==FEW DAYS LATER==

These days, Y/N juggled between being a manager and being a coach.
Today, it was Momo's turn to train.

"Okay, Momo. You got your suit?"

"Yup! It's really warm in here." Momo replies with a thumbs up. She was wearing a friction proof suit so that her skin doesn't burn up mid run. 

"When I blow the whistle, run as fast as you can at the pile of pillows. Don't worry, you won't get hurt. The suit will make a safety bubble if it takes a fatal blow, keeping you safe. If anything goes wrong, Jihyo will be on standby. Got it?"

Momo replies with another thumbs up. She got into a running stance and waited for Y/N's signal.

3...2...1...Go!

WHOOSH!  POOF!

"Are you okay?"

Momo got up and gave two thumbs up. She jumped in joy but in small amounts because of how heavy the suit was.

"Hmph. Cute." Y/N said to himself. "Alright! Come back! And control your speed when you slow down!"

"Arraseo, Y/N-kun." She bolted back the way she came, and put down a foot to slow down.

However, her leg couldn't handle the momentum produced by running at 200kmph. It cracked and Momo was sent tumbling to the ground with tremendous force. The bubble activated but the damage was done. She screamed in agony.

"MOMO!" Y/N and Jihyo ran to her aid immediately after witnessing the accident.

"Arrgghh...I-I can't move, Y/N-kun..."

Y/N quickly got her out of the suit and laid her down on the floor. Jihyo scanned Momo's leg. It was fractured badly. But to her surprise, the bones were sealing themselves back together at an abnormally fast rate!

Jihyo reported the damage and Momo became worried. Would she be limp for the rest of her life? This would certainly affect her career. ONCE would definitely notice her lacking at dancing and criticize her again. Dispatch will get on the story, then she'll be kicked from TWICE by JYP!

She began to vibrate uncontrollably again. Jihyo quickly got to her mind and put her to sleep before it got out of hand.

"Why do you seem so calm about this?" Jihyo confronted Y/N.

"Well, this just proves that not only can she move fast, she can heal fast too! I don't see why there's a problem."

"There is one! When I was scanning Momo, there was a huge lump of something next to the breast. What could that be?"

"It could be the breast itself? Why? Did you just admit that Momo has big boobs?"

"Although the truth, that's not the point! There's something abnormal next to her chest. Could it be..... Cancer?"

"Don't be stupid, Jihyo. She is in great health!"

"But there seriously is something there! Go scan her yourself!"

"Alright fine." Y/N took out his scanner and looked around. Indeed, there was a small lump of cells clustered together, growing and decaying rapidly.

Y/N took a few steps back in shock. The chemical making Momo run was Huge bakkae Mothane meaning "Muscle builder" in Acacian.  A drug made for runners and athletes to build muscles,  but the rumour was that it gave those athletes cancer instead. Y/N knew about the rumours but it was never confirmed, until now.

"What should we do? Tell her?" Jihyo asked.

As their manager, this hit hard for Y/N. Mainly because he had become so attached to these girls that he needed to save them no matter what. He can't lose someone he cares about so much. Not again.

Taking a breath, he scanned Momo again, making sure to not miss anything. It was there when he noticed something. The cancer was malignant, yet it was acting like a benign.

(A/N  just a clarification for those who don't know, TL:DR malignant cancer is the type of cancer that spreads rapidly throughout the body whereas benign means that the cancer is dormant and takes it time to grow. Both are deadly, but malignant is deadlier.)

Y/N scanned Momo again with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. It was true! Momo's speed healing apparently is holding the cancer back!

Y/N thought for a while. It all made sense now. It's not the chemical that caused the cancer, but the effect on the person taking it! The speed healing that came with Momo's superspeed overloaded and created the cancer.

The cancer kills the cells at the same rate as the speed healing regrows them. Leaving enough healing factor to heal any other outside wounds.

This ties in with that comic Y/N was reading earlier, Deadpool. Deadpool has a cancer that stopped him from overgrowing his cells. When the shape shifters or "Skrulls" tried to copy his power, they died because they didn't copy his cancer and the healing overloaded!

Y/N relayed everything to Jihyo. She was left stunned at the range of knowledge Y/N had. He was a University graduate after all.

"In other words, this is good cancer. It stops her from dying. Nothing to worry about." Y/N assured.

"Okay, but if anything happens, You will have nightmares for years. I'll make sure of it." Jihyo threatened.

"I don't know, can you make something so scary that even i will flinch?" Y/N challenged with a smug face and closed his eyes.

Jihyo tried and projected the scariest thing she could think of into Y/N's mind. In the nightmare, Y/N was extremely obese and being teased by everyone in school. He tried, and tried but could never lose weight. No bullies that gave him physical harm, but emotional harm instead. All because he couldn't have the determination to lose 10 pounds. He would go home every day, broken and feeling worthless, and cry himself to sleep. His crush, rejected him through the worst way possible, by telling her boyfriend and his goons to knock him out, strip him and throw him in the dumpster. He walked home that day naked, embarrassed, and depressed. Going home, his brother teased him, his mother scolded him, and his father abused him. The next day, rinse and repeat.

"That's it?" 

"Wait, wasn't that a really bad nightmare you had? I literally had to dig through your memories to find that." 

"You said something that scares me. I lived through that moment, Jihyo. That's why it became a memory. It doesn't scare me anymore. Never will again." Y/N replied, unfazed.

Jihyo had exhausted her power at this point. "I'm gonna go up and lie down. Bring Momo up once she's healed."

"Alright, sleep tight!" Y/N said cheerfully.

"I'm already awake. You want me to go back to sleep?" Momo asked whizzing around Y/N in short bursts. 

Y/N jumped a bit. "Come on, Momo. We need to talk."
