"This is the second time this week you're here" Shuhua heard the nurse say when she woke up, still dizzy and confused and soon enough there were four people hovering over her with worried faces, she felt Minnie's hand playing with her hand gently. 

 

"What happened?"

 

"You passed out while playing," Minnie said, and Shuhua groaned, starting to remember what happened. 

 

"Are you okay?" She heard Soyeon ask, hand caressing her face. "We ran here right away after some kids from the book club were yelling that you died" She added and Shuhua laughed at that.

 

"Ah, I gotta love their dedication to lie," Shuhua said, noticing Yuqi holding her hand. "Please tell me you didn't believe I actually died"

 

"I panicked!" Yuqi said, slapping her hand. 

 

"I'm ill! don't assault me!" Shuhua complained and then looked around. "Where is Miyeon and Soojin?" She finally asked and they weren't around.

 

"Soojin went to get some water and took Miyeon with her so she would stop sobbing all over you" Yuqi said. "If I didn't think you were dead before, I would when I walked in and saw the way she was holding you" 

 

"I felt like watching a drama," Soyeon added as Yuqi laughed.

 

"She's so dramatic-"

 

"Hey! She was really worried about you" Minnie said.

 

As if they were summoned, Both Miyeon and Soojin walked in and as soon as the elder saw that their youngest was awake, she quickly made her way to Shuhua, sitting on the bed and hugging the girl who started to complain right away.

 

"Shushu! You're okay!!"

 

"Miyeon! Not in front of the nurse" The younger said, glancing at the woman shaking her head as she reads her magazine. "You're embarrassing me- AH!" She squeals as the other girl starts to kiss her face. 

 

Minnie laughs at the scene, arms crossed and all, then she looks at Soojin who was still by the door, staring at the whole thing with her usual poker face, far different from the panic in her eyes as she held Shuhua in her arms and calling her name before picking her up and taking her to the infirmary. She supposed that the cheerleader was still a bit shaken up by what happened. 

 

"Minnie-unnie, Please control your girlfriend!" Shuhua said as Miyeon hugged her tight, not letting the girl move properly; Miyeon only squeezed her more and Shuhua grunts, knowing she won't let go so soon. 

 

"I called your dad," Yuqi said, holding Shuhua's hand tighter. "He should be here in a few minutes"

 

"Why would you call him!" Shuhua complained. "He's already stressed with work, he doesn't need any more problems" 

 

"You're not a problem, you're his child. He'll understand" Soyeon said. But Shuhua just crossed her arms and decided to be grumpy about it; The nurse stood up, checking her watch. 

 

"Okay girls, back to your classes! only one person can stay with her until her dad arrive so-"

 

"I'll stay," Soojin said, before Miyeon had the chance to. "If she's too much work I'll make her pass out again" She added and Minnie just rubbed Miyeon's shoulder, as if to tell her to just let Soojin stay. 

 

"Wait, you guys will actually leave me alone with Soojin?!" Shuhua asked as the cheerleader moved closer to her bed and sat by the chair Minnie was on before. "What if she kills me?"

 

"Don't be dramatic, we're all going to see you after class at your house," Soyeon said as they left, ignoring Shuhua asking them to stay and protect her. 

 

Then silence, Shuhua looked at Soojin who was now opening her bag in silence, not looking at Shuhua at all; The younger finally sat on the bed and moved her pillows around so she would be comfortable, thinking that starting small talk would make the awkward silence go away. 

 

The nurse seemed to notice the uncomfortable silence because she gave some attempt of an excuse to escape the room. She was probably going to smoke outside anyways, everyone knew she does that when she thinks nobody is looking. 

 

Shuhua snapped out of her th

Oh, it's been a while! After what had happened, I stop reading anything related to SooShu or any (G) I-DLE pairings. My heart was too heartbroken by it but I miss them. I miss reading fictions about them, and I'll start once again.

Thank you for writing! I just hope you're always healthy and happy 😊

Chapter 60: Like one of the chapter said, not everything ends with a happy ending since sad ending is more realistic.
