Pretty Boy

9

After Ten helped me with my routine and left I kept practicing. It is a known fact in the idol world that if you give yourself no breaks you will improve the quickest. One break and you will be passed up by someone younger, prettier, or more talented. I was not planning on falling behind therefore I let myself have no breaks.

I had another hour until lunch then I would work on a different song for vocals. I was thinking Faded by Alan Walker in the way this other idol, Siyeon from Dreamcatcher, did it.

My body begged me to stop dancing, but I ignored it. I had to keep practicing and I did until I felt a pull in my back while doing my floor routine. I screamed as my back started to burn as if I had laid down on a fire. Quickly, I clamped my mouth shut and with tears forming in my eyes I pulled myself to my bag. I laid flat on my chest on the floor next to it and grabbed some Biofreeze, but before I could get it on my back I passed out from pain.

In my rest, I was trapped in the darkness looking for an exit, but I couldn't find one.

"Y/N!!!!" I heard someone yell. The was a sharp ringing as I started to come to. I wasn't sure what was happening around me. All I knew was my back ached and I was dizzy. I tried to lift myself up only to collapse again. Before my head could hit the ground a hand caught it. The person picked me up and carried me somewhere. Every light was so bright, so blinding.

There was talking around me, but I couldn't decipher it. Suddenly everything got colder and there was a breeze blowing my hair. I heard a siren and more people talking around me as I was placed down on something soft. Even though the thing I was laying on held me stable there was still movement under me.

My time unconscious faded away again. I fell back into the black abyss until there were bright lights and a constant beeping. I suppressed my cries as I sat up.

To my surprise, there were two people wearing dust masks next to me. My brother was passed out on my legs on my right side. Taeyong was holding my hand while resting his head on the bed, hair all over his face,  on my left.

I attempted to brush his hair out of his face only to wake him. He sat up, let go of my hand and rubbed his eyes, "Oh, you're up."

My brother heard his friend and woke up. "Yah, y/n! Do you know how worried I was."

I just shook my head at him, "You are overreacting. This isn't the first time I've strained my back. Usually, I just plop on some Biofreeze or tiger balm and call it a day."

"You were passed out on the floor. We didn't know what was going on with you," Taeyong burst out.

"Then let me explain what happened. Every once in a while I get really bad pains in my back. It feels like I strained it but it is similar to cramps. Overall the pains in my back aren't from damage. If I put on Biofreeze or tiger balm I am fine after some rest. For the most part I don't even have to rest a full 3 hours before I can get back at it."

"You know your body very well," I saw a female doctor in the doorway. She was young and gave me a sweet smile. "However, as a doctor, I would prefer for you not to push yourself too much when these pains come on. You passed out this time probably because you did not listen to your body when it told you to take a break."

"You assume correctly. I'll make sure to listen to my body next time. Thank you." She left and I looked at the boys still sitting next to me, "I have a question, why are there two of you here?"

"Taeyong found you on the floor and I followed him to make sure you got here safely. Plus, it is easier for SM to get us all out of here at once then for one of us to leave early and possibly draw attention."

"I'll notify SM you are up and get you discharged," Taeyong walked out of the room.

"He was really worried about you," I looked at my brother confused. Why would Taeyong be worried about me? I barely just met him.

"Why?"

"Probably because even though you just met he feels as if he already knows you. I mean I have been bragging about how pretty, kind, and smart my little sister is to my members for a while now."

I looked at my hands feeling guilty.

"What's the look on your face Noona?"

"I didn't even think to inform my friends at JYP you existed until my last day." Jaehyun thought for a second then hugged me. I hugged him back, "I'm sorry, but I really did miss you Oppa."

"I missed you too Noona. Now let's get back to the dorms so you can rest. Evaluations are coming soon."
