âMin!â, he tried then, shaking her shoulders and patting her cheeks in an attempt to get her to wake up, for it seemed like the right thing to do to at least try to rouse her before he had her sent to a hospital â as sad as it was, he doubted there was an idol out there who had never fallen unconscious from overexertion, and usually, it didnât need to be made into a big deal. All he could do was hope that would be the case this time too. Two minutes. That much he was willing to give her. âHey, Hyemin!â Please.Â
She remembered the steady beat of the song right before she collapsed and then.... nothing. Her body, seemingly pushed beyond its limits, rendered incapable of even dreaming, enveloping Hyemin in just a comforting silence, far too exhausted to paint the vivid visions she would typically see. She existed in a state of just that, with no thoughts invading her brain, allowing for, finally, a moments rest from her inner turmoil.Â
Then, suddenly, sheâs ripped from her peace, feeling herself being shaken awake. Groaning slightly, she opens her eyes, only to shut them immediately, blocking out the harsh lights that adorned the ceiling of the practice room. Before she can even begin to collect her thoughts, sheâs being helped up by the same voice that shook her from her void. Taking a deep breath, she steadied herself before opening her eyes once more, turning her head to look at the owner of the mysterious voice.Â
Swallowing, she quickly identified him as her fellow labelmate. Min attempted to stand, fighting off the nausea that accompanied the dizzying feeling of moving too quickly. She quickly held onto the railing, luckily reaching it in time this time around. Exhaling, she straightened, before turning to the worried man that stood in the practice room.
Sending him the most assuring smile she could possibly muster, Min began to speak, âThank you for your help Moonjin, but Iâm okay now. You can go, Iâm fine here.â
Praying that he believed her, Hyemin reached towards her phone that was still plugged into the speaker, hitting play and allowing the music to drown out the thoughts that were threatening to return.Â
