"Is it just me or is Khun mae in an awfully bad mood? She didn't even let us have a time out" Copter asked the rest of them who all shrugged.
"She must be having a hard time handling all the events and promotions, what with Tee out" Kimmon told them.
"I wonder when will P'Tee be back. It's so boring without him and his pranks" Bas smiled sadly.
"Yeah, he keeps P'Jane busy too with chasing him around all day, she forgets to breathe fire on the rest of us" Kimmon laughed, joined by the other three while Tae looked down, imagining that loud boy hopping around or getting his ears twisted by their manager.
"Let's all agree, he's still khun mae's favorite son. She's always in a good mood when he's around" Copter said and the decided to tease Tae. "Right P'Tae? She plays favorite with P'Tee doesn't she?"
"P'Tae plays favorite with P'Tee too" Bas chipped in.
Tae looked at Copter's face. "I'm not quite sure how favorite he is to anyone at the moment"
Copter gawked at Tae for what he said. It was Kimmon who asked him. "What do you mean P?"
"Huh.. she's neck deep in trouble because of his sudden leave" Tae pointed at Janean who stood a little far from them, talking on phone. "All our schedules are disturbed, Bas had to step in over night to compensate for his absence and we all are tired because of our packed schedules. We even lost an endorsement because he was enjoying holiday in Chiang Mai--"
"Do you even know what he's going through?" Kimmon asked quietly, he clearly looked angry.
"P'Tae.." Bas interrupted him. "I did not mind helping out P'Tee and the MV is a success, it was a win-win for me"
"That snack company wanted only Tee, that's why they had to be let go, none of us lost anything" Kimmon added. "And ofcourse our schedules are disturbed, one of our own is extremely sick, what the hell is the matter with you"
Copter was still quite, he sat on the far most corner of the couch with his face turned towards Tae, far enough to see not only Tae but also the person standing behind the wall facing the other side of the couch. A moment later he stood up and walked out, almost in a daze.
"Copter! Can you see if you find Tee outside somewhere? He's supposed to be here a while ago, I'm afraid he's still not well" Janean called him. Everyone looked up at the mention of Tee's name. He gave her a thumbs up and walked out.
Tae blinked. Tee's coming to work? But he was so sick...

A/n: Tee here is going through a depressive disorder, where he's always having weird ideas like people hate him, or that they might be talking behind his back, that everyone is fed up with him, his fears are all real and they are there, no matter how much he knows that his friends of family love him, that his fans love him, he can't help the overthinking. Gastric pain is also a stress symptom here, the major his stress, the more his condition worsens. Most people think it's all a state of mind but stress and depression, it's an illness, just like any other illness, it also needs treatment and it takes a toll on person's mental and physical health like it's doing to Tee. It does not help that he gets to see his worst fears come true and that at the hands of someone close to him.
