Upon Juyoung running away after proclaiming he would still like Gowoon, and the latter also leaving, Seojun and Miyeon decided it would be an alright time for them to return to their room.

However when they slid the door open, it wasn't the scene they had expected. Rather than it being Suho and Jugyeong, the entire room was filled with boys from school, Chorong and his friends by the Han boy's bed, whilst Taehoon and Hyunkyu were by Suho's.

The Lee boy was looking around nervously, cover pulled right up to his neck. "Han Seojun!" shouts came as the pair entered the ward, Miyeon stepping away with wide eyes as Seojun's friends went over to him and walked him to his bed.

Glancing around the room and not seeing any sign of her friend, Miyeon stared at Suho, mouthing something at him which was only greeted by some hand gestures and shrugging of shoulders.

"Hey Seojun!" Chorong sounded emotional as he hugged his friend. "Are you okay?" Seojun pushed him away, looking somewhat in pain. "That hurts?"

"Han Seojun!" Another one of his friends began, and Miyeon started to wonder if they could begin their sentences any other way. "You look good in a hospital gown."

"That injury is like a medal of honour." A fourth continued in a sing-song voice.

"I was worried about you!" Chorong exploded and sounded even more upset before. "I had no appetite."

"Hey! You had no appetite because you never stop eating." The Han boy cut him off, nose wrinkling and his friends laughed.

"Excuse me!" There was an awful lot of shouting going on, and Miyeon almost jumped out of her skin when Taehoon (who was a lot closer to where she was stood) joined in. "Can you guys keep it down? Don't you see that sign? You're not alone here."

Hyunkyu managed to break Suho's plant, and Miyeon decided it would be best for her to remain as hidden away as possible from the boys as Seojun's friends pulled his underwear out of the bag around his neck and put them on their head.

For a while, the room was a rowdy mess. Seojun's gang of friends were loud, wanted to order chicken and all crowded around his bed eating snacks. Taehoon and Hyunkyu weren't any better, fussing over Suho like they were his mom. And trying to block this out best she could, Miyeon began to wonder just where Jugyeong had disappeared to.

Finally, Seojun stood up and looked around at them. "Guys. Leave, all of you." He instructed.

"Why? I'm sleeping here tonight." Chorong replied.

"We have to nurse you through the night!" Another shouted, before chants of 'loyalty' began to rise.

"Hey!" Miyeon shouted from the sofa, and disturbed by the sudden female voice, they all spun around. "I'm already sleeping here tonight."

"And where would you sleep even if she wasn't here?"Seojun continued, ignoring the reaction that came from the boys finding out she was there. "Think of your size."

"Yes, leave already." Taehoon joined the mix. "You're so loud and you're disturbing Suho."

"You leave too, please." Suho replied, although that didn't get a good response out of Hyunkyu and Taehoon.

But finally, after a lot of complaining and rushing people out - and an odd amount of comments on Seojun wishing to be alone with Suho - it was the boys being told that Yeo Hajin was filming in the lobby that got them to leave.

Seojun followed them out, and taking one look at Suho pulling the covers off of him and Jugyeong emerging out of the covers, Miyeon got up to leave. But with a squeak from the Im girl, she was already rushing out.

"So that's where you hid her." Miyeon realised with a nod of her head, settling back down on the sofa. There was a pause, before she sat up. "I'm sorry I really have to ask - what on earth we're you doing that had her under there?"

"What?" Suho asked, turning pink. "Nothing - nothing, just all the people came in and she doesn't want people finding out that we're dating."

"Hm.. whatever you say." Miyeon shrugged, reaching for her book once more and pulling her blanket over her knees.

The evening only got later, and it seemed to be a replica of the night before; Miyeon sat on the sofa, Seojun in his bed and Suho sitting by the open window.

"Are you planning on going to school tomorrow?" Suho asked, shifting his gaze from the dark sky to the girl beside him. "Or going hone, perhaps?"

