When you and the members arrive home and  get out of the van single file, you run up to the door with your hand over your mouth. You dig in your pocket for the house key and the second you unlock the door and open it, you run inside and go upstairs, making a break for the bathroom.

"Y/N!" Yeosang calls, stumbling inside and running after you.

"Seonghwa, can you tell us what happened back there or do you-" Hongjoong starts, only to be interrupted by Seonghwa running upstairs with his face buried into the bag in his hands.

"Hongjoong, go with him!" Jongho exclaims, pointing upstairs.

"Right, Pup's in charge until we come back!" Hongjoong exclaims, before running after the older. The second Hongjoong is out of eye's sight, the rest of the members look over at a nervous smiling Yunho before they all pounce on him.

"I should be making y'all clean the dorm after this." Seonghwa grumbles, as he massages his temples and slouches in his seat.

"No! We're sorry, we didn't know!" Mingi exclaims, looking over at the older with the best puppy eyes he could muster.

"I know y'all didn't but y'all really messed up. Also, Mingi, puppy eyes don't work on me so don't even try it." Seonghwa says, sprawling out on the couch and resting his head on the sofa's arm rest.

"Here, take this. It'll help settle your stomach." Yunho says, walking into the living room and handing Seonghwa a pill and glass of water.

"Thank, pup." Seonghwa mumbles, giving Yunho's hair a little ruffle, causing the younger to giggle the slightest.

Seonghwa gets up and looks down at the pill in his hand for a few seconds before he sets the small tablet on the back of his tongue, chugging the water down his throat when the unpleasant taste dissolves on his taste buds. After the pill gets in his stomach, he gags the slightest and covers his mouth, staring at the floor for a bit.

"You alright?..." Yunho asks, resting his hand on the older's shoulder worriedly. Seonghwa nods his head and he starts to chug the remaining water that's in the glass before setting it down on the table next to him.

"Would you like me to make you some ramen, Seonghwa?" Wooyoung asks.

"No, it's fine. It wouldn't be fair to the rest and I would die tonight if you made me some." Seonghwa reassures, sprawling out on the couch again.

"Okay, umm... Hongjoong, get Seonghwa some food while I go get Y/N and Yeosang." Yunho orders, already on his way upstairs.

Hongjoong nods his head before he runs to the kitchen and just as Yunho starts walking up the staircase, he makes eye contact with Yeosang who's coming downstairs.

Both boys look at each other for a little bit before Yunho reaches his hand out towards the younger and brings him downstairs. He drags Yeosang to the living room and all the members look up at the two of them, a mixture of emotions being sent their way.

"Where's Y/N? Is she alright?" Jongho asks, sitting up and sending the older a worried look.

"She told me to leave her alone. She doesn't feel very well so I left. When I went to go back into her room, her door was locked. Now I don't really know what to do." Yeosang explains, rubbing his nape as he looks down at the floor. Wooyoung pats the seat next to him and Yeosang glances at him before he walks over to the younger.

"Now I feel bad... I should've spoken up..." Yeosang mumbles, situating himself next to Wooyoung and leaning his head against his shoulder.

"No, no, no. It's not your fault. We should've listened to you. We're sorry, Yeosang." San apologizes, moving closer to the two who are huddled together. San rests his hand on Yeosang's thigh and the second he starts to massage it, the older boy bursts into fits of giggles and swats San's hand away. The younger gives Yeosang a cheeky smile before he lightly pats the back of his head.

"Look, we'll think of a way to get her out and apologize. But first, we'll wait to see if she will come out on her own before we start thinking of a plan." Yunho reassures, lightly patting Yeosang's shoulder and running towards a panicking Hongjoong in the kitchen.

~~~~~

After hours of the guys waiting to see if you would come out of your room, they end up giving up when the sun starts setting. They all start to walk to the kitchen and crowd around the island to concoct a plan on getting you out of your room. Yeosang pulls up a chair up next to Jongho and sits down so he could rest his head on the cold island in front of him, his eyes shutting as the cool countertop soothes him.

Wooyoung glances over at the older and looks up at San, patting his hands gently to get his attention. The latter looks down at him and Wooyoung does a little gesture towards Yeosang, causing the older to nod and release the younger from his hold.

Wooyoung walks over to Yeosang as the members start exchanging ideas on how to get you out of your bedroom. Wooyoung carefully brings Yeosang into a back hug and the older doesn't hesitate to lean back against him.

"You feeling alright?" Wooyoung asks worriedly, as he looks down at him.

"I'm worried and hungry." Yeosang mumbles.

"Would you like me to make you something to eat? It can be your favorite." Yeosang shakes his head and the younger frowns before he rests his chin on top of the older's head."Well, It'll be okay, promise. We'll get her out of there sooner or later." Wooyoung reassures, lightly patting Yeosang's stomachs a few times.

"What if we scare her out?" Mingi asks, looking around at the members,  who look at him a little suspiciously.

"She'll hit you over the head with a book if you scare her." Yeosang says, while glancing over at Mingi. "She doesn't like it when people frighten her."

"No, what I mean is..." Mingi starts, "We yell that Yeosang or one of the members got hurt, we don't know what to do so we call her down, and she comes out and checks on that specific member."

"Then, we can talk to her about what happened and apologize!" Jongho adds, a little smile creeping onto his lips as he looks over at the older.

"Good idea Min!" Yunho exclaims, giving Mingi a high five.

"I say we make it seem like Yeosang got hurt. He wanted to help Wooyoung make dinner and he accidentally cut himself pretty deep. She'll come running down." San suggests.

"Why can't I just do it for real? She gets mad when I joke about stuff like this." Yeosang asks, raising his hand to his mouth to bite onto his nails.

"So you're actually gonna cut yourself?" Wooyoung asks, looking down at the older with slightly widened eyes.

"I mean... I can..." Yeosang mumbles, shrugging slightly.

"Yeosang, don't hurt yourself. There's no need to." Seonghwa says, shuffling over to the younger and pulling his hand away from his mouth.

"It's not like I'll do it on purpose. I've cut myself multiple times while helping Wooyoung make y'all food before, hence some of the red liquid in some of the food. Anyways, it'll be fine." Yeosang reassures, while looking up at the rest who look at him wide-eyed. A faint giggle escapes the boy's lips and he leans more into Wooyoung's embrace as he looks up at him.

"You sure?" Wooyoung asks while raising an eyebrow at him, the uneasy feeling refusing to leave him.

"Yeah, come on. Let's make dinner." Yeosang replies, slipping off the chair and guiding Wooyoung deeper into the kitchen.
