The waiting room for the idols were busy, with the make-up and hair stylists running about to get their idol ready for the concert. The concert wasn't a big one, but it was just a small outdoors charity concert that a few different groups attended, including CNBLUE, A-Pink, Red Velvet, BTOB, and Infinite. With every performance, fans can call in to donate a said amount of money to the charity. But nevertheless, the artists wanted to do their best and perform well because it was for a good cause.

The members of Infinite were slowly getting ready, but they didn't have to hurry as much because they were the second to last performance. However, they wanted to get their make-up and outfit ready so they can rest before performing.

"Agh..." a voice groaned, signaling he was in discomfort.

"Hyung... are you okay?" Woohyun said with a concerned look in his face.

Sungkyu used a towel to wipe the perspiration off of his forehead. "It's fine. I can handle."

"Alright, if you insist..." Woohyun gave his friend one last concerned look before getting changed into the stage outfit.

The members were finished off getting their stage outfits ready, when all the members heard another groan from Sungkyu.

"Hyung, are you hurt somewhere?" Sungjong.

"No," Sungkyu lied. "I'm fine."

Sungjong looked at Dongwoo.

"I think he has a fever," Dongwoo pointed out.

Woohyun went through Sungkyu's bag to find some pain relievers for headaches. However, the container that was supposed to have pain reliever pills in it was empty. It seemed that today wasn't the first day that he was having a headache. Out of concern, he pulled out Sungkyu's phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, do you mind coming? Hyung's not feeling well. I don't think he can perform. Yeah. I'll tell the manager. Thank you." After the conversation on the phone, Woohyun returned Sungkyu's phone to his backpack and went to go tell the manager.

It was soon time for Infinite to perform. The other members were all busy making sure their earpieces were in place and nothing was going wrong with their mics. Sungkyu, however, fell asleep on the couch. Occasionally, Woohyun and Myungsoo would come to wipe his sweat. As he was in an uncomfortable position, Hoya and Sungyeol gently lifted his body to put him in a lying down position. He seemed to not budge a bit, which shows that he was deep in sleep. As the members walked out of the room, they saw a familiar figure walk in.

"You're here! Thank you so much for coming," Sungjong said.

Woohyun smiled. "Thanks. Tell Hyung that I'll handle all his parts well. I'm a main vocal too, aren't I?"

This made the person chuckle. "Of course. Good luck on your performance!"

Each of the Infinite members gave this person a smile or a pat on the head. This person was their favorite person, and she happened to be Sungkyu's girlfriend.

Once the members left to go on stage, she went over to wake Sungkyu up.

"Oppa, wake up," she said as she gently shook him.

Sungkyu slowly woke up, and he rubbed his eyes. "...Minyoung? What are you doing here?"

"What do you think?" Minyoung said. "You're sick, so I'm taking you to the dorm."

Sungkyu nodded, not completely understanding though. He then opened his eyes widely. 

"Oh no! The concert! I have to go perform!" Sungkyu said. He tried to walk out but Minyoung held onto him.

"They're already performing. Woohyun said he'll take care of your part. If you perform at this rate, you're going to faint on stage. Let's just go to the dorm," Minyong said.

"Bu-"

"No buts. Let's go." Minyoung guided Sungkyu out, and he had a small pout on his face.

"But the concert... I'm okay, Minyoung. I really am," he said, but Minyoung ignord his words and took him to her car.

She then got in and drove to Infinite's dorm. When they arrived, they walked inside and took the elevator to the floor that Sungkyu resided on. They entered his dorm using a passcode that only the members, the managers, and Minyoung knew of.

"Go lay down," Minyoung said, as she headed to the kitchen.

"Minyoung, I'm fine. You should go. Don't you have to go to work?" Sungkyu asked, concerned.

"I called them saying I couldn't go," she replied as she digged through the c
