Hakyeon was bought to the emergency department in an ambulance half an hour ago. The doctors and some nurses have pushed him in for a check-up. But, they have not returned to give any information about the leader. The members and the manager has been waiting in the corridor for more than an hour now. Every ticking minute highlights Hakyeon’s absence with them. 

The said leader will always be there, beside the members, all the time. It’s either sitting between Hongbin and Ravi or playing around with Ken, or else he’ll be clinging on Taekwoon’s arm or caress Hyuk’s hair with so much care. The absence of the leader's presence had made them think back. They could feel the sudden lack of warmth by their side. The warm and peaceful feeling only their leader could provide.

“So, here is the matter. According to the blood test results, Hakyeon-ssi is having gastritis,”
