This sucks. I have too many meetings to attend and film production for the reboot of One Shot starts soon! I have no time to be sick. All the guys are currently crowded around my bed. Kihyun takes the thermometer from me to read my temperature.

"Well," he starts, "You certainly have a fever."

Ugghhhh. This is just great. "Well that's just great." I say. "Why now of all times. I can't lay here. I have things to do." I try to sit up but all the guys make a big fuss and force me down.

"Look," Hyungwon starts, "we already called Manager-nim and let him know about the situation so your schedule for the next couple days is taken care of."

"Right." Minhyuk adds, "All you need to do is rest. Wonho even got permission to stay here with you today and help take care of you."

As if on cue, Wonho walks into the room with a cup of medicine tea.
"This is all I could find unfortunately." he said.
I told him it was plenty. The rest of the boys had to leave for their schedule so me and Wonho said our goodbyes. After I sipped my medicine tea, Wonho took the cup and then left me on my own so I could rest some.
==================

I had a really weird dream. For some reason I was riding a pink elephant over a rainbow and the boys were all dressed up as leprechauns waiting for me on the other side. When I got there, they all called me Princess and presented themselves as my Princes. It was peaceful for a while, then they started arguing over who would marry me and become king and then told me to choose. The pressure was so immense, I didn't want to pick between them. I was being forced to choose but then at the moment when I finally revealed a name, I woke up.

I stared at the ceiling for a minute to gather my thoughts. What a weird dream. I looked at my phone to check the time and it was 2 in the afternoon. I had slept for 7 hours straight. I took my temperature again and was relieved to see that my fever broke. I don't know what the heck was in that tea but it must've turned my white blood cells into One Punch cells or sumthin cause I feel way better than in the morning. I'm not to 100% quite yet, but I can say I am starving. Rather than rely on Wonho, I just decided to get up and make myself a bowl of ramyeon. I opened my door just a crack and peeked out only to see Wonho sleeping on the floor right outside of it. He was sitting with his legs folded and his arms crossed. Poor Wonho. He probably didn't want to go too far in case I called. He's such a sweetheart. I turned to go back into my room and came out with an extra blanket and pillow so he wouldn't get cold and would be at least a bit more comfortable. Unfortunately, I have nowhere near the amount of strength needed to carry him to his bed. I just tip toed my way past and continued my journey to the kitchen.

So far, so good. I successfully made my meal without waking Wonho. I was heading back to my room when all of a sudden I see something move out of the corner of my eye. Now usually, I will wear contacts when going out, but when I'm in the dorm I wear my actual glasses a lot. I forgot them on my nightstand before coming out, so all I see rn is a big fuzzy spot. I lean in closer to get a look, and when I do, I see a big brown spider the size of a quarter come into view. I SCREAMED. I mean I screamed like I was being chased by a serial killer. I have an extreme bug phobia.

Well of course, this most definitely woke up Wonho. He got up so fast. He was confused but he still bossed up ready to fight any and everything all at once. Once he saw me, he calmed a bit, and came over to help me off the floor. I had spilled my ramen on myself and the floor, which was super hot by the way, and I had tear marks left on my face. He looked so concerned.

"Taliah," he started, "What's wrong? Why'd you scream? Why are you crying? Is it because you spilled your food on you?" I just shook my head.
"T-t-there was a s-spider on the wall." I squeaked out.
"...A what?" He repeated.
"A spider!" I said more clear this time, but more whiny than anything.
