Dara was clenching her chest when Jiyong arrived at his studio. Her usual sunny disposition could not be felt.

“You alright?” Jiyong asked

“Yeah, I'm fine,”

“You don't look fine,” Jiyong put his hand on her forehead, “But no fever,” he crossed his arms, raising his eyebrows

“I... I just feel.. weird,”

“Weird?”

“Yeah?”

“Are you dizzy?”

“Nauseous, yeah,”

“You should have stayed home,”

“I was fine when I left home, but after going to Donghae's, I started to feel this,”

“Donghae's house? Why were you there?” Jiyong felt jealousy crept up.

He knew the two were working closely but not this close. She never even visited him at his home. She only went for Yerin.

Yerin ran to Jiyong's studio and saw Dara still clenching at her chest with a wrinkled look on her face.

“Dara,” Yerin walked to her, “What's wrong?” she rested her hands on her best friend's shoulders

“Just feeling a bit off. I think I should just head home for today,” answered Dara

“We'll send you home,” offered Jiyong

“No. You two have work to do. It's fine. I already messaged Bobby to pick me up,” refused Dara.

She didn't want to bother the two who finally had a free time to work on their joint project.

“Bobby?” Yerin tried to hide the irritation in her face

“Should've not said that,” Dara bit her inner lip

“You sure he can pick you up?” Jiyong knew how Bobby could be irresponsible

“He'll come,”

“H
