Chaeyeon's POV:

I took Sakura to the clinic, I told Min-ju, Hyewon and Yujin to take over for me. Hyewon or Kwangbae Hyung as we call her was the first eldest in the team, but because I was the creator of our choreography, she became vice captain of the team and made me the captain instead. Kwangbae got her name Kwangbae because of a Japanese trainee, Miru, when Miru was learning Korean, she used to translate our names in the Japanese Translator App she had with her and Hyewon's name would always come up as Kwangbae. Miru started to call her Kwangbae, which Hyewon loved because it sounded cool.

I carried her the lover's carry way, her feather light body on my arms as I carried her to the clinic. Nako pressing buttons of the elevator for me and opening doors as well. She was still breathing, thank goodness for that. What happened, I didn't understand, she was okay a while ago. Minmin and Yujin must've done something as she was facing them when she collapsed. My mind is now filled with questions. What could've possibly happened to her. When we got the clinic, the nurse helped me get her to a bed. Then asked me what happened to her.

"She suddenly cried and then hyperventilated and then collapsed." I answered the Nurse.

"Did she have breakfast? She might've just needed to eat breakfast, it's 5 a.m. probably just hungry?" The nurse asked me.

"We already ate breakfast." I replied to her.

"Oh, probably something else or perhaps the heat wave, please bring her to a hospital when she wakes up. She could rest here for the mean time and I'll call Miss Sejeong to excuse you for the day until she wakes up and goes to the hospital." The nurse replied and abruptly left us in the room.

I faced Nako and told her.

"You may go back to Class Room A, I'll take care of your Okan, okay?" I told Nako.

"Ok Oton Chaen." Nako said forcing a toothy worried smile on her face.

I captured Nako in a hug and whispered to her.

"She'll be fine, Nako-chan. I promise I'll take care of her and you and Hitomi. Go and practice hard today." I said into the hug.

"Oton Chaen, Thank you for taking care of my Okan. She's very fragile these days, I apologize to you for her troubles. I'll do well with practice and keep my spot." Nako whispered softly, her voice to the brink of breaking.

"Shhhh, Nako. Your Okan will not like it if we cry, now please go. I'll call Minmin and update her of her status through out the day. Your lunches are at her bag, I saw her packing it a while ago in her bag." I whispered back to Nako and rubbed her back.

Once we pulled away, she again forces a worried smile and bowed to me. I smiled to her and bowed back to her. She left the clinic and I was left with Sakura. She looks beautiful even though she collapsed earlier. Her sleeping figure all serene and calm. There was always a sadness to her eyes, that made me wonder what she's feeling and how she's coping. She seemed to be a reserved person, an INTJ, Introverted and over analyzes things around her must be, because those certain sadness in her eyes were also filled with questions, like the hows and whys in her past, she's emotional and sensitive with her blood type A, she's definitely a match to blood type A personality coupled with her MBTI, this is trouble brewing.

She left AKB48 and HKT48 quietly, the scheduled graduation for her never happened, much to her fans' dismay. She just ended her career abruptly and left Japan. Her last performance being that concert, held in Fukuoka, Japan. She bade her members goodbye and abruptly left the venue after the concert. Not even saying when and where her graduation is. She just up and left them. Unlike Tomi and Nako who held their graduation concert a month after announcing their graduation. She's full of mystery, like a mythical being with unknown origins. I watched her sleep, looking lovingly at her, waiting for her to wake up. To say something, anything that's been bothering her.

Her eyes wasn't all the way closed, I noticed this once I lifted her up and brought her to the company's clinic. If it wasn't for Nako telling me that she sleeps with her eyes open, I'd probably think she's just doing this for drama and attention. I also scolded myself for thinking she's just a drama queen craving for attention, because who the hell does what she does, just pretend to sleep out of nowhere really? My mind berated me that instance. Then, my mind remembered again how hard it must have been for her, giving up two concurrent team captainship and one vice captainship, she wanted to be the leader that was what she always told on her interviews, so leaving her concurrent positions as leader must be hard, that was why she didn't say goodbye properly after the concert and her graduation concert didn't push through.

I decided it will be bad for Sakura's health if we don't let her rest for a few days. Friday, Saturday and Sunday should be enough, so, I called Teacher Sejeong myself, to give an excuse for the whole team to have the three full days of rest and we will be returning Monday, we also needed to get away for now from all the stress we had to endure especially for the original Team A, Yuri, Hyewon and Min-ju, these girls didn't take any vacations for the past four years we were training, certainly we could go on a vacation. Teacher Sejeong asked me what happened to Sakura and I told her that she fainted right after crying and hyperventilating.

Teacher Sejeong took pity on Sakura and the whole of our team that she agreed, Teacher Sejeong or more specifically, Sejeong Unnie used to be a star too, she trained hard for 6 years, developing her incredible dancing and vocals. She's a considerate Teacher, but strict with our movements and lines, we needed to nail them in one go, but because my team always practiced harder than anyone else in the company, we nail each and every choreography to the point that she trusts me to practice with Team A on a different Practice room and even create or own choreo.

