**Time skip**

Okay, finally we all are ready and start to head out the door. All my other members are chatting away while I stay silent. I don't think they noticed my quietness though.

So we're all doing vocal warm ups right now and my voice keeps fading and coming back. I'm sure it's okay. I can survive this practice. "Okay, Seungmin can you sing your first lines for Thunderous please?" Chan asked. Damn it why did I have to start first?

Okay here goes nothing... literally though. I tried to sing but I didn't make a sound. Chan chuckled a bit and so did Han and Minho. "Can you try that again Min." Chan says. I nodded slowly and put all my power into my voice this time. Still only a weak little noise came out which was super embarrassing. 

My face turned bright red. "Uhh, are you okay Seungmin?" Minho asks no longer finding anything funny. My eyes start to burn with tears as I shake my head no. "What's going on Seungmin?" Changbin asks. My breath starts to stutter as I shrugged. I don't know what the hell is going on! I find a piece of paper and a pen and I start to scribble down some words. 

Chan carefully picks up the letter I wrote as the other members crowd around to read it too. Once their all done reading they look at me with disbelief. "You-you can't speak Seungmin?" Hyunjin asks, almost whispering. I begin to cry at his words. What if I can't speak for the rest of my life?

"Hey, it's ok Minnie I'm sure it's not permanent." Felix says wiping away a few of my tears. More tears start to flow down my face. "Let's go to the doctor and see what they have to say." Chan states. Bangchan, Han, and I head to the hospital while the other members make their way back home.

"So what's going on today?" The doctor asks putting on some gloves. Her I.D. says Mrs. Kim. "Well, Seungmin's voice is gone." Han says sadly. "Is your throat sore or dry?" She asks again, examining me carefully. I nod. She takes my temperature. "Oh you have a bit of a fever Seungmin." She informs. Just then I started to cough uncontrollably. "Oh my Seungmin." A worried look spreads across her face. "Can you try to speak for me?" I open my mouth to speak but again my voice refuses to come and I'm silent.

She takes off her gloves as she suddenly looks very serious. "Seungmin I'm very sorry I have to inform you of this, but I've diagnosed you with laryngitis." She says. I hear Chan and Han both sigh heavily. Tears start to go down my flushed cheeks. I bury my face in my hands and cry.

"It should last up to 3 or 4 weeks. I recommend lots of rest and drink lots of fluids." Mrs. Kim says, mostly to Chan because Han is busy trying to console me.

When we left the hospital the car ride is just Chan and Han trying to cheer me up while I'm crying my eyes out.

We arrived at our dorms surrounded by our worried members. "Seungmin was diagnosed with laryngitis." Chan sighed. I start to cry harder. "It's alright Seungmin-ah you'll get better in no time!" Minho remarked. I smile at his efforts to cheer me up despite tears still running down my face. All my other members agree with Minho and comfort me engulfing me in huge hugs.

I'm so thankful for them. I don't know what I'd do without them. Jeongin passes me a couple of tissues. "Do you guys maybe wanna watch a movie?" Hyunjin asks. I nod my head, dabbing at my eyes with a tissue. 

"Okay Seungmin tell me what you wanna watch." Hyunjin says grabbing the remote. "Sorry I mean point to what you wanna watch." He corrects himself. Changbin flicks him in the back for that too-soon-joke and they laugh. I smile with them. I choose to watch Ponyo which is my favorite movie right now. And we all have a great night.
