It's the same routine again and again. The girls are preparing for Mcountdown. It's still early in the morning so, the girls use the stage to rehearse like usual before getting ready for pre-recording.

"Aniya Mina. You should move a little bit to the centre", Jihyo point out her members mistakes one by one. "Chae, please smile more"

"Ah unnie, you're so noisy", Chaeyoung replies with a pout.

Jihyo just laughs at Chaeyoung's confession because she knows she has been noisy like a mum. She just want their stage to always be perfect with no silly mistakes. JYP pd-nim is going to monitor their performances after all so, no mistakes are allowed.

Mina sits down on the floor after the song end and the lights already turn off. They have done their pre-recording. She breathes heavily. All she know is she don't feel really good with her own condition.

She can feel her body temperature starting to rise and her palms are all sweaty with cold sweats.

She stand up and pretend to be okay before any of her members realise. They left the stage and walk their way to the waiting room.

They bump into Bangtan and greet like usual. "You guys have nice hair colours", Taehyung says when TWICE walk pass Bangtan. "Especially Mina-shi!", he continues. Jimin's heart wince when he hears his friend is complimenting that girl. He only looks at the floor to avoid from making any obvious expression on his face.

TWICE who heard the compliment only laugh at Taehyung's friendliness. Mina just reply the compliment with a faint smile. She's not in mood to laugh together with them. All she wants to do is to sleep in the van.

Jimin who notices something different with the girl only walk away like it's nothing. He's not anyone to ask about her health or condition and of course Twice might think he's flirty to suddenly being concerned about Mina. He just shut his thoughts and back to focus on the performance.

The music show starts to flood with other idols and they're lucky when they arrived earlier than others. At least they have more time to rest after finish performing.

"Chaeng, can you company me to the toilet?", Mina asks in a weak voice. Chaeyoung nods and holds her unnie hands to walk together to the toilet

"Are you sick? Your hands are so cold!", Chaeyoung shocks when she feels Mina's hand are colder than hers. "And wait, you look pale!", the younger one starts to panick when she notices Mina's condition on their way to the toilet.

"I'm fine...", Mina replies. It's normal for an idol to be little bit tired like this, she thought.

But then Mina stumbles by herself and almost fall on the floor. Luckily, Chaeyoung is holding her hand tightly at the moment.

"Unnie... This is not funny. You can't even walk properly. Let's go to hospital", Chaeyoung scolds Minari who is in denial about her own condition. "Wait here, I will tell the members and manager oppa", then the younger one runs all the way to their waiting room.

Mina stands against the wall to support her weak body while waiting for Chaeyoung. She feels like she wants to vomit but she tries to hold it.

She only looks at the floor and try to calm herself. Trying to struggle with herself from collapsing.

"Are you alright?", she can feel a shadow of someone who is taller than her, asking. She look up and see Jimin with Jungkook facing her.

She nods and try to remain calm eventhough only God knows how she feel. Feeling concern and worry are all written on their faces.
