Love Conquers All? (StrayTEEZ Fanfic)

The Visit

Jongho's POV:

We got done with our last concert last night so we're super excited to go visit Stray Kids this morning. We heard about Han and Lee Know drowning, but they're not in critical condition anymore so we are able to go visit them.

I watch as Yeosang and Wooyoung start roughhousing and all I do is roll my eyes as I walk past them looking unbothered. "Ah ah ah ah ah!! That hurts. Yield!!" I hear him exclaim which now catches my attention cause I don't want anyone hurting my baby. I turn back to see him limping while Wooyoung walks up next to him with a hand on his back asking, "You okay? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to go overboard."

Yeosang feigns a smile and hums while nodding, but I know he's not being genuine so I walk up to them which startles him. Wooyoung just stares in astonishment as I effortlessly scoop up Yeosang bridal style and walk away with him without a word. San walks up to him and embraces his pouty self. Wooyoung buries his face into San's neck. "It's okay," I hear San console him.

Yeosang hugs onto me very securely with arms around my neck and his head resting on my shoulder, "Thank you, babe," he says sincerely catching the other members' attentions. I don't even give them the time of day as I sit at our designated waiting area bringing him down with me but not releasing him.

"Which one?" I ask him as I examine his feet. He raises the injured foot pointing to his ankle. I take his shoe and sock off and notice the redness now surrounding his ankle. I sigh anxiously as I press around the site. He jumps a few times, but lets me do what's necessary while he scoots a bit to lay down on his back on the cushioned seat leaving his injured foot on my lap. Mingi walks up to me Yunho tailing him. He hands me a numbing cream while Yunho holds up an ankle wrap and brace for Yeosang that they got from the staff.

"How many times do I have to tell you to be careful when you're roughhousing with Wooyoung? He's a lot stronger than he'd like to believe," I scold him earning a chortle from both Yunho and Mingi.

"That's so true," Yunho mumbles trying not to interrupt our conversation.

"I know I know. We were just goofing around I didn't think I'd get hurt in the process..." He expresses regretfully pouting.

Hongjoong and Seonghwa approaches us while Hongjoong asks, "Who did what?"

"No, appa... w-we were just p-playing around. I swear!" Yeosang defends anxiously.

I look up at Hongjoong hyung involuntarily cringing from the strong mint-scented cream while massaging it onto Yeosang's wounded ankle. Hongjoong squeezes my shoulder gratefully smiling down at me the moment our gazes meet. I nod understanding what he's trying to say, "I said we should be careful while we're here, didn't I?" Hongjoong scolds Wooyoung who's now hiding behind a protective San with his back to us (Yeosang, Yunho, Mingi and I) then continues to say, "We're supposed to be visiting sick friends not going in for our own visit, c'mon!"

"Sorry, hyung," Wooyoung apologizes remorsefully his face now popping out above San's shoulder compelling Hongjoong to just sigh in exhaustion before inviting him in for a hug. Wooyoung waddles ruefully into his arms and receives a warm fatherly embrace. I smile proudly at the sight before me. Hongjoong is such a good leader despite the fact that we push his buttons continuously.

"Alright we have to leave in 15. Will he be good to go by then?" Hongjoong hyung asks me cautiously.

I just nod and soon Seonghwa hyung sits by Yeosang's head before lifting it and placing it on his thigh. He then begins running his fingers through Yeosang's hair, drawing circles on his scalp with the tips of his fingers. Yeosang sighs blissfully before closing his eyes with a soft smile on his lips. He's too cute.