Now that we have the days off, starting tomorrow, I planned to make her relax and ease up with her daily activities. I needed to watch her and make sure that she recovers accordingly to the schedule I gave to Teacher Sejeong. She needed to rest and make sure her health is good within 3 days. Same for the whole team, my IZ*ONME team needed this emergency break. Especially my grand daughter Wonyoung, Minjoo and Yujin's Baby. Yeah, we are like family, since Wonyoung and Yujin are roomies since they began training 3 years ago.

The nurse enters the sleeping room again and gave me an Ice Pack to put over Sakura's forehead. I took the ice pack and carefully dabs it on Sakura's forehead. Silently praying to any higher power to keep her safe, to debut with us. She shivers from the cold ice pack and I stopped dabbing the ice pack. She flutters her eyes open, eyes full of questions.

"W-where are we?" She asked me, her eyes shifts to worry.

"Relax, Kku-chan. You are at the WM Entertainment's Clinic. You fainted a little while ago." I replied to her.

"I'm sorry Chaen." She replied to me, her eyes almost filling up with tears.

"Hey, you don't need to be sorry. You are not at fault here. I need to bring you to the hospital, wait here and don't stand up until I return. I'll go and get our bags." I replied to her.

I left her without waiting for an answer, I called my driver abruptly and told him to come to WM Entertainment because I need to bring someone to the hospital. I kept my phone in my jogging pants' pocket. Got to our training room, where our bags are already placed, team IZ*ONME looked back to me when I opened the door. They all rushed to me and asked me.

"How is Eomma doing?" They all asked me.

"She's fine, I guess, I have to bring her to the hospital to make sure. Min-ju and Hyewon, please take over and make sure to practice hard today, I will call you or Hyewon to update about her health status, behave guys okay?" I replied to them as I picked up our bags.

"Okay, Appa. We'll practice hard." Hyewon replied followed by the rest.

"I have to leave now, oh and I have something to tell you guys later." I replied and turned towards the door.

"You can't tell us now?" Yuri replied.

"Later, Yuri. Practice hard, send me videos of your practices on KKT okay?" I remind them one final time.

"Yeah, we'll send over videos." Minmin replied.

I walked back to the clinic and found that Sakura was just laying in bed and looking at the ceiling as if the ceiling was a marvelous work of art. I called her attention.

"Kku-chan, here's your bag, please put on a shirt." I told her as I handed over her bag.

I helped her sit up on the bed, my hands on her back and the other on her arm. I helped her put the cropped shirt on. She smiled weakly at me as she pulled her cropped shirt down.

"How are the kids?" She asked me.

"They're practicing." I answered her.

Once I saw her sling her bag to her shoulder, I took her bag and slinged it across my chest as well as mine which was slinged to the right of my chest. I then got into position and told her.

"I'll give you a piggy back ride, hop on and never let go." I told her.

"I can walk Chaen." She replied, her voice sounded distressed.

"I know you can still walk, but I'm not risking it, I'd rather carry you and break my back, than let you collapse again. Now, please, hop on, my driver is waiting." I replied to her.

I received the text message and it was automatically read to me by Siri, because I had my AirPods on. The message was from my driver, telling me that he was already here, the reason why he came here right away is because he lived nearby WM Entertainment. My Parents hired him, I rarely use the car but the hospital is 2 towns over, Shinchon Yonsei Hospital was the trusted and nearest hospital to WM Entertainment, the ones around WM Entertainment are clinics and although she was a foreigner, I can pay for her hospital bill anyway, so I shouldn't worry about that.

Aside from the weekly 500 Thousand Won, I also have a separate bank account where I save most of my prize money from dance competitions and other gigs. It was the first time I'll ever use that money and for Miyawaki Sakura who was my crush at that of course I don't mind using those prize money, amounting to 1.5 Million Dollars already because I just saved it for a long time. Everytime I competed, I saved the prize money, in a high wielding stock bonds in the bank. Every year this money earns 50% and since it's been 10 years since I started to save and buy stock bonds, I have a lot of money, I could spend on her hospital bills, plus Dad owns the Hospital.

She hesitated for a bit before she hops on my back and held on to my shoulders tightly. I grabbed both her arms to scoot her up, I secured both her legs on my waist, crossing both legs on my waist, before I went ahead and walked out of the clinic, saying to the nurse, I'll be bringing Sakura to the hospital to which the nurse replied take care. I reached the main entrance and there was my sedan a Mercedes - Benz C Class Avantgarde black sedan. My driver opened the door for me as soon as I reached the back passenger seat. I squatted near the door and Sakura got down from my back, I held her hand the entire time and made sure she was seated comfortably, I rounded my car thereafter and alighted my car on the other side. I sat with her and waited for the driver to close my door and finally drive us.

"Take us to Shinchon Yonsei Hospital and step on it please." I commanded my driver Jackson.

"Right away, Miss Lee." He spoke and started to drive.

I held Sakura's hand as we travelled two towns over. My thumb rubbing her purlicue to calm her. She just stared at the window, all the while. Then my phone notified of a new message. I opened my phone while my other hand still held Sakura's hand. It was a video from my kids
