mentions of period

Misaki'd never had a strict diet placed on her — the girl was naturally thin, and the staff members loved her too much to try and "fix" her like other idols usually have to.

but somehow, in someway, her period had decided to become dangerously irregular— Mia missing it for nearly six months at a time. she'd talked to Ara and her mom about the issue, and the two could only conclude it'd been caused thanks to the enormous amounts of pressure she frequently put herself under.

and it wasn't like she could disagree— she knew deep in her heart they were correct, as much as she'd want to deny it.

and that's where she was today— rolled into a tight ball on the floor of her preferred dance studio as a birth-like pain ripped through her lower torso and back.

she ridiculed herself for not having come prepared— she had gotten pains in her knees so bad she'd been nearly unable to walk that morning, why didn't she just connect the dots? she wouldn't have been feeling the urge to yell from the innermost pit of her stomach in her place of employment if she had.

YeonJun paused mid-move, feeling a nasty feeling in his heart. the boy often called it his Mia meter.

he was quick to retreive his towel, wiping his face before leaving towards the room she'd been scheduled to be in for the next three hours.

he softly knocked on the door, leaning against it. "Mi? are you in there, love?"

the boy backed away as he heard faint footsteps slowly making their way towards the door from inside the room— the grey barricade moving backwards as the girl came into view.

"oh, Gou.. what happened? are you okay?"

she let a weak smile show on her lips before she shook her head, pitifully looking at the boy before clutching her stomach yet again.

YeonJun was quick to gently wrap his arms around her weakened frame, the girl letting herself fall limp once in his hold. "did it come?" he asked in the softest voice imaginable, immediately feeling a nod come from the girl.

"do you wanna go home?"

another nod.

YeonJun could only return the gesture, as to not disturb Mia with loud noises. he sat the girl down, quietly shuffling around the room as he shut off all the appliances she'd barely gotten to use.

Mia kept her head lowered as she clutched her stomach, wishing all pain to go away.

"Gou.. can you stand up for me?" the male spoke, holding both of their bags on his shoulder as he stood over the girl.

she gently nodded, eyes still shut in pain as she shakily stood from the bench. Mia felt around, making sure she was holding onto the eldest's bicep. "oppa.." she meekly spoke, the boy's head snapping to look at the girl.

"i know, Mi.. i'm sorry. just a little more, okay?"

the girl leaned her head on YeonJun's shoulder as she let out a small grunt, feeling the pain as yet another contraction-like cramp ripped through her internal being.

what a time to be a girl.

as if he'd been called, Mia's best friend made his way down the hallway, stopping directly in front of the doorway her and YeonJun were stopped in front of. "Mari? what's wrong?" he asked in the most gentle voice possible— his own mia meter going off inside his head, the invisible alarm letting him know she wasn't feeling well.

"let's get her down to the van, okay Gyu?" was all YeonJun said before BeomGyu nodded, taking a bag from the eldest's shoulders to help. the two walked downstairs, the eldest still carrying Mia. she couldn't help but to feel guilty, yet she couldn't do anything about it. she was in too much pain.

it'd always felt embarassing to get her period, especially when she'd barely joined the lineup. she was never honest, only spending time with them when it was absolutely necessary— other than that, she'd only be found in the besties' offices.

during blue hour era was the time the boys finally got to experience their first menstrual cycle with the female member. the five were all extremely cautious at first, unknowing of what to or not do. they were lost until the besties knocked on their door, handing them lists of all they needed to know.

the lists included what she liked, disliked, would hate you for, would love you for, would kick at, would cry at, would throw up at, would want, would need, and would throw. the boys nearly fell to their knees in gratefulness.

YeonJun made sure to text the leader on their way to the van, along with the besties, to take Mia back to the dorm. the eldest let SooBin know what was happening, and to refer to the list in case he'd forget one of their usual purchases during the first two days of her cycle.

but he never did.

yeah — they took this way too serious.

JiSu drove at a nearly speeding pace to try and get their princess to the dorm before she exploded. "Su you know you can slow dow-" she began, but was cut off by the older.

"shut up. im getting you home in record time."

"you're the only one with the record!"

sure enough, the usually 10 minute drive turned into four, and Mia was being carried through the door in no time.

she couldn't help but to face BeomGyu's chest, gently taking in his cologned scent in order to help calm her rapidly beating heart.

the younger middle child slowly layed her on her bed, placing a small kiss on her forehead. "hyung will be here soon with your bag, try and sleep for a bit, okay?"

she only nodded, the pillows and blankets accompanied by the dark room causing Misaki to feel sleepy. BeomGyu smiled as he watched her eyes slowly flutter shut, quietly leaving the room after he was sure she'd fallen into slumber.
