jihoon spit out his seal designed pacifier and started shouting curses out loud. soonyoung had to stop the car again to shove the teether back to the boy's mouth. but this time, taped it to his cheeks.

"what about you?" soonyoung glared at minghao, who was in shock. he just adorably shook his head like a child. on the other hand, jihoon was stomping his feet and still trying to shout even if he couldn't.

"keep it down or i'll tape your feet together too."

after a while, minghao was already sleeping like a baby and it was like the cutest thing i have seen. jihoon, meanwhile, was still trying to take the tape off his face. and then soonyoung was singing out loud while driving. when we were already near the hospital, a police officer could be seen talking to the drivers and checking the car before letting them in.

"soonyoung, we look like we kidnapped these children," i uttered.

he hurriedly cut off the tape on minghao and jihoon's wrists before we could go next. then he quickly pulled the tape off of jihoon's mouth. "FUCK YOU, THAT HURTS!" the boy screamed.

we were just in time. soonyoung rolled down the car window and smiled at the officer. he got his license checked and then the man took a peek at the backseat, seeing an angelic looking jihoon and a sleeping minghao.

"why is that boy sucking on a pacifier?"

"oh..." soonyoung muttered before smiling wide "he can't sleep without it!"

"and him? is he your son?" the man pointed at jihoon who looked like the nicest child in the world

"is he?" soonyoung asked me

"what? no!" i answered

the officer had a weirded out expression written all over his place before letting us park the vehicle. soonyoung opened the door for me so i could get off while jihoon struggled to open the car door for himself. once we all hopped off, minghao realized that he still has the pacifier so he took it off and gave it to his hyung.

"ewww," soonyoung was surprised when minghao handed him the teether "throw it away, don't give it to me!"

"but you're the dad, so go throw this away yourself," minghao forcefully opened soonyoung's hand and placed it there before making his way inside the hospital.

when we were finally inside the building, waiting for the lift, a huge chubby man stood next to jihoon. and yes, the boy automatically looked like a small child compared to the man beside him. the doors opened and jihoon hurriedly stepped inside to have the corner spot. he didn't expect more people to enter so unfortunately, he was squished by the large man.

minghao and soonyoung were silently laughing at the poor boy. when we got off, jihoon fixed himself and cursed them both.

"hello," seungcheol greeted when he opened the door for us "come in."

chan was on the bed, smiling at us. then i noticed that he was wearing eyeglasses. seungcheol mentioned that the strangulation caused dino's vision to become a little blurry, that's why an ophthalmologist had the boy's eyes checked and now he has his own specs.

"how much are the glasses?" soonyoung asked, looking for his wallet

"oh no worries, doctor kim paid for it." the leader replied. wow, doyoung is so nice, i guess we're really lucky that we met him.

"we're just waiting for the result of chan's tests now," junhui explained "i hope he's fine because the treatment process sounds really painful."

i walked towards the young boy and he waved at me, giving me a cute smile. then i remembered, he's not allowed to speak a lot. i noticed the red faint spots under his eyes which looked like makeup but why the hell would chan wear makeup, right?

"that's the mild petechiae he has, the one doyoung texted you about," seungcheol told me "he said it's minor and it will go away on its own so we don't have to worry."

"it looks like freckles," i chuckled

"yeah he looks cute with it," soonyoung laughed

i sat down on the chair next to the bed to play devil's attorney again but then joshua suddenly walked towards me.

"you shouldn't play that," he said "that game teaches you to lie and defend the blackhearted."

"jisoo it's just a game."

"games can affect your behavior."

"oh please," i sighed "what do you want me to play then?"

"something that won't affect your behavior?"

"like what? this?" i showed him my phone

"hey i already completed that game!" he chuckled "but i'm not telling you to play that. just pick something that isn't devil related."

"you mean daein related?"

"whatever minseul," he shook his head and left while i continued to play the game on my own.

soon after, doyoung came back with a brown envelope in his hands. he smiled at us when he walked in and i hope that he's giving us a good news about chan's health. he walked towards chan and the other boys gathered around.

he explained a few things when he showed us the result of the chest x-ray. something about heart size, air space in his lungs.

"thankfully, we have confirmed that the patient showed no signs of this condition," doyoung happily announced "the only thing we have to watch out for is his larynx problem."

"WOOOOOOOO!!!!!" the boys cheered and jumped around, hugging doyoung. seungcheol and soonyoung were crying tears of joy while seokmin was shaking everyone's shoulders while screaming. later on, everyone else started kissing chan.

"but...what about his bruises?" minghao asked "they're still blue violet and it looks scary."

"oh that," doyoung chuckled "that's normal, dear. it will turn green after a few days and will appear yellowish-brown soon. then you'll know it's healing."

"so, will chan perform with the performance unit on thursday?" jihoon asked

"he can still dance," doyoung answered "but i advise you to not let him sing. and then after the performance, make sure he gets enough water and rest. make sure he changes his clothes also"

chan clapped his hands when he heard that he will still be able to perform. the members of the unit were also happy to know that they'll be complete for their very first performance of lilili yabbay.

"tomorrow, he will be discharged," doyoung announced

"hey what about the bills though? personal checks?" soonyoung asked

"oh the hospital accepts only cash or credit cards for payments. personal checks may be accepted only for initial payments or payment of progress bills during confinement," the doctor explained "please just proceed to the billing office tomorrow."

"ah thank you," soonyoung bowed

"chan's okay so....." mingyu muttered "celebration???"

"no parties," seungcheol answered "until the boy fully recovers."

"there's no need for parties," chan muttered, trying to keep his voice as soft as possible "i'm already happy that you guys are here with me and that i can go back on stage soon."

"aaaaawwwwww."

"oh please," chan covered his face.

i decided to stay overnight with boo, seokmin and soonyoung. i don't even know if it's a good idea to stay with these idiots. good thing, joshua, jihoon, wonwoo and hansol also wanted to stay.

"bye!" seokmin waved goodbye to the other boys when they were about to leave. seungcheol left a few advices about chan's health before leaving. and then voila, we're all left inside the room.

"hey seok," boo called "wanna go with me later?"

"where?"

"to the morgue. i'm going to visit my palm springs backpack mini."

"no one is going to the morgue," wonwoo announced "this isn't a place for strolling around. and seungkwan, i doubt your bag is still in there."

"there you are again with your killjoy ass," seungkwan grouched "i just wanna see a loved one."

"i am a killjoy," wonwoo admitted

"whatever."
