The hotel room is dim, lit only by the glow of your phone screen. Outside, the distant hum of a city you've never seen fades into the background. You're tucked under a blanket, still weak from the fever that kept you from the stage. The FaceTime call buzzes, and when you answer, eight faces crowd the frame, still in their performance outfits, sweat glistening under arena lights. Hongjoong leans in first, voice soft: "Hey, how have you been?" Then Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung, Jongho—all firing questions, their concern palpable. San's eyes are the softest when he whispers, "I miss you a lot." The silence after hangs heavy, waiting for your answer. you.
