In no time, all the brothers were awake and about. Without any delay of any sort, Seungcheol collected Wonwoo in his arms and he was taken to the hospital.
Only the hyungs went in the car which Joshua drove because they were certain that it was just a minor concussion and Wonwoo had simply fainted.

Nevertheless the three, stayed for the night because Wonwoo yet didn't seem to regain consciousness.
.
.
Back at home, the brothers were busy calling about Jeonghan to get updates about Wonwoo.
All except one who sat unusually silent, maybe Jun was contemplating about his behavior with Wonwoo.
He neither reacted in favor of somebody caressing his head nor spoke during the whole conversation.
I did tell Soonyoung and Seokmin about how Wonwoo saw Jun in the living room late at night and Jun acted unreasonably with him.
I noticed that they had too, noticed what was wrong between them.

Wonwoo had regained consciousness the very next morning while the doctors deduced it to be a minor concussion due to weariness.
And when I thought about weariness, I remembered how he spend the whole of the previous day frantically searching for Jun.
Maybe something was wrong between them.

At the breakfast table, I was informed that Vernon, Mingyu and Seungkwan decided to trade places with the three hyungs so that they could rest later.
I decided to stay back for the time in order to make some soup for Wonwoo and visit him later in the evening.
Nevertheless, there was no sight of Junhui.

As I was heading back to my room, I overheard a familiar ringtone and stopped in my tracks. It was coming from Jun's room.
From the sounds, I could guess he wasn't picking up the call...
Junhui must be deeply impacted by this incident, I wondered.
.
.
At about seven in the evening, I prepared myself in order to head out to the hospital where Wonwoo was; admitted for a day more since Jeonghan asked the doctors to make sure he was alright.
As I went to the door after packing some essentials, there was somebody outside standing in the cold in a light brown coat.

"Do.. Dokyeom?", I called out when I saw him tapping his shoe in urgency as if waiting for someone.

"Ah, Y/n you're here", he smiled at me

"Ah, Y/n you're here", he smiled at me.

"um I was just going to the hospital.."

He seemed amused by my response.
With widened eyes and a little thought, he then turned towards me,

"Alone? How will you go?", he curiously questioned.

Taken aback by his question since I always went alone for all my work since high school, I awkwardly answered,

"ummm... Subway"

"Wahh you're....

Did you forget you have twelve older brothers?", he put his left hand across his mouth and gasped playfully.

"what use am I if I can't take my little sis to where she wants to go?", he chuckled, amazed in his tracks.

The very next minute, he walked closer to me and almost past me.
As my eyes traced his en route, my head turned around only to find him behind me now, pushing me gently in order to initiate my walk.

"I'm here.
I'll take you", he almost whispered in my ear causing shivers to roll down my entire body.
I tried my best not to react in my body's accord.
I just wasn't used to affection of any sort.

"You don't have to", I tried to look over to him still putting in effort to lead me towards the pathway.

"I want to."

"End of story..." he slightly tilted his head to the side, his smile still intact.

We were now in front of his car, parked right in front of porch.
"Get in little one", he opened the door for me.
At his remark, I suddenly felt vulnerable to the sensation pumping in my chest.
Dokyeom was gentle in ways I could never express. His mere presence made my mind feel happy yet I was utterly speechless by his tender manner of care towards me.

"by the way, you look cute when you're confused haha", he jested.
Following me, he too, entered the car and drove off from the pathway.
We drove across the city to a place subways could never directly get me.
I don't know how I would've reached there if it wasn't for Dokyeom.
We passed a great deal of shops and complexes as I looked out, admiring the city lights, not yet fully in function.

"Is this your first time in a car?", Dokyeom chuckled.

"No.. But it's my first time in the passenger seat.", I look back at him to see an amused face.

"But.. Why did you bring me here, didn't you have work tonight?", I asked because I knew Dokyeom was occasionally home.
He was mostly busy in shooting for his upcoming musical, 'Excalibur'.
He was set for the role of Arthur... Honestly, I don't know much about it.. But I'm really curious to watch it.

The shoots would last for late at night and when he came home, Dokyeom was tired enough to simply go to his room to acquire some sleep.

"I do.", he looked down with a sight.

"but I figured, everyone is getting time to have fun with you around.

As for me... We haven't even talked that much.
I just wanted to spend some time with you today.", he looked serene in the passing streetlights as felt his soothing voice.

"after dropping you.. I'll go back to set.", he glanced at me for a second before reverting his eyes to the windshield.

While I thought about what he said for a minute, he again broke the silence,
"The hospital ain't too far from our house so don't get confused with that."
.
.
"After seeing the admiration for citylights in your eyes,

I took the longer route.", he somewhat hesitantly confessed.
His pursed lips and restless eyes indicated that he was, as well, shy in the present moment.

As in ice-breaker, a deep sigh of gratitude left my lips and before I realized, the same was done by Dokyeom too.
Realizing that we both did the same thing for the same purpose at the same time,
we both chuckled and in no time.. Laughter filled the car.

"Thank you for making my day", I smiled at him.
