Now, Guri has left the bathroom— sulking, probably— leaving Wooyoung with a fresh scratch mark on his left cheek down to his jaw. And it stung so bad. Poor Wooyoung who's now wincing in pain while Seonghwa rushed to grab the first-aid kit somewhere in the bathroom cabinets.

"Note to self, not everyone or everything likes getting certain affections." Wooyoung was pouting, feeling betrayed as he held a clean towel pressed on his scratch to stop the bleeding.

Seonghwa could only chuckle in amusement at the younger one who's checking out the wound in the toilet mirror next to him. It was worst than just a scratch because it was deep. "That will totally leave a scar," He said while taking out cotton balls, disinfectant cream, and a plaster.

Wooyoung rolled his eyes, "Oh, yeah. Thanks for pointing it out." Note the sarcasm.

He groaned in frustration and then his hand that's holding the towel was tugged away by Seonghwa, surprising Wooyoung for a bit at the cold touch on his. The older began to treat the scratch by cleaning it first with warm water and then applying a disinfectant cream afterwards. Wooyoung stayed still as he felt the finger rubbing on his skin gently, flinching at the pain ever so slightly. But he felt a strangely comforting feeling having the oldest treating his wound when he clearly could've done it himself.

But that's who Seonghwa is; a caring member of the group who always looks out for each other.

Throughout the treatment, Wooyoung had kept his eyes at the older, watching him who had his focused sights at Wooyoung's wound while he carefully and delicately treated it. Having Seonghwa this close to his face was making Wooyoung's insides flutter and he tried so badly not to let his blood rush to his cheeks.

"I guess Guri's owner hasn't been cutting her nails. This scratch is quite deep, it's concerning..."

Seonghwa's words disturbed the younger out of his train of thoughts as he opened a plaster to put it on the scratch mark. "It hurts. I never knew it would hurt this bad." Wooyoung uttered to keep his mind from wandering again. He was enjoying Seonghwa's touch on his cheek when the finger suddenly left, alerting Wooyoung that the treatment had ended.

"It's done. If you feel the pain getting worst, then it might be an infection because of a cat scratch disease. You should see a doctor then." Seonghwa went to tidy up the first-aid equipment back into the kit and put it into the cabinets.

Wooyoung nodded in return and muttered, "Thanks, hyung. I've troubled you yet again." He felt guilty again that morning.

"Wooyoung, it's okay."

Seonghwa turned to face the other whose eyes staring at the bathroom tiles. "You're just feeling tired because you didn't sleep at all last night." He added to calm the younger who replied, "Yeah, I guess. But still... I owe you a lot."

"Glad you realize that now. You can treat me to a meal later. Would that make you feel better?" Seonghwa watched the younger's sleepy eyes lit back up.

"Yes, it would. Thanks again, hyung." Wooyoung grinned and yawned instantly, his body was about to give out at any moment because of lack of rest. "And this is where you go to sleep. Let's go now." Seonghwa helped to lead him by his shoulders out of the bathroom. "I wonder where Guri went?" He asked and just by saying that name out loud, the cat appeared at their feet, looking up as if she's expecting something.

"There she is."

Seonghwa smiled contently at the small animal but Wooyoung had the opposite reaction. "Guri is not a good girl anymore. Guri is a bad girl." He scolded the cat but the animal went to caress her body between Wooyoung's legs as an act of saying sorry. She let out a meow and Wooyoung couldn't stay mad anymore, so he let out a sigh. "You'll never get away with this."
