Sick TurtleThere was nothing unordinary happening in the morning when I wake up other than a slight pain in my head. Kihyun was nagging at me as he shaking my shoulder. I whined, held up my hand a little asking him to stop.
"I'm up. I'm up, Hyung," I said, tried to sit up.
My headache wasn't decreasing at all and I felt very tired. I thought it was because we've practiced dancing until very late last night. I believed everyone feels about the same. So, it was unordinary. It was normal.
"Hurry up, Hyungwon-ah. Take a shower and eat your breakfast. Otherwise, we're going to be late," said Kihyun.
"Okay, Hyung," I mumbled, jumped down from my bunk with my eyes half-opened. I lose my balance when my feet touched the ground. I suddenly felt dizzy. I felt like my bedroom was tilting to one side and I swayed. Kihyun quickly caught my arm, helped me regain my balance. He looked at me with worry in his eyes.
"Hey, be careful," he said softly. "We can't afford someone get hurt in this busy time. Are you feeling okay? You look so pale, Hyungwon-ah."
When I felt a bit better, I looked at him. Even though I wanted to tell him the truth so I'll have permission to stay and sleep all day, I couldn't push aside the fact that we were busy with our comeback preparation. Every minute matter. So, I told him, "I'm fine, Hyung." I tried to smile even though I knew it wasn't convincing. "I'm just tired and a little dizzy before. But I'm okay now. Don't worry."
He didn't look convinced. He held out his hand against my forehead. He frowned. "You're warm, Hyungwon-ah. Just tell me the truth. Don't go if you don't feel good. I can ask Hongshik hyung to give you a day off."
I sighed.
"It's really nothing, Hyung. Maybe I'll feel better after a shower." I walked out my bedroom before Kihyun could say anything.
The other members were sitting around the dining table, savoring their breakfast without talking. They were clearly as tired as I was. Who was I to complain a little headache? Minhyuk, on the other hand, looked bright. He looked at me and waved excitedly. He smiled widely. Our sunshine, indeed.
"Hurry take a shower, Hyungwon-ah! I've fried some shrimps that you like!"
I smiled back and nodded. Even though I didn't feel like eating, I couldn't let them know. I went into the bathroom and took a quick shower. I felt somewhat better after that. The pain in my head slowly decreasing and completely disappeared when I sat beside Changkyun and ate my breakfast. I smiled at Kihyun, I think he could see that I really feel better. He smiled back at me genuinely.
