TaeSoul was sick and she hated it. She normally was pretty good at remaining well. Constant monitoring was vital to ensure that her diabetes remained looked after. However, she had fallen ill with what was thought of at first as just a common cold. She continued to perform and practice with her cold. As the group was already one member down, with JB having a back injury, she was determined to continue performing. 

Yeah that didn't go to plan. When her so called 'cold' lasted more than two and a half weeks she was sent to the doctors just for a simple check. But simple never seemed to work in her favour. 

"You've got a pretty severe chest infection Miss Byun and with your diabetes you must take a few weeks rest" And boom she was prevented from performing. 

That was how she found herself laid in JaeBum's room with the TV tuned to M Countdown in preparation and a FaceTime currently running. She was bummed to say the least. The group was performing a cover of Shinhwa's This Love which she would argue to be her favourite song of all time. Though she was at least happy to be able to watch them slay the performance whilst she was sat back at the dorm watching the live broadcast. 

JaeBum was currently holding the phone with the other group members supposably on the other side. TaeSoul was playing with the settings of the TV to ensure they are quiet enough to hear the other members speak but the remote was in an easy enough place to reach and turn it up for when their group performed. 

"Not that I don't love speaking to you JaeBum, but where's my daughter?" Came the distinctive voice of JinYoung

"I'm here mum, came TaeSoul as she gently took the phone away coming face to face with said member. She looked over what she could tell was his stage outfit. 

"Oh wow keeping to the original colours, very impressive. Show me the whole suit." She basically demanded watching as her request was complied. The phone was passed to someone else and a full body shot of JinYoung could be seen as he modelled the stage outfit showing her the full outfit. The pair talked for a while before she was passed to the other members. 

"YugYeom are you okay? You're going to do great I believe in you!" She cheered when seeing the only member who was younger than her. The pair normally had a pre-performace routine they went through together though she could not do it as they were not together. She did as much as possible through the phone though she was unable to do everything. Their routine had been based off the one seen in High School Musical performed by Sharpay and Ryan Evans. It started off as a joke making ridiculous noises before starting their performance, however, by doing so it warmed their voices and also removed part of their energy. An added bonus. 

When she had talked to the rest of the members she meant all but one. YoungJae had of course chosen this time to go for a nervous wee dashing to the loo before she had the chance to even see him yet alone speak. She brushed this off deciding not to worry when saying goodbye to everyone else. They were heading towards the stage to prep for the performance. 

The pair trend the TV up as soon as their group was introduced. TaeSoul sat up with a cough ready to watch as JaeBum remained in his position aware of his doctor's orders. When the lights started along with the music TaeSoul let out a small squeal. Her eyes were fixed to the screen for the whole 3 minutes and 40 seconds. She only muttered words for the majority of the performance not knowing many of her reactions were being vocalised. When the performance changed to another group the two bed bound members turned to one another.

"They were good weren't they princess?" JaeBum asked watching as TaeSoul nodded vigorously and coughed before answering.

"Good. They were great. Better than great. They were amazing. Fantastic. Just wow. I was so bummed I couldn't be there but I'm actually happy I wasn't look how fantastic it was. Holy smokes. The outfits, the choreography, the vocals." She gushed coughing once more after finishing her speech.

It was late at night heading towards the midnight mark when the other members wandered through the door. Originally, TaeSoul had planned to remain in the same room as JaeBum though he soon began to become sleepy therefore, she left his room and returned to her own. To waste her time as she awaited their arrival. When the six walked through the door their voices were low as JinYoung scolded them for potentially waking up their ill members.

A small knock rung out on her door. She breathed out a come in as she waited for the other members to enter. She watched as all six entered the room having obviously tried their leader first. Opening her arms she welcomed them onto her bed as they flopped onto the soft surface. BamBam laid in her arms complaining how everything was too different as a six member group. Mark laid next to her his eyes partially closed as though he was dosing off. YugYeom was laid somewhere towards the bottom of the bed. He was too tired to even attempt socialisation. JinYoung was sat crossed legged towards one edge of the bed opposite to him being YonugJae. Jackson was spiralled out in the middle whining about how tired he was. Yet despite their lack of energy the other members remained awake for another hour or so discussing the performance and their days before they started to trail out of her bedroom.

Eventually it was only her and YoungJae left. he had soon moved his way to the top of the bed laying beside her once the other members had left some space. He gingerly took her right hand in his left and for a while no words were spoken.

"Baby, please talk to me"

"I'm mad at you Choi YoungJae" Came TaeSoul's reply.

"What did I do wrong"

"It's your bladder and unbelievable good looks that you have to blame. First you race off to the toilet so I couldn't say good luck. Then bam you appear on stage ruggedly handsome in that fine suit and those amazing vocals. I can't compute you. My poor heart can't keep up." She whispered giving a small smile.

YoungJae released a breath of air. "I thought you were generally mad at me"

"Oh I'm mad you managed to avoid talking to me. There's no lie there. But you've already made it up to me. I can't stay mad at you." The two without knowing had their 2am conversation from much earlier until much later that night. Falling asleep in each others arms.
