Bangchan got a text at noon from Lee Know's phone regarding Han... again. Consequently, after dropping Felix off to his place and unconsciously fangirling over him, he decided to call his trusted friend. It was surprisingly when Han answered the phone, with a bit of dread in his voice.

"Oh, hello" answered Han. "What's up?"

The elder scratched his face as he glanced at Felix's apartment once again. "Do I want to know why you're at Lee Know's?" he started, reminding Han of a mother. "This is the second time you end up staying there overnight. Please don't abuse his kindness."

"Me?" asked Han in disbelief right after scoffing. Chan couldn't believe he was acting like this. "I was kidnapped, Chan."

"What?" said a voice in the back quite loudly, taking Chan by surprise. "You're exaggerating."

Bangchan could already envision Han's face while talking to the voice in the background, which unsurprisingly sounded a lot like Minho's. "You literally picked me up-"

"It's still my house, squirrel boy" he answered sharply. "Do you want to test my new cooking machine that airfires at one hundred eight degrees?"

"Uh, Chan" changed Han the subject after a few seconds of silence. "I'm guessing you wanna pick me up? Right?"

"Yep."

Han let out a sigh. "Please don't let Changbin carry me on the stairs again" he remarked. "That shit fucking hurt. He was also boring."

It was Chan's time to let out a sigh. "Can you give me Minho on the phone?" he questioned, feeling like his sanity was slipping away. "Please?"

A shuffle was heard and some other noises that Chan couldn't really put his finger on. Soon, Minho's voice was heard on the phone. "Hello Bangchan."

"Ah, sorry for Han" started Chan, letting his head rest against the headrest. "He can be quite energetic."

Lee Know just laughed. "It's fine, it's fine. You're coming to pick him up?"

"Yes, so-"

"You don't have to" interrupted Lee Know with a normal voice as if he was casually explaining him about some kind of tv show. Chan was confused at first, and Lee Know understood that from his loss of words. "I'm just going to spend the week writing and staying in. Han said he's alone too, so that's just fine."

"Oh, no, no, I can't put my responsibility on you" he tried to fight back. "I'll come and take him back soon, don't even bother with it."

"Chan," started Minho with a stern voice, "I'm keeping him here. He's still my bodyguard and I want him to keep an eye on me. It's not that complicated" he ended his explanation shortly after he began, thinking his point was quite imposing. "If there's nothing more, I'll hang up" he continued. "Oh, and don't worry about clothes he wears the same size as me."

With that, Minho ended the call. Chan was confused. Not mad, not angry, just confused, surprised and in disbelief. Since when have they been this close? I just don't... get it.

Changbin's afternoon was spend on the couch, playing on his PlayStation while waiting for Chan to get home. It was quite hard to approximate or even try and guess at what time he'd come back, so he just waited on the couch. From there he could easily see and hear the door opening, making it the perfect spot when waiting for someone. The coffee table in front of the male was clean, only holding a glass of water and a half-eaten protein bar from before working out. Changbin had actually arrived home a while ago, but he started working out in his room. After that, he took a shower and decided to spend some of his free time on the sofa.
