Food and Them

Chapter 10: Secret

"What's wrong, oppa?"asked Sally.

"I don't know how long I can withstand the pain. The doctor said I have disc injury. Remember that day when you see me in the carpark. I felt numbness around my arm. I scared I will dissappoint the members and B2UTY. I dance and sing hard for them," he said in between cries.

Sally rubs his back softly.

"I bet they will undertstand and wants you to be healthy. Your members and B2UTIES will understand,"Sally coax him.

Hyun Seung kept quiet but his tears continue to roll down his cheeks. Sally still rub his back softly. She just keep quiet till he calm down. Hyun Seung wipe his tears. He apologise for crying.

"It's okay. Tell them when you are ready but not too late," she advise.

"Hyun Seungie,are you okay?" asked YoSeob.

He asked because he saw Hyun Seung looks he is in pain. Hyun Seung smiles and nod. They are practising for the upcoming concert. Yoseob been observing Hyun Seung's behaviour and expressions. These few days he did not talk much. He showed the pain expression frequently when they are practising Good Luck.

"DooJoon, did Hyun Seungie tells you anything that he is pain or something?"asked Yoseob.

DooJoon shakes his head. Yoseob raise his concern to DooJoon.

"Are you sure? I will observe him too. Don't tell the others if not they will worry," said DooJoon.

Yoseob nod and he took out his phone. He was contemplating whether to ask Sally about Hyun Seung. They have a group chat at KakaoTalk with Sally. Yoseob private message her about his concern and he continued with the practice. Soon, they will need to go live for V app. He keep an eye on Hyun Seung.

Annyeong Sally! I want to ask about Hyun Seung. Did he tell you anything? I'm kind of worried.

Sally read the message again and again but she do not know how to answer. She made a promise to Hyun Seung. She message Hyun Seung to ask how is he. He has yet to answer. If she doesn't reply, it seems suspicious.

Annyeong Oppa. What happen to Hyun Seung oppa?

He seems in pain while we are practicing. His face was pale. I am worried.

Sally dials Hyun Seung's number. She does not know what to do. Should she tell YoSeob? Hyun Seung did not answer his phone. She tries again. In a few minute, the boys are going oive on V app. Sally sigh.

Hyun Seung-oppa, gwaenchanh-a? Please answer me.

Yah...I am practicing. How can I answer your call? Aigooo.. Yoseobie inform you, didn't he?

Ne. Hyun Seung-oppa, jebal!

Yah! Don't worry. I'll be okay. This is between you and me only. See you soon!

You are so stubborn. Aigooooo! Take care, Oppa! Eat your medicine!

Sally sigh. She goes to watch their V app live streaming. She plans the menu for the concert. She wants to cook something close to their heart and can bring warmth to them.
