_____________________________________

With our TXT Sunbaes, we were having a picnic. We all agreed that after such a long week, we deserved a great picnic in beautiful surroundings. We were already on our way.

Jungwon, Jake, Sunoo, and I were in the car. I was in last place, with Jungwon just behind me. As he slept, his head rested on my shoulder. He hadn't had enough sleep in the previous few days, and he was definitely exhausted.

When we arrived at the venue, TXT was already present. It was the first time we went out without being followed by cameras. It was a pleasant experience.

"Dongsaengs!!" They screamed, and we yelled back, 'Sunbaes!!'

"It's fantastic to see you guys again," I said as we all walked around giving embraces to one another, Soobin spoke.

I was walking towards Taehyun when I heard a loud scream in my ear, which caused me to collapse and shake. Soon after, laughter erupted.

"Yah! That is correct.

"But it's fun." He laughed

"Oppa, I might get hearing problems and you're going to pay for my bills Beomgyu-ssi." I sassed walking towards Taehyun who gave me a big hug.

"Hello little one, are you okay?" He asked slightly ruffling my hair that was in a cliche messy bun.

"I'm good, are you?"

"A lot better now that all of you are here." He smiled brightly before pulling me to the picnic area.

During the picnic, Beomgyu made it his exclusive job to annoy me which he successfully did. I stayed next to Hyuka most of the time and occasionally ran after Beomgyu when he would do something to me. My Oppas just watched in amusement.

Eventually, Yeonjun stepped in pulling me away from Beomgyu after I had grabbed him and tried to tackle him to the ground before putting me over his shoulder.

"This is so unfair, just because you're older, taller, and stronger doesn't mean you can pick me up like a rag doll." I muttered

"Then if you get stronger we could switch places." He said cheekily

"Highly unlikely." I rolled my eyes before he dropped me in Jungwon's arms

"Oh hello." I said

"Hi.' he replied

"Whatcha up to?"

"Nothing much, what about you?"

"Same." We looked at each other for a while before we started laughing. the other guys looked at us an d smiled.

"We are so jobless." He says putting me down

"We really are."

Towards the ending of the picnic I fell asleep on Beomgyu after he had annoyed me once again and I caught him making him my pillow for the day. I was exhausted and just wanted to rest so I used him to my advantage and sleep.

----------------------------------

The next morning we got ready Blood Music Bank to cover Boy In Luv. We had been practicing for a while not only that, this would be our second time performing it. The first time was during the online concert.

We got ready and went to the venue.

"Oppa, I'm tired." I said leaning onto Heeseung while he trailed his fingers in my hair.

"Well you've been working a lot, maybe that's why you feel so tired." He said softly

"That's true Hayoon-ah, you've been overworking yourself." Jungwon said from the seat in front of me. We were four in the car including Jay who was sleeping.

"Maybe after the performance, you should get some sleep." Heeseung suggested

"Alright *yawn* that sounds like a good idea." I slowly started to close my eyes before drifting into sleep.

————————

We finished the performance and went back home. I took a shower and actually considered falling asleep but knowing me I'd just be tossing and turning on the bed. I stood up and found Sunoo in the living room curled up into a ball. It was dark but I knew it was him, I slowly approached him only to find him crying?

"Sunoo Oppa? Are you okay?" I whispered as I sat beside him giving him a tight hug.

"Everything is getting too much, I haven't eaten anything in days, I'm so tired too. Engenes keep saying I gained weight but I don't know anymore, did I gain weight?" He ranted trying to keep his breathing stable, I felt so bad for him cause I knew he tries so hard

"You'll be fine, I'm so sorry you're going through this." I let him soak my shirt or rather Heeseung's stolen shirt with tears as I ran my hands through his hair.

"It's so unfair because it's not only me but also you too." I closed my eyes slightly breathing out

"Don't worry about me love, mine is just temporary. It will leave eventually and yours will too." After that I just continued to comfort him until he calmed down. It was now roughly 2 am and we were talking about the most random things.

"So you can see ghosts?" I asked him

"Yeah, I realised when I was a kid. There were a lot of times when we would do V Lives and there would be some. Even when I'm walking alone in the company too. it gets creepy sometimes."

"I'm creeped out right now but not too much, my brother watches a ton of horror movies so I don't think I'm that scared."

"It gets scary sometimes."

"Then I'll never leave your side." I stood up and pulled him towards my room letting him lay down next to me as we looked at my ceiling that was covered with glow in the dark paint which made it look like space.

"Go to sleep Sunoo-ssi, we have a lot to do tomorrow."

I am so sorry for the shitty chapter, I've been rushing them because I know it'll be a lot for me when they have this comeback (Dimension: Dilemma) which I am very excited about. I hope you liked it because I really do have a lot in store for Aria.
