Leo finally realized the presence of the other guys, he slowly put N back on his pillow, he felt the need of somebody taking over the situation, he had to think straight and lead his friends and answer their questions. “N is sick, very sick” he said with a trembling voice. The others were just watching, too shocked to do anything. Only Ken got closer to feel N’s forehead, he gasped for air once he felt the heat coming from the elder’s body “I’ll go get some cold water and a towel”. Ken hurried out leaving the others behind him “DON’T JUST STAND THERE” yelled Leo to bring them out of their drowsiness “Ravi-ah go call the doctor, Hongbin-ah get me whatever medicine you can find and can help, Hyuk-ah help Ken and get some clean clothes and an extra blanket” He ordered.

Slowly but finally they all started moving, Ravi was on the phone with the doctor, Hongbin was looking around the medicine cabinet gathering all what it could help getting the fever down, Hyuk first went to help Ken but he already found him hurrying his way back to the room with the water so he passed him and went to get a blanket. Ken put the water down on the night table, after he had moved everything which was on top of it, Leo was still trying to wake HakYeon up but failure was his only friend. Soon enough Ravi came back “The doctor said that he’ll be here in 30minutes regarding the bad weather outside” Leo looked at him a little relieved “Good” he said. His eyes were fixed on N’s face, pale as a paper, eyes totally shut and hot but slow breaths. Leo never saw his friend this weak before, it hurts him seeing him like this. After all what he have done to be get his team to such a position, he’s paying the price by himself. Hyuk and Hongbin came back almost at the same time; Hyuk put the blanket down near Ken and rushed to the closet in order to get some clan clothes. Hongbin placed the meds he found on the night table near the water bowl and took a look at the leader’s face while Leo tried to push back the hair of his face. Leo and Ken, together, they took N’s shirt off and tried to whip the sweat off his body.

Leo let N’s head drop in front to land on his shoulder while Ken, with the wet towel, would clean his back, arms and neck until he reached his chest and stomach. Hyuk was waiting with the clean shirt he got until they finished and then he quickly wrapped N’s now shivering body into a warm and clean shirt.

Hongbin with Ravi’s help got the medicines ready. Leo put N’s head back on his shoulder again just to pull his head up a bit so they can make him swallow the liquid medicine. Ken got the medicine close to N’s lips and slowly poured it inside of his mouth, slowly enough to make sure that he won’t reject it or go in the wrong direction. When it was all over, Leo put N’s head back on the pillow and Hyuk wrapped his body with the blanket that he recently brought.

They all got closer to the bed where their leader was lying, they all started to call for him in an attempt to wake him but it was useless. “HakYeon-ah?” … “Hyung?” … “Can you hear us?” but he never answered

“I don’t get it” said Hongbin

“What is it that you don’t get it? He has been killing himself for us” answered Ken

“We have to wait for the doctor there is not much we can do” Ravi joined them

While the others were discussing the reasons behind their Hyung’s current condition, Hyuk was trying to clean up a little around them. He took away the wet and sweaty clothes which were scattered on the ground, and he cut his way through to the other side of the room to get the old blanket away from his way and when he picked it up few papers fell off. Obviously they were lying with N as he was asleep. He picked them up and tried to read what was written on them. His eyes widened when he realized that they were threatening letters and full of anti feelings. “HYUNG!” he yelled, his eyes reaching N on the bed. Ken stood up from where he was sitting ant grabbed the papers from Hyuk’s hands “Show me what is that?” Ken was shocked and so was everyone

Hongbin: “Our Starlight?”  

Leo: “These are definitely NOT our Starlight”

Ken: “Of corse NOT Hongbin-ah, they are NOT”

Hyuk: “But they are among the fan mail … I don’t get it”

Everyone was confused, words like these must have hurt N a lot especially from Starlights? But of corse not, they were not, that’s what they strongly believed.

Silence took over the room, only N’s breaths were heard, his chest going up and down in slow motion, Ken was the only one moving as he kept changing the wet cold towel on N’s forehead. It was devastating not being able to do anything for him. Leo was still sitting on the edge of the bed, he didn’t move at all eyes fixed on his friend’s face. Ravi found his way up on Leo’s bed watching from a small distance. Hyuk, on the floor, his back to Leo’s bed, just under Ravi’s head, he kept staring in the space waiting for something to happen, and Hongbin set closer to Ken watching him as his hand went up and down to reach the water bowl. “Ding-Dong-Ding-Dong” the silence was broken with the sound of the boor bell. Hyuk was finally back to reality, he immediately stood up “I’ll get it” it must be the doctor, it has to be.
