Sick TurtleI've intended to take a painkiller but unfortunately, there were none left in our medicine cabinet. I knew Wonho hyung might have some, but I didn't want to let them worry about me. So, I climbed into our van hoping my headache won't come back. I slept along the way, letting my body rested.
"Hyungwon-ah, wake up. We're here."
I felt someone patted my knee. I opened my eyes, feeling drowsy. Minhyuk grinned at me and patted my knee once again. "Come on, sleepy head. You can sleep again while our stylist put on your make up and do your hair."
I nodded and suddenly the pain came back and hit me really hard. I couldn't hide it. I winced, I groaned. My body bowed forward with my both hands holding my head. I really wanted to cry but I hold my tears. I didn't want to ruin our schedule.
"Hey! Are you okay?" asked Minhyuk, worriedly. "Hyungwon-ah?"
I lifted my head, forced myself to smile playfully. "Yes, yes... I'm okay," I said quickly. I... I'm just really sleepy."
Minhyuk laughed. "Don't be silly! You scared me!"
"Sorry, hyung."
"Hurry up, okay?" He said before running into the building. We were going to have a photoshoot there.

"Are you feeling okay, Hyungwon? You're sweating a lot, I can't put on your makeup like this." She put her palm on my forehead. "Aigoo, you're burning."
The stylist noona who was doing my make up stared at me. She looked concern. Honestly, I felt like dying. I regretted my decision not to stay at home resting. At this point, I knew it was useless to lie to her. I blinked slowly, sighing. I could feel my body shivering. Fortunately, they gave me a quite thick clothing today even though I still felt cold.
"I have a headache," I replied. My voice sounded so weak, I surprised my self. "And... freezing."
"Have you take any medicine?"
I shook my head. "We didn't have any painkiller at the dorm."
"Okay. I'll go tell your manager first. I don't think you can--"
"No, Noona. Don't tell anyone, please? This photoshoot is important," I said, weakly. "I can manage."
"How?" she asked. "I can't even put on your makeup, Hyungwon. No, I can't let you work like this."
"Noona...," I sulked. "Just let me sleep for a while, you can do others' makeup first then come back to me. Trust me, I'll be better by then."
She looked at me with disbelief. But then she gave up and agreed. "But if your condition worsens, I'll tell your manager." After that, she left but back again brought me a painkiller and a glass of water. She asked me to take it and then I drifted to sleep.
