************************************
The dorms were unusually quiet that night. After a grueling day of practice, the members of Zerobaseone had gone out for a quick dinner at a nearby restaurant. Laughter, teasing, and chopsticks clinking against bowls filled the evening. But by the time they returned, exhaustion had taken over. One by one, the members disappeared into their own dorms.

In the shared dorm of Hanbin, Hao, and Gyuvin, the atmosphere was just as still. The three returned together, sluggish from the weight of practice and the heavy meal. Each disappeared into their rooms to freshen up and sleep.

Except for Gyuvin.

Something didn’t sit right in his stomach.

The third-youngest member lay on his bed staring at the ceiling, his eyes wide and restless. A churn twisted in his gut. Cold sweat clung to his forehead. He pressed his hand over his stomach, breathing slowly. But the queasiness only grew worse. Suddenly, his mouth flooded with saliva.
"Ah... no..." He mumbled, bolting up from the bed. He rushed to the bathroom and barely managed to drop to his knees before retching into the toilet bowl, his hands clutching the cold ceramic."Hurk... haahh..." His body convulsed as his stomach forced itself empty, the pain sharp and relentless.

In the dorm next door, Hanbin's eyes snapped open. He wasn’t a deep sleeper to begin with, and the strange, gagging noises made him immediately alert. He sat up and strained his ears.
"What the—was that...?" he whispered, frowning. He kicked off the blanket and padded quickly to Hao’s room, giving the door a soft knock before pushing it open. "Hao-hyung."

"Hmm? What is it?" Hao asked, rubbing his eyes groggily. "I think something’s wrong. I heard... someone throwing up?" Hanbin said,  his voice filled with concern. That was enough to wake Hao up fully. The two hurried into Gyuvin’s room, only to find it empty.

Their heads turned to the faint light spilling from the bathroom door.
Hanbin rushed forward. He pushed the door open. "Gyuvin!" He called, eyes widening at the sight of the boy hunched over the toilet.

Hao was right behind him, quickly dropping beside their dongsaeng.
"Gyuvin, what happened? You're burning up..." Hao asked, brushing the back of his hand against Gyuvin’s damp forehead. Gyuvin coughed weakly, trying to speak but barely managed to say,"My stomach hurts... I feel like I’m dying..."

"Shhh, don’t talk. You’re sick," Hao murmured. Hanbin pulled out his phone and stepped into the hallway. He called Mr. Kim without hesitation, even though it was well past midnight.
"I’m sorry for calling so late, hyung," Hanbin said quickly. "It’s Gyuvin. He’s really sick—he’s throwing up and burning up with fever. We think it might be food poisoning. Can you come right now?"

Mr. Kim didn’t hesitate. "I’m coming. Be there in ten minutes."

When Hanbin stepped back into the bathroom, his heart dropped.
Gyuvin had collapsed, unconscious, his body slumped against Hao.

"Gyuvin!"

"He passed out a minute ago," Hao said tightly, cradling Gyuvin’s head in his lap. "He’s burning up more than before." Hanbin knelt beside them, gently patting Gyuvin’s cheek. "Gyuvin, Wake up. Please open your eyes."
But Gyuvin didn’t stir.

Minutes later, Mr. Kim burst into the dorm. His face was pale from worry.
"Where is he?" Hanbin led him to the bathroom, where Hao had already started positioning Gyuvin to be lifted.
