Jeongyeon was just about to drift off to sleep when her phone rang, startling her. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, but a smile quickly spread across her face as she recognized the caller ID: it was her good friend Momo.

"What's up, Momo?" she answered cheerfully, but her excitement quickly turned to concern when she heard her sobbing on the other end of the line. "Momo? What happened?" she asked, her voice filled with worry.

Through her tears, Momo managed to utter a single word: "Sana." Jeongyeon's heart skipped a beat as she anxiously pressed for more information. "What's with Sana? Please, Momo, tell me," she pleaded, her mind racing with thoughts of what could have happened to her girlfriend.

Before Momo could respond, another voice came on the line. It was Mina, Sana's best friend. "Give me the phone,"

"Mina, please, tell me. What happened to Sana?" Jeongyeon asked, her voice trembling with worry. "She's in the hospital-" Mina was cut off by Jeongyeon. "I will be in Japan tomorrow," she said as she walked back and forward. "Hey listen first" Mina sighed. "What? She's in the hospital and you expect me to stay still".

"Babe" her eyes widened when she heard Sana's voice. "It's me," she said, her voice filled with warmth and affection.

Relief washed over Jeongyeon as she exclaimed, "Sana? Thank goodness you're okay!"

She couldn't help but pepper her with a flurry of questions, her concern pouring out. "What happened, babe? Are you alright? Please, tell me everything," she pleaded, desperate for answers.

To her surprise, Sana giggled. "Oh, Jeongyeon, don't worry so much," she said playfully. Her giggle quickly turned into a glare towards Momo and Mina, who had apparently overreacted and scared Jeongyeon unnecessarily. "I just fainted, that's all. I promise I'm fine," she reassured her in a soft, comforting tone.

Jeongyeom let out a sigh "Just fainted? It is important, Sana! Is it because you haven't been sleeping and eating well?" she asked, her voice tinged with guilt.

Sana quickly interjected, "I know what you're thinking now. Don't blame yourself for that."

Sana had been working tirelessly to prepare for Jeongyeon's upcoming visit to Japan, where they planned to spend quality time together. Her dedication to her work and the stress it brought had taken a toll on her well-being.

With her heart sinking in her chest, Sana continued, "I love you, okay? I love you so much. Don't overthink it. I'm okay now, my love." She hoped her words would ease her worries and reassure her of her well-being.

Jeongyeon took a deep breath. "I love you too. Can I talk to Mina?" she asked, wanting to ensure that Sana had the support she needed.

Sana nodded, handing the phone to Mina, her trusted friend. Jeongyeon's voice resonated through the phone as she spoke to Mina, "Mina, let her sleep now." Mina hummed in response. "Don't let her go to work tomorrow," Jeongyeon instructed, her protective nature shining through.

Mina assured her, "Okay, I understand." Grateful for Mina's understanding, Jeongyeon thanked her, and Mina passed the phone back to Sana.

"Sana," Jeongyeon called out, her voice filled with concern. "Yes, my love," she answered, her voice filled with exhaustion. "Try to sleep now. No work tomorrow, and I don't want to hear anything other than that," she said firmly.

Sana let out a sigh. "Babe, no. I have to," she protested. "No, you don't have to. I said no work tomorrow, and sleep now," she insisted. Sana's frustration grew, and she couldn't help but express it. "Don't do that, Jeongyeon," she pleaded.

"Do what?"

Sana's voice dropped as she made a decision. "I have to go, Jeongyeon," she said quietly. Jeongyeon's tone turned serious. "Stop, Sana. No means no," she firmly stated. Sana's scowl deepened as she reluctantly agreed. "Fine!" she grumbled.
