Jeonghan groaned as he felt a headache coming.

"Are you okay, umma?" Seungcheol caressed Jeonghan's cheek.

"I don't feel so good." Jeonghan sat up.

"Aigoo, can you even go later?"

"You know I have to. Our Carats will worry." Jeonghan stood up and weakly walked to the bathroom.

Seungcheol sighed as he went outside the room.

Joshua was at the sofa so Seungcheol sat next to him.

"What's with the face?" Joshua chuckled.

"Jeonghan's sick. Can we at least leave him home?"

"He's sick? He should stay home then."

"I don't want to!"

Joshua and Seungcheol looked behind them and saw Jeonghan glaring.

"Y-Yah, you're going to worry the Carats more if they saw you performing weakly."

"The Carats need me! And besides, I can't just stay here!" Jeonghan pouted as he sit in the middle.

"You're staying, Jeonghan. And that's final." 

"You're not the boss of me, Hong." Jeonghan glared at Joshua but then turned his head towards Seungcheol.

Uh oh.

"Appa, you'll let me go, right?" Jeonghan pleaded with cute eyes.

Seungcheol saw Joshua shooking his head at the back and sigh.

"We both know you can't, Jeonghan." Seungcheol avoided Jeonghan's eyes.

"Please?"

Seungcheol sighed.

Joshua groaned as he knows what's coming next.

"Fine but-"

"Thanks, Coups!" Jeonghan kissed Seungcheol's cheek as he went to the room.

"You're unbelievable, seriously." Joshua whined.

"Sorry." Seungcheol scratched his nape.

Joshua chuckled as he stood up to get ready to leave.

At they were about to enter the van, Seungcheol held Dino's arm.

"Hyung, why?"

"Your Jeonghan hyung is tired. While I'm at the other van, keep a close eye on him, please?"

"Of course, hyung." Dino smiled as he entered the van and sat next to the sleeping Jeonghan.

Seungcheol bit his lip as he entered the other van.

Seventeen were at the backstage when Jeonghan's headache strikes again.

"Aish, stop hurting for awhile..." Jeonghan mumbled as he held onto his head.

"Jeonghan..." Seungcheol removed Jeonghan's hands from his head.

"You can always back out. I don't want you out there being like this." Seungcheol cupped Jeonghan's cheeks.

"I can do it, Coups." Jeonghan smiled weakly.

"Don't give me that smile. I know you're in pain."

"I told you I'm fine." Jeonghan glared.

Everyone quietly looked at them worringly.

"Stop being so stubborn and listen to me." Seungcheol sighed as he removed his hands from Jeonghan.

"You don't know how it feels to nt perform just because of selfish reasons, Seungcheol."

"It's not a selfish reason!"

"I don't want to deal with you right now. You're far worse than the headache I'm feeling." Jeonghan scoffed as he walked away.

Seungcheol's hands curled into a fist.

"Hyung..." Hoshi held Seungcheol's fists.

"Leave me alone for awhile." Seungcheol mumbled as he sat down to get his face ready.

Hoshi nodded as he stepped away.

Soon, they entered the stage and Jeonghan felt like throwing up.

Why did their choreography make him sweat buckets?

Jeonghan felt dizzy and almost fell down when an arm was placed around his waist.

Jeonghan expected it to be Seungcheol but saw Vernon looking at him worringly instead.

Jeonghan was then happy wh
