"i told you not to overdo it," chenle sighed as he wrapped your knee with athletic bandaging.

"sorry," you apologized. "i thought i could push a bit more," you said and he shook his his head.

"you were already limping by the third mile. you really shouldn't have participated in that race," he said and finished wrapping your knee. "i knew i should've made you stay home."

"i got to raise some money, so i guess that's the good part," you mentioned and chenle slightly smiled.

"i guess so," he responded and stood up. he kissed your forehead, "just don't make me scared again. you push yourself way too much."

you laughed, "you know how i am. once i have a goal, i'm going to finish it one way or another."

"well, not this goal," he responded and held his hands out. you took them and stood up, putting your weight onto one side. "maybe you should stay home for the night. i mean, all i have is practice with the guys, you really don't need to come."

"i can just rest it there," you said but he rolled his eyes at you, "come on, you'll probably be there for like five hours anyways so i'll get five hours of rest."

he chuckled before kissing your hair, "fine, let's go." he said and helped you leave the apartment. you managed to walk a few blocks before jumping onto chenle's back so he could walk the rest of the way for you.

you two reached sm and he entered the building. he walked to the elevators and both of you got onto an elevator.

"you can put me down now," you said to chenle.

"you sure?" he asked.

"yea," you said and he helped you down. he grabbed your hand and the doors opened. you guys walked to the practice room and saw mark and haechan in the room.

"hey, chenle, y/n," haechan spoke.

"how was the race?" mark asked.

"she couldn't finished it," chenle mentioned and helped you sit down on one of the couches.

"yea, my knee couldn't handle it," you added and swung both legs onto the couch. chenle took his hoodie off and placed it underneath your hurt knee.

"you're the type to crawl past the finish line, aren't you?" haechan asked. you laughed and nodded your head.

the door opened again, "hey guys," jeno walked in with jisung, jaemin, and renjun.

"yo," mark threw his hand in the air. "you guys warm? i wanna get out of here."

"yea, we just got out of class," renjun mentioned.

the dreamies started rehearsing their songs while you watched them from the back of the room. chenle would steal kisses from you when he could while he practiced, which made you smile each and every time.

their rehearsal went by slowly since you couldn't jump around and dance with them. you loved to attempt their dances even if you had two left feet when it came to dancing, and chenle loved the fact that you tried your best to dance their choreography. but now, you were stuck on the couch and started getting sleepy, even with the blaring music playing from the speakers.

you laid down on the couch and used chenle's hoodie as your pillow. you crossed your arms and closed your eyes with the guys dancing and singing beside you.

a few hours had passed and the practice finally ended. most of the guys immediately left while a few slowly left the room. chenle had walked over and sat down on the floor next to you.

"babe, wake up," he said to you and reached out to hold your hand. your small fingers unconsciously laced with his and chenle smiled. "you're too cute," he said and kissed the back of your hand. he moved to sit on the couch and let you nap some more while still holding your hand.
