Twelve | The Rest

The hospital waiting area outside of Mark's room was very crowded due to NCT. We couldn't wait in the normal waiting room because we would attract a crowd since we were idols.

NCT's manager arranged for us to be waiting outside of his room instead so that we wouldn't be spotted.

Apparently SM didn't want the public to know Mark fainted after the concert.

"I'm assuming you are all here for Mark." A doctor said as she walked out the room. She looked at the chart before glancing back up.

"He's fine right now. I gave him an IV for fluids. He fainted due to extreme exhaustion and overworking his body." She said. She read something on the chart before frowning and shaking her head.

"You guys are idols? I suggest you take it easy before you end up like Mark or worse." She scribbled something before handing it to the manager.

"He's to have one week of no excessive physical work such as dancing. He needs eight hours of sleep everyday and plenty of fluids. Three meals a day. All of the things that a normal person should be doing." She clicked her pen before putting in the pocket of her white lab coat.

The manager seemed baffled at the request. "But he's NCT's main--"

"More and more idols come into the hospital. Idols these days don't seem to keep their health in good shape." She continued despite the manager's reaction.

"I'll be checking up with the company to make sure they follow through." She shook her head with disapproval before telling us we could go in to visit. She walked in the next room for her next patient.

The manager immediately got on the phone. "Yes, this is NCT's manager. The doctor's request is not good. He--" he said as he walked out to talk to the company.

"Let's all go in then." Johnny said as everyone made their way through the door.

Jeno had his arm around my shoulder as he guided me in. If he hadn't done so my feet probably would've stuck to the floor and I wouldn't have the energy to walk in myself.

The room itself was pretty spacious for one patient. It only had a hospital bed and bedside table. There were a few sofa chairs for guests.

Everyone had stood huddled around Mark instead of taking a seat. Jeno and I were near the back. Since there were so many people, Mark couldn't see us.

"My friend!" Lucas shouted as he walked in. Mark was clapping as he laughed at the simple words Lucas spoke.

"You guys didn't all have to come." Mark said. He was dressed in a hospital gown. His arm was connected to the IV drip.
