The aespa is in the practice room polishing their newly released songs. They have been practicing for 7 straight hours but all of them seems still high in spirit except for their resident puppy.

"Should we end now or you girls still want to have another go?" Jimin clapped grabbing the attention of her members

Ningning and Aeri cheered to have another go, still feeling high-spirited since their mini album have just reached 1 million orders.

Minjeong wanted to reside back to her bed but at the same time she didnt want to down the atmosphere by announcing that she wasnt feeling well.

"Lets have another go unnie" Minjeong smiled willing herself to get up

1 hour turned into 4 hours. It was already close to midnight when the girls walked back home. The three girls were happily chatting while their introverts was quitely walking beside them.

The extroverts didnt paid no mind at Minjeong being silent since they know that the latter tends to have her social battery drained after practice.

"Aahh my head is killing me"Minjeong thought as she blinked rapidly as she was already losing focus

Minjeong felt for the first time how far their practice room and their dorm was. She clinged on Ningning who immediately linked their arms together without glancing at her unnie.

Minjeong didnt know how she survived walking with a severe headache and a unfocused eyes but all she wants was to lie down and sleep, hoping that tomorrow will be a bit better because of their hectic schedule.

*Morning*

Their manager unnie was waking the girls up and the last member that she would be waking up was Minjeong.

As soon as the manager entered the room she knows something was wrong. Minjeong loves the cold, stepping into her room is like experiencing Antartica itself but right now its like the Sahara dessert.

"Minjeong?" Manager unnie softly quipped as she arrived at the bed

Despite having no aircon or opened fan, the owner of the room was wrapped in a thick blanket.

"Minjeong aah" their manager slowly peeled off the blanket

What greeted their manager was an even paler Minjeong who was breathing heavily. The serene sleeping face that the latter normally have was replaced with a scrunched up face indicating that the latter was in pain.

Manager unnie didnt even thinked twice and called for another manager. She went outside the room and saw the other members were now having their breakfast happily.

"Minjeong isnt up yet unnie?"Aeri asked as she their manager unnie heading straight to the kitched

"I can wake her up unnie"Jimin volunteered and stood up

"I dont think Minjeong will join you girls today, she's feeling unwell" their manager said as she headed back to Minjeong's room with a pale filled water and a towel

Their manager didnt need to look back to see that the other members were following her. Minjeong easily gets sick thus it wasnt really new to them but their manager feel like this time is different, she didnt want to say it to the other girls cause she didnt want to worry them.

"Its so hot in here" Ningning said

Their manager placed a cold towel on Minjeong's forehead and proceeded to wipe that younger girl's body.

"She didnt look sick yesterday"Jimin mumbled seeing how Minjeong was still sleeping even after placing a cold towel on her

"Are you sure? Minjeong looked a little bit pale yesterday when you guys were on the practice room. I told her that she should rest first but told me she was fine. Before I left you girls, I told her to not stay up too long. What time did you girls came home?" Their manager asked facing the leader

The three girls bit their lip guiltily although their manager was just asking a question.

"Midnight unnie"Jimin answered

Their manager sighed because the girls didnt went home at the time they promised.

"Girls I