"No.. not yet. Maybe after tomorrow. But in the morning Eunjoo is bringing me some food.. I couldn't really get myself to eat the hospital food." Miyeon put down her book, sitting up. "I guess I can't stomach it anymore."

"You were in before?" Seojun asked, suddenly sitting up rather straight. Suho's gaze flickered from Miyeon to the other boy.

"You haven't told him yet?" The Lee boy asked, clearly in disbelief over the situation.

"What haven't you told me?" Seojun pressed, sitting up. "And why does he know and not me?"

"Because I didn't want to worry you." Miyeon retorted. "No - there was just one time that I.. hadn't eat a lot and fainted at practise. You weren't in that day.. but Seyeon and Suho were. That's why I disappeared for a week or so, I was in here."

"But I thought you were sick with the flu?" Seojun's eyes flashed. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I knew you would react like this." Miyeon shrugged. "Either way, I was monitored and I had to eat and after a few days I felt sick looking at the food and Eunjoo came in to give me it."

The revelation wasn't exactly surprising to either of them. Miyeon had struggled with poor eating habits for a long time, but it was shocking to hear that she had been hospitalised for it. The conversation came to a close then, and barely anything was said between them.

Suho moved over to his bed after closing the window and they settled down for the night. "I'll turn off the lights." Miyeon suggested, slipping out from under her blanket. "And sorry if I ruined the mood at all, I didn't think it was going to come up at all."

"Mhm.. it's fine." Suho mumbled, half asleep.

Seojun was still awake though, and in the small amount of light that came from the hallway, Miyeon saw him sit up. "I.. I don't want you to feel like you can't talk to me because I worry." He said, as Miyeon passed his bed and she stopped in her tracks.

"I know." She replied, turning to him. "Just was just so much going on that I thought that you worrying over that wouldn't be good. Goodnight Seojun."

"Night Miyeon." Came her reply as she settled down on the sofa, head balanced on the pillow and blanket covering her form.

It was no surprise that Miyeon's sleep came quickly - even if she didn't do a lot in the day, it was still quite a tiring environment. But unlike the precious night, it wasn't dreamless. Instead, flashes of good and bad memories sifted through the darkness, waking her at several points.

But the final time she woke was in the morning, and instead of her dreams waking her, it was voices.

"She's been here the entire time. Can you not convince her to go home? She'll listen to you."

"Trust me, she is not going anywhere. Besides, she'll listen to you too. Or in this case, neither of us."

"I'm not going anywhere." Miyeon groaned, rubbing her eyes as she sat up, blinking in the morning light. "So you feed each other breakfast now?" Her eyebrows were raised at the sight of the scene, covering her mouth as she yawned.

"I can't use my hand. And I doubt you would feed me anything." Seojun replied, looking bitterly over at her. "Trust me, I'd rather have anyone else doing it."

"i would offer, but you're almost done and it's nice to not see you fighting." Stretching, Miyeon reached to take her phone off of charge, glancing at the time. "Oh.. Eunjoo said she would be here soon." She murmured, jumping up and pulling a set of clean clothes out of her bag. But something else fell out of it, making the first pause.

"Is that your lyric book?" Suho asked, peering over at it. He was yet to see it, the other two in the room having seen it once again on several situations.

"It is.. I didn't realise this had been packed." Miyeon picked it up and placed it on the table. "Maybe I could work on some lyrics later? I've almost finished my book."

"I'll help you." Seojun said through a mouthful of food, instantly receiving looks from Suho and Miyeon. "What? I'm bored out of my mind."

"Suho? Do you want to help?" The Hwang girl asked, picking up her clothes and heading towards the bathroom, waiting by the door.

"I'm fine. I'm feeling a bit tired, so after Eunjoo has come then I'll take a nap." Suho replied.

And with their plans set in place for yet another day in the hospital, Seojun and Suho let it finally sink in that Miyeon would not be going anywhere, no matter what happened.
