All six members stared at the door, unmoving. They all sneaked peaks at their maknae, who hid himself in the blanket. The more they couldn't see him, the less they would hate him, he thought. 


"Changkyun, are you feeling better?"


The maknae curled up even more, wondering if he was hearing things. He must be dreaming. He pinched himself just to make sure. Ow. Bad decision. Changkyun let out a soft yelp. Realizing what he has done, his hand flew to cover over his mouth and his body tensed.


With his back facing them, he didn't see Wonho jabbing Minhyuk's ribs, mouthing 'I told you he was cute' and Minhyuk shrugging it off. He didn't see Kihyun's eyebrow shooting up and his mouth in the shape of an 'o'. He didn't see Shownu's grin or Hyungwon's slight step forward. He didn't see Jooheon's face relax a little from his hard glare. 


Instead, he pulled the cover in farther up to cover practically all of his body and silently wished Nu'bility was still in the room with him. 


Kihyun cleared his throat. "Changkyun?"


The mentioned person held in his breath, his eyes tightly closed. 


"I think he fell asleep." He heard Wonho whisper loudly.


"Yea, let's go first, then." The tallest had replied just as loudly, making the youngest cringe. 


He heard their footsteps fading away out of the door before he let out his breath. Moments later, the door reopened.


"Patient Im Changkyun, let me do a few checks on you before you get discharged." A feminine voice called and Changkyun finally turned - to catch the gazes from both the nurse and his members. 


He gulped.


"You should at least act decently, ya'know." Kihyun commented while the nurse checked his blood pressure and heart rate.


"I...I was really sleeping." The maknae tried to defend himself.


Hyungwon snorted, "yea right, and Wonho has a brain."


"Hey!" Wonho mercilessly jabbed the tallest in the ribs.


"Oww!" Hyungwon retaliated, shoving Wonho onto the floor. 


Wonho managed to catch himself in time, though he stayed squatting above the floor and glaring up at Hyungwon.


Everyone glanced at Changkyun in amazement when they heard his laughter echoing in the room. The moment felt surreal for Changkyun, for his hyungs were looking at him with a look other than hate. The moment was ruined though, when the nurse yelled, "Quit laughing! Your heart rate is increasing. Kids nowadays."


Changkyun coughed loudly and waited while the nurse finished final checks. However, just when he thought he could go back to the dorm, the nurse turned towards the members.
