     The day ended and almost everyone is ready to head home. Except for Guanlin and Yeonha. They were still busy parcticing and rehearsing for the contest. Yeonha was exhausted and so was Guanlin, he felt even more tired by just seeing Yeonha looking drowsy.

" Um, Yeonha? Maybe we should call it a day. " Guanlin suggested earning a confused tired look from her. " W-what did you say? " she asked stuttering. It seems like her eyelids are about to give up but she was just resisting.

It was obvious, she was tired. They didn't do much today, all they did was practice their walks and gazes. They just repeated that until it looked perfect and natural.

Yeonha slowly pushed her hair back and closed her eyes as she let out a soft sigh. Guanlin noticed it and began to worry, " Yeonha, let's do it again tomorrow. " he told her but she shook her head and refused.

Yeonha wasn't thinking straight. Her head was feeling heavy and her vision was starting to blur. She felt confused as to why she was acting like this, usually she won't get tired easily. But today wasn't like any other day for her. It felt like she'll fall to the ground any moment now. " You look tired, we should stop. " Guanlin told her as he held her arm gently.

Yeonha couldn't refuse and just nodded. They left the room and Guanlin was staying close to her in case she'll fall or trip. When they went out, the rooms and halls were empty. Everyone was already out of the building, it was only the two of them left. They arrived back to their classroom and saw Jungri patiently waiting for them. She greeted them with a smile.

" Seems like you practiced a lot today. " she commented. She noticed Yeonha looking all tired and frail, she gave Guanlin a glance but he just gave her a shrug. She slowly stood up and approached Yeonha.

" Yeonha? are you okay? " and as soon as Jungri asked, Yeonha fell to the floor making the two gasp in surprise. They immediately rushed to her and tried to wake her up, " H-hey, Yeonha wake up! "

" S-should we bring her to the clinic? " Guanlin asked while looking at Jungri. She didn't think twice and nodded. Guanlin carefully carried Yeonha to the clinic and luckily, Mrs. Park was still there. Surprised, she quickly fixed a bed for Yeonha. " What happened to her? " Mrs. Park asked while checking Yeonha's temperature.

" S-she suddenly fainted. " Jungri answered as she looked at her friend with worry, " She and Guanlin was practicing the whole day. " She continued, Mrs. Park nodded and took some fever strips and a few medicine for Yeonha to take once she wakes up. " Should we call her parents? "

Jungri shook her head, " Her parents can't pick her up, they won't be out until ten. " she answered making Mrs. Park nod, " Alright then, I'll just tell the principal about this. 'Til then, stay here. "

Jungri thanked her as she left. Guanlin and Jungri let out a soft sigh as they looked at Yeonha sleeping. They looked at eachother and shrugged, as if understanding eachother with just a plain stare.  " Let's just wait until she wakes up. " she said and Guanlin nodded.

Thirty-minutes later, Yeonha woke up seeing Guanlin and Jungri dozing off beside her. A yawn escaped her mouth as she wandered her eyes around the room. Her yawn immediately stopped when she realized where they were and woke up the two. Jungri smiled and hugged her friend, " You're awake! "

" What happened? " she asked dumb-founded. She flinched as her head started to ache. Jungri handed her the medicine to help relieve the pain. " So, why am I here? " she asked.

" Y-you fainted. " Guanlin answered. She almost choked on her water and gave the two an apologetic look, " I-I— Goodness, I'm so sorry. " she said, the two shook their heads and smiled. " It's fine, " Jungri responded, " Atleast, you're feeling better now. "

All she could do was nod. She got out of bed and stretched slighty. Their bags was already there so they left.

She felt guilty. She can't help but feel guilty about making the two worry and leave school late. A sigh escaped her lips as they enter the bus. Turns out, Guanlin was in the same neighborhood as Yeonha, in fact he was just a few blocks away from her home. Because of this, Jungri felt relieved since she doesn't have to worry about her friend walking home alone.

" Thank you for walking home with me, Guanlin. " Yeonha thanked him and he replied by nodding and giving her a soft smile. " Also, I am so sorry for all the trouble. " She said.

" Y-you don't have to apologize, I-it's fine. " he stuttered, making yeonha smile. She gave him a few pat on the shoulder making the latter jump in surprise. " Thanks again, Guanlin. See you tomorrow. "

Guanlin smiled and nodded, " Y-take plenty of rest. See you t-tomorrow. " he said shyly. Yeonho nodded and let out a soft giggle and went in, leaving a flustered Guanlin outside her house.
