"Okay, take five!" CAP said, fanning himself with his hat.  

The other members sit down on the floor, panting, but Chunji just flat out collapses, his eyes closed, trying to regulate his breathing and pumping heart in just five minutes.  He feels something cold being pressed against his heated skin and sees his best friend, L.Joe smiling at him, pressing a cold water bottle to his cheek.  Chunji doesn't even have enough energy to lift his arm to take the water bottle, so he just smiles and gestures a little to set it down beside him.  L.Joe shrugs and puts it down, and then pulls out a granola bar and unwraps it.  He then shoves it into Chunji's open mouth that was gaping for air, making the older one choke.

"What was that for!?" Chunji asked irritatably when he managed to swallow the sweet oats.  He took his water bottle and sat up, washing the rest of the chunky food that L.Joe fed him down.

"You need energy, Chunji.  You also need to eat.  Like, legit," L.Joe replied, shrugging.  "I mean, look at you.  Your arms are like sticks.  Almost like Taemin sunbaenim's, except with less muscle."  (Do they call SHINee's Taemin "sunbaenim"?  I think they called MInho that so~...IDK.)

"Yah~ I have muscle...," Chunji mumbled.  He made a little "mmph" sound when another granola bar was stuck into his mouth, this time by Niel.  "What the heck, Ahn Daniel!?" Chunji huffed.  "I'm your hyung; you guys should trust me when I say I'm fine.  You guys shouldn't really be talking either, especially you, L.Joe.  You're like skin and bones."

"Well at least I eat," L.Joe replied.  

"Break's over, get into formation," CAP called, breaking their conversation.  "And Chunji, you rest for this dance and eat that granola bar over there.  You seem half-dead."

"I'm fine!" Chunji protested, getting up.  "I swear I a- oh...."  Chunji waved a bit, blinking.  "I-I'm fine."  He gave his playful smile and the members sighed.  There was no way to convince Lee Chanhee.  

"Hyung, he's going to die or something soon," L.Joe whispered to CAP after practice.

"He won't.  But he will get sick.  I can tell," CAP replied, wiping his face with a towel.

"Yah~ Byunghunnie~ gimme another one of those granola bars; they're good," Chunji called.  "Thanks!" he said brightly when L.Joe handed him the bar half-heartedly.  Noticing L.Joe's behavior, he asked, "Anything wrong?"

"No," L.Joe replied.  After a moment, he repeated, "No."

"Oka-"  Before Chunji could finish, though, his stomach churned and the granola bars - or what was left of it in his stomach - decided to resurface.  Chunji wretched on the hallway of the studio while the others looked at him with horrified expressions.  "I-I'm fine," the second eldest of the group managed before he practically collapsed if it weren't for L.Joe, who caught him with ease.

"Told ya," CAP muttered under his breath.
