The Animal Crossing theme song roared from her phone, waking the girl from her sweet slumber. She accepted the video call and was greeted by a sweaty Jaemin. They seemed to have just finished practicing.
"... hello?"
"Did I wake you? I'm sorry if I called so late. You weren't responding to my texts from this morning so I got worried."
"I was taking a nap and it's like 10PM here in Korea."
"A nap? What time did you sleep?"
"I left the ice rink at around um... 5 and went to sleep the moment I went home."
"So you haven't eaten dinner yet? I'm about to eat lunch so we can eat together."
"I kind of forgot to. I'll go eat in a bit. I might get dizzy if I stand to fast."
"Are you feeling ill? Have you been overdoing your practice? I know the competition is two weeks away but you shouldn't push yourself."
"No, I just have really bad period cramps and all that bullshit. It's the second day today."
"That means it's gonna be worse tomorrow?"
"Probably. I just wanna rip my-"
"Oh my god what the hell is your girlfriend saying?"
"Go away, Donghyuck."
"Hi Noona!"
"Jisung as much as I love you can I please talk to her alone first this is really important."
"Tell my baby I said hi."
"But but but.... aren't I your baby?"
"You're my Nana."
"Who do you love more? Jisung or me?"
"Are you really going to be this petty, babe?"
"Yes I am. Now who do you love more?"
"I love you more of course."
"Hey Park! Haneul said hi!"
"Jaemin is being a good boy here. Don't worry about him!"
"Ah this kid needs to be taught a lesson."
"Don't touch my child, Na Jaemin."
"Our child you mean."
"Whatever."
"Oh, our lunch is here. Go eat so that we can have our meal at the same time."
"I don't really have an appetite honestly."
"Then can you just eat a sandwich and take some pain relievers? If not just drink some water."
"I can eat at least that so you don't have to worry."
"Thank you. By the way, you don't have afternoon classes tomorrow right?"
"Wow, you must have memorized my schedule. I fortunately don't. Why?"
"Nothing. Just asking."
"Um... Okay?"
"Get up and eat already, Princess. The earlier you take the pain killer the earlier the medicine will take effect."
"Ugh... I miss being carried around by you."

"You look good in Jaemin's clothes." Yuki complimented, joining the lunch table.
"Really? I just miss his scent and took one of his hoodies in the closet." Haneul mumbled, using Sejeong as a pillow. "I wanna go home."
"You don't have afternoon classes, don't you? Why don't you go home?" Byeolin suggested.
"I need to go to the ice rink." Haneul sighed. She tried to get up but felt a wave of dizziness hit her.
"And down she goes." Haru whistled.
"Like my grades." Eunkyoung joked.
"I can drop you off to the bus stop outside. I finished my food anyway." Namu offered, getting up. She helped Haneul stand and made their way outside of the school.
Haneul realized they went off path and towards the parking lot. "This isn't the way to the bus stop?"
"I know. I'm just dropping you off to your ride and getting my pocket money." Namu cheekily answered. They spotted a familiar giant. "Youngho!"
"Johnny? Taeyong? Ten?"
"Hello my child. You miss me?" Ten greeted, guiding her to the car. "We're here to kidnap you on the behalf of a worried Jaemin."
"Don't spend all of this Julie."
"I know, I just need money for commute later." Namu mumbled, pocketing the money. "Bye Haneul! Get better soon!"
"Call me first before you call Jeno. I'm your brother! " Johnny reminded as she left. They all entered the car and began their short journey to Haneul's home.
"Why are you guys doing this?" Haneul asked.
"Jeez, you make it sound like we're bad people." Ten sulked, looking out the window.
"I didn't mean to be rude!" She huffed.
"Jaemin sent some money and asked us to help you out and make sure you rest for today. He said something about your period." Taeyong kindly explained. "He knew you would still push yourself to practice so he sent us to make sure you would rest."
"Jeno even asked Doyoung to make you some porridge. He's on his way to your house with the ingredients." Johnny added.
"You guys didn't have to go through all the trouble. I can handle myself." Haneul pouted.
"Says the girl who couldn't walk from her period cramps." Ten mocked.
"You know what, one more word from you and I will make you feel period cramps." She warned, grabbing her umbrella.
"Ah yes, my child has been growing up. She's getting better at sassing me." Ten joked. He handed her a bag of her favorite gummy bears and a small bouquet of lavenders. "Here, Jaemin said you love these."
"I still wonder where they sell only blue and green gummy bears. Jaemin never told me." Haneul opened the container and opened it, eating two at a time.
"Huh? There's no place that sells it like that. He buys assorted packs and picks through them." Johnny said, shocking the girl. Does he really go through all the hassle for her?
"Do you need to buy anything before we head home? I'll be the one to go out, you just relax in the car." Taeyong offered.
"Can I pay for it?"
"Jaemin and Mark said not to let you pay for anything."
Haneul rolled her eyes at their loyalty to her brother and boyfriend. She thought of anything she needed to do and remembered her upcoming performance.
"Can any of you sew? Do you guys know how to dye hair?" Haneul asked.
Taeyong raised his hand. "I can sew."
"I'll call Yuta and Jungwoo if you're gonna dye your hair." Ten mumbled.
