It was a normal day at the dorm and by normal it means lonely and quiet. Ken and Hongbin are spending their time with their musical and actor friends while Ravi is taking his 'son' for a walk as a compensation for leaving him during his VIXX's LR promotion. 

N is leaving the kitchen with a bowl of fruit salad, which Hongbin made for him knowing that he's dieting, when he sees Hyuk standing in front of the bathroom door, looking very anxious. 

"What are you doing there? "He asks and Hyuk turn to look at him with an uncomfortable expression over his face. 

"I need to use the bathroom. "Hyuk says, gritting his teeth. 

"Then why don't you? "N wonders. 

"Taekwoon-hyung is in there! I've been waiting for ages yet he still haven't come out! "Hyuk complains as he once again knocks on the bathroom door but there's no response from the inside. 

With a frown, N puts down his bowl of fruit and knocks on the door as well. "Maybe he took a bath and fall asleep. "He mutters worriedly. "Taekwoon?! Are you okay in there?! "He half screams before putting his ear on the door to listen to any response but there seems to be none. "Taekwoon, answer me! This isn't funny! "He demands, knocking harder and is grateful when he hears a weak groan from inside. 

"Are you alright, hyung? "Hyuk, also having heard the groan, interrupts. He has been standing there for a little under half an hour yet it never cross his mind that something bad might be happening in there and he's more than thankful for his quick thinking leader. 

"Can you unlock the door for me? "N asks, not waiting for the answer for Hyuk's question because just by the sound of Leo's voice, he knows the main vocalist isn't alright. 

It is quiet for a while but then they hears shuffling from inside the bathroom and then the sound of the door being unlocked. As soon as the door is unlocked, N wastes no time in barging into the bathroom, where he finds Leo on the floor, curled into himself with his arms wrapped around his stomach. 

"Whats wrong? "He asks, peering at Leo's face which is filled with sweats and is contorted in pain.

"Hurts... "Leo croaks out, clenching his own stomach, not even bothering to look up at N and Hyuk. 

"Hurts? "N echoes, kneeling down in front of Leo to take a closer look. "Your stomach? "He asks and Leo nods curtly, currently in too much pain to even talk properly. 

N extends a hand and brushes off the strands of hair sticking to Leo's sweaty forehead. "Can you get up and walk out with me? Then I'll see what I can do for you. "He says, now offering Leo his hand to help him stand up but Leo shakes his head, not accepting the hand. 

"Can't ... "He sobs before curling even tighter into himself. 

"You can't? Does it hurt that bad? "N questions worriedly, and before Leo could even answer, Hyuk drops to the floor, lowering himself. 

"I'll take Taekwoon-hyung out. "He offers, exposing his back to N so that the leader can hoist Leo onto his back. 

in a heavy breath, N slowly and very carefully, picks Leo up and drapes him over Hyuk's broad back, which still earn him pained whimpers from Leo eventhough he's being as gentle as he could. 

As soon as Leo is secured on his back, Hyuk quickly carry him in a piggyback all the way to their living room where N, once again, helps Leo off of Hyuk's back and laid him on the couch, in which he immediately curls into himself once more, now sweating even more profusely and face getting even paler. 

"Is it your gastric? "N dares himself to ask, knowing that his life long friend has a very sensitive stomach thanks to being a coffee addict. "Did you eat this morning? When was the last time you eat? "He demands, lightly caressing Leo's cheeks when a trail of tears appears. 

"Not... gastric.... "Leo says, groaning when a wave of pain crashes over him once more and makes him grip tightly onto N's arm for support. 

Leo's firm grip hurts, especially when his nails digs into the skin but N doesn't push him away. "It's not gastric... "he mumbles to himself. "Lets get you to the hospital? "He suggests finally, not sure if Leo would agree but when the main vocalist nod desperately, body now trembling even greater, N knows its bad. 

"I guess you can't perform for our last stage tomorrow then? "Ravi asks when he finally gets to meet Leo, who's now in a half awake state thanks to the pain medication he's on and is currently lying down on the too white hospital bed, an IV drip hooked to his arm. 

Ravi has rushed to the hospital as soon as he received the call from N saying that his duo partner is taken there and eventhough he knows it's very insensitive of him to ask about their work when Leo's in such condition, he needs to ask because if Leo really can't perform, then there's a lot of people to notify and things that need to be rescheduled. 

Leo merely blinks at first . "I can."he says finally. "I can perform... tomorrow. "He assures, feeling guilty of the worry etched over Ravi's feature. 

Ravi shakes his head. "No, hyung. I don't think you can. "He denies. "It's okay, you just stay here and focus on recovering first. I'll deal with all the other things. I'm sure we can postpone the stage and the fan sign. The fans would understand so it's okay. "He says, knowing that Leo's health is more important than any stage and he sure doesn't want any harm to come upon him. 

"I can, Wonshik . "Leo says stubbornly. "I promised. I can't break my promise. "He reasons. 

"They wouldn't want to see you perform in pain, hyung. It's best if you just recover first. "Ravi coax but Leo decides on being stubborn. 

"No, Wonshik. You have to let me perform. "Leo pleads, grabbing onto Ravi's hand and squeezing it. He may the appointed 'leader' of VIXX LR but the one who holds the most authority between the two of them is actually Ravi so he feels like he needs his permission. 

Ravi stares at the pale hand squeezing his and then at the pale face, seemingly very troubled. But then he looks up and set his eyes towards N who's just silently watching them from the other side of the room where he has been standing at since the beginning. "Hyung, help me talk some sense into him. "He says. "He can't perform tomorrow in this condition. I don't want him to get worse, no one wants that. "He reasons, talking about Leo as if he isn't there when in fact, the person he's talking about is listening closely to his every words. 

N stares at Ravi, then at Leo before sighing. "I don't really have any right to force Taekwoon to do or to not do anything because this is about VIXX LR and I don't really take charge in your subunit. "He says matter of factly. 

"But you're our real leader! "Ravi reminds panickedly and N quickly nods to calm him down. 

"I know that. "He assures before turning to Leo once again . "Taekwoon, just be good and stay here, okay? "He coax but Leo really is having none of it. 

"I don't want to. "He refuse stubbornly. "I want to perform, I need to keep my promise. "He says. "Wasnt it you who taught us that promises must be kept in no matter what circumstances? "He retaliates. 

N sighs. "I did tell you that. But your health is more important right now. Besides--"

"I don't think you have the right to say that health is more important, Hakyeon. "Leo says and N blinks in confusion, not quite understanding it. "Years ago, you performed with a back pain and it wasn't just one stage. "He explains and N huffs at that. 

"That's different, Taekwoon. "He says but Leo shakes his head. 

"No, it's not. That time you performed while in pain and tomorrow, so will I. The only difference is you were in much more pain than I am. "Leo states. 

N opens his mouth to retaliate but Leo beats him to it. 

"Have faith in me. "

Sighing, N gives up. "Let him perform. "He tells Ravi, who could only nod in defeat. 

"Should I leave you two alone to discuss your future schedule? "N asks after a while, realising that the LR duo probably have a lot to discuss. 

"No. "Both Ravi and Leo say at the same time, which earn him a look of curiosity from N. 

"I... Taekwoon-hyung needs you more than me. "Ravi points out. It's a fact that they all know; Leo gets sick the most among them and the only person who can get him to feel better immediately is N and only N. But then again, they all need N when they're sick. Their leader just seem to have a healing power. 

Leo shyly nod at that and N couldn't help but to smile. 

"Alright. I'll stay with you. "

"You always does. "
