You Rock My World

You really have changed

Seonghwa started with Wooyoung and San's room as it was closest, knocking lightly on the door.

"Are you two awake?" he called.

After a small shift of the blankets, Seonghwa heard a quiet response.

"I'm up."

San's voice.

"How about Wooyoung?"

Nothing.

"Woo, don't make me come in there," Seonghwa smiled.

"He's...not in here."

Seonghwa's smile faded. Slowly he opened it to see San sitting cross-legged in the middle of the bed. His bed head stuck up in all directions but all Seonghwa noticed were his puffy eyes.

He didn't want to make too big of a deal out of it but he was worried.

He made his way over to the bed sitting down next to San. He wrapped an arm over his shoulder and pulled him to his side. San set his head on Seonghwa's shoulder.

"Want to talk about it?" Seonghwa said quietly, trying to straighten some of his twisted strands of hair.

"No. It's okay. We just had a misunderstanding. I know we'll figure it out. He just needed space."

"Alright. Well, you know I'm here if you need it. I know we haven't had a chance to get as close as you and Hongjoong but I care about you just as much and I'm always here to listen."

San looked up and him with a smile. He wrapped his arms around Seonghwa's frame and gave a tight squeeze.

"Thanks, hyung."

"Of course."

San pulled away and started making the bed so Seonghwa stood and walked towards the door. But he turned back again, not sure San was telling him everything.

"Really, I'm good, hyung. You've got to go wake everyone else up so go."

Seonghwa nodded and turned grabbing the handle. Before San spoke up one last time.

"Could...could you check on Wooyoung for me?"

Seonghwa looked back and San was looking at the floor. Seonghwa nodded.

"Of course."

"Thank you, hyung."

Seonghwa smiled sadly and finally left the room, making his way to Yeosang and Jongho's room. He knocked lightly, once again.

"Are you guys up yet?"

"I am. I'll get Yeosang up," Jongho responded softly and Seonghwa nodded, even though he couldn't see him through the door.

"Alright, be ready in thirty."

"Yup."

Seonghwa moved on the the last door. Mingi and Yunho's room. He had already guessed it was where Wooyoung would go. They had been bandmates originally after all and he was probably most comfortable with them.

He knocked lightly.

"Anyone awake in there?"

No response.

As he'd predicted.

He slowly opened the door and entered the dark room, moving towards the windows. He pulled back the curtains, flooding the room with light and inciting a few angry grumbles from the bed.

He turned, smiling softly as he saw the three cuties snuggled together, Wooyoung tucked between the two giants.

"Good morning," he smiled.

Yunho responded with a yawn, rubbing his eyes. Wooyoung groaned, placing a pillow over his forehead. Mingi slid under the blankets, covering his body.

"Come on guys, it's time to get up. We head to practice in half an hour so hurry up and get dressed."

Yunho nodded, standing and moving towards the bathroom, only one of his eyes truly open. Seonghwa moved towards the bed to get the other two moving.

He started with Mingi since he was on the end, wrestling the blanket from his hands and pulling it off the bed. Mingi protested but eventually gave in, sitting up and moving to grab his glasses.

Seonghwa moved around to the other side of the bed to wake Wooyoung up, moving to grab his pillow. But Wooyoung had been ready and he grabbed Seonghwa's arm, knocking him off his feet. Seonghwa tumbled onto the bed and Wooyoung grabbed him with his legs, pulling him into a snuggle-hold.

Seonghwa sighed.

"Woo...come on you have to get up," he said, trying to remain irritated but eventually smiling.

"I guess you heard about San and I?"

Seonghwa looked at Wooyoung who was well-concealed by his oversized hoodie. He noticed his eyes were puffy as well.

"He didn't tell me much, but I'm pretty good at reading between the lines. Want to talk about it?"

Seonghwa tried to brush Wooyoung's hair back, moving the hood of his sweatshirt lower but Wooyoung twisted away.

"Maybe later."

"Okay. Listen, I don't know what happened between you two but if practice is—"

"I know, if practice is screwed up by it we'll be in big trouble. Trust me, I won't let it affect our first big rehearsal here."

Seonghwa felt his heart ache. Was that really what Wooyoung thought his first response would be?

"No—Woo, if practice is too much we can always tell JYP you're not feeling well. You don't have to go if you don't feel up to it."

Wooyoung looked up at him in surprise.

"Oh."

Seonghwa bit his lip. He really did a number on these kids...but he was going to fix it. Suddenly he was crushed by Wooyoung's body on top of him as Wooyoung wrapped him in a hug. Seonghwa squeezed him back.

"Thanks, hyung. I'm okay but...thank you."

"Of course."

Just then Wooyoung giggled, surprising Seonghwa. He looked over at the devilish smile.

"What?"

"You really have changed Hyung. You're getting soft on me. You must really love me."

Seonghwa felt his face flush a bit as he pushed Wooyoung away.

"Aish—just get dressed already," he laughed as he stood up.

"I love you, too!" Wooyoung called after him as he made his way out of the room.

Seonghwa smiled, shaking his head. That was, until he reached his own bedroom. And remembered what had happened between him and Hongjoong.

His hand rested on the handle as he prepared himself. It was just Hongjoong.

He knew he needed to talk to him. But now wasn't the time.

As he was about to open the door, it pulled away from him, causing him to jump back. Hongjoong stood there, staring at him.

"Everyone's up," Seonghwa said trying to clear the air.

"That's good."

They stood awkwardly for a moment, Seonghwa eyes on the ground. He could feel Hongjoong sympathetic stare on him. It was just fueling his confusion.

"Hwa, are you sure—"

"I need to get ready."

Seonghwa brushed by him, heading to the bathroom.

"Hwa—"

He stepped inside and locked the door, leaning his back against it. Hongjoong took the hint and left the room, allowing Seonghwa to breathe. He knew it wasn't fair to take it out on Hongjoong but he didn't mean to. He was just overwhelmed.

He needed to tell him about Minho. And he needed to do it soon.
