As I walked down the stairs, my focus was all over the place. It felt like my brain was splitting into two, creating a throbbing headache as a result. 

And as another result, my feet tripped over the steep stairs.

"Ah-" The rush of falling brought me back to my senses, temporarily cutting me off from the pain.

Thud.

As I lay on the stairs, I could hear Hwaryun coming down.

"(Y/N)!"

I struggled to get up, my fingers grasping at the railings. "Tch."

Hwaryun looked at me with concern, bringing out a medicine bottle. "Here. Take one of these every time you have a headache." 

"Huh?"

"The higher-ups thought this would happen, so they told me to bring you some medicine to help."

A pause came before my agreement, slowly reaching out for the medicine bottle. "How nice of them." 

Hwaryun smiled at that, showing a softer side to her. 

As I downed a tablet, my mind instantly felt better. "...thanks Hwaryun." 

"Just doing my job."

I heard another person coming up the stairs, and I turned to see Ehwa. "I heard a huge sound...(Y/N) are you ok?" 

I shouldn't tell her. It's better for everyone not to worry about me. 

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just got a splitting headache, and then I tripped. I'm okay now." 

"You sure...?" 

"Yes." I stood up, ignoring the sharp pain I felt in my ankle.

Darn it...I sprained it. I'll have to look at it later.

But it turns out I overestimated how much my body could take.

I nearly fell down again, and I would've if not for Hwaryun. "(Y/N), don't overexert yourself. Did you sprain your ankle?" 

I quickly shoved Hwaryun away from me, grabbing onto the railing instead. "Yes, I'm fine, I just haven't regained my balance yet."

Ehwa glared at me, climbing up the stairs. "I don't believe that for one second." She grabbed my hand, supporting me as I walked downward. "Here, we'll look at it later. Let's get back to the others." 

She quickly walked down, and I was basically dragged along. "Hey, do you know that red-haired girl? Who is she?" Ehwa whispered to me, making sure that Hwaryun couldn't hear us. 

"She's just a friend from the test floor. It's a long story that I'd rather not explain." 

Ehwa looked worriedly at me and Hwaryun, promising herself that she'd find out more. "...Alright."

As Ehwa set me down on the waiting bench, shoving Wangnan off. "Hey!!" Both me and Ehwa ignored him, and Hwaryun stood around.
