❝My hands were cold but now it's already spring,
Dreamy breezes blow here and there.
Different from usual, I like this feeling.
Maybe tomorrow will be a different day.❞

The doctor was taking Eunbyul's temperatures while the others standing in line looking at them.
"Are you feeling well, Eunbyul-ssi?" He glimpsed a smile as Eunbyul nodded.
"Okay so I got your temperature now. You are 100% healthy so you'll be able to go home tomorrow," he said while writing something in his papers, "Two of you please follow me to discuss further details."
This time, Hyerim and Seungcheol went with him.
Inside his office, the coldness was still there.
"As I said earlier, her health is perfectly fine. But about her voice, I don't think you should tell her the truth yet. It could cause major shock or even worse, madness. So, I think right now, she needs to eat plenty and rest well, that's our top priority, to keep her heart pumping. My thoughts maybe wrong and if you keep her hopes up too high, she'll have a major breakdown if it's false. Understood?"
The two, who had listened carefully, nodded and left out a long sigh.
The doctor saw their worries, he then comforted them, "I didn't say you mustn't tell her, just that you shouldn't tell her instantly. I still believe she could talk, don't lose hope."
"Thank you doctor," Seungcheol smiled.
They left his office. On the way back, Seungcheol started having a chat with Hyerim as he saw she was slightly frowning.
The boy smiled, "Hey, don't be too sad. Like he said, have hope."
"I know. Just worried for her," Hyerim smiled back, "She's very tough, I know she'll get over anything that comes her way."
"You know what?" Seungcheol asked making Hyerim hum in response, "You really love her. I could feel that you are like actual sisters, you four are."
Hyerim giggled, "Well, we've been through a lot. You guys are no different. A big family, that's what you guys are."
"And we got something in common too," he chuckled, "We're both the oldest and in charge of taking care of them."
"I guess we are..." Hyerim giggled softly.
Then, Chan went to them while panting, "Seungcheol hyung, Pledis Academy called us..." He paused to breathe, "The principal wants us there."
"Alright, I'll call Mingyu and we'll leave," Seungcheol nodded before Chan ran off .
But as Seungcheol patted his pockets, he realized he forgot his phone at home, "Shit," he muttered causing a laugh to escape from Hyerim's lips.
"Want me to call Mihae? They're probably together," Hyerim pointed at her phone.
"As much as I don't want to disturb them, but this is an emergency so please do," he sighed.
Hyerim quickly dialled Mihae's number.
"Hello?"
"Mihae? You okay? Is Mingyu with you?"
"Yeah? He's right next to me. What's wrong?"
"Seungcheol wanted him to come here. Apparently Seungcheol left his phone at home and I don't have Mingyu's number so I called you. Sorry if I interrupted anything, Seungcheol kept urging me to call so I had to," she said giggling a bit, glancing at Seungcheol.
"Oh it's fine. Alright I'll tell him. See you," and Mihae ended the phone call.
"Since when did I urge you?" Seungcheol pouted slightly.
Hyerim giggled and continued to walk back to Eunbyul's room with him.
"You're really qualified to be a girlfriend," Seungcheol casually spoke.
Hyerim was obviously shocked, but she kept calm and joked, "Was that a confession?"
But Seungcheol's serious answer caught her by surprise, "Maybe, maybe not."
The rest of the walk was quite.
Well, at least until they got back to Eunbyul's room, where they heard loud conversations.
"DID ANY OF YOU KIDS GOT INTO A FIGHT AND DO I HAVE TO WRITE AN APOLOGY TO ANYONE?!" Jeonghan voice was louder than normal.
"Heck to the no. We are freaking angels," Seungkwan sassed.
"Yeah right. You, the one who kicked me out of bed last night just because of a blanket, is claiming yourself as an 'angel'? Pfft, that's hillarious," Seokmin laughed.
"Hello?! This is a hospital, not your dormitory. We have a patient here!" Yeonha yelled loudly at the boys.
"Hush humans," Soonyoung spread out his hands.
"YOU HUSH SOONYOUNG!" They all replied at the same time.
All that time, Eunbyul was silently laughing her butt out.
"Yah! I just gone out for ten minutes and you guys are trying to burn the hospital down or something?" Seungcheol pointed at them.
"And I'm pretty sure the principal only wanted to talk to you about your debut or something, so you guys are overreacting," Hyerim shook her head in disappointment.
Soon enough, Mingyu showed up. All eyes were on him as he panted due to his running.
When he looked up, he was startled at their stares, "What?"
"A-Ah, nothing. You guys gotta go now right? Go!" Yeonha urged them to get out of the room.
They left before saying goodbye to the girls.
It was all silent before Mihae got back.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Mihae asked the same thing that Mingyu asked before, "What?"
Eunbyul couldn't keep her giggles down and laughed a little while Mihae's face wrote the word 'confused' on. Not literally but you get it.
"Nothing. Just that Mingyu asked the same thing earlier," Hyerim glimpsed a small smile at the confused girl.
Mihae laughed, her laugh sounded bitter, that worried everyone.
"What's wrong, Mihae?" Yeonha asked.
But Mihae's smile remained on her lips.
"Everything's fine. I will be fine as well."
