"Now, tell me, who do you want to shut up?" Jihyo questions as I her shirt. "They won't shut up. They just keep going. The voices in my head won't shut up."

Present:

Jihyo's POV

I sit there, holding her close as I wait for her answer. After hearing her answer, I widen my eyes. I hold back a gasp as I run my fingers through her hair.

"Are they quiet now Babygirl?" I ask, whispering in her ear. She nodded a little and I smile softly, reassuring me slightly. I kiss the top of her head softly.

Mina lets out another shaky breath and I smile again. "Do you have medicine?" I question her softly and she nods a little. "Come on. Let's get up and I'll tell Momo to get your medicine okay?" I ask and she nods.

I get up ad she whimpers, holding my legs. I smile and crouch down, picking her up. I stand back up and wrap her arms around her neck, her legs wrapping around my waist.

I walk out of the bathroom and walk to the living room. Some of the girls were already in the living as I walked in. Nayeon squealed and it made Mina jump.

I stroke her hair and coo in her ear. "Hey, it's ok. I'm right here." I whisper in her ear, feeling her calm down. I bounce her a little as I walk over to the couch.

Nayeon happily obliged with scooting over, trying to contain her squeals. I sit down and let Mina get comfortable, feeling her moving in my lap.

She got to the point where she was straddling me but it seemed it was the most comfortable position and I wasn't complaining. I looked up to see Momo and Jeongyeon walk in. They both looked up at me with one of their brows raised.

I just smile at them and shrug slightly, causing Mina to whine slightly since I moved her head. "Sorry babygirl." I whisper in her ear as she snuggles into me.

"Hey, Momo, can you go and grab her meds. She hasn't taken them and she's having some trouble." I ask and Momo nods with a smile. Mina moves a little in my lap and I held her close.

I bounce her a little by using my leg while rubbing her back gently. She was very light and that concerned me. She seemed like she didn't eat at all.

Momo soon came back and handed me two pill bottles. I lean back and slowly lift Mina's head up, caressing her left cheek. She let out a soft whimper when I lifted her head.

"Which one?" I ask quietly and she pointed at the one on the right. I smile and take two of the pills out, grabbing the glass of water Momo went and made after handing me the pill bottles.

I go to give Mina the pills when I see her grip her head and whimper. Nayeon heard the whimper causing her to look at Mina.

"Hey, what's wrong hun?" I asked her quietly and she just whimpered again. I hear Momo sigh and look up at her, as well as the other girls.

She walks up to me and moved Mina's hair out of her face. "Lean your head back." Momo said softly but Mina just whimpered again.

"Mina, you have to take the medicine." Momo tried to push but Mina wasn't buying it. I bring Mina's head to me slowly. "You have to do it. Do it and it'll make you feel better." I whisper in her ear.

Mina whimpered but did as I said, leaning her head back. Momo smiled as Mina opened her mouth. She gave Mina the pill and gave her the water after she swallowed the pills.

Mina drank the water before laying her head back on my shoulder. "Such a good girl." I whisper in her ear, hearing Mina let a shaky breath again. I notice it and whisper small praises in her ear.

She seemed to have calmed down know as I smiled. "I swear she's going to kill me." Nayeon said with a small squeal. I chuckle a little while rubbing Mina's back.

I start to bounce Mina again while talking to the other girls. After a while, the doorbell rings and Mina jumps, lifting her head quickly and looking around frantically.

"Hey, calm down." I whisper, wrapping my arms around her waist so she doesn't fall. I slip one of my hands under her shirt, rubbing her back. Mina sighed in satisfaction and laid her head back on my shoulder.

"I'll get it." Jeong said with a small smile before getting up and walking to the door. I hear the door open as I hum to Mina softly.

Jeongyeon came back with Taeyeon and Mina buried her face in my neck. I smile at her action, starting to bounce her again with my leg.

"Hey, Taeyeon!" Sana said as she finally arrived in the living room. I believe Chaeyoung had to leave today as well as Tzuyu and Dahyun.

"Hey, Sana. Hello to you two as well." Taeyeon said before looking over to us. "And who would be this cutie." She said before walking up to me, sitting next to me with a smile.

Mina was shy so she hid her face deeper in my neck. "Oh, this is Mina. She just transferred to our university." I explain and she nods a little.

"I'm guessing Mina is a shy one isn't she?" Taeyeon asks and I chuckle a little, nodding. "Yes, she is. A very shy one. She had an incident with Changmin recently and I guess she still may be a bit cautious around new people." I answer as I look at Tae.

"Is that so? What did Changmin do? I didn't go to classes recently because Tiffany said, and I quote, 'The students will be fine without their teacher for 2 days.' I can't do anything because I can't say no to her." Taeyeon said with a small chuckle.

"That's very true." I say in agreement as Mina slowly looked over at Taeyeon. Tae smiled at her and Mina gripped my shirt tightly, keeping her head on my shoulder while looking at Taeyeon.

Mina's eyes widen as Tae just smiled. "Hey Mina sweetie, how have you been?"
