*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

"That must be Donghyuck," says Sicheng to Jungwoo and Jaemin, who had all been waiting in Jaemin's bedroom for Donghyuck to arrive. Sicheng gets up and opens the door for him. "Welcome back-" his voice stops when he sees the state that Donghyuck is in.

"Hi Sicheng," Donghyuck gives a small smile to Sicheng and walks in, "Hi guys."

"Oh my," says Jungwoo as his eyes widen looking at Donghyuck.

Jaemin runs over to Hyuck and gasps, "what did they do to you?!" He tries to touch his arm but the pain is so strong it makes Hyuck pull away. "Donghyuck, was this Ten?" Jaemin asks softly, his voice almost breaking looking at him.

Donghyuck nods and goes to sit down on a chair. The other three watch with worry as they see him struggling to even get comfortable, his whole body killing him.

"This is the worst I've seen you, Donghyuck. You must have done something really bad," says Sicheng.

"Yeah, I guess I did," he sighs, "it doesn't look that bad though, does it?" he pulls a cute face for the others making them smile gently at him.

"It's not even noticeable," says Jungwoo sarcastically. "So, what's happened then?"

Donghyuck explains the situation briefly to them before coming to the important decision he has to make, "they've given me two options. I can either stay a deity and not go back to Earth or remain on Earth and not come back here."

"So which one are you picking?" asks Sicheng.

"Well, I do want to keep my Title so much, but I do also want to stay on Earth. I mean, that is the reason I asked for extra time after all."

"You really are stupid, you know?" says Jaemin, not looking at Hyuck.

"Huh?"

Jaemin turns and looks at Donghyuck. His eyes were welling up with tears and his voice was thick, "You really are stupid."

"Jaemin, I don't-"

"You're really gonna pick Earth over here?" he signals to the boys next to him, "over all of us?? Over me?! Your brother?!?"

Hyuck's mouth rests open in shock as he sees the emotion and pain pouring over Jaemin.

"YOU'RE REALLY JUST GONNA LEAVE ME HERE ALONE?! WHO AM I GONNA HAVE AS MY PARTNER?!"

Jaemin storms over to Hyuck.

"DID YOU EVEN CONSIDER HOW I MIGHT FEEL?! YOU LEAVING HERE FOREVER AND ME NOT EVER BEING ABLE TO SEE YOU AGAIN?! I'LL BE HEARTBROKEN!"

"Jaemin, calm down," says Jungwoo's soft voice from behind him.

"DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED I WAS WHEN THEY FIRST GAVE YOU THAT TITLE?! I WAS PETRIFIED FOR YOU! I COULDN'T SLEEP! WHEN YOU CAME BACK FOR YOUR REPORT I WAS SO HAPPY, BUT WHEN YOU LEFT AGAIN I FELT LIKE- LIKE I HAD LOST A PART OF MYSELF!" Jaemin's voice gets choked up, "DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE?! TO LOSE A PART OF YOURSELF?!"

Hyuck looks down and nods, "I do..." he says, remembering how hurt he felt when Taeil left.

"YOU MAKE ME SO FUCKING WORRIED DONGHYUCK! BECAUSE YOU'RE MORE INNOCENT THEN THE OTHERS, I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE ARE GONNA TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU!"

"Jaemin, I didn't know you felt like this..." says Donghyuck, feeling the waves of guilt go over him.

"I LOVE YOU, DONGHYUCK! YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND! I-, I-," Jaemin's voice gets louder and more uncontrollable as he feels his whole body succumbing to his emotions. His eyes that were flooded with tears now turned pitch black and seemed to stare at Donghyuck, pleading with him.

"Jaemin! You need to calm down," says Sicheng as he walks up to Jaemin. He notices a weird black aura around him and when he touches his skin it's ice cold.

"DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED YOU MAKE ME WHEN I SEE THE FIRSTS BEATING YOU AND SCOLDING YOU LIKE THIS?!" shouts Jaemin, the intense emotions still rising in his body.

Donghyuck can't even form a word. Never has he seen Jaemin in this state before. His ears almost block out the noise of Jaemin's screams as the two others pull him away to calm down. His eyes widen as he sees a dark glowing hue engulf Jaemin and begin to enlarge into the room around them. The other two let go of Jaemin, their hands almost freezing touching him, and quickly back away.

Donghyuck is not able to move or speak; he doesn't know what to do! But he manages to hear a faint calling of his name. As he looks to the scared Jungwoo and Sicheng in the corner, they point to Jaemin and tell him what to do.

He remembers what Jaemin did when he was in this situation. As the room is engulfed with freezing blackness, Donghyuck limps forward and tries to navigate to find Jaemin. When he feels his icy skin against his warm fingertips he engulfs him in the strongest hug he can do, ignoring his own injuries. He hugs hard, really hard, his skin almost giving Donghyuck a freeze burn. But still, he continues to hold him, and eventually, he feels Jaemin hold him back.

The darkness of the room seems to fade and as the light comes back, the two in the corner can see Donghyuck and Jaemin hugging tightly on the floor.

"Donghyuck~," Jaemin cries into his shoulder, "please, don't leave me~ you promised me you'd stay~"
