"You don't have to go, Min. You have at least one of us in everyone of your classes. We'll get everything you need. Rest." ChangBin gently pushes MinHo back down on the bed.

"No. Lixie." MinHo fights against ChangBin's grasp. He holds his arms out for Felix as he sniffles.

"Lixie has to go to class, Minnie. You can go lay with Luns if you want. I'm sure she'd love company." ChangBin sighs as he falls down on the bed next to him. He wraps his arms around him and guides his head to his shoulder while Felix slips into the bathroom to shower.

"I'm scared. I want Lix." MinHo sniffles as he wraps his arms around ChangBin's waist.

"Min, I know you're scared. I know you're tired. I know Lixie is the only person in the world who can help you feel safe, but he can't miss class. You shouldn't even be missing class. They'll be pissed at me when they find out I'm having you stay home. I can talk my way out of trouble for you, but not him. I can take you to Luns if you want." ChangBin smooths his hair down and presses his lips to his forehead.

"I want Lixie." MinHo repeats, his voice trembling.

"He can shower with me. I can handle him, Bin." Felix pushes the bathroom door open before tugging his shirt up over his head.

"Lixie." MinHo breaks free of ChangBin and rushes toward the bathroom.

MinHo wraps his arms around Felix's waist and buries his face in the crook of his neck. Felix takes his face in his hands and presses his lips to his roughly.

"I gotta shower, Baby. You can come with, but you have to let me wash up." Felix explains as he scatters a few kittenish pecks across his rosy cheeks.

"I love you, Lixie." MinHo whispers as Felix struggles to step into the shower with MinHo attached to him.

"I love you, too, Minnie." Felix frowns as he tries to reach for his shampoo. The faster he can get done the faster he can handle MinHo and figure out what to do with him.

"How's Chan doing?" ChangBin questions as he peeks his head into JiSung and Chan's room.

"Showering." JiSung mumbles as he lays on his back with his head hanging off the edge of the bed. He looks upset, but not to the point it's alarmingly obvious.

"What's wrong?" ChangBin makes his way toward him and pokes at his exposed stomach.

"Nothing." JiSung sighs as he sits upright.

"It doesn't seem like nothing." ChangBin sits down beside him and nudges his playfully to try and loosen him up a bit.

"Oh—hey, Bin." Chan slips outs of the bathroom with his towel around his waist.

"What's wrong with Sung? He won't tell me." ChangBin turns toward Chan for an answer.

"I don't know—he was fine when I got in the shower. What's wrong, Baby?" Chan makes his way toward the bed and wraps his arm around JiSung's shoulders. He leans down and kisses the top of his head.

"I don't know. Something isn't right. Like—it's even worse than it's been. It feels like something is coming and it's almost here. I'm scared. I'm terrified." JiSung admits lowly as he leans into Chan.

"MinHo's doing the same thing. He's scared. He didn't want to leave Lix's side. Felix ended up letting him shower with him." ChangBin fills in Chan, a little uneasy by the fact both of their Syxx's are feeling similar things.

It was one thing when it was just MinHo. He's been through hell and back—quite literally—but JiSung is another story. If it's the both of them, something has to be off.
